They could have uncovered all of this BEFORE the election, but if you ask Holder’s just us department or the MSM why they didn’t they’ll say: “Because F U America.!”

I just got a hunch.

What if the Republicans finally started playing a little hardball, and THAT'S what this is???

If so, kudos and about damned time.

About as much as Krispy Kreme Christie going from a size 50 waist to a size 36 waist.
Like all good NJ senators, Menendez is just following the path of his esteemed predecessor Torch Torricelli...

Truth be told about Menendez. Guy was a petty Hudson county corrupt thief long before he went to Washington. Being Hispanic and Democrat gave him much protection in New Jersey.

The only reason we’re hearing this is because Obama want Menendez’s seat for a crony.

But it is fun watch Progressives attacking each other.

What difference does it make?"

But by Tuesday night FBI agents had raided Dr. Salomon Melgen’s Florida business. By Wednesday morning, questions around Menendez’s involvement were swirling.

It occurs to me that if the FBI kept news of the investigation quiet until after the election then the raid of the doctor's office is probably to hide records rather than disclose them.

I hope you are right. The GOP need to systematically remove the liberal dems from their seats of power. Small and focused teams, each picking a target and chipping away at it. I am sure the GOP has no stomach for that. I loved what Breitbart and O’Keefe did. We need more of that.

corzine was also a senator from the Garden state. Looking farther back we have another illustrious dem NJ Senator Harrison Williams caught up in Abscam.

and who can forget the 60’s life expose on NJ dem congressman Gallagher who life alleged had to have a body removed from his basement.

Nah, this will get buried by the MSM. After all there is a Republican whom didn’t make a complete stop at a Stop sign somewhere. They will run with that for a week.

We’d pick it up right away if Menendez resigned and Christie appointed Republican to fill the spot until the next regularly scheduled state election, which is 2013 I believe.

Scott Brown picked up Kennedy’s seat in MA in a special election. But that only lasted a couple of years. Fauxahontas beat him last Nov.

In an off year election and a Democrat resigning in disgrace, a Republican in NJ would have about the best shot possible to win in that blue state.
