Toms River, NJ – New Jersey conservative Republican leader Dr. “Maverick Murray” Sabrin, the Garden State’s strongest advocate of limited government and individual freedom and the front-runner for United States Senate, announced at a press conference in Toms River today calling for the United States Attorney for New Jersey, Chris Christie, to investigate Republican public corruption, not just Democratic public corruption. 

Dr. Murray Sabrin stated, “Chris Christie is turning a blind eye to the rampant corruption throughout New Jersey by Republican public officials and political bosses.  There is no way Chris Christie can be elected Governor of New Jersey if he continues with this partisan prosecution.  New Jersey voters are not looking for a Republican Prosecutor who only investigates Democrats and allows his Republican buddies to get away with ‘stealing elections’ as their next Governor.”  Sabrin continued, “Chris Christie had no problem inserting himself into the United States Senate campaign in 2006 by going after the Democratic nominee.  We cannot allow the United States Attorney’s office to be politicized, whether by Democrats or Republicans.  Unfortunately, Chris Christie’s actions, or lack thereof, feed into the electorate’s skepticism of politics.  It is a shame to tarnish the history of such a remarkable office.” 

Maverick Murray said, “I will not stand idly by while the U.S. Attorney lets the Republican Primary for the United States Senate be stolen from me.”  Sabrin continued, “If Chris Christie does not act immediately and this race is stolen from our supporters, I will do everything I can to prevent Chris Christie from being elected Governor of New Jersey next year.  If that means I must run myself and remind the voters of the partisan form of justice he performed, then so be it.  How can a few reporters without the staff and budget of the U.S. Attorney’s office outline the Republican corruption in their book ‘Soprano State’, yet Chris Christie doesn’t seem willing to put these party bosses under oath?” 

Dr. Sabrin remarked, “Our campaign has highlighted allegations of voter fraud, campaign finance violations, auto insurance fraud, along with intimidation of other campaigns.  I have personally called Chris Christie and I have not even received the courtesy of a return call.”  Sabrin continued, “If Chris Christie thinks he can shield his Republican pals from truth and justice, he is sadly mistaken.  Why won’t Chris Christie ask Ronald Gravino what role he has had with the corrupt failed Republican Enterprise chaired by Tom Wilson?  Is there a political deal we don’t know about?  Why won’t Chris Christie question Dick Zimmer, Andy Unanue or Anne Estabrook under oath?” 

Partial list of Republican cases Chris Christie has ignored

1.      The serious allegations of intimidation, corruption, lawlessness, campaign finance violations and other irregularities surrounding Dick Zimmer’s campaign for the United States Senate

2.      The rampant corruption by Ocean County Republican Boss George Gilmore and the rest of his cronies as has been widely reported in the media (for more info please visit www.trooc.com)  

3.      Somerset County Republican Boss Dale Florio and the Republican Freeholder Board’s involvement with the Somerset County Park Commission scandal (you can visit www.parkscandal.com for more information)

4.      New Jersey Republican State Chairman Tom Wilson’s involvement with his lobbying partner Robert Stears who plead guilty to stealing over $1 million from the Burlington County Bridge Commission with no one else being charged with any wrongdoing (Chris Christie’s office never even interviewed Tom Wilson) 

The two previous Republican cases prosecuted by Chris Christie’s office (Treffinger case and the Monmouth County case) were both initiated prior to Chris Christie was sworn to uphold the United States Constitution.  Chris Christie has yet to initiate any public corruption cases against any of the Republican hierarchy and it is well known Chris Christie plans to run for Governor next year.  Even a first-year law student can connect those dots!
