Prosecutor sacked for bringing case against Christie cronies reveals ordeal
A prosecutor who was sacked after attempting to indict Chris Christie's political cronies for corruption told MailOnline today about his ordeal at the hands of the New Jersey Governor's 'mafia.'
Bennett Barlyn, a prosecutor for 18 years in New Jersey’s Hunterdon County, has spoken out following the revelations over the Bridgegate scandal to reveal his firsthand account of being fired and shamed at the hands of Christie and his political henchmen.
He said there were parallels between a criminal case he tried to prosecute – before, he says, it was unlawfully dismissed – and the Bridgegate scandal, where Christie’s staff closed off travel lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge, in order to retaliate against a Democratic mayor who had declined to endorse him for re-election.
'It's the same modus operandi,' he said Tuesday in an exclusive interview with MailOnline. 'It's the governor's office again using a state agency in an improper way for political purposes'.

this could be the "take down" of the century.. and so soon into it too!
I suspect that everyone who has felt the sting of a Christie flogging will come out of the woodwork now. This is getting really interesting.
Now that the floodgates have been opened, and Dawn Zimmer from Hoboken has come forward with her story. On the heels of the mayor of Fort Lee. And others. Yep. The tourniquet's coming off the traffic lanes, and the traffic cones are slowly being moved out of the way...
Let the games begin.
The chickens have come home to roost!
It's over!
- From one one-hit wonder to another! Goodbye Guv!!!!
