Imagine the rage that must be boiling within Murray Kushner's resentful little body.
Today, the Star-Ledger ran an article called "Kushner's Cozy Pad" (house photo on teaser page, but town misidentified as Long Branch) that details the return to prominence that brother Charles Kushner can expect now that his house arrest has ended.
Moreover, in a delicious slice of ironic justice, it appears that it's Murray's business ambitions that are being hampered by the sullying of his family name -- the very sullying Murray himself engineered when he hired a spy to steal his brother's documents and then cooperated with the US Attorney to pressure Charles into a settlement favorable to Murray.
The Courier Post reports that Cherry Hill's decision to allow residential development on the property of a synagogue "is now beset by conflict-of-interest concerns." Apparently, Richard Shapiro, the attorney for the developer, JAMM Realty of Bridgewater, is also the chairman of Cherry Hill Democratic Committee.
That's the same committee that unexpectedly kicked Council Vice-President Joyce Walker, a "well-respected African-America woman" off its ticket, allegedly at the behest of South Jersey kingmaker George Norcross and his enforcer, State Sen. John Adler (whose wife Shelley also serves on the Cherry Hill council).
At the zoning board's Aug 17 meeting, Walker asked her fellow members "to divulge if they also sat on the Democratic committee" -- the group that kicked her off the ballot after two successful terms. Six of them did. Shapiro attacked Walker repeatedly when she decided to run as an independent after being shown the door by Norcross and his henchmen.
And now Walker and others are using JAMM's connection to Murray Kushner, who owns at least 10% of the company, to suggest that strings were pulled on behalf of "the Kushner family, who are large political campaign contributors."
It's almost certainly a frivolous linkage. But there's something very intriguing about the idea of Murray Kushner's business being damaged by the charge of "Kushner political influence" means that Murray's being hoisted on his own petard. After engineering the slander of his own brother, Murray Kushner is now paying the price for damaging the family name.
