According to this story the Department of Injustice is preparing to file criminal corruption charges against Democratic Senator Bob Menendez and Eric Holder has already signed off on it.
Here is more:
The Justice Department is preparing to bring criminal corruption charges against New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, a Democrat, alleging he used his Senate office to push the business interests of a Democratic donor and friend in exchange for gifts.
People briefed on the case say Attorney General Eric Holder has signed off on prosecutors’ request to proceed with charges, CNN has learned exclusively. An announcement could come within weeks.
I have to admit when I read this story I was stunned that Eric Holder would decide to go after anybody in the Democratic party–something did not seem right. After all Harry Reid’s son stands to benefit from land deals and the Department of Injustice did not blink an eye. And Dianne Feinstein’s husband has made a fortune in what seems to be a conflict of interest. Again, nothing from the Department of Injustice.
So why Bob Menendez and why now?
Then the conspiracy theory popped up: Bob Menendez has publicly opposed Barack Obama on Cuba and on Iran and just last week he filed legislation which would require Congressional approval on any agreement the President comes to with Iran.
Could this possibly be payback for his public opposition? I do not know the answer to the question, perhaps the evidence against Bob Menendez is simply too great to ignore, however I would not rule it out or put it passed Barack Obama or Eric Holder.
In the end I do not feel sorry for Bob Menendez because it certainly seems as if he was engaged in some, shall we say, questionable activities but it certainly looks as though he did not do himself any favors by opposing the President…
