A few Republicans, and boatload of Democrats.

“NEWARK — A New Jersey assemblyman and the mayors of Hoboken and Secaucus were among public officials arrested this morning by FBI agents in an international money laundering and corruption probe that includes rabbis in the Syrian Jewish communities of Deal and Brooklyn.

Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt (R-Ocean), Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano, Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell and Jersey City Council President Mariano Vega are among those already brought to the FBI building in Newark. Jersey City Deputy Mayor Leona Beldini has also been arrested.”

Interesting how the media is only naming Van Pelt a “Republican”, when the others are all Democrats. Still this is a major corruption sting and you can only wonder how high up the food chain this will go.

Is Corizine answering the phone yet?
