If he was involved, he's done politically outside of Jersey.
If not, it illustrates that he has poor judgment in hiring those surrounding him and those he hired think they are above the law and he's still done politically outside of Jersey.

This does point out why it is better to consider presidential candidates from the ranks of governors, rather than senators and representatives.
Governors must act during their terms in office. Thus, we get a chance to see how they have responded and expect how they would act in presidential affairs. We also get indicators of the types of people they would appoint to various federal positions.
Senators and representatives get to hide behind faux votes and speechifying.
Mark Levin hinted he may have more baggage than we know and it maybe a reason Romney looked him over. Jersey, Corruption, and this screams of Big City Boss type mentality and actions and that is for starters. Maybe more shoes to drop? Who knows....
