<i>Feds Preparing Criminal Corruption Charges Against Democratic Senator Bob Menendez</i>

Feds Preparing Criminal Corruption Charges Against Democratic Senator Bob Menendez

You may remember that Menendez took flights on a wealthy doctor's plane, often down to the Dominican Republican, and did not reimburse that doctor (that is, he took the flights as illegal gifts).

Reportedly he will be facing charges for working political favors in exchange for gifts.

People briefed on the case say Attorney General Eric Holder has signed off on prosecutors' request to proceed with charges, CNN has learned exclusively. An announcement could come within weeks. Prosecutors are under pressure in part because of the statute of limitation on some of the allegations.
The case could pose a high-profile test of the Justice Department's ability to prosecute sitting lawmakers, having already spawned a legal battle over whether key evidence the government has gathered is protected by the Constitution's Speech and Debate clause.
The FBI and prosecutors from the Justice Department's public integrity section, have pursued a variety of allegations against Menendez, who has called the probe part of "smear campaign" against him.
The government's case centers on Menendez's relationship with Salomon Melgen, a Florida ophthalmologist who the senator has called a friend and political supporter. Melgen and his family have been generous donors to the senator and various committees the senator is associated with.
...
Menendez advocated on Melgen's behalf with federal Medicare administrators who accused Melgen of overbilling the government's healthcare program, according to court documents and people briefed on the probe. Melgen was among the top recipients of Medicare reimbursements in recent years, during a time when he was also a major Democratic donor. Melgen's attorneys have denied any wrongdoing.

Menendez also used US government pressure to lobby the Dominican Republic to give Melgen a huge contract for a port's cargo screening equipment. Why an opthamalogist is in the Port Screening Equipment Business I don't know.

One part of this story remains, I think, well debunked: The "underaged prostitutes" who accused Menendez may have been put up to it by other business interests (maybe other people in the apparently lucrative Port Screening Equipment industry).

Menendez has been the target of a federal grand jury since 2013.

I don't think the Conspiracy Angle makes sense, though I did wonder about it, but yes, if you're wondering, that's right, you do remember Menendez taking a high profile position against Barack Obama's Iran deal.

The Did-Obama-Do-This-For-Iran game is big this week. We talked about it on the podcast.

Yeah.

Manendez is co-sponsoring legislation to give congress oversight of the Iran deal. His plane trips weren't a problem for the few years they've been public, then after his legislation starts gaining legs they are?

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/06/us/debate-on-a-jewish-student-at-ucla.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0

Very good article, by NY Times standards, about the pervasive anti-Semitism at UCLA and other campuses.

Also: super-duper hot.

I have a suspicion that in addition to the anti-Semitism, the female student senators were jealous of her and voted against her out of mean-girl spite.

Twitter didn't allow me to say this in long enough form but:

I don't think this has as much to do with "Anti-Semitism" per se as much at it has to do with not walking lock step with the group.

Now I'm not saying "she's a conservative" (indeed, for all I know she's a flaming liberal) I'm saying she has a external moral authority (i.e. her religion) which the students were afraid might make her a dissenter on things, and we can't have dissent in college. It'd be too hard on the students.

The Anti-Semitism comes in because it allows them to ask that question of her (as opposed to say "Mohammed Smith")

103 I think the conspiracy theory has merit. The personal and financial burden for defending oneself' from legal charges for even petty crimes can be so drawn out that the individual essentially becomes the pwned bitch of his royal highness and his court of sycophants.

Consider how long it took to settle the Petreus case. He could never contradict the Commander in Chief regarding strategy against terrorist so long as his investigation was still open. It conveniently ended after the election. (Not withstanding that he was an idiot for putting himself in that position, the country must suffer for it.)

Even in cases where the legal prosecution sword isn't raised, someone else may hold the weapon for one's own suicide (figuratively or literally).

Consider Hilary being pwned by the Chinese or the Russians (or both).

No -- she's probably pro-Israel, and that was the not-so-secret reason they voted against her -- it is assumed now on campuses that all jews are traitors (to the Leftist narrative) unless they publicly denounce Israel.

It's really no different than what happened in the early Soviet Union and early Nazi Germany -- the presumption that Judaism itself is proof of "dual loyalties" and thus treason.

198 That plane Ford was piloting looks pre-WWII; monoplanes with suspension towers kinda went out in the '30s.

I don't know if it's gutsy or something else to be flying that old bucket around anything but 50 acres of rice paddies.

Wackypedia tells me it's probably a Ryan 22, from 1941. I suppose just about everything's been replaced from the original to meet flight certs, but man, that's an old crate.

There are so many laws on the books regarding politicians and bureaucrats that if anyone REALLY enforced them all, our entire political class would be in jail.

Rangel never got criminally charged for the same thing.

So why go after menendez now?

I'll say this about Menendez. For him to go against SCOAMF on Cuba and especially Bibi/Iran in such a public and strident manner, with a criminal investigation pending and a vindictive sick tyrant as president, he's got guts.

I'll go one step further; he's got more guts and principles than McChinless and Agent Orange.

301 OT, but that sidebar story about Harrison Ford's wreck kind of picks my ass. "Hero Pilot"? Uh, no, pilots are trained to try to find open space for a forced landing. Just doing what comes naturally, and it's self-preservation to boot. He is lucky there was open space that he could reach.

And, no he did not "plunge" 3000 feet. "Plunge" connotes a straight-down, uncontrolled fall, like the ever-popular "bus plunge" meme, where a bus goes through the guard rail and plunges into a canyon. Ford made a dead-stick landing, but he was in control of that aircraft. And if the dam-fool golf course hadn't over-watered their fairways, and made the ground so soft that the landing gear plowed furrows, chances are the plane would have rolled to a stop with both itself and the pilot intact.

I'm not dissing Ford here. He did the best he could, that any pilot could, under the circumstances. Ragging on the bone-stupid MSM.

309 Nearly 300 comments in, and I doubt it matters anymore, but I am curious as to why Ace is so quick to dismiss the underaged prostitutes thing.

This is the way this works, and I don't care if some of you can't live this way, I'm just telling you, this is now this works:

If life was a courtroom, you might be able to dismiss it, but it's not. The way life REALLY works is that you ask the other question, which is, why in the world would we believe a powerful U.S. Senator who has been accused of boinking underaged girls, over the word of the underaged girls?

The answer is, of COURSE we wouldn't, because as a whole, Senators are much less honorable and trustworthy than whores. Furthermore, wretched middle aged men with no sense of right and wrong are having sex with underaged girls, as a rule. Not as an exception, as a rule. If they are rich and powerful enough, that is. And of course, this guy is.

Case closed.

348 An LIV History Lesson

The Battle of the Alamo

A long time ago, in 1492, Santana led a band of Mexicans to San Antonio and they took over a building. Sam Houston and Davy Crockett and David Bowie and Kit Carson were all there and they had a big gunfight. Then General Custer appeared and the Americans won the gunfight. The Mexicans all ran away but Santana lost his wooden leg while they were running away.

Then, the Americans all waved Santana's wooden leg around and yelled "Remember the Alamo!"

The Alamo was the name of the building.

Today, a rental-car company is named in its honor, and a Paul Reed Smith Guitar is named in Santana's honor.

The End.

This has been today's LIV history lesson.

I had read somewhere that you could put every person in the world in Texas on a 5 sq ft plot.

That actually brings home to me just how many people there are in the world.

I think it was P.J. O'Rourke who said back in around '95 that you could fit the population of the world into Yugoslavia, assuming the population density of Manhattan. And given most New Yorkers, Yugoslavia is what they would deserve. Or something like that.

395 first off, the "golf" games are a goof.

He's parodying all the past WHITE Presidents and all the golf they did.

I don't know what he actually does out there but he's not a golfer and when he leaves office, you won't see him on a golf course again except by invitation for a fund raiser or something.

Part of his schtick is getting in the faces of all the WHITE people especially those who have/are celebrities and mocking and besmirching everything they did.

it's like when a kid dresses up in daddy or mommy's clothes. they think the clothes make them adults. He's doing that but it's close. If smoking wasn't banned awhile back, he'd be getting pictures taken of him smoking big cigars. I'm surprised he hasn't been showcased on a sailboat, that's always been a popular photo op. (Blacks and swimming? I denounce myself)

He's conducting this Presidency like he imagines other have before him. It's all a pose.

He's the ultimate Poseur.

Great point. I've often wondered if there is any evidence he ever played golf before becoming President. During the 2007-08 campaign I never once heard it mentioned that he was an avid golfer.
