N.J. Prosecutor Fired By Chris Christie Administration Tells All
Bennet Barlyn, the prosecutor who claims he was fired because he was prosecuting political cronies of Chris Christie for corruption, recently spoke out about the "mafia-esque" manner in which Christie officials (or Capos) fired him. After bridge-ghazi and all of the sordid news leaking out confirming Chris Christie's status as Bluto the Bully, the dedicated a prosecutor of 18 years in New Jersey’s Hunterdon County, revealed his firsthand account of being sacked by Christie's cronies.
''It's the same modus operandi,' he said Tuesday in an exclusive interview with MailOnline. ''It's the governor's office again using a state agency in an improper way for political purposes'. (DailyMail)
Baryln is currently suing the state of New Jersey for records that he claims will prove the case's dismissal was nothing but political retribution. Well, get a ticket and wait on line.
It seems he was able to get indictments against Deborah Trout, a county sheriff and Republican loyalist. Trout was accused of gross violations that included hiring staff without vetting them, supplying a Christie donor with a false law enforcement ID and forcing underlings to sign loyalty oaths. According to Barlyn, everything was fine and the case was running smoothly until the grand jury voted to indict Trout in 2010. After the charges went public, an indicted undersheriff, Michael Russo, allegedly told an aide that Christie will 'have this whole thing thrown out', according to The Hunterdon County Democrat. Soon thereafter, Dermot O'Grady, Chirstie's Deputy Attorney General and unflagging Christie loyalist, suddenly took over Barlyn's case. Barlyn explains how he was abruptly fired, shown the door, and escorted out by armed guards.
