Did not know the story behind Menendez.
“Did not know the story behind Menendez.”
Neither did I until I googled it. Politico has a piece that the following is taken from:
“Menendez has suggested that Cuban intelligence agents were behind a plot to smear him over his opposition to former President Barack Obama’s call to open up U.S. relations with Cuba. There was another version of this defense argument that suggested Obama administration officials wanted to retaliate against Menendez because he opposed them on Cuba and the Iran nuclear deal. Republican donors, as well as supporters of Israel, were sympathetic to this argument, and Menendez raised millions of dollars for his legal defense fund.”
The MO sounds suspiciously familiar.
“Did not know the story behind Menendez.”
I did, a long time ago, but had forgotten it.
There was a fair amount of discussion here at FR when he stood up to Obama.
