WNBC investigative reporter, Jonathan Dienst, is investigating Menendez's widespread corrupt activities (not in NJ but in the Third World). Dienst did the towering investigation of NJ Sen Robert Torricelli which forced the crook out of office which aired in a 45-minute long segment on broadcast TV.

Dienst himself has said "....the investigation of Senator Torricelli’s alleged corruption was an extraordinary exercise in journalism; going out and spending about six months on that story working almost non-stop digging and digging, trying to find corroboration to allegations that the senator had an improper relationship with a convicted felon. So we were out meeting with merchants, meeting with defense lawyers, meeting with investigators, members of Congress, and meeting with anyone who might have information about the senator’s alleged wrong doing."

"We obtained documents, tapes and materials and it was at a very important time. The election was coming up, the balance of power weighed in the balance and the fact that we were able to show and highlight some of the senator’s activities so that the voters knew. That was an incredible story to be a part of."

POLITICO'S KEVIN CIRILLI reported 3/6/13 that Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) said it isn’t necessary for him to return to the Dominican Republic after a judge there looking into prostitution allegations indicated that he wants to hear from the New Jersey Democrat or a representative on his behalf.

“We’ll have our lawyer look at it, but the bottom line is they don’t need me to pursue all of the interests and issues that lie within the Dominican Republic,” Menendez told The New Jersey Star-Ledger. “I don’t know what I could tell them that would change anything.”

Menendez has been mired in controversy amid claims that he visited with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic while staying with Salomon Melgen, a Florida doctor and campaign donor. Menendez has denied the allegations.

Menendez has maintained all along that he never paid prostitutes for sex, said he is looking forward to whatever evidence emerges from courts in the Dominican Republic to vindicate him.

HERE'S A FEW SUGGESTIONS:

<><> check out Menendez’s Senatorial “earmarks;”

<><> Keep track of transfers from financial accounts held by his lobbying gal-pal;

<><> any billion dollar Senate appropriations to the Dominican Republic earmarked “for the children?”

<><> has Obama dropped several hundred billion tax dollars on the DR as a token of his gratitude for saving Menendez (avoiding the dreaded Christie appointment)?

<><> the kiddie/prostie denial deal could involve a chunk of Menendez/Melgen's port “security” action—--(big bucks from drug cartels to smuggle drugs in Dominican port cargo?).
