— Ace Yeah this is why you can't rely on prostitutes so much. Even here, one could object "Once the police pressured them of course they retracted their claims," and that's plausible too.
Of course, it's also always been plausible they were just paid to tell a lie.
An escort who appeared on a video claiming Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) paid her for sex has told Dominican Republic police that she was instead paid to make up the claims in a tape recording and has never met or seen the senator before, according to court documents and two people briefed on her claim.The woman identified a lawyer who approached her and a friend to make the videotape, according to affidavits obtained by the Post. That man has in turn identified another lawyer who gave him a script for the tape and paid him to find women to fabricate the claims, the affidavits say.

I'm sure the lefty fever swamp is filled with claims that (Karl Rove, the Koch Bros, or whoever the bogeyman of the moment is) paid the hookers to make the claims. Here's a theory - maybe the pro-Mennedez forces are paying hookers to make claims, then recant them, to discredit the legit claims. Seems like someone would have to have a very serious interest in this matter (i.e. more than just partisan rooting) to pay hookers to lie.

I don't really care about politicians sleeping with prostitutes, it's the stuff they do on the job that bugs me.
I certainly don't mean to turn into SuperPrude, but if they're married and they fuck prostitutes, that means that they don't take their marriage vows seriously.
If they don't take their marriage vows seriously, how can they take their oath of office seriously?
Conclusion: if their spouses can't trust them, how can we? And yeah, I hold my employees to a high standard.

Great.
But who was paid to slip into the congressional record Menedez's support for the bill that benefit his friend.
Or Menedez's using State to rough up the DR when his friend's contract was in trouble?
Let's focus on the provable shit here first I say.

Yeah, that's it. That's why he had to reimburse for all those plane flights, because he enjoys the flying so much.
The sex trafficking was always the charge that would put him in jail, I say a few hookers just cashed in big. Oh well, some people are more equal than others. He now skates, but I hope the next underaged girl he tries to diddle stabs him in the eye.

You are not supposed to trust them. At all. That is the point.
I don't. However, since they exempt themselves from the very laws they make, and the rest of us have to abide by, how can we punish them? On example: these fucksticks are required by law to pass a budget every year. We haven't had one in over four years, and the penalty for them is, what, again?
FFS, Teddy Kennedy went on to spend 30-odd more years in Washington after killing MJK. In a normal world, he would have died in jail after paying out his fortune to the girl's family.
We are so screwed...

It's hard to know what actually went on as far as this angle of it goes (although, of course, innocent until proven guilty).
IUPG only applies to Dims. For everyone else, it's always, "OHMYG, did you hear what he DID??!!!1!1 Get that on the front page and run with it! IT'S GOT LEGS!!!"

Menendez hez has gotten off free as a bird and guilty as sin. No one will go after a minority Senator a second time even if there is video of him cashing the checks from his buddy Melgen.

There's a reason why they're called WHORES. They will sell whatever needs to be sold to whoever pays the most. (especially cash customers)

Who stands to gain the most from Menendez's demise?
That's not a seat that an R is likely to win.
So, I would look to who is most likely to take that seat...if it became open...as to who might be behind these lawyers who "paid" the prostitute to lie, if that really happened.
Like a certain mayor of Newark.

Apparently profession is the same as a fingerprint in rapid fire first person political reporting.
All of this is tawdry, and there is something there there, but which and what? Sounds like self accusation to offset the basic one.
"No matter what unnamed sources have said I have never anally raped either an elephant or horse, one time I rode a horse, and that was completely misrepresented, and all other accusations along these lines are as baseless as all these that are now being proven wrong."
Stupid people buy that shit. But we are populated with stupid people.

He doesn't go to DR to hire prostitutes but to pick up gorgeous lonely models in bars based on his charm and good looks. I mean look at him. He doesn't strike me as the type of guy who frequents female prostitutes.
