FBI Raids Office of Sen. Menendez Campaign Donor — Accused of Facilitating ‘Sex Parties’ for Sen. With Underage Dominican Prostitutes

FBI Agents Raid Office of Doctor Connected to Senator Robert Menendez Underage Prostitution Dominican Republic Scandal

Over the weekend, many were disgusted that ABC conducted a lengthy interview with Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), but failed to ask him a single question about the allegations that he paid young foreigners to sleep with him. Especially considering Menendez may soon take over the prominent role of chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with John Kerry’s appointment as secretary of state.

While none of the claims have been proven, it appears as though the authorities may have begun expanding their investigation (it was reported by the Associated Press last month that Menendez was employing an illegal immigrant and sex offender as an unpaid intern, but that Homeland Security instructed federal agents not to arrest him until after the election).

On Tuesday night, the office of a Florida doctor who contributed heavily to Menendez’ campaigns and is accused of facilitating the senator’s x-rated trips to the Dominican Republic was raided by the FBI.

The Miami Herald explains:

FBI agents late Tuesday night raided the West Palm Beach business of an eye doctor suspected of providing free trips and even underage Dominican Republic prostitutes to U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J. — who has denied what he calls the “fallacious allegations.”

Agents gathered at the medical-office complex of Dr. Salomon Melgen, a contributor to Menendez and other prominent politicians, to start hauling away potential evidence in several vans.

The investigation is believed to be focusing on Melgen’s finances and the allegations about Menendez’s trips and contact with prostitutes. A spokesman for Menendez could not be reached for comment, nor could Melgen.

Melgen has an outstanding IRS lien of $11.1 million for taxes owed from 2006 to 2009, according to records filed with the Palm Beach County recorder’s office. A previous IRS lien for $6.2 million was released in 2011.

Despite those financial problems, Melgen and his family have contributed at least $357,000 to candidates and committees since 1998, according to Florida and federal campaign records. Of that, the Melgens have contributed about 9 percent to Menendez’s federal campaigns.

Melgen also owns a private CL-600 Challenger plane through one of his West Palm Beach-based companies, and frequently flies between South Florida and Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, where he is from. [Emphasis added]

The Daily Caller broke the story back in November, speaking with a high-level government official from the Dominican Republic and two prostitutes who claim to have been promised $500 if they slept with the senator, but were only paid $100.

“As far as Bob Menendez is concerned he has a very good life there,” the Dominican official reportedly said during an in-person interview. “He likes sexual things.”

The official added that it’s not unusual for Dominican lawmakers to throw wild “sex parties” since prostitution is legal in the country, but that it’s rare to see prominent Americans comport themselves in such a fashion. He emphasized that Menendez and Melgen did their best to make sure all the girls were of age, but the Daily Caller reports that some were as young as 16.

“He [Menendez] is getting to be well known [in the Dominican Republic] for this party mentality because a few times it’s hit the press — the gossip columns,” the official noted.

On January 25, the Daily Caller added that documents published online indicate the FBI has opened an investigation into Menendez’ trips abroad with Melgen.

But details are still scarce, and it’s possible Melgen’s finances were the primary motivator behind the raid.

A spokesman for Menendez’s office called the reports “unsubstantiated garbage” and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stood by his fellow Democratic lawmaker.

“Always consider the source,” Reid said. “All anyone here has to look at is the source where this comes from.”

Bob Menendez’ Teen Hookers and North Korean Child Cannibalism
(Separate Stories)

Initial news accounts fed to the American people are generally
incomplete and filled with denials–and are often inaccurate.

Thus, we have gotten numerous reports concerning New Jersey Democrat
Senator Bob Menendez’ excursions to the Dominican Republic allegedly for the
purposes of engaging in sexual activities with minors but only later we learned
he had a distinct predilection for only ”the youngest and freshest
girls.”

We know well the extreme poverty in the Democratic People’s Republic
of Korea but the true extent of the effects of that poverty, including North
Korean parents and grandparents killing and eating their children and
grandchildren in order to ward off starvation, has received precious little
publicity.

SENATOR MENENDEZ. A Dominican girl recounted her sexpacades with the
New Jersey senator in a detailed, authenticated email sent last April to
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) which was recently
posted online by Scribd.com.

During a series of sex parties when the girl was 16, she noted that
Menendez preferred “the youngest and freshest girls,” and that the girls were
sent for frequent medical check-ups “because of him.”

She also seemed to fear for her life: “I do not want to have problems
with those people,” adding that she believed “I can trust you, [CREW] that you
will help

The countdown begins. What is the over/under for the number of days it takes Menendez to resign. Being a Democrat, I would put it fairly high like maybe years, not days.

Ut oh. Do we have nest of problems? Will all the political donations be enough to protect the nest? We will see, if there is any guilt.

Now, as you like it:

The Immortal Code
Copyright January 30, 2013

There was an apple tree
That grew twixt the Tigris and Euphrates
Where once lived original man
That changed immortality to mortality

Now Eve had xx DNA for sure
But for eating the fruit of the tree
From death she had a cure
A promise to live forever
So long as avoiding an apple to be clever

So what key to live forever?
Now that we are so clever
Is it pure native knowledge?
Or that which comes from books
Or what you learn in college

Could it be polarity
An elixir to neutralize the original apple
To make DNA immortal again
To retrace DNA electron patterns so then
You follow electron footprints back to when
Immortality became mortality

And what of polarity of Christ’s DNA
The Immaculate Conception of Holy Mary
Were clues of DNA electronic patterns left on that Holy Day
For the XY code of the Immaculate Conception
Is what rules in every holy way.

And so the Church Templers
Saved icons containing the DNA
Kept them special me thinks
For better reasons than Friday 13th

No more but so
So which way to go
What if you had the formula
To reverse mortal back to immortal DNA
Would you want it that way
And what would you pay?
And what would you say
If some Templers were still alive today.
Would you meet them?
Would you believe a

  If some Templers were still alive today.
  Would you meet them?
  Would you believe again?
  
  I have more to follow on this one.
  What would you pay for the formula.
  For when consumption is done
  Your DNA is changed
  From mortal to immortal one?

“A previous IRS lien for $6.2 million was released in 2011.”
Released? Did he owe it or not?
What are the details?
THAT could be the REAL story.
