Bob Menendez is a Democrat and therefore usually has immunity from prosecution or even penalties for crimes that would put the average person in hot water and a Republican in prison for life without parole.
Nevertheless, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez could (operative word COULD) end up having to resign “to spend more time with his family” as Democrats who have been caught red handed often do.
Menendez is the embodiment of what makes New Jersey the most corrupt state in America. He was taught the ways of corruption by the Hudson County crime machine. He learned the “pay for play”, contribution shakedown for promotions rackets as he worked his way up the ladder from soldier to captain to Capo. Follow his financial disclosure forms over the years, trace the “meteoric” rise of the civil servants who donated...

if he were a republican, just the accusation itself carried by the msm would have brought him down already
There I finished it.
I also wrote when he story about the teenage prostitutes broke that it seems that somebody in the GOP is finally learning how to play hardball. The story about Menendez had been floating around since last summer. If the Daily Caller had published it, say..last Sept, NJ Dems would have dusted off the Toricelli playbook, forced Menendez to drop out, named a replacement, and got him elected. No big deal.
But by waiting until AFTER the election to push the story, the senate seat is now very much in play..
A father walks into a restaurant with his young son. He gives the young boy 3 nickels to play with to keep him occupied. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the nickels and starts slapping him on the back. The boy coughs up 2 of the nickels, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help.
A well-dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman in a blue business suit is sitting at the coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant. Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy’s testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing the boy’s testicles, the woman hands the nickel to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word.
As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, “I’ve never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor? “ “No,” the woman replied, “I’m with the Internal Revenue Service.”
