Liz, excellent analysis. I see nothing gets by you. I hope you're in a position to do something about it. It's like the Sandy ("classified papers down his pants") Berger fiasco. You just cant believe the criminality of these people but, worse, that the justice system doesn't come crashing down on their heads. It is maddening. From what I can tell with McGay and Merger they both should be tried as traitors- never mind their sexual proclivities!

Another question posed by the McGreevey-Cipel caper is who in Washington facilitated Cipel's adventures in the Nation's Capitol. The facts are gleaned from McG's own words, in his book.

US Sen Bob Menendez (D-NJ), gets lots of friendly mentions in McG's book. Course, Menendez--- the Democratic Senate candidate in the upcoming November election---would rather not be reminded of the closeness he and McG enjoyed.

Menendez has slime problems of his own, and won't appreciate the voters being reminded about the close political alliance he and slimeball McGreevey forged.

Which brings up Golan Cipel. Now, someone had to facilitate Golan's Glorious Adventures--- particularly the high-level Washington, DC HomeLandSec meeting attended by Pres GWB, where the little snoop Cipel showed up, even though Cipel was not invited, nor was he listed as the official NJ HomeLand rep.

It would be really, really interesting to know whether McGreevey's close friend, Bob Menendez (then a Congressman), facilitated any of Golan Cipel's activities.

It would be interesting to know the degree to which then-Cong Menendez's Congressional office aided and abetted Cipel's travels around the Nation's Capitol---to the Pentagon and the Dept of Defense, maybe?

Sen Menendez should be asked whether he had firsthand knowledge of Cipel's interest in US intelligence, and whether he has knowledge of Cipel being given access to US classified intel.
