He’s not going to lose.
Good point. However, two words: John Inglesino.
He's an attorney and the father of the family Rachel Canning's living with now. He's paid her tuition and her legal costs. He's likely paying her legal costs now.
Inglesino is a close friend of and former advisor to NJ Governor Chris Christie. Inglesino was awarded a multi-million 'no-bid' contract; Inglesino raised tens of thousands of dollars for Christie's campaign. He's currently the township attorney for Parsipanny, although not everyone's happy about that.
Just Google "John Inglesino" and you'll see how politically connected he is. Try and find any article about Inglesino that doesn't also mention Chris Christie and some form of political bribery.
Oh wow, major point. Of course, Christie can’t openly back this, but behind the scenes...
In the movie “The Roaring Twenties,” Cagney gets picked up for running booze. He says to his friend, “I know a lawyer.” She replies, “It would be better if you knew a judge.”
