exonerated from the trial and the investigation that we re not sure ever happened. and then six years later, he is partnering with joe di and getting that endorsement when he is running for governor. the article is very good at putting when we look back now, this all starts to add up and look much different. let me rush back to this again. this is what gets to me. there is something that comes through here. my limited experience in old philly politics, maybe it s sthil way is the whole thing the magistrate had an open door. you went in for a magistrate case, a small illegal case, and the drawer was open, okay. you re supposed to put something in there. this idea that everything is what s in it for me. you sit in a member s office, they go okay, you re not getting the point i want you to get to. what are you giving me. and that s what comes out of the hoboken case. it comes out of the bridge thing. the governor wants the mayor s support. he doesn t get it so, the bridge stops. the h
