I'm sure this is all just a big coincidence.

Obama throwing another ally under the bus. Menendez a card carrying member of BO's radical left,
decides to go off the reservation on normalization with Cuba & rails against BO's putrid Iran treaty
& guess what, all of a sudden he's facing charges of corruption. I don't like Menendez but he gets
my praise for being one of the lunatic left finally standing up to power.

I do find it puzzling that the DOJ would go after a Democrat for just corruption.

If that became the norm the entire administration would be in jail.

You may be on the something.

Yep, just ask Dinesh D'Souza how the current corrupt 'system' works.

Dinesh D'Souza is a convicted felon. What do you think of him dave007?

Neither party is absolved from those that belong in prison.

 

[NFLTrends]

Wow.... A politician using his position for his advantage and to take money/gifts.

Just the usual. There isn't 1 politician in office who isn't as corrupt as him. They are all just as corrupt or more. From the President on down. All that matters is how much money can they get and how many votes they can get to get re-elected, nothing else matters, no matter how many people/voters/citizens they screw over. All that matters is what's in their own best interest.

Typical.....

 

[Acebb]

Guess who else was involved

The New Jersey Law Journal report also said the government alleges that Menendez and then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) met with then-Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius regarding Melgen in 2012 — something that has not been previously reported. The Washington Post in 2013 reported that Menendez met with the acting administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services regarding a Melgen billing dispute.

Guess who benefits from these headlines?

 

[The Guesser]

It would be great to get another Hawk like Menendez out of the Senate and replace him with someone sane.

He pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance laws.

There are a couple of reasons he was prosecuted, he poked the emperor in the eye with a stick and his last name isn’t Clinton.

In a way he is lucky he wasn’t Nakoula Basseley Nakoula who did time in jail for no other reason than being a scapegoat for the emperor.

Ah, so he did nothing wrong and was only prosecuted as revenge. Gotcha

You guys would defend Sandusky if he made an anti obama movie

Cruz: Menendez probe politically motivated

By Jonathan Easley

Greg Nash​

Des Moines, Iowa -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) suggested Saturday that the Justice Department’s criminal corruption charges against Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) are political retribution against the New Jersey Democrat for opposing the White House’s negotiations with Iran.

Cruz made the allegations to a throng of reporters jammed into the corner of a tent outside the Iowa Ag Summit in Des Moines without even having been asked about the Menendez criminal charges.

“The announcement this week by the Justice Department that they were bringing charges against Bob Menendez — I will point out that the timing seems awfully coincidental that … in the very week that Bob Menendez showed incredible courage to speak out and call out President Obama for the damage that his policy is doing to our national security … the Justice Department announces they’re moving forward with the criminal prosecution,” Cruz said.

“It raises the suggestion to other Democrats that if you dare part from the Obama White House, that criminal prosecutions will be used potentially as a political weapon against you as well,” he added.

Menendez has been a vocal critic of the White House as the Obama administration has sought to wrap up delicate talks with Iranian leaders over the future of their nuclear program.

The issue came to a head on Capitol Hill last week when Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebuked the Obama administration in front of Congress for its strategy on Iran.

On Friday, news broke that the Justice Department was preparing to bring criminal charges against Menendez.

“The timing is curious,” Cruz continued. “This investigation has been going on for over a year and yet the very week they announce a pending indictment comes within hours after Sen. Menendez showing courage to speak out against President Obama’s dangerous foreign policy that is risking the national security of this country.”

If you wish to turn a blind eye to the current administration, so be it.

 

[Dave007inVegas]

Anyone would certainly question the timing of the Menendez case. He hasn’t been officially charged yet, so maybe this is a shot across the bow so to speak. A message that says don’t fuck with the emperor. Kiss the ring and keep your mouth shut and we’ll let you slide. The coming week weeks will tell the tale.

And what is Menendez going to do? I’ll bet he heeds the warning.
