The CW noted, “Like I told you before the election, I, you know, I’m a generous guy. I’m [u/i], you know, I supported you before. I told you I’ll support you after. I keep my word.” The CW added that “I’m sure you’ll keep your word with me . . . ” to which defendant Cammarano stated “[y]eah.” The CW continued by stating “. . . you’ll support, uh, you know, my stuff . . .” Defendant Cammarano indicated that he had only “found out literally on, uh, Friday night that there was any kind of deficit.” Defendant Cammarano further noted that “[t]hey wrote street money checks, basically $19,000 beyond what was in the account on election day.” Defendant Cammarano indicated that he had obtained a “bridge loan . . . for $20,000" to pay back those whose checks had bounced as a result of the overdrawing of the election account. Defendant Cammarano was then told by the CW: “With me, you know, I, I–-, what I’ll do is like I did last time, you know, the time before. I’ll give you ten thousand dollars. Just don’t put my name on anything. I don’t want any trace. I don’t want any conflict issues, and we’ll do through, uh, Mike whenever Mr. Schaffer gets back. Hopefully next week we’ll meet or something.” Defendant Cammarano replied, “Yeah, that’d be great.” Defendant Cammarano then thanked the CW and stated “I appreciate it.” The CW explained that “I try to keep my word. Just make sure, you know, you don’t forget me,” prompting defendant Cammarano to assure the CW that “[w]e’re going to be friends for a good long time.” The CW added “[j]ust make sure you cover my back. Expedite my stuff when it comes in front of you. That’s all I ask.” At the conclusion of the meeting, defendant Cammarano thanked the CW again before departing.
17. On or about July 16, 2009, the Consultant and JC Official 1 met the CW at a diner in Hoboken, where they were joined by defendants Cammarano and Schaffer. During the ensuing meeting, the CW informed defendant Cammarano that “[t]here’s two properties. There’s a property on Grand Street that my guys are looking at. I, I haven’t seen it yet.” In response to defendant Cammarano’s question about the property’s exact location, the CW indicated that the CW did not know the cross street, but stated that “I think it’s, it’s a parcel of land or something that’s available.” The CW added “[a]nd then on, uh, Hudson, uh, Street, there’s an apartment building that’s all rentals now . . . and the whole building might be coming on the market.” The CW told defendant Cammarano, with respect to that building, that “maybe there’s an opportunity to go higher, add some density, go wider. I don’t know, you know, there will be different things so–- between the two projects.” The CW then remarked that “I’ll, uh, let you know as, uh, we get, uh, closer. So, I know I got your support so,” prompting defendant Cammarano to reply “[y]es, wholeheartedly.” The CW quipped “[a]t least I bet on the right horse this time,” to which defendant Cammarano replied “[y]eah, you did.”
"Massive Corruption Sweep in Garden State Dozens of public officials have been arrested in multiple raids in New Jersey today, including politicians and rabbis, in what's being called a massive federal money laundering and corruption sweep. Among those seen being taken into custody: Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano and Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell. A news conference is scheduled at noon todday.
For details, tune into 77WABC or listen online at http://www.wabcradio.com/listen
Organ selling! Definitely a Law and Order episode.
Law and order episode....ppfft.
This calls for a Jack Nicholson movie.
Rabbis? LOL.
They seem to be awfully political in NJ. A blind Rabbi ran as a rat for congress last year.
The sooner the better FRiend, the sooner the better.
His lawyer is already saying he will fight this with every ounce of his strength.
Yes, he’s a Democrat.

Levy-Izhak Rosenbaum, 58, of Brooklyn was accused of conspiring with others to acquire and trade human organs for use in transplantation. Rosenbaum, who was “purportedly” involved in real estate, was approached by a cooperating witness and an undercover FBI agent about buying a human kidney from a human organ broker, according to the complaint.
Rosenbaum said it would cost $150,000, with half payable up front, according to the complaint. Rosenbaum said some of the money would go to the donor and some to doctors in Israel, according to the complaint.
“One of the reasons it’s so expensive is because you have to shmear (meaning pay various individuals for their assistance) all the time,” according to the complaint. “It’s illegal to buy. It’s illegal to sell.”
The yuppies THINK that they "run" Hoboken, but they typically only stick around for five years and then go out to Montclair and Summit once they start having kids. The old Italians and Puerto Ricans still provide a more loyal clientele for the Dem machine.
I went to Seton Hall Law School the same time as Cammarao. He was a “gunner”, which is law school is an ass kisser who raises their hand every 5 minutes. Total d-bag even back then.
BTW Seton Hall is a comically bad law school, a repuslive, corrupt swamp that needs to be padlcoked. For God’s sake, check out their Wiki page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seton_Hall_University_School_of_Law&oldid=294827354
But Tony Soprano and Paulie Walnuts look like they didn't get pinched...thank gawd.
Seton Law produced such esteemed alumni as Robert “Come Grow with Us” Brennan (remember “First Jersey Securities) and Dennis Kozlowki of Tyco infamy. Basically a finishing school for the unethical, and a Catholic school to boot!

No wonder ostammer got the Jewish vote, lol!
Hey Dead, do you have a link to those Cammarano transcripts? That is GREAT stuff! Love it.

And here's a BIG picture of the Anthony Suarez, Ridgefield (my hometown!) mayor, doing the perp walk. I once went camping and repelling with this guy, with my two brothers and one other guy who was an EMT who had all the rescue/repelling equipment we used.
He shirt actually reads "Property of Ridgefield Police!" Classic.
This is too funny: Read Cammarano’s campaign site:
http://www.cammarano09.com/platform.pdf
This is too funny. Here’s his “going green” plank from the platform:
Being green makes economic sense. A greener Hoboken
requires a change in the way we think, plan, and act. The
time has come to employ energy-smart policies that will
reduce our carbon footprint and lower our municipal energy
consumption. In developing our environmental policy,
we must think globally and act locally.
Solutions:
• Endorse a municipal Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) ordinance for all future development
• Purchase Energy Star devices to conserve electricity
consumption in city-owned facilities
• Replace conventional vehicles that have reached their
end life with energy efficient hybrid vehicles
• Install green roof parks to augment our inventory of
open space and alleviate flooding issues
• Invest in solar panels and other renewable energy technologies
• Pursue grants and programs that promote the use of
renewable energy. Google the Berkeley, California’s
FIRST Solar financing for an example of one such plan
• Explore the use of bio-fuels to operate city vehicles
• Work with the school district to help implement a recycling
program in every school.
And here is his quote from the wiretap:
“I told [defendant Cammarano]
when we get elected, we put our friends on the boards so we know
we get the – don’t listen to these morons who say put this
environmentalist on, but they’re, they’re all f*cking kooks.”
The CW added that “[y]ou wanna have guys that will support guys
like me,” and defendant Schaffer stated “[g]uys that worked in
7
the campaign, put ‘em on.”
Hilarious leftist hypocrisy! God, this state is such a sewer.
What kind of jail time is Cammarano facing?
Hey did you see this video?

This dirtbag knocked up a chick in high school and lied about it, then bactracked and admitted it. What a vile, repuslive creep. Reminds me of most of my Seton Hall Law alum. That dump is an incubator for scuz-bag NJ pols and corruption.
Check out this youTube video of Scammarano in 2007:

What a tool. Have fun for the next 30 years in the federal joint you obnoxious jerk. Lecturing people on the law of contributions! This is beyond hilarious!
