Cory Booker pocketed “confidential” annual payouts from his former law firm while serving as Newark mayor.

Booker, the front-runner in New Jersey’s Senate race, received five checks from the Trenk DiPasquale law firm from 2007 until 2011. During that time, the firm raked in more than $2 million in fees from local agencies over which Booker has influence.

Booker did not list Trenk DiPasquale as a source of income on the financial-disclosure report he filed as a Senate candidate in May. One part asks for a listing of compensation of more than $5,000 paid by one source for services provided from 2011 to 2013.

Booker collects a $174,496 annual mayoral salary, made $1.3 million in speaking fees over five years, and holds a $1- to $5-million stake in his Internet startup, Waywire, he reported on his Senate disclosure form.

I'm not a huge fan of Booker, but I don't see the problem here.

He's your basic centrist Wall Street/hedge fund Democrat. Not a liberal by any reasonable definition of the term. I'd go so far as to say that he lacks any core principles save the promotion of Cory Booker, which dovetails nicely (for him) with the desire for corporate intersts to have their man in the U.S. Senate.
 
Remember Cory was in the Obama dog house. Interesting that these stories are coming out.

Also since I live good ole fashioned conspiracies, could the Clinton's be trying to take him out?

I am sure Booker has Presidential aspirations and I think the Clonton machine is leery about being blind sided by another black guy.

Nothing happens by accident.

I'm familiar with who he is but I can't say I've followed his career closely. Sounds like he is the definite favorite to win this Senate seat. What do you think his political ceiling is? Does he have White House ambitions?

He'll win the Senate seat barring some major scandal (like, a real scandal involving hookers and cocaine type thing). I'm guessing he has higher aspirations, but he'll likely wait a few years.

did you not read the whole article? or only the parts that disinterested you?
