[Hoot Gibson]

The TWICERS are never going to step up about this matter or any other save it were to impact directly on the freebies they love so much. The one and only reason they come out to dog pile on Republicans is because Dems have told them time and again, that said Republicans stand in the way of those handouts. Which situation has created the ultimate irony here in the US. That being the fact that Dems are using the tax dollars of folks who sent Republicans to the Congress to buy the allegiance of the afore mentioned class of dependents in order to maintain the power necessary to thwart the political interests of conservatives. These dependents are a highly prized commodity among Dems, who will readily attack the integrity of any who would suggest that they should go to work for what they want and need. Be that Dr Ben Carson, the Tea Party, the Republicans, whoever. I mean, did not Nancy Pelosi get up on national television and rationalize the slothful as aspiring artists? :please:

Of course he has received daily emails from the Secretary, that was my first though when I heard our President say he first learned about the matter along with the rest of us.

As to Bob Menendez. Most of the time, as in the case when Harry Reid falsely accused Mitt Romney of not paying any taxes for an entire decade from the floor of the US Senate, Dems only slime their Republican counterparts. But, when Dems like Menendez dare to break ranks we see how they are subsequently treated. This deal with Iran will happen. The openly critical (of the Iran deal) Senator Menendez has a few temporary credibility issues to deal with right now. :eyeroll:

As for Bob Menendez, there is no doubt in my mind that he is a sleazeball, just as the Justice Department says he is. This is the same lowlife that had close and personal relationships with underaged girls in the Dominican Republic a few years ago. A Republican would have been crucified and forced to resign under the same circumstances.

My problem is that, as creepy as Menendez is, he was safe from prosecution for any crime until he criticized Obama. Given his background, you have to give Menendez some points for political courage. I would love to see Obama and Menendez become cell mates, but there are certainly much more corrupt politicians than Menendez in Congress whose careers are safe as long as they rubber stamp Obama's policies and continue to help cover up his crimes.
