If President Obama’s foreign policy doesn’t make any sense to you, Save Jerseyans, than maybe it’s because the only constant at work here is the enrichment of the Democrat Party.
Remember back in January? When we learned that everyone’s favorite Caribbean tourist and outgoing chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Bob Menendez (D-Ecuador/Dominican Republic), was under investigation for “dealings with two fugitive Ecuadorean bankers” including potential ethic violations?
Well, while Menendez was reprimanding the Obama Administration over Cuba last week, you may’ve missed this little nugget from The New York Times: an expose on his role facilitating favors for foreign nationals in exchange for donations to Democrat groups.
It reads like a movie script:
“In 2012, the Isaías family donated about $100,000 to the Obama Victory Fund. Campaign finance records show that their most generous donations came just before a request to the administration.
Ms. Isaías’s mother, María Mercedes, had recently donated $30,000 to the Senate campaign committee that Mr. Menendez led when she turned to him for help in her daughter’s case. At least two members of Mr. Menendez’s staff worked with Ms. Isaías and her father, as well as lawyers and other congressional offices, to argue that she had been unfairly denied entry into the United States.
Over the course of the next year, as various members of the Isaías family donated to Mr. Menendez’s re-election campaign, the senator and his staff repeatedly made calls, sent emails and wrote letters about Ms. Isaías’s case to Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Mills, the consulate in Ecuador, and the departments of State and Homeland Security.”
Nothing about it in the state-based papers! So click here to read the entire NYT story.
I wonder how long it’ll be before we find out Raul Castro is a DCCC bundler?
And here’s a reminder, anticipating emails asking the question: he’s up for reelection in 2018…
