What's up with Jeff Van Drew?

Van Drew is a puppet of south Jersey politico George Norcross. When Trump owned casinos in Atlantic City, he was
dropping cash all over south Jersey politicians, particularly Norcross and his cronies, including Van Drew who was an assemblyman and state senator representing most of the southern third of the state. Norcross was at Mar-a-Lago with Trump on New Year's Eve. (see the picture below) You've got to go back to the ELEC reports from the early 2000's to see where Trump money was sprinkled on politicos he thought could help him. My money's on Van Drew being bought and paid for long before he hit the Congress. This guy was gifted LoBiando's seat by the Democratic party he now betrays. It's all about the money. Van Drew is a creepy dentist with a history of having a thing for his female staffers. Trump's kind of guy.

from Trump and from Christie-who gave him some very favorable treatment with grants and tax breaks. So much so, its under investigation right now, much to Mr. Norcross' chagrin. These guys are neither democrats or republicans. They are kleptocrats. It's the tie that binds them all. Trump, Christie, Norcross, Van Drew. The whole lot of them. I actually thought Trump was prohibited from making political contributions while he owned casinos but that wouldn't be the only kind of benefit he could confer. Like Tom Smothers playing the senator in the movie Casino.
