Repubs could scoop up yet another seat b/c shady Democrat---NJ Sen Menendez--- is under investigation for a host of corrupt activities. Menendez is being bird-dogged by ace WNBC-TV reporter Jonathan Dienst who uncovered dirt that drove NJ's corrupt Torricelli out of office. The FBI is also involved.
NJ Repub Gov Christie could appoint a Repub to Menendez's seat----although some don't trust him. Appointing a Repub would do wonders for his presidential ambitions.
Sen Menendez crassly used tax-paid US govt resources, govt authority, and his privileged Senatorial position, to convene a special hearing on a port deal in the Dominican Republic ---a parasitic latino country which depends on the billions its illegal citizens here bilk from US taxpayers.
Menendez was the only Senator present at the port deal hearing but the hearing had the full force of the US govt.
Self-serving Menendez---advocating for his donor/pal Melgen---dragged US officials up to the Hill for questioning---pressuring US officials about why the Dominican port deal had not gone through.
The Times quotes Menendez at the hearing: "You have another company (Melgen's deal) that has 'American investors' that is seeking to - has a contract actually given to it by the - kind of ratified by the Dominican Congress----to do X-ray of all of the cargo that goes through the ports, which have been problematic and for which in the past narcotics have been included in those cargo," the senator said.
Menendez later reinforced his authority by phoning US officials at the Depts of State and Commerce on behalf of a large campaign donor--Melgen.
