As a side note for memory:
Campaign Cash From World’s Worst Fugitive
Lots of Democratic pols, most prominently Hillary Clinton, are dealing with some embarrassment this week, after stories first appearing in the L.A. Times and Wall Street Journal about a major fund-raiser who is also a fugitive in California. Fifteen years ago, Norman Hsu pleaded guilty in an investment fraud case, then skipped out on his sentencing. These days, the Hong Kong native is a fairly well-known businessman in the New York apparel business, and since 2004 or so a heavy-hitting Democratic donor and fund-raiser. He’s not exactly in hiding, even on the board of a college while his address is littered across campaign finance reports. Somebody should introduce the California fugitive squad to Google. Anyway, Hsu gave $1,000 to Jon Corzine’s campaign for governor in 2005 and Frank Lautenberg’s U.S. Senate re-election campaign this year. Both say they’ll give the money to charity or return it. Then again, they’re rich and not running for election this year. The New Jersey Democratic Party isn’t so sure it’ll give its money up. They’ve gotten $49,000 since 2005 and claim they will check their legal options. Shouldn’t they already have done that research from when they had to cough up Charlie Kushner’s cash?
Democratic state Assemblymen Mims Hackett Jr. and Alfred E. Steele were among those arrested, along with Passaic Mayor Samuel Rivera.
I doubt that because the two state assemblymen busted are democrats and they are the biggest fish caught.
Ummm...New Jersey...naawww! /s
“Democratic state Assemblymen Mims Hackett Jr. and Alfred E. Steele were among those arrested, along with Passaic Mayor Samuel Rivera. The chief of staff to Newark’s City Council president was also arrested, the official said.”

See, Tony Soprano is gone and the whole operation folds ;-)
Oh please let one of the trails lead to Corzine’s office. That would be poetic.
I’m troubled, confused and puzzled.
It will all go the way of Schumer’s cooling saucer.
Because as you know... they never make ethics rules, ergo, they don’t have to follow any rules... just scream at republicans, who mess up and made ethics rules. /s

Corruption in Joisey? Fahgettaboutit!
This won’t change a thing. They’ll just vote in another Dhimmicrat scumbag to replace the ones they just lost..............
Ths is a violation of states’ rights. Corruption is a requirement to hold public office in Joisey.
