Folks, stop and remember the circumstances of WHY Menendez got prosecuted in the first place.
You do remember, right?
How he dared oppose obama -- I think it was something about Cuba?
And... how not long afterwards... he was indicted.
The "just-us" department you mock above (run by the obammunists) would NEVER have touched Menendez, so long as he had "toed the line" for the great imposter.
But Menendez went off the reservation. And so... he had to pay.
The current administration really doesn't care about that falling out.
They're weighing the case (and their chances) on reality.
And that's why they let 'im go...
Aside:
I'm sometimes surprised about the short memories 'round here!
