But these thing are done "most delicately". It's not like certain politicians are actually in the mob or part of the mob... there are just things that are understood and where connections don't happen. In this case, he fucked up big time but mob connections won't show. NJ has always been shadowed by organized crime just like NY, CT, DL, Eastern PA. You don't get to be governor of NJ without some "understandings". It's not much different than the Vatican. Oh! Did I open another can of worms? Probably not.
