Woooooooweeee! That George Norcross is untouchable ain’t he? Of course he is. When you’re the most powerful person in NJ those are the fruits of your labor. You know it, I know it, and he knows it. If you have the balls to show up to your indictment press conference, sit in the front row, and look the Attorney General in the eye while he reads every single one of your 13 charges (without socks on btw) you are a different kind of a beast. I knew this case was never going anywhere and guess what? A judge threw it out in eight months. EIGHT MONTHS! Norcross moves like Saquon Barkley. You think you got him dead to rights in the backfield and then he finds a hole to scurry through with one quick cut and he’s off to the races.

Now how did he get away scot-free even though they had him on a recording making threats to secure Camden Waterfront property? Well the statute of limitations was up, but more importantly the threats he made were not extortion. That’s what they in the biz call “lawful economic bargaining!” Learn it, people! Are you in the business right now for a house some bitch couple is battling you for? Might I recommend some “lawful economic bargaining.”  Because the judge literally said this guy drives a hard bargain and there’s nothing the most powerful cop in the state can do about it. Listen you don’t have to like it, but you got to respect it at this point. This is the new Teflon Don.

Here’s more from the New York Post:

In a nearly 100-page ruling, the judge found the prosecution’s allegations did not amount to criminal coercion or extortion and were time-barred.

“Defendants correctly argue that when considering private parties negotiating economic deals in a free market system, threats are sometimes neither wrongful or unlawful. In these situations, there may be nothing inherently wrong in using economic fear to obtain property,” (Superior Court Judge Peter) Warshaw wrote.

Among the allegations against Norcross were charges that he threatened a developer who would not relinquish his rights to waterfront property in Camden, New Jersey, on Norcross’ terms.

The indictment cites a profanity-laden phone recording of Norcross in which he tells the developer he will face “enormous consequences.”

The person asks if Norcross is threatening him, according to the indictment. “Absolutely,” Norcross replies.

What’s the point of getting all that power if you can’t threaten a developer with enormous consequences? This is legal extortion and it happens everywhere in the world. The most recent case being Philadelphia City Council not voting on the Sixers arena until they put a little bit more cash in their wallets – I mean the Community Benefits Agreement. I hope one day to be in the position to do some lawfully economic bargaining myself.

Man I can’t get over how untouchable this guy is. He’s been in the cross-hairs forever and he always dodges it. Float like a butterfly, lawfully bargain economically like a bee is how that goes, right?


UPDATE: A relative reads the site and just reached out to tell me that the Teflon Don and I are related. One of my family names is Wolfinger. Good ol’ Joe Norcross from 1782 is apparently my 5x great-grandfather and his 3x great-grandfather. What does that make us second cousins? More importantly how do I get some of that sweet sweet NJ Democrat money?
