To the Editor:
After the federal felony criminal convictions against Bill Baroni and Bridget Anne Kelly on charges related to the Bridgegate scandal, it is clear that these persons committed an unauthorized exercise of official functions and failed to perform duties required.
Because of this, like Christie, they too can be subject to a complaint for indictable Official Misconduct under 2C:30-2, which may be filed in Fort Lee Municipal Court by any citizen.
The State and Federal systems are considered separate systems, so Double Jeopardy protections do not apply.
Is it wrong that I’m smiling, when I think of Bridget Anne Kelly participating in the “Puppies Behind Bars” program at Edna Mahn Correctional Facility? Or Bill Baroni working on a new edition of “Scared Straight!” for politicians at Eastern Jersey State Prison near Rahway?
