| More subpoenas in Menendez probe |
| 2006-11-12 |
| Federal investigators have resumed their inquiry into a rental deal between U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and a nonprofit agency, issuing new subpoenas in the days after he was elected to a full six-year term, according to a government source. The subpoenas sought documents related to the more than $300,000 in rent Menendez collected from the North Hudson Community Action Corp. between 1994 and 2003, the source said. It was unclear what records were sought or who was subpoenaed. "More are coming," said the source, who declined to be named because of the sensitive nature of the investigation. and the damn fools reelected this criminal crony of a guy who bought his way into the senate and then the gov seat (Corzine) and lied his ass off about taxes and government services. Shame of it is, if he gets booted Corzine names the replacment. NJ-ers, you are way too stupid to be allowed to vote - look at the results. On the bright side, there goes the Dems "Open and Clean Government" campaign slogan. |

| #7 "..investigators have resumed their inquiry..." Attourney General Ondulay Gonzales runs a real pro active department! Maybe after the Thanksgiving and Christmas break he will resume the investigation of "Dollar Bill" Jefferson, Criminal LA,...that is if Dennis the Menace Hastert doesn't continue objecting that all Congresscritters are innocent, regardless of cold hard facts in the freezer. |

| #5 On the bright side, there goes the Dems "Open and Clean Government" campaign slogan. Really? Odds are that the closer he comes to conviction, the less his party affiliation will be mentioned in stories. Eventually some paper or TV station will make a "mistake" and slap an "(R)" after his name. Then the Democrats will crow about how his removal proves they're cleaning up the corruption. The press is feeling its oats, realizing just how much help they can provide their chosen party. All they ask in return is a little help -- "campaign finance reform" and the "fairness doctrine". |

| #2 Very little chance, Oldspook -- everybody in NJ knew Menendez was a crook, and the Dems voted for him anyway. It's now officially a one-party state. |

| #1 If he gets dumped for this, then there is an appointment and a special election. Keane could win that one because he already has name recognition, and coudl take advantage of "buyers remorse" in NJ. Thats if they arent so unthinkingly stupid as to pull the lever for anything with a (D) beside it (which is a very real possibility). Irony is that if this does happen, the Repubs get the senate back - and with a lot of pro-gun pro-defense new people in it across the aisle (Webb, etc) |
