  • United States Attorney District of New Jersey
    United States Attorney District of New Jersey FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Matthew Reilly July 12, 2017 Office of Public Affairs www.justice.gov/usao/nj (973) 645-2888 FORMER PORT AUTHORITY OFFICIAL SENTENCED FOR HIS ROLE IN SCHEME TO PUNISH FORT LEE MAYOR FOR NOT ENDORSING GOVERNOR’S RE-ELECTION NEWARK, N.J. – A former official of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey was sentenced today to three years’ probation for using the authority’s resources to facilitate and conceal the cause of traffic problems in Fort Lee, New Jersey, to punish that borough’s mayor for not endorsing Gov. Chris Christie’s re-election. David Wildstein, 55, the former director of Interstate Capital Projects at the Port Authority, pleaded guilty on May 1, 2015, before U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton to an information charging him with two counts of conspiracy for his role in the scheme. Judge Wigenton imposed the sentence today in Newark federal court. Wildstein, William E. Baroni Jr., 45, former deputy executive director of the Port Authority, and Bridget Anne Kelly, 44, former deputy chief of staff to Gov. Christie, engaged in a scheme to manufacture traffic problems in Fort Lee by reducing from three to one the number of local access lanes to the upper level of the George Washington Bridge. Baroni and Kelly were both convicted at trial for their respective roles in the scheme. On March 29, 2017, Judge Wigenton sentenced Baroni to 24 months in prison and Kelly to 19 months in prison. “As we said in our motion to the Court, although David Wildstein was the architect of this criminal scheme and a force behind its cover-up, he accepted responsibility for his actions and admitted his guilt,” Acting U.S.

  • Will Taking the Fifth Save Christie's Sidekicks?
    Will Taking the Fifth Save Christie’s Sidekicks? http://www.newsweek.com/will-taking-fifth-save-christies-sidek... Will Taking the Fifth Save Christie’s Sidekicks? By Pema Levy | 4/22/14 at 4:32 PM What do the emails of two of Chris Christie’s closest confidants at the heart of the Bridgegate affair tell us about the part the New Jersey governor played in the scandal? Too bad investigators can't get their hands on them to find out. At least not without extensive legal wrangling around one of the most famous but least understood amendments in the U.S. Bill of Rights: the Fifth. Bridget Anne Kelly and Bill Stepien, Christie's former deputy chief of staff and campaign manager, respectively, are invoking their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in the investigation into the infamous lane closures on the George Washington Bridge in September. The two aides featured prominently in emails published on January 8 showing their involvement in orchestrating and covering up the scandal. Kelly is responsible for the most famous quote from the debacle so far, in which she ordered up "some traffic problems in Fort Lee," setting off four days of gridlock there. In a later email, Stepien called the mayor of Fort Lee an "idiot." As prime suspects, the two were slapped with subpoenas from the investigating committee of the state legislature, along with 16 other officials. While documents from the others, as well as Christie's office and his campaign's, are now trickling in to the committee, Kelly and Stepien will hand over nothing.

  • Kelly V. United States—Supreme Court Overturns “Bridgegate” Convictions
    May 12, 2020 Kelly v. United States—Supreme Court Overturns “Bridgegate” Convictions The U.S. Supreme Court Reaffirms that, to Be Punishable as Wire or Federal-Program Fraud, the Core Purpose of a Fraudulent Scheme Must Be to Obtain Money or Property. SUMMARY On May 7, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously reversed the convictions of two associates of then- New Jersey Governor Chris Christie involved in the “Bridgegate” scandal, in which the defendants realigned two lanes of the George Washington Bridge as a form of political retribution against the mayor of Fort Lee, New Jersey, for the mayor’s refusal to support Christie’s 2013 reelection campaign. The Court explained that, to sustain the defendants’ convictions for wire and federal-program fraud, the government was required to prove that the specific object of their fraud was to obtain money or property. Because the government failed to prove that obtaining money or property was the central purpose of the defendants’ scheme, the Court overturned the defendants’ convictions. BACKGROUND In an effort to establish strong bipartisan support for then-Governor Christie’s 2013 reelection campaign, Bridget Anne Kelly, Christie’s Deputy Chief of Staff, courted various mayors for their endorsements, including the mayor of Fort Lee, New Jersey, Mark Sokolich. In summer 2013, Mayor Sokolich informed Kelly’s office that he would not back the governor’s campaign. In retaliation, Kelly and two officials from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (the “Port Authority”)—William Baroni, Deputy Executive of the Port Authority, and Daniel Wildstein, Baroni’s chief of staff—devised a scheme to cause, as Kelly wrote in an email, “some traffic problems in Fort Lee.” New York Washington, D.C.

    310-200-1847 [email protected] janellecarothers.com In the beginning, there was simply a love of story telling and a need to create. Over the years, as much as I’ve tried to convince myself otherwise ... there is no secret sauce - just relentless hard work, artistry and purpose. My love affair is the commitment to producing dujour moments for my clients. My attention to detail borders on madness. Seldom do I see apparel as a “yes” or “no,” but as abstract notions of color, proportion, patterns and genres to be cast into something strikingly picture-perfect. My best work springs from days of dehydration, famine, health food deprivation and 5AM crew calls. For some reason I can never find my car keys, but unfailingly earn gold stars for my flawless and timely execution of concepts - all while respecting the all mighty dollar. A good day consists of quality time with my son, working with creatives I respect, seventy-seven degree weather, and dark chocolate. TV/FILM Costume Designer REBEL.

Roychowdhury, Co-Chair Professor Douglas S. Parker, Co-Chair The explosive growth of social media over the past decade, together with advancements in computational power, has paved the way for many large-scale sociological studies, which were not possible before. Social media sites are now the primary source of data for much of our insights into society, from trending topics to behavioral patterns of various groups such as online shoppers or political parties. One particular area of interest is the analysis of events and interactions through their descriptions in social media posts. Inferring and analyzing real-world events from social media in a large-scale automated way provides a platform for understanding real-world stories, which are not only influenced by but also heavily impact public opinion. Therefore, it is necessary to design computational and statistical tools to automatically extract social media stories.

  • Hollywoodrituals I Am Glad I Am Not Famous Hollywood Transgender
    The Truth About the Entertainment Industry - #HollywoodRituals Aug. 27, 2020 Syndicated Columnist www.CathyHarrisInternational.com As a Syndicated Columnist and Investigative Reporter, I loved writing and researching at an early age. My current topic that I have been working on for two months – #HollywoodTrangenderAgenda, has to be the hardest topic that I ever reported on. Others reporting on the topic seem to have a lot of hatred and disrespect while trying to educate others. That is definitely not what I want to attract in my life so I have ended my research on this topic with this post. I have tried my best to be as sensitive as possible when reporting on this topic and I do apologize up-front if I have offended anyone. I Am Glad I Am Not Famous I came close to being famous when I blew the whistle on my job (www.TheCathyHarrisStory.com) and appeared on Oprah’s Oxygen Channel. During this time, I was contacted by Queen Latifah people’s twice to try to get me on her show to tell about the humiliation of black women who travel in and out of this country. I am so glad my life steered me in another direction and kept me on track. Again, in order to be RICH and FAMOUS, Hollywood (aka “The Entertainment Industry”) forces you to live with the same sex person or become inverted by changing your sex, raise inverted kids (raise girls as boys and boys as girls), and now they are attempting to legalize pedophilia and this is indeed a #HollywoodRitual.

On the state level, New Jersey’s high court will tackle Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.’s attempt reinstate trial court victories in litigation over its acne drug Accutane, while other pharmaceutical companies continue to defend the state’s civil suits targeting their marketing of opioid drugs like OxyContin. Here are four key legal battles likely to captivate Garden State attorneys over the next year. Ex-Officials Fight ‘Bridgegate’ Convictions While Gov. Chris Christie will be leaving office in January, the saga continues in the George Washington Bridge lane-closure scandal that plagued his administration. Onetime public officials William E. Baroni Jr. and Bridget Anne Kelly have appealed their convictions on charges that they orchestrated the traffic jam at the heart of the case for political reasons. Baroni, a former executive at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and former Christie aide Kelly were respectively sentenced in 2016 to two years and 18 months in federal prison for conspiracy and related charges.
