Al Capone getting nailed for tax evasion——they will investigate his failure to report the trips and “gifts”, and let the underage Dominican prostitutes issue twist in the wind. It’s not being TOTALLY ignored though: yesterday’s
Bergen Record (NJ, where I live) devoted a lengthy article to Menendez’s relationship to this donor Doctor friend of his,but did include the obligatory 3 paragraphs at the end to the issue everyone is really interested in> As everyone knows the FBI has seized records from the Dr.’s office, and who knows whether that was just to deal with the first issue, or a fishing expedition with details that might support the both the first issue and the second.
I notice that Menendez isn’t hanging around public appearances for too long these days, but was present there at the Hillary farewell love-fest. Menendez has been a fixture in NJ for nearly as long as I’ve lived here (25+ years) and he embodies the classic loyal Ethnic Democrat, identity politics at its worst.
After all the FBI ‘seized’ the Solyndra records the day that scandal became public and we have never heard of them again.
