As if the entire upper echelon of the U. S. government – essentially a for-profit corporation front for other mega corporations – isn’t so patently stinking corrupt the filthy, putrid reek of it probably extends into outer space, now this.
News is breaking that New Jersey Dem. Senator Menendez is going to be charged with corruption. CNN is reporting the following:
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.
Investigators have focused in part on plane trips Menendez took in 2010 to the Dominican Republic as a guest of Melgen. In 2013, after word of the federal investigation became public, Menendez paid back Melgen $58,000 for the 2010 plane trips calling his failure to properly disclose the flights an ‘oversight.’
And, of course:
Menendez has denied any wrongdoing in his ties to Melgen.
