CNN: Feds prepare criminal corruption charges against Senator Bob Menendez

washunut said:
Interesting timing. Lets remember that Menendez is a supporter of increased sanctions on Iran and seems to be against the Kerry/Obama deal. This may be a reminder to dems that they better not get out of line with the white house.

Doesn't anyone wonder why now? What did Menendez do to draw the wrath?

Jeez, everyone is asking that. It seems that nobody believes that this was just the DoJ going after Menendez because he was, you know, breaking the law. The assumption is that it had to be some other reason. I think that says a lot.
 
I think the timing is revenge against upcoming investigation that proves Obama was the 2nd shooter in the JFK assassination. :cool:

Talk about a Kobayashi Maru, can't win scenario. If Obama/the DOJ didn't bring charges it would be because they would be covering for Mendenez. If they bring charges it's because they're out to get Mendenez.

ODS on steroids.

I didn't think the Holder Justice Department would ever go after a fellow Democrat. Certainly not a sitting senator, anyway.

On the other hand, let's see if they actually file the charges.

Surely you jest ... Menendez has lately been vocal about Obama vis-a-vis Israel.
Whatever his motivation, he's been vocal lately.
And you know how well Obama reacts to criticism of any kind.
The Menendez story is over 2 years old and the trips to the Dominican Republic were rumored to be more than what the article talked about.

Well not just lately B.....going back to 2012 and after the Iranians missed the First deadline. Do you think BO got tired of hearing it?

True enough.
All that corruption & morals stuff is one thing as long as you stay on the reservation, but criticism ... uh uh ... that's one thing up with which Obama will not put.

Greetings, bubba. :2wave:

I hope these stories aren't true. I was somewhat relieved to read that the girl in the story was nearly 17 years old at the time these parties were taking place, (not that it changes anything), but they weren't seven years old or younger, which seems to be the case of the mass sham "weddings" that take place in parts of the ME between grown men and very young girls who are sold by their parents! That is definitely wrong, and "weddings" don't excuse the perversion!

Also, it just seems odd that anyone who has spoken out against Obama's actions become targets to smear, even when it's a member of his own party!

What, are you kidding me??? This has NOTHING to do with justice, that slimy ahole Holder is the AG for crying out loud. This has all to do with Menedez opposition to Obama's 'give Iran a nuke' policy and his support for Israel and Bibi. Obama already has control of his media, now he needs to control the last of the rank and file.

I don't understand why you think Holder wouldn't do his job as the chief law enforcer? Would you expect a Republican to only prosecute Democrats?
Click to expand...

Holder would never do his job against a fellow Democrat. However in this case Robert Menendez goes against Obama's foreign policies. Thus he became one of Obama's targets to go after.

Ya know what's not odd, but should be, is that a DP member on this very thread essentially portrayed Holder as the noblest of public servants and that no one should be surprised his DOJ may bring charges.
That in and of itself is pretty bizarre but objectivity alone requires mention of the current friction between Obama & Menendez ... that mention wasn't there.

The plane trips I get, but the rest of it is a slippery slope. In an alternate scenario, if a Senator from Washington or Illinois advocates for something that benefits Boeing and someone at Boeing makes a big donation, is that really corruption? Shouldn't representatives actually be able to advocate for the businesses in their district/state and those businesses be able to support the people who support them?
Click to expand...

I think, yes and no. Is that really corruption? Well, yes. But it's also called politics. That's the way they roll these days. There is a very thin, almost invisible, line between politics and organized crime. One side evades the laws, one side makes them.

How ironic!

A defender of Obama complaining that Prime Minister Netanyahu has lied!

"If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period!"

Seems I heard that somewhere along with a long, long list of lies. Throwing rocks from a glass house...my, my.

A defender of Obama - Nah, not really. Bibi has a track record on B**** about Iran & being nuke ready going back decades.
Both are not relevant.
The deal is the point.
I have always stated long term and intrusive inspections.

Forced agreement is not agreement. The ME can engulf the entire globe and cannot be considered a distraction. It's a significant element in reaching a greater peace, and as we've seen, an element that cannot be denied. The current leader of Israel will make no difference in the long run. Yes, Bibi is agressive in establishing a secure state, but the next leader will inevitably be the same if a bad agreement is forced. The ME solution doesn't exist. There will be no solution, only a tempering of hostilities. Rather than becoming embroiled in the day to day fist fights, we should stand outside, willing to place our weight on the side of the more righteous at the time. That's the best we can hope for. This is not acquiescence. It's an admission of reality.

For any Israeli -Palestinian peace deal, Lebanon, Hezbollah in particular and Hamas have to be neutralized- And as Iran is their supplier they play a part - Forced by sanctions is still forced.

I wouldn't consider it corruption unless it involves the politician doing something they otherwise would not have done in due course.
 
Has New Jersey ever managed to produce a non-corrupt politician?

Oh like "inspections" have worked before.

Time to get real, Obama's ideas have all been tried, there is no negotiating with Iran, they will not obey the rules and they cannot ever be trusted for their word.

But claiming Bibi is lying in the face of thousands, thousands of lies after lies after bull**** after more lies is so ****ing lame as to be laughable. FFS you guys are so ****ing rattled by Netanyahu you are now claiming a decorated war hero is a "coward".

That's beyond desperate. The Obama camp has lost all concept of right and wrong. When you try to throw and ally under a bus with false and misleading charges of lying and being a coward, that's when I stop listening. The Obama camp is so devoid of a moral compass they will eat their young for a headline....

I know I want Canada out of Iraq NOW. Not because I disagree with the war, but I do not want my country in any association with the United States while Obama is in power, his obvious incompetence will cost Canadian lives and we will ultimately be thrown under a bus like the slithering misfits who support this horrible waste of skin you chose for president. If a mere speech can result in this kind of bull****, then it's time for Canada and the world to walk away until you elect someone sane.

FFS, Israel is an ally. Who the **** is the enemy in Obama's world? It appears to be in this order 1) Republicans, 2) Israel, 3) Canada, and so on, while ISIS are really nice people who just need a little understanding and jobs....if you don't mind the screams of people burning alive, and piles of heads missing bodies.

Have fun with the bus.....it will get really ****ing lonely though as nations say "**** you"
