Sussex County First Assistant Prosecutor Gregory Mueller is launching an investigation into how the New York Post received copies of the salacious email exchages between Assemblyman Joe Cryan and former Corzine staffer Karen Golding, according to a report on NJ.com.  Mueller told the Star Ledger that the emails were sealed by Court Order.

The initial NYPost report said the emails were dropped at a reporter’s doorstep.  The story has since been updated, omitting that information.

Who is going to investigate Cryan using government computers to describe his erections?

Cryan Shameful

Assemblyman Joseph Cyran, the former Democratic State Chairman, used the computers of his legislative office and computers of the Union County Sheriff’s Office where he is employed as an undersheriff to exchange sexually explicit emails with a woman he repeatedly denied being involved with, according to a New York Post report.

In the emails, which can be viewed here, Cryan and Karen Golding, a former Corzine staffer and a lobbyist, read like cyber foreplay. The couple wrote graphic details, during work hours, of what they will do to each other in coming trysts. Cryan frequently describes his state of arousal and on at least one occassion invited Golding to his legislative office for a sexual encounter on his desk. “Surprise visits are welcome”, Cryan wrote in addition to the specific invitation for the desktop encounter.

The emails are part of a pleading in Morris County Superior Court wherein Golding argues for a sentance reduction for her conviction for stalking Cryan after their relationship ended.   The NYPost says that Cryan has fought for years to keep the emails from becoming public.

Rubbed the wrong way in Matawan

A two week investigation by the Matawan Police Department resulted in a prostution arrest on Friday afternoon, according the Matawan-Aberdeen Patch.

A Brooklyn woman is facing prostitution charges after she allegedly offered services to an undercover police officer at Hot Stone Massage Therapy in Matawan.

Inga Zubenko, 45, was arrested at about 4 p.m. Friday and charged with prostitution and operating within the borough without a masseuse license, according the Lt. Ben Smith.

The owner of the parlor, Lioudmila Tynanskikh of Manalapan, was issued a summons for operating a parlor in the borough without a license. The license for the parlor at 70 Main Street had expired and was never renewed, Smith explained.

10 members of Matawan’s 20 person police department participated in the investigation. No wonder it took two weeks.

There was little talk of bi-partisanship in Colts Neck yesterday morning at the Monmouth Republican Nominating Convention. The Republican nominee for Governor showed up at the Monmouth County Republican Nominating Convention.

Governor Chris Christie brought the crowd of some 400 county committee members and guests to their feet several times as he declared that it is he, and the Republicans who have stood with him “along with some right thinking Democrats,” who have turned Trenton upside down since he was elected in 2009.

Christie acknowledged the impact that the Monmouth GOP had in his 2009 victory over Jon Corzine.  “When most people didn’t know me, you gave me a chance. When nobody thought I could win, you did,” Christie told the crowd as he thanked Monmouth for the 64,000 vote pluarity he won in the county in ’09 general election and the first GOP county endorsement he received in the ’09 primary.   He specifically thanked former Monmouth Republican Chairman Joe Oxley who is now out of politics after being sworn in as a Superior Court Judge on Friday.  “I will miss Joe’s political partnership,” said the governor, “but I know New Jersey will be well served by Joe in his new position, which I had something to do with him getting.”

U.S. Senate Passes A Budget For The First Time In Four Years

After an all night debate, the U.S. Senate passed a $3.7 trillion budget at 5am this morning.  With four Democrats joining all the Republicans in the upper house in voting no, the budget passed by one vote, 50-49.

The Seante’s spending plan, the first it has passed in four years, increases taxes by $1 trillion over the next decade, modestly reduces projected spending and plans for continued deficit spending.

New Jersey’s Frank Lautenberg, was the only senator not voting.  Lautenberg has been absent from the Senate, on doctors orders, for the entire month of March.

Sex, Lies and Video Tape: Dominican Lawyer Said He Was Paid To Finger Menendez

menendez dancingThe Dominican lawyer who represented the two women and the child who said they were paid to have sex with U. S. Senator Bob Menendez last April now says he four media outlets encouraged him to fabricate the allegations, according a a story first reported on Univision.

Unvision is one of the outlets accused by the lawyer of master minding the plot, along with CNN, Telemundo and The Daily Caller.   The Daily Caller first reported the allegations, with video, that Menendez agreed to pay two Dominican prostitutes $500 for sex, but only paid them $100.  The recanting lawyer, Melanio Fegueroa, said that someone named “Carlos” who claimed to be employed by The Daily Caller, offered him $5000 to fabricate the prostitution allegations.  The Daily Caller denied paying for the story.

“It seems clear to me Figueroa is under pressure to change his story,” Daily  Caller editor Tucker Carlson said Friday morning. “What I know for certain is  this claim is a lie. The Daily Caller never paid anyone, was never asked to pay  anyone and of course never would pay anyone for this story.”

No person by the name “Carlos” ever traveled to the Dominican Republic on  TheDC’s behalf.

But The Daily Caller has learned that a man who identified himself as “Carlos” to ABC  News was also the translator — provided by Figueroa — who appeared in  TheDC’s late-October interviews. At no time did TheDC offer to compensate that  individual. Following the interview, The Daily Caller independently verified the  translations.

Menendez has denied the prostitution allegations and his calling for the investigation and prosecution of those responsible for his “smear.”  Yet, the senator has refused a Dominican judge’s heed that he travel to the Caribbean country to testify.

Happy Anniversary to Highlands

On this day in 1900 Highlands officially separated from Middletown.  (Hat tip Twin Lights Historical Society)

According to historian John King, the property taxes were the issue that drove Highlands from Middletown.   Highlands leaders were not happy that their neighborhood was sending $1000 to Middletown and only getting $500 in services.

But none have seen such beauteous views

As on the Highlands may be found

The ocean, bay, its wooded heights,

The beach, the shore, the wavelets’ roll

Combine to make a picture such

As moves the heart and thrills the soul
