A researcher working for Republican Tom Kean Jr.'s campaign became pen pals with a jailed Democratic political boss in an effort to dig up damaging information on Kean's opponent, U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez. Former Hudson County Executive Robert Janiszewski, now serving time in a federal prison in Kentucky on corruption charges, offered political history and strategic advice to the Kean campaign in a chatty, friendly letter obtained by The Star-Ledger.
"Political intrigue is ... well ... intriguing," Janiszewski writes in the opening, summing up the unlikely alliance between himself and an agent for a Republican campaign. The letter, dated June 11, suggests an ongoing, secret correspondence. "By the way, don't worry about the stamps -- the (Bureau of Prisons) rules prevent you from sending stamps anyway. And, I assure you that no one else is aware of our correspondence. You can imagine the position I would be in with a U.S. Senator breathing down my back -- I am a federal prisoner, after all," Janiszewski wrote.
Janiszewski, a sometime-ally, sometime-rival of Menendez's in Hudson County, offered a long list of local politicians who hold grudges against the senator and may be able to provide damaging information about him. One of those people mentioned by Janiszewski -- Oscar Sandoval, a Union City psychiatrist and former FBI informant who helped land Janiszewski in prison -- rocked the U.S. Senate campaign this week by disclosing a secret recording he had made of Menendez's closest adviser.
"So ... Sandoval ... what a trip," Janiszewski wrote. "My read is that Sandoval cannot be trusted because he likely has several agendas to satisfy -- all having to do with advantaging himself -- so, be careful + seek proof. If he has it, then full speed ahead."

What is the researchers name? Could be ANOTHER gay mafia staffer trying to bring down Kean's campaign.
Time to go after Kean now that Foley's finished off, I guess.
But.. but... Judge Starr is a pervert and can't be trusted! But a convicted felon speaks the truth!
The Star Liar tried to make Kean look bad but all they did was list Democrats willing to spill dirt on candidates and point out Democrats were in prison LOL.
The uber-liberal Star Ledger prints this "political intriguing" story, but has nothing in print about the entire network of Dim intrigue behind the Foley story.
Do you think they might be trying to spread the "political" slime to Kean? Nah /sarc
Watch how many national media venues pick up this story, on que! and still never cover the Dim operatives trying top dump Foley's slime on Hastert and the whole GOP.
This is serious bad news for bagman bobbie. Bobby J is the one guy who can bury him. He was the old Hudson County bagman. He KNOWS the system of PAY TO PLAY the rat ran for many many years in that part of Jersey. Yes THIS is very bad news for bagman bobbie.
