Port Authority chairman hires former Homeland Security chief to represent him in GWB probe!

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Samson has referred to Chertoff as a friend. And the Port Authority gave Chertoff's security consulting firm a no-bid contract worth at least $600,000 to conduct a study of the agency's security operations.

Chertoff, a former U.S. attorney for New Jersey, founded the company in 2009. He is a native of Elizabeth and was the top federal law-enforcement official in New Jersey from 1990 to 1994 and later served as a federal judge for two years before his appointment by former President George W. Bush to lead Homeland Security in 2005.

2. At least Chertoff can provide the necessary equipment

to screen everyone for a wire or a weapon.

3. These guys are nothing more than common gangsters running NY and NJ

They get their puppet elected to office, then proceed to enrich themselves by strong arming local governments and robbing the taxpayers.

I guess when they were all in the drug business, it just wasn't profitable enough.

4. Samson should be worried

The fact that he is lawyering up I with this caliber of attorney is telling

5. Chertoff who made millions on TSA backscatter x-ray machines

that caused damage to travelers and who knows what else.
They've nearly all been tossed since they were calibrated
incorrectly, the criminals didn't spend time on the set up.

Homeland Security my azz.

6. Chertoff, who won a no bid $1.2 mil contract to survey the security at the Port Authority 2011.

(snip)

Records show Chertoff's consulting firm, The Chertoff Group, received a no-bid contract worth at least $1.2 million from the Port Authority to review the agency's security and provide recommendations. The results of the study, conducted in 2011 and 2012, while Samson was chairman of the agency have not been released publicly.

Pay backs are hell.
