Prosecutors Say Democratic Senator Robert Menendez Used Underage Hookers

Senator Robert Menendez, D-NJ, is on trial for taking bribes from a Florida eye doctor, who committed $105 million in Medicare fraud. Among the rewards to Menendez were trips to the Dominican Republic where federal prosecutors say he may have slept with underage hookers.

If he wasn’t a Democrat, this would be the most covered trial of the century.

From the New York Daily News:

Federal prosecutors said Monday that they aren’t convinced claims U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez cavorted with underage hookers – widely seen as discredited – are false.

Lawyers for the New Jersey Democrat last week asked a federal judge to dismiss charges that the senator took bribes from a Florida eye doctor, Salomon Melgen, and in exchange used his power to do business and personal favors for him.

The defense said the case is bogus because it sprang from “easily disprovable” claims that Menendez slept with underage prostitutes while hosted by Melgen at a Dominican Republic villa.

Three women who made the prostitution allegations later recanted and said they were paid to level the charges. Neither Melgen nor Menendez was charged with soliciting underage prostitutes.

But in a motion Monday asking the judge to ignore the defense arguments, Justice Department lawyers say the hooker allegations “were not so easily disprovable as the defendants suggest.”

 

 

 

 

 

Joke Of The Day: How’s About 5 Dollars?

Rubber Chicken Bill Clinton likes to go for a walk every Saturday evening. One evening, he passed by an alley, and a prostitute yelled at him, “Fifty dollars will buy you a good time!”

He responded by saying “How’s about 5 dollars?”, jokingly, and kept walking.

This same thing kept happening every Saturday for a couple of weeks; every time Bill passed the prostitute, she would offer him her services for fifty dollars, and he would decline and say he’d only pay five. One evening, however, Hillary asked if she could come along on the walk with him, and Bill reluctantly agreed, nervous about what Hillary would say if the prostitute yelled at him again. They went on the walk, and when they passed the alley, to Bill’s surprise, the prostitute was silent, and they continued on their walk. As they were about to round the corner, however, they heard the prostitute’s voice from behind them,

“So that’s what five dollars gets you, huh?”
