It's the Chicago way, Bob.

Don't believe me? Just ask Valarie Jarrett.

“The timing is curious,” Cruz continued

Always the gentleman Senator from TExAs.

NOT probing Menendez previously was also politically motivated.

I agree; I don’t know much about Menendez except on Iran and Cuba he’s right. These people say all this other stuff but perhaps they’ve been trying to tar him from long ago. And listening to him speak, he is right on Cuba and he may well survive this.

Menendez still backed off the Iran deal for 2 months while Zero and his team worked on it. No word from him on an even worse deal after he stood down.

Pathetic

Man up Menendez.

No Democrat will return the favor when Cruz is unfairly attacked.

Not even Menendez.

Yes, it can be used for blackmail, and if the subject still doesn’t play ball, then you blow him up with it.

This is what they did with Petraeus, blackmailed him until he opposed them on Benghazi, then they blew him up with it.

Of course it’s politically motivated, clearly so. This is a
direct Bitch Slap to Menendez for ‘mouthing off’ about Obama’s lousy, stupid, dangerous Iran policy in the making.
Obola is reminding me of other world leaders moreso everyday. Leaders such as Mugabe, Idi Amin and Kim Jun Un for three examples. Petty, plastic and thin-skinned.

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.

Yeah. They started the investigation a week ago and are ready to indict now. Sure.

In this instance, I think Ted Cruz is flashing his Hispanic Brethren Card vs his Republican Card.

This would be to the regime’s mind, treason. No dissent is allowed when it comes to fascists.

Menendez broke the cardinal rule, he got out of step.

Of course it is politically motivated. Everything from this White House is politically motivated.
Menendez is a Democrat.
Democrats don’t get prosecuted unless they cross the regime.
Menendez crossed them.

He is a Jersey politician, which may be the only type that could beat a Chicago pol.

He happens to be right about Iran and Cuba, but I still bet he has been taking bribes. The only reason he’s being prosecuted is because he publicly disagreed with Dear Reader.

I don’t think so. Menendez was vociferous against this Iranian deal, and Cruz is dead set against it as well.

You take support where you find it.

Thank you.. I’ve been needing a Cruz fix desperately.
