Excellent. Make it a very public fight please.

Excellent. Make it a very public fight please.

While Menendez will probably feel the full weight of prosecutorial hell, and without passing judgement on his guilt or innocence, I predict that the Democrats will be very sorry they went after him...

Cat fight in paradise.

True.

Problem is that the DOJ went after Menendez after Menendez went after Obama's foreign policy.

[Bullish]

It’s hard to fathom but I’m rooting for Menendez because I’m firmly on the side of anyone who can bring this DOJ and white house down.

Depends on what the meaning of “anywhere” is.

This has Valjar’s fingerprints all over it.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I hope that’s true, a Jersey pol is probably what you need against one from Chicago.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Yup! Somebody is definitely out to get this guy. Wasn't he the one that was accused of molesting little girls in the Dominican Republic or somewhere a year or so ago?

Washington Barbie says, "Working in Washington can be tough." LOL!

Democrats are between a rock and a hard place. Force him out and Christie appoints a Republican to fill the seat, increasing the GOP margin in the Senate. Keep Melendez in there and have all the dirty laundry aired during an election year.

Hang tough, Bob. Don’t let them force you out - hehe.

In NJ, a US Senate vacancy is filled by governor appointment until the next general election.

Can't they both lose?

[InterceptPoint]

He should join the GOP. He’d hardly notice any difference.

[abishai]

I was wondering how he could be so bold against the Obamaites when he had that cloud hanging over him.

[Bullish]

Can't they both lose?

In a real world with a real justice system they would.

[blackdog]

I had no idea we had a DOJ working out of Tehran and Havana?

[txhurl]

She intends to destroy his reputation so any witness he bears against her will be ‘tainted’, in her opinion.

But we also have Judge Hanen’s issuance of arrest warrants over contempt of his injunction order.

Who knows? Menendez may have trapped the RATS with his underage hooker story. All I know is RATS all over are quivering, and that makes my heart glad.

[headstamp 2]

That’ll teach you to piss off Captain Midnight, Bobbie.

Menendez is guiltier than sin. Even in Washington and New Jersey, he's dirtier than most politicians.

That said, this investigation wrapped up two years ago. The file sat gathering dust in Holders in-box until Menendez got uppity.

I really have no idea what motivated Menendez to open his mouth in criticism, but the one thing you can be sure of is that it had nothing to do with honor.
