If Obama wins, Byrne suggests Hayden for U.S. Attorney
By Max Pizarro, PolitickerNJ.com Reporter
Former Gov. Brendan T. Byrne said today that if Sen. Barack Obama (D-Il.) wins the presidential election, he would like Obama to consider criminal defense attorney Joseph Hayden for U.S. Attorney in New Jersey.
“I think we’ve got to have a good us attorney, especially if Christie is going to be a candidate,” the former governor told PolitickerNJ.com, referring to current U.S. Attorney Chris Christie.
“Hayden’s got a nice personality, a sensational record and is well-respected,” said Byrne. “He’s also been very active in the Obama campaign. I want to suggest that they look at him.”
A partner with Walder, Hayden and Brogan, P.A., Hayden represents Bergen County Democratic Party Chairman Joseph Ferriero in the latter’s corruption case. Hayden served as deputy attorney general in the early 1970s, prosecuted the state’s first wiretap case and launched a grand jury probe of the Atlantic City police department.

Ferriero's lawyer the new U.S. Attorney? No way!
Well respected elder statesman Brendan Byrne has missed the mark on this one.
Appointing Joseph Hayden to the post of U.S. Attorney would signal that the fix is in on the case of the United States v. County Boss Joseph Ferriero.
As Ferriero's attorney, Hayden is the guy working day and night to prove the allegedly corrupt Bergen County Democratic Boss innocent of the charges against him. Everyone knows that Ferriero is working feverishly behind the scenes to play a major role as king maker of the next U.S. Attorney. To appoint Mr. Hayden to the position would only confirm these suspicions.
Boss Ferriero is placing all his chips on an Obama administration that would place a Ferriero friendly attorney in charge of the U.S. Attorney's office. We cannot allow this to happen.
Obama deserves to be elected President but New Jersey doesn't deserve a roadblock in the way of fighting Bergen County political corruption.
Democrats need to cleanse their party of those whose corruption and ethical shortcuts are costing New Jersey its integrity and honor.
Hayden for U.S. Attorney does not accomplish this goal.
