"And I am not going anywhere."

Says Senator Menendez, as if it's Act I of "Dreamgirls," but it's not.

Here is a riddle for you.

Our govts are stacked to the gills with lawyers in appointed and elective offices yet we seem to have a hard time writing clear, concise laws that can be interpreted easily & fairly and equitably enforced and quickly prosecuted...i.e. immigration, election law, Obamacare, and now the rules on using govt email. Why is that?

let the proggtarded war begin

Is this for corruption (and yes, he most likely is corrupt on a number of levels) or is it payback for not going along with President Awesome on the Iran sellout?

John Henry

Hagar said...

Off topic, perhaps, but where did Jon Corzine go off to?

Hagar said...

And I think that if Hillary!'s e-mails go clear up to the Supreme Court, President Obama and Eric Holder (or Loretta Lynch) will say, "OK. Justice Roberts has made his decision, now let him enforce it!"

Hagar said...

She is all they have, and they are not going to let her go down, regardless of any other considerations whatever.

Bob Boyd said...

Hillary may be too big to fail. She could get a bail out.

Menendez, on the other hand, is just about exactly the right size.

It's not what it appears (Belmont Club)

It's about Iran.

When will they go after the Clintons?

PB said...

The White House is behind most of the news happening this week and last, mostly as a way of introducing a new shiny object to distract from the damage it's doing at home and around the world.

1. The WH leaked the Clinton foundation donations.
2. The WH fed the NY Times the story about Hillary's emails (you think they did original reportng?)
3. The WH leaked the ATF ban on AR-15 ammo.
4. The WH has been leaking all sorts of fear inducing items prior to the DHS funding vote.

et cetera, et cetera, ad nauseum.

Did you miss the e-mail story? Or the foreign government donations? It's already begun. Hillary's on the way out, as soon as they find a plausible alternative.

Mark O said...

The DOJ employee who leaked this should go to jail.

David said...

Not voluntarily.

Muslims have no mercy. It is a foreign concept to them. Menedez felt he was safe in the fold of standard Dems doing favors for the rich donors like they all do. But he was immediately thrown to the prosecutors without cover for daring to oppose Iran's agent in the White House.


I predict that in the end Menendez comes out of this more than a winner for what he did for Abraham's Tribe when it mattered.

No, she's not. They have far greater demagogues than Hillary. Elizabeth W. is playing hard to get. Charles Krauthammer said tonight that if Warren got in the race, with in a couple of weeks she would lead Hillary in the polls. I think he's right.

And if you think Warren can't be elected, think again. Particularly if the economy stays poor. If there's war in the Middle East, it won't be her.

But it's not going to be Hillary. She is acting like a deer in the headlights, and the American people will run over frightened fawns who run for president. Even Democrats, and even Hillary.

traditionalguy said...

Warren is well able to beat Hillary. Warren has a top level personality and speaking skills. Conservatives should fear her message which communicates to the blue collar Dems and to women and to liberals fighting for reform of Wall Street and the Big Banks.

eddie willers said...

Warren has as much chance as William Jennings Bryan.

Paul said...

"Warren has a top level personality and speaking skills."

I'm struggling to imagine the kind of defective intellect that produces such a statement.

Smilin' Jack said...

Our tax dollars, which could have been used to cure cancer or something, have instead been used to build a case that a Democrat senator from New Jersey is crooked.

This is what democracy looks like.

Brown Hornet said...

"Warren has a top level personality and speaking skills."

She committed way too many gaffes during the 2012 campaign for a person with "top level speaking skills". She benefitted tremendously from a friendly press corps that handled her with kid gloves.

wendybar said...

This story is so old. It's been around for at least 5 years....and all of a sudden, NOW the DOJ is going after him?? hmmmmmm....couldn't be because he is not towing the Obama line?? Could it???

campy said...

Warren can beat any repub. Hell, the dems could put up a ticket of Martha Coakley & Wendy Davis and beat any repub.

Hagar said...

Of course there are Democrats who could and would be president. But at present, making noises about what you would do as president will at best be treated as insubordination in the ranks by either Clinton Inc. or the MSM-Obamaite combine. It is a daunting prospect for a newcomer.

Hagar said...

Clinton Inc. and the Obama White House are both scorched earth operations. They are not concerned about anything but themselves and do not much care what comes next.

Big Mike said...

This is not so much targeted at Senator Menendez as against any other Democrat in Congress who is thinking of jumping ship and serving the will of their constituents instead of their party and its overseer. My own senators, Kaine and Warner, might be looking at a reddening state map and thinking of their voters, so the action against Menendez is a warning to them of the potential consequences.

SteveM said...

What has Menendez allegedly done via-a-vis his friend that Hillary has not also done on a larger scale for donors to the Clinton Foundation?

pm317 said...

Hillary email: squirrel.. Apparently what she did is legal and the law was changed in 2014 to make it illegal. Apparently Benghazi select committee knew about this in 2014 and Obama WH was given notice of this in 2014. So why did Obama lefties/Jarrett leak it during the same week Netanyahu's speech? hmmmm.. squirrel; yummmm.. squirrel.

About Menendez, it is again the handiwork of Obama WH to stop Dem rats from jumping Obama ship and backing up on the Menendez legislation about Iran deal which gives Congress oversight into what Obama WH is doing with the deal.

Come on people, get smarter.

pm317 said...

Hey Big Mike, the smarter one! :)

My congress critters are Ben Cardin and Van Hollen. They are unfortunately safe.
