Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) facing potential legal issues

I'm glad there's finally a thread where we can discuss this!

I understand about the undeclared gifts. But, where is the underage prostiture thing coming from? Sounds like just rumor to make it salacious.

 

I meet the Senator over the summer at ALJBS, he seemed like a nice enough guy although I did detect that sense of "career politician" that I don't get from the governor. I'm not too surprised, politics is dirty, especially in NJ. I'd love to say I'm shocked, but I'm not. I'm used to this stuff, from both sides of the aisle, even though I think it's reprehensible.

 

Seems the focus isn't so much on the free flights and women, but Melgen's business dealings with the DR govt port authority and Menendez's position on the Foreign Relations committee that gives him some leverage to help Melgen's private security firm.
