Wexler also had a very strange event in the past few months.Strange in that it happened while Obama was in Ghana and the Secret Service got involved. Very curious that now he is ‘resigning’.

The Sun Sentential reports Florida Congressman Robert Wexler Targeted in Identity Theft Extortion
Extortionist from Ghana threatened to turn over congressman’s Social Security number to thieves. Other members of Congress also said to be targeted.
The alleged extortionist has been arrested and remains in custody in Ghana.
Wexler, D-Boca Raton, refused reported the plot to the Secret Service and Capitol Police.
His attorney Pamela J. Marple, issued a statement:
“Congressman Wexler greatly appreciates the professionalism and ongoing assistance of the United States Secret Service and Capitol Police regarding a matter where he was targeted as a member of Congress and was the victim of crime involving extortion and attempted identity theft. This remains an ongoing legal matter that will be closely monitored.”
The Ghanaian telephoned Wexler this month while President Barack Obama was visiting Ghana, guarded by Secret Service agents. Wexler reported the matter to the Secret Service while they were in the country, which helped the investigation.”
Weird coincidences are usually not so weird after all. Wexler has got to be dirty.
Doesn’t his quitting put the dems below 60? And NY requires a special election to replace him. That will take some time.
