 U.S.: Norcross probe botched
U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie said the state agency had so badly mishandled the sensitive probe examining the actions of South Jersey political boss George Norcross III that federal investigators were unable to independently pursue the case.
John Gural, an ally of Rosenberg's, claimed that Norcross wanted him to use his position as a borough councilman to fire Rosenberg, who was the town's attorney.
That decision, Christie charged, gives rise to the perception that agency was protecting politicians and manipulating evidence, which "impairs the integrity of the state investigation." On Wednesday, Rosenberg said he still does not understand the state's decision not to allow taping at the political event, which was held at a county club in January 2001.
