If a mob-connected criminal is willing to vouch for him he must be OK.

Yes, and Mob connections have their own way of dealing with treachery.

They have never liked Commies much from what I have been told.

Have known a few of them in business. At arms length with my eyes open, but they don’t like theft from their operation.

These CREEPS would claim innocence even if we had an actual video of them caught "in the act."

Harry Reid is as trustworthy as the Muslim Brotherhood.

Near as I can tell, Menendez done flunked ‘Human Being’.

He didn’t do anything wrong in that country.

It’s absurd that our laws are extended to other jurisdictions because a thing that is illegal here but, legal there, is a punishable offense never the less.

I absolutely don’t condone what he is alleged to have done and if he did it here he ought to be jailed ferEvuh.

I guess if you can get away with rape, sexual harassment of an intern, adultery, running a homosexual brothel out of your townhouse or leaving a young woman for dead in your underwater Oldsmobile, what's a little pedophilia in a poor Caribbean country?

Give Menendez credit, he did fulfill his role in foreign relations. That Reid cannot see the immorality in paying to have sex with a child tells you all you need to know about Dirty Harry.

Now, why am I not surprised Harry Reid considers pedophilia “nothing wrong”.... Maybe there was indeed something to that “Harry-is-a-pedophile” campaign last year. Creepy old bastard..

Harry Reid expresses ‘confidence that no one will ever be able TO FIND EVIDENCE that Menendez did anything wrong’.

There, fixed it.

Reid comes to Menendez’s defense in exchange for Menendez’s little black book.

“He didn’t do anything wrong in that country.”

I think that even there, there is an “age of consent” and my guess is that menendez went there to get some pedophilia on. His supporters will be paying off a ton of young girls and their families.

Given the amount of drug trafficking and attendant police corruption that comes out of the Dominican Republic I wonder how a freakin’ eye doctor from Miami got involved with a security company that scans cargo containers from the DR port? I’m not suggesting anything untoward but in light of the slew of other allegations which have been raised concerning Menendez and his friend nothing at this point would surprise me.

It is a crime in the USA to travel to another Country for the purpose of having sex with a Minor.
There are People in jail right now for even attempting to do so.

When you have an adoring media complex you can do this and get away with it.
