Is this the kind of Attorney Generals that Bush was looking for?

Question

He certainly earned his brownie points against the Democrats didn't he? Of course, these are charges, not convictions at this time but we all know that he will succeed don't we?

this is what i found the most intersting about the Attorney General Christie:

In December 2005, Christie, placed the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, in Newark, New Jersey under a deferred prosecution agreement under the oversight of Herbert J. Stern, former Federal prosecutor and Federal judge. The University agreed to this arrangement in order to avoid Federal prosecution for Medicare and Medicaid Fraud. Stern hired the accounting firm of J.H. Cohn, from Roseland to audit the University records. The University agreed to pay Stern's hourly fee of $500/hr., and his firm Stern and Kilcullen, in Roseland, New Jersey, $1,000/hr. During the year of 2006, Senator Wayne Bryant, from Camden County, New Jersey, and Dr. Michael Gallagher, head of the UMDNJ Osteopathic School, at Stratford, New Jersey, were the only individuals charged by Christie's office. The fees charged by Stern, the firm of Stern and Kilcullen, and J.H. Cohen was estimated to be about $8 million dollar

Bryant's and Gallagher's bills was about $87,000. Christie also had Bristol-Myers Squibb, the pharmaceutical company in Princeton under a deferred prosecution agreement, under the direction of Frederick B. Lacey, former Federal judge and also a Federal prosecutor. The money collected from Bristol was sent to the Seton Hall Law School, Christie's alma mater, to establish a Chair on Ethics. Christie also required the University of Medicine of Dentistry to hire an attorney, Walter Timpone, at $325/hr. to review all the the agreements. His bill for 2006, was $300,000.

What is so ironic about this is that the accused/convicted State Senator Bryant was making a salary of $175,000 a year. The $8 million dollars paid to Stern and the firms he recommended cost more than the illegal activities of Bryant. Just simply ironic.
