I'll gloss over obvious "War on Women" angle of the Democrat using underage prostitutes fro his own pleasure, and instead notice how quickly Menendez "remembered" he owed his buddy $60k for use of his private plane:
“Wonderful things, subpoenas,” Wilford Brimley said in Absence of Malice, after the threat of one broke the silence of conspirators in the film’s climax. We can add FBI raids to that list of wonderful catalysts. After discovering that the FBI had raided the offices of his frequent travel companion and campaign donor Salomon Melgen, Senator Bob Menendez suddenly remembered that he owed nearly $60,000 to Melgen for private-jet flights to the Dominican Republic:
Embattled Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez said through a spokesman Wednesday that trips he took on the private jet of a major political donor “have been paid for and reported appropriately.” But that may not have been accurate until shortly before the statement went out to media: WNBC-TV4 in New York City reported Wednesday that Menendez recently wrote a $58,500 check to the jet’s owner, Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen.
“Senator Menendez has traveled on Dr. Melgen’s plane on three occasions, all of which have been paid for and reported appropriately,” the statement said.
Menendez’s chief of staff, Dan O’Brien, told NBC that it took the senator three years to pay his private airfare because of an office mistake.
“This was sloppy,” O’Brien conceded about two 2010 flights. “I’m chalking it up to an oversight.”
“Sloppy”? That’s hardly credible. Senators have staff members that watch for those kinds of expenditures. Three private jet flights to the Dominican Republic completely escaped their notice until the FBI raided Melgen’s offices? Riiiiiiiiiight.
If Bob had any iota of self-respect, he'd quit tomorrow.
I'm not holding my breath.
