Federal Rocks Rocks Breach to the Governor of New Jersey between Mikie Sherrill and Rivals

The bitter battle in New Jersey, one of the only two races for the governor of this year throughout the country, is in a turmoil on Friday after a bomb report revealed Thursday that the United States Naval Academy blocked representative Mikie Sherrill, the Democratic candidate for the Governor.

The report revealed that a federal agency had admitted that it had wrongly gave a large part of the Democratic candidates to the Democratic candidates, the private military archives of Mikie Sherrill, to an ally of the GOP rival, Jack Ciattarelli.

The best Democrats in the Chamber in Washington call for an investigation in the accusations that President Donald Trump’s administration would target political opponents.

But Ciattarelli and his campaign raise questions about Sherrill, a graduate of the American Academy who continued to pilot helicopters during her military career, after the published documents revealed that she had been forbidden to walk with her classmates during her 1994 diploma for not having reported those who had cheated an exam.

And Ciattarelli calls Sherrill to release her files to prove why she was prevented from attending her graduation ceremony.

“What we have learned today is that it was part of it in a way or a form or form. Come cleanse, release the files. Tell us what is in your disciplinary files. I think the inhabitants of New Jersey deserve it,” said Ciattarelli on an interview on Fox News’ “Hannity”.

The accusations on both sides come while the last surveys of public opinion indicate a competition very close to the New Jersey in the Blue Sens in the race to succeed the Democratic Governor limited to term Phil Murphy.

“To have a guy against which I run, it does not stop at nothing, it will stop at nothing, which will illegally get records. It’s just beyond the pale,” said Sherrill Thursday evening on the campaign campaign in Plainfield, New Jersey.

Controversy has become viral after CBS News reported Thursday that the National Personal Records Center, which is a branch of the National Archives and Records Administration, published the inappropriate military personnel files of Sherrill, which included private information, including its social security number.

The national archives, in a letter this week, apologized to Sherrill, saying that the inappropriate release was due to the error of a government worker concerning a request for legal files.

Following the violation of the files, the Sherrill’s campaign sent letters of ceasefinitors to the national archives and the Ciattarelli campaign, as well as the main strategist of Ciattarelli, Chris Russell and Nicholas de Gregorio, which is described by the Sherrill team as “a campaign agent working in the direction of” Russell.

CBS News was the first to point out that Sherrill’s military files were published in De Gregorio.

“The Trump administration obviously violated federal law by publishing unwanted personal military files by Mikie Sherrill to a Ciattarelli campaign agent – who was then distributed and armed by Jack Ciattarelli”, the director of communications for the Sherrill Sean Higgins campaign was charged in a statement.

Sherrill’s campaign argued: “It is a breathtaking and disturbing leak that must be the subject of an in -depth investigation.

The chief of the minority, representative Hakeem Jeffries, the best democrat in the Chamber, said that he would “support a criminal investigation into the unauthorized and illegal liberation of the Mikie Sherrill archives”.

The rank member of the Chamber’s supervisory committee, Democratic representative Robert Garcia de California, as well as the Democratic colleagues from the Sherrill Chamber of the Delegation of the New Jersey Congress, also called for an investigation.

Two years ago, the Republicans launched surveys on similar inappropriate rejections of the military archives of the members of the GOP house, including the representatives. Don Bacon from Nebraska and Zach Nunn of Iowa.

On Friday, the Ciattarelli campaign in a letter postponed the claims of the Sherrill campaign and the best Democrats who put pressure on the Trump administration and the Republicans were behind the documentary press release.

The campaign accused that Sherrill “tried to distract the attention of this fact with false accusations and half-truths on what is equivalent to an error of office by the national archives of which they took responsibility and to apologize for the public”.

Almost at the same time as the CBS News report was published, the New Jersey Globe I went with a story focused on the fact that Sherrill is forbidden to walk with his class at the end of the Naval Academy in the middle of the cheating scandal, which made the headlines three decades ago and stimulated an investigation by Congress.

Cittarrelli campaign director Eric Alpert accused the admission by The deputy Sherrill in which she was involved and punished for, her involvement in the greatest scandal of the cheating and honor code in the history of the American navy is both amazing and deeply disturbing. “”

“For eight years, Mikie Sherrill built her whole political mark around her time at the Naval Academy and in the Navy, while hiding her involvement in the scandal and his punishment. The inhabitants of New Jersey deserve complete and total transparency,” he added.

And the campaign, Friday, in their letter, argued: “The real problem is exactly the reason why the deputy Sherrill was prevented from walking on her diploma”.

Sherrill, who was never accused of having cheated in the scandal, said on Thursday evening that “there was a school test that had been stolen. I did not know that it had been stolen. I passed the test afterwards. I knew what the rumor mill was. I knew people who were involved.”

“I did not present this information, and when I was asked, I gave all the information I had, but as I mentioned, I come from an incredibly responsible place, so I did not work,” she added. “And as I said, I am happy to be responsible for all of you and to be transparent.”

New Jersey is only one of the two states, with Virginie, who holds State scale elections For the governor in November. And the competitions, which traditionally attract disproportionate national attention, are considered to be early tests of the popularity and the agenda of the president, and key barometers before the mid-term confrontations of next year for the Chamber and the Senate.

Sherrill, on the campaign campaign, has repeatedly linked Ciattarelli to Trump.

“While Trump inflicted all this damage on our country, republican politicians as Jack Ciattarelli encouraged him at each stage,” said Sherrill in a recent fundraising e-mail to the partisans.

And Sunday, during the first debate between the nominees for the governor, Sherrill underlined Ciattarelli and accused “he will do everything that Trump tells him to do”.

Ciattarelli, who benefits from the president’s support, says Sherrill tries to use Trump as a cake.

“Listen, if you get a flat tire on the way back to work today, she will blame him on the president. There is nothing that she does not blame the president,” said Ciattarelli, when he was sitting earlier this week for an interview with Fox News Digital.

Ciattarelli, who made his third consecutive race for the governor and who almost turned the Democratic Governor Phil Murphy four years ago, reduced the speech that Trump is the dominant question of the race.

“We have a land fiscal crisis in the state. The president has nothing to do with this. We have a public security crisis in the state. Non -violent crime is through the roof. It has nothing to do with it. We have a public education crisis, a deafenvelopment crisis. Look at your monthly electricity bill.

And Ciattarelli, a former state legislator and certified accountant who launched a medical publishing company before embarking on politics, accused Democrats to blame, while working over time by trying to link Sherrill to Murphy, ultimately limited, and the Democrats who have long checked the state’s legislature in Trenton.

While New Jersey has long been a blue state in the presidential elections, Trump has gone from a deficit of 16 points in the state in the 2020 elections to a loss of 6 points last November.

Sherrill, who was a federal prosecutor before the first election of victory in the congress in 2018, highlighted the campaign on affordability, because the inflation problems persist.

“I am focused on laser to reduce costs for families like yours. I will declare a state of emergency on the first day, freeze your rate increases. I will demand the transparency and the responsibility of our government to save you time and money,” she said at the start of the first debate.
