Latest 'Rat ruse from the Garden of Weeds state.

It was the costliest traffic ticket Zulima Farber never got. By coming to the aid of her live-in boyfriend, New Jersey's attorney general has put herself in the eye of a storm, defending herself against questions about whether she influenced police officers who had pulled over his vehicle.
On May 26, police in Fairview stopped Hamlet Goore's minivan at a seat belt checkpoint. He called Farber, who was driven to the site in her state car. The minivan, it turned out, had an expired registration. Police were arranging to tow it until Farber arrived. Ultimately, they let Goore drive it back to the North Bergen home he shares with Farber, the state's first Hispanic attorney general.
Goore updated his registration that day but later received a court notice that he had not paid a ticket for letting it lapse. Farber, 61, says she did nothing to influence the officers. That she would put herself in a position to be accused of doing so, however, has surprised many in New Jersey, given her own driving record. She has had 12 speeding tickets, four bench warrants issued for her and three license suspensions. The spotty record was enough to prompt former Gov. James McGreevey to drop her as a potential nominee to the state Supreme Court in 2003. Goore, 65, has had similar problems. He has had his license suspended 11 times for offenses ranging from excessive parking tickets to driving without insurance.
..... critics say Farber's judgment in showing up at the scene of Goore's traffic stop calls into question her fitness to serve as New Jersey's top law enforcement officer. Gov. Corzine....appointed retired Judge Richard Williams as special prosecutor....Farber has hired a defense attorney and well-known Democrat.

Oh, sure that happens all the time /sarc).
Doesn't everybody's live-in have "confidential state documents" concerning law enforcement in his car for casual reading while waiting in line at the bank drive-through?
ping
she can't be fired, she would have to be impeached.
(....and, what is that smell?)
Oh....it's just New Jersey again....the hits keep coming.
Ping to the ongoing saga of the Rat Culture of Corruption
As an aside, let's end this ridiculous notion that states, counties, and cities have no responsibility to enforce immigration laws. Are they not part of "all the laws of the United States?"
Latest 'Rat ruse from the Garden of Weeds state.
Gombat is Acting Director of the Irvington New Jersey Office of Community Development and Planning..........mmmmmm, think about it....all that federal and state government money.
Democrats in action.
It seems to me that Democrats are only competent at one thing........CORRUPTION.
Do they normally take and impound cars because of expired registration? Just wondering.
A democrat politician in New Jersey is corrupt?
It could never happen.
This creature, Farber, is a disgrace. Corzine is a disaster. I gotta get outta this state!
What amazed me was her boyfriend got his licence reinstated within an hour of him getting ticketed.
And the voters keep sending these wackos back to office. How smart are they????????
It says a lot about a state when its most admirable representative is a fictional character named Tony Soprano
Different set of rules for the ruling class once again. But that being said, I in no way support the seatbelt fishing expeditions and think they should be immediately and permanently banned.
Naa Naa Naaaa!
Bush Lied, People Died! Republican Culture of Corruption!
Naa Naaaa! I can't hear you!!!
