But what do you think about E. Holder, DOJ - kudos to Holder

They'll have to make room for Chillary, too. - As far as Holder...

Christie - Truthhurts

^ That sure sounded like bullying to me. - s/msg

Because he was found NOT GUILTY a couple months ago - Truthhurts

^No bullying anywhere in post - just trying to start something

Since you seem to be calling my post "crap" - sm

I didn't call you post crap, just your one statement - Truthhurts

it certainly wasn't truthful. He was found not guilty in Bridgegate yet you did not refer to any other "scandal" so it was fair that I assumed you to mean Bridgegate.

But, if you mean Exxon...sure. Why wasn't it settled way back when???? It dragged on for 10 years and 4 governors.  BTW, check the suit against Dupont back in 2005 when they agreed to settle with the state for 2,400 acres of contamination at 8 sites. Ten years later, the contamination continues at 70 acres DuPont agreed to hand over to "atone for the contamination." Was Christie governor in 2005?

I really hate long, involved posts, and don't want to post the full article because it's large, but, these paragraphs jump out of the one article (not the above link):

 ..."The lawsuits, filed by the State Department of Environmental Protection in 2004, had been litigated by the administrations of four New Jersey governors, finally advancing last year to trial. By then, Exxon’s liability was no longer in dispute; the only issue was how much it would pay in damages."
...“The scope of the environmental damage resulting from the discharges is as obvious as it is staggering and unprecedented in New Jersey,” the administration of Gov. Chris Christie said in a court brief filed in November....
... But a month ago, with a State Superior Court judge believed to be close to a decision on damages, the Christie administration twice petitioned the court to hold off on a ruling because settlement talks were underway. Then, last Friday, the state told the judge that the case had been resolved....

...If the settlement is completed, it is possible that some or even none of the money would go toward environmental costs in the Exxon case: An appropriations law in New Jersey allows money beyond the first $50 million collected in such cases in the current fiscal year to go toward balancing the state budget, a state fiscal analyst said.

NOW, according to the lawsuit, "With particular reference to Exxon Mobil, DEP's review and investigation identified “some preliminary restoration work on natural resources” that was recommended for the Bayway and Bayonne sites. Sacco posited that, as compensation for the destruction of natural resources on its portions of the Bayonne site, Exxon Mobil could implement restoration projects similar to those being undertaken by IMTT."

"No agreement was struck.   Consequently, in August 2004, DEP filed two complaints against Exxon Mobil, asserting Spill Act and common law claims of public nuisance and trespass, for natural resource damages for the discharge of hazardous substances at the Bayway site in Linden, and the Bayonne site."

Likewise, DEP's Policy Directive explicitly states a preference “for the performance of restoration work and resource protection in lieu of payment of money damages,” and in so doing, has adopted a “forward-looking” approach seeking natural resource improvements to make up for historical lost use, instead of a “backward-looking” settlement of a dollar judgment owing.   In fact, the Policy Directive specifically suggests that responsible parties, such as defendant, might alleviate the effects on the public of the loss of use of natural resources by providing “substitute resources or resource services” which could be “both in-kind and out-of-kind.” Since, according to the Policy Directive, those substitutes “must bear a nexus to the injured resource and should be in the same watershed,” it is not unreasonable to conclude that if DEP ultimately proves injury to the public's use of natural resources in the area, the types of “remedies” DEP identified in its Policy Directive could indeed lessen the severity or intensity of those public injuries by replenishing the natural resources of the area, even if the actual natural resources lost cannot be restored or replaced.

Ecuador Family Wins Favors After Donations to Democrats

By FRANCES ROBLESDEC. 16, 2014

MIAMI — The Obama administration overturned a ban preventing a wealthy, politically connected Ecuadorean woman from entering the United States after her family gave tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic campaigns, according to finance records and government officials.

The woman, Estefanía Isaías, had been barred from coming to the United States after being caught fraudulently obtaining visas for her maids. But the ban was lifted at the request of the State Department under former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton so that Ms. Isaías could work for an Obama fund-raiser with close ties to the administration.

It was one of several favorable decisions the Obama administration made in recent years involving the Isaías family, which the government of Ecuador accuses of buying protection from Washington and living comfortably in Miami off the profits of a looted bank in Ecuador.

The family, which has been investigated by federal law enforcement agencies on suspicion of money laundering and immigration fraud, has made hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions to American political campaigns in recent years. During that time, it has repeatedly received favorable treatment from the highest levels of the American government, including from New Jersey’s senior senator and the State Department.

On the Menendez charges, the following site has a lot of videos on the subject and even more info on the above story.
 

Criminal charges against U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, could come later this month as a federal grand jury continues to hear evidence in the case, sources familiar with the investigation tell NBC 4 New York.

Menendez has been under federal criminal investigation in connection with his ties to Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen. The senator has admitted he accepted free private plane trips from Melgen, including a 2008 trip to the luxury resort of Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic. The senator has said he later repaid almost $70,000 for his trips on the doctor’s jet.
