A former lieutenant in the New Jersey State Police says that for three years he was involved in a covert operation that used confidential State Police records to discredit the Whitman administration and boost the candidacy of Gov. James E. McGreevey.

Perfect !

One could only wish this information had been available at the same time the media were using it to discredit Whitman and the State Police !

Now it's : "Ha-ha ! Look what we did !"

Most of the media won't even touch this story, but it should be "Page One-ABOVE THE FOLD".

"DeFeo confirmed that he copied the records but said he was entitled to them as a state trooper."

He may have had the right to view these documents, but it's another thing to copy official records and disseminate them or the information within. That is totally illegal.

you'd think the current AG would be on top of this like stink on you know what, but he's McGroovy's hand picked man....

"Defeo said what he did was justified because the issue of racial profiling was so important." Does this sound familiar? There aint a dime's worth of difference between the rats and the commies.

I know that others claim that THEIR state is the most CORRUPT in America but; really NO STATE can compare to New Jersey. It is absolutely the most corrupt in the nation!

Same MO as MemoGate. These Democrats are one-trick ponies.

You are absolutely correct, I know many NJSP troopers, some are good, some are bad. But as a group, yikes!

So the Dems used the black community and the issue of Racial profiling to get dirt to win and election??

Also .. isn't this illegal?

[eureka!]

Better ping yet...

.....you'd think the current AG would be on top of this....

Tragically, Peter Harvey is afflicted with "Clinton-Reno Disease" in which a top law enforcement official "forgets" his/her job is to enforce the law.

The disease also is characterized by delusions whereby the law enforcer uses his office to protect the law-breaking politican who appointed him.

Sorry to hear that. On the bright side, McG's apparent corruption does not stop with just this. Justice may be done, some day....

Perhaps it only gets partial play in the media.

Perhaps there are those that believe the rationalization that the racial issues are so overwhelming that they need to be fabricated.

Nevertheless, this is one more brick in the wall of indifference that normal Americans will build up when they hear the politicans starting to talk of problems. Cynical attitudes don't lead to participation. The Dems keep running this play and the fans are getting tired.
