Five months after Gov. James McGreevey left office in disgrace, the Star-Ledger has finally buried the fact that McSleezy bowed out of office to avoid an extortion charge.

I wonder if that extortion charge will ever see the light of day. I think it's unlikely, and wonder if we'll ever know why.

.....the Star-Ledger has finally buried the fact that McSleezy bowed out of office to avoid an extortion charge.....

Perhaps the citizens of the state won't have to wait too much longer for justice.

Granted every job McGay is connected with is now tainted b/c of his corrupt activities in government----but Lesniak must have had a good reason to dump his pal McGreevey from the billion $$ Xanadu project (which McG had approved as one of his last official acts.)

Lesniak clients Mack-Cali and Mills Corp (Xanadu developers) were drawn to Lesniak's legal firm not by his expertise, but by his close friendship with McGay, and the behind-the-scenes ability to pull strings and rig the porcess for the favored few insiders.

Lesniak, Mack-Cali and Mills Corp clearly felt their interests were jeopardized by McG's presence on the project----McG got dumped the day after he went public by attending a Xanadu meeting.

Maybe Lesniak, Mack-Cali and Mills Corp even got wind that an indictment of McGreasy is coming down the pike.
