My grandparents lived in North Jersey and I used to go visit them all the time before they died. There was a local scandal that erupted there with this prosecutor named Sam Stern. Apparently, America’s favorite Republican fatso Chris Christie received donations from Sam Stern’s father for the governor’s race and in return hired Sam as a federal prosecutor just as he (Christie) was about to leave his position as a federal prosecutor in New Jersey.
About a year or so later Sam Stern was “forced to resign” and ended up in Florida. The official story was that his fellow prosecutors hated him and felt he was wildly unqualified. There were also rumors circulating that the real reason he was fired was because he had a proclivity for underage boys, and that the US Attorney’s Office kept it under wraps because they didn’t want to piss off Christie, but i have no idea if those claims were ever substantiated.
In any case, looks like he tried running for Attorney General in Florida.
