Senator Bob Menendez only ‘likes the youngest and newest girls’ says Dominican prostitute who 'attended alleged sex parties with him'
A shocking email posted online yesterday claims that under fire New Jersey Democratic Senator Bob Menendez had a predilection for young and inexperienced prostitutes and may have slept with a minor.
Allegedly written by a young Dominican prostitute and published by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethic in Washington (Crew), the email claims that Menendez 'likes the youngest and newest girls'.
Dating from April, the electronic exchange has been examined by the Daily Caller and according to their translators the Spanish writing indicated someone who was 'very young and unsophisticated.'

Under fire: Menendez issued a denial yesterday against allegations that he slept with prostitutes in the Dominican Republic
The Democratic politician has been hit with a series of allegations since November that he and a prominent donor frequently traveled by private plane to the Dominican Republic where they paid multiple prostitutes to attend their sex parties.
And yesterday, Robert Menendez empahticaly denied the allegations as the FBI raided the home of donor and wealthy Florida eye doctor, Salomon Melgen, who also denies the claims.
The email is part of a chain of whistle-blowing exchanges between CREW and a concerned American citizen who claims to have knowledge of Senator Menendez and his attendance of sex parties in the Dominican Republic.
Included in the exchange is an email from one of the girls who claims to have participated in these orgies and was paid by the senator for sex.
'In the beginning he seemed so serious, because he never spoke to anyone, but he is just like the others and has just about the same tastes as the doctor, very refined. I think they were taking us more often to get us checked [medically] because of him,' wrote the girl.
Her name is being withheld by MailOnline because she may have been a minor when her alleged encounters with Menendez occurred.

Scandalous: This is the second woman who says she had sex with Menendez while he was in the Dominican Republic
In her email, the young lady expresses fear at coming forward.
'I do not want to have problems with those people,” she wrote, adding that she believed 'I can trust you, that you will help us, and that nothing bad will happen to the other young girls, to me, or to my family.'
'The thing that worries me the most is that if they know that I spoke with someone they will find me,' she added.
The alleged prostitute says that she was working with a Dominican escort service called The Doll Palace and that a code word, 'chocolate' was used to summon her and other girls to Melgen's alleged sex parties.
To prove herself she gave detailed descriptions of Melgen's pimp and the houses where she slept with house guests.
The account is the most detailed since allegations emerged in November that Senator Menendez had attended sex parties in the Dominican Republic.

She is said to have told the whistle-blower who did not include her email with a cache of documents he sent to CREW on January 24th.
The DC was first to report on that dossier about Senator Menendez, which included an interview transcript in which a different woman claimed she was 16 when she began sleeping with him.
That young prostitute said she had sex with Menendez 'three times at least' in 2009.
'The first one in February, and then in May and June. I recall his visit in June so well because that month was my 17th birthday.'
Friend with a benefit? Dr Melgen gave trips on his private plane to Sen Menendez
Yesterday, New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez today denied allegations of sleeping with prostitutes in the Dominican Republic.
The Democratic politician was forced to issue the statement after the FBI raided the home of one of his big shot political donors, a prominent Florida eye doctor.
Dr Salomon Melgen, a contributor to Menendez and other politicians, has been suspected of providing free trips on his private plane to the Dominican Republic.
Menendez was first accused of sleeping with prostitutes on the island shortly before last November's election when the website the Daily Caller said he used Dr Melgen's plane to travel to the Dominican Republic to meet with the call girls.
He initially refused to address the report, calling it a bunch of 'fallacious allegations.'
Prostitution is legal in the Dominican Republic.
Menendez, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, did say he traveled on Dr Melgen's plane on three occasions and trips were 'paid for and reported appropriately.'
Menendez's office did not say whether the three trips were to the Dominican Republic or elsewhere.
They also did not say whether the trips were paid by Menendez personally or by his senatorial or his campaign accounts, nor did it specify how they were reported.
If Menendez did not pay for the trips, he would have to report them on annual financial disclosure forms as gifts.
If he paid for the trips from his Senate office account, he would have to report them on Senate office forms. And if he used campaign funds, he would have had to report the expense on Federal Election Commission forms.
The Associated Press searched six years of office and travel-related expenses for Menendez's U.S. Senate office and found no reports reflecting payments to Melgen or trips aboard Melgen's plane.

The AP also found no apparent reimbursement to Melgen in more than six years' worth of campaign expenses on file with the Federal Election Commission.
Records filed in Palm Beach County show an Internal Revenue Service lien against Dr Melgen of more than $11.1million for unpaid taxes from 2006 through 2009.
Prior liens for taxes from 1998 to 2002 were subsequently withdrawn, records show.
Despite Dr Melgen's financial problems, he 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, the Miami Herald reported.
Dr Melgen has become regarded as a top ophthalmologist, speaking at conferences and even operating on then Florida Gov. Lawton Chiles in 1997.
Calls to Melgen's offices were forwarded to an answering service where receptionists told callers to try back Thursday.
Calls to Melgen's home in North Palm Beach, which is appraised at $2.1million, went unanswered.
In a statement to The New York Times on Wednesday, Dr Melgen's lawyer said: 'The government has not informed Dr Melgen what its concerns are. However, we are confident that Dr. Melgen has acted appropriately at all times.

- Senator Menendez¿s Ties to Political Donor Are Scrutinized
Menendez's relationship with Alarcón made national news in 2013. As a member of the House a decade earlier, Menendez gave congressional testimony and proposed legislation to block a merger between Univision and the Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation. Alarcón opposed the merger, saying it would be the "last nail in the coffin" for Hispanic media ownership.
SENATOR BOB MENENDEZ: A POLITICAL LIFE OF CORRUPTION - BUT HOW DOES THAT MAKE HIM DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER LIFER DEMOCRAT POLICIAN?
Robert Menendez (/ m ɛ ˈ n ɛ n d ɛ z /; born January 1, 1954) is an American lawyer and politician serving as the senior United States Senator from New Jersey, a seat he has held since 2006. A member of the Democratic Party , he was first appointed to the U.S. Senate by Governor Jon Corzine , and chaired the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations from 2013 to 2015, and again since 2021.

Sen. Robert Menendez Indicted On Corruption Charges | NBC Nightly News
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQVVN2bam9g
Pompeo is Right; Menendez is a Crook, but How Did He Get Off?
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Senator Robert Menedez (D-NJ) of orchestrating the controversy over the firing of State Department Inspector General Steve Linick.
Pompeo said. “I don’t get my ethics guidance from a man who was criminally prosecuted — case number 15-155, New Jersey Federal District Court. A man for whom his Senate colleagues, bipartisan said basically that he was taking bribes. That’s not someone who I look to for ethics guidance.”
Pompeo is right. Menendez is a crook. He should have been forced out of the Senate and gone to jail with his co-defendant Salomon Melgen. But it was the Trump Justice Department that let Menendez off the hook.
As we have recounted previously, Menendez was tried on bribery and related charges, but that trial ended in a mistrial on November 16, 2017, and the Justice Department made a decision not to retry him.
The indictment against Menendez was based, in part, on information uncovered by Tom Anderson, Director of NLPC’s Government Integrity Project, and made public in a front-page New York Times story on January 31, 2013.
Why did Justice let Menendez escape after pouring so many resources into the investigation, prosecution, and trial? One explanation would be that political influence was exercised on Menendez’ behalf. Menendez’ lawyer is Abbe Lowell, who also represented Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law. Kushner and his family are longtime donors to Democratic politicians in New Jersey, including Menendez. Someone made the decision to save Menendez’ career and possibly keep him out of prison.
‘Stream of Benefits’
The Justice Department announcement was made in a one-sentence statement on January 31, 2018 citing a ruling a week earlier by the presiding judge, William Walls, throwing out several of the counts, suggesting that their case had been weakened.
In reality, Judge Walls’ ruling strengthened the prosecution’s hand. He left intact the counts related to the jet rides and other gifts, as well as Menendez’ deliberate failure to disclose them. More importantly, Walls affirmed the validity of the prosecution’s “stream of benefits” theory presented at the trial, on which its case rested.
Menendez’ lawyers had argued that this theory conflicted with the Supreme Court’s 2016 ruling in McDonnell that for a bribery conviction, there must be a quid pro quo, or a direct connection between a payment and an “official act.” Under the “stream of benefits” theory, Melgen’s favors were so extensive and frequent that proving such a direct connection would be unnecessary. Walls ruled, “The Court concludes that McDonnell is not antagonistic to the stream of benefits theory… a rational juror could find that Defendants entered into a quid pro quo agreement.”
Justice to the Rescue
Even if Menendez was acquitted on the more serious charges, it is likely that prosecutors would have gotten a conviction on Menendez’ failure to disclose his gifts from his co-defendant Dr. Salomon Melgen. A criminal conviction, even on lesser charges, would have forced Menendez to give up his seat or face calls for his expulsion.
Ethics Committee Punts, Too
With the criminal investigation over, the typically toothless Senate Committee resumed its investigation into violations of Senate rules. On April 26, 2018, it “severely admonished” Menendez and ordered him to repay the value of the gifts from Melgen and amend his disclosure forms. This was more good news for Menendez as the Committee could have recommended to the full Senate his Censure or expulsion.
Menendez failed to disclose that he owned between $15,000 and $50,000 worth of shares in Spanish Broadcasting System at the time of his testimony in 2003. The Alarcón family had also donated tens of thousands of dollars to Menendez's congressional campaign.
Menendez Received Thousands of Dollars in Wedding Gifts From Scandal-Linked Friends
Senator got $1K in gifts from New Jersey U.S. attorney hopeful
Chuck Ross • May 20, 2021 3:20 pmSen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.) and his bride received $13,000 in cash and gifts at their wedding last year, including thousands from friends linked to the senator's various political scandals and an associate who may soon be tapped to serve as U.S. attorney for New Jersey.
Menendez and his wife, Nadine Arslanian, were given $9,000 in cash and $4,000 in gifts, according to filings submitted to the Senate Ethics Committee this week. The couple received $2,000 in cash and gifts from Donald Scarinci and Raúl Alarcón, longtime Menedez associates who testified for the defense at the senator's 2017 corruption trial. Menendez also received $1,000 in gifts from Philip Sellinger, a prominent Democratic fundraiser who is reported to be in the running for the U.S. attorney slot. The marriage is the second for the 67-year-old Menendez.
The disclosure is a reversal of sorts for Menendez, who was admonished by the Senate Ethics Committee in 2018 for failing to disclose tens of thousands of dollars worth of flights and vacations he received from more than a decade ago from Salomon Melgen, a Florida eye doctor convicted on charges that he defrauded Medicare. Menendez was indicted in 2015 on charges that he accepted bribes from Melgen in exchange for political favors. The Justice Department withdrew the case in January 2018 after the jury failed to reach a verdict at trial.
As New Jersey's senior senator, Menendez will likely have influence on President Biden's selection for the state's U.S. attorney. Sellinger, an attorney at the firm Greenberg Traurig, is one of a handful of top candidates for the position, according to reports. In 2012, Sellinger hosted Biden at his home for a Menendez fundraiser.
Sellinger, Scarinci, and Alarcón have featured
to varying degrees in Menendez's numerous
political scandals.
Sellinger contributed $40,000 to Menendez's
legal defense fund in his corruption case.
Scarinci and Alarcón testified on the senator's
behalf at the corruption trial and are linked to
other Menendez scandals.
In 1999, Scarinci, a longtime New Jersey political operative, was recorded asking a New Jersey psychiatrist to do "a favor" for Menendez in order to gain "protection" for a $1 million government contract. In 2002, Menendez introduced legislation and lobbied the Federal Communications Commission to block a merger between two rivals of Alarcón's company, Spanish Broadcasting Systems. Menendez failed to disclose that he held tens of thousands of dollars in shares of Spanish Broadcasting and that Alarcón was a major campaign donor.
Scarinci gave $1,000 in cash to Menendez and Arslanian, according to Menendez's disclosure. Alarcón and Sellinger each gave $1,000 in gifts to the newlyweds.
Scarinci was a prominent figure at Menendez's trial. He testified that he solicited two donations of $300,000 from Melgen to the Senate Majority PAC in June and October 2012, which were central to the bribery charges against Menendez. He also said that he met with Melgen alongside Alarcón, who contributed $100,000 to the PAC, which was overseen at the time by then-Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.).
In August 2012, Menendez and Reid arranged to meet with then-Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius to discuss a Medicare billing policy that had cost Melgen millions of dollars in revenue.
Scarinci was not accused of any wrongdoing. The defense used him to testify that he sought the donations from Melgen on his own accord, without influence from Menendez. Prosecutors tried unsuccessfully to introduce evidence that showed Scarinci had worked for years as a middleman for Menendez.
The judge in the case declined the government's request to introduce an audio recording from 1999 in which Scarinci told New Jersey psychiatrist Oscar Sandoval that Menendez wanted him to hire another doctor, Vicente Ruiz, as a "favor." Sandoval released a tape of the conversation in 2006. He said he believed that Scarinci was threatening him to comply with Menendez's request in order to maintain a $1 million government contract.
The Menendez campaign distanced itself from Scarinci when the tape surfaced in 2006, saying that Scarinci was not acting at Menendez's behest. But Scarinci was heard on the tape saying that he intervened at Menendez’s request.
"The only reason I stuck my nose in this Ruiz thing is because Menendez asked me," Scarinci said on the tape, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Menendez's relationship with Alarcón made national news in 2013. As a member of the House a decade earlier, Menendez gave congressional testimony and proposed legislation to block a merger between Univision and the Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation. Alarcón opposed the merger, saying it would be the "last nail in the coffin" for Hispanic media ownership.
Menendez failed to disclose that he owned between $15,000 and $50,000 worth of shares in Spanish Broadcasting System at the time of his testimony in 2003. The Alarcón family had also donated tens of thousands of dollars to Menendez's congressional campaign.
None of the Menendez wedding guests responded to requests for comment. Menendez's office did not respond to a request for comment.
Bob Menendez Mistrial… So Get Ready To Do This All Over Again
Bob Menendez is a free man for now.
Even though the Supreme Court basically legalized corruption in the McDonnell case, the Department of Justice trudged forward in its pursuit of New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez in gloriously Quixotic fashion. Along the way, administrations changed and the Sessions team tried to turn the trial into an effort to keep one Democratic Senator from exercising his vote on contentious legislation.
Not to besmirch the true believers at the Justice Department concerned about public corruption, but there was no small tinge of partisanship with a Democratic senator facing conviction in a state governed by a lame duck Republican governor.
But alas, all that speculation was much ado about nothing. Abbe Lowell, representing Menendez, asked for a mistrial days after the jury reported that they were hopelessly deadlocked. Menendez returns to the Senate today pretty happy to learn he’s not going to be the Democrat facing a tidal wave of pressure to resign, so that’s good for him.

OPERATION OBOMB: Barack Obama, Eric Holder and their bankster paymasters plan coup.
Barack Obama was famous not wanting to leave office when his term was done and well known for projecting a sense of entitlement to power.
https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2020/11/lawyer-barack-obama-and-his-attack-dog.html
Biden positions, after doing nothing, save for the end, at best, to help Biden's presidential campaign, suggesting that the hollow-victory Biden administration is just a placeholder for the return of an Obama third term. It's a sign that Obama éminence grise is more than a little active, behind the scenes as she always is.
“Obama’s new home in Washington has been described as the “nerve center” of the anti-Trump opposition. Former attorney general Eric Holder has said that Obama is “ready to roll” and has aligned himself with the “resistance.” Former high-level Obama campaign staffers now work with a variety of groups organizing direct action against Trump’s initiatives. “Resistance School,” for example, features lectures by former campaign executive Sara El-Amine, author of the Obama Organizing.”
New book claims Obama was a 'parasite' who sucked the Democratic Party dry to get reelected
A "parasite" on the Democratic Party is how journalist Edward Isaac Dovere describes former President Obama in his forthcoming tell-all book "Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats' Campaign to Defeat Trump."
In a chapter entitled "Benign Neglect," Dovere writes that the section’s namesake is how Obama aides privately described his abandonment of the Democratic Party once in the White House. "‘Negligence’ might be more accurate," Dovere, writer for The Atlantic and former chief Washington correspondent for Politico, writes.
"The numbers are hard to ignore: during his eight years in office, Obama oversaw a net loss of 947 state legislative seats, 63 House seats, 11 senators, and 13 governors," he continues.
In 2008, Democrats increased their majorities in the House and Senate, delivering Obama the legislature for his first two years in office. In 2010, Republicans took the majority in the House with the Tea Party wave and Democrats maintained but shrunk their majority in the Senate. In 2014, Republicans gained control of both the House and Senate.
Dovere writes that the 44th president carried himself with a "self-assured self-regard."
OBAMA CALLED TRUMP A ‘F---ING LUNATIC,' BOOK SAYS
"Obama never built a Democratic bench and never cared to, aside from a few scattered candidates who interested him," according to the book.
Dovere writes that "defenders" of Obama have argued he didn’t want to "taint" his presidency by " mucking about in fundraising," or that he didn’t want to spoil the image voters had of him as an independent politician, or that faced with the choice to campaign or govern, he would always choose govern.
Dovere writes that during his first term, Obama used the party structure as a "host" for his next campaign.
In 2009, Obama hired his friend Tim Kaine to head the DNC, even though Kaine was also serving as governor for the first year on the job.
In a scathing passage Dovere claims Kaine was at the time "commuting two days a week to oversee the pilfering of talent, money, resources, and purpose for the Obama reelection effort that was already under way."
"In his second term, he cared about what happened to the husk as much as any parasite does," Dovere says.
Dovere pointed to the Obama team’s decision to strike a deal with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) that saddled the committee with $2.4 million in leftover debt from Obama’s 2012 election. In return, "Obama for America" gave the DNC its email list, and Obama was supposed to headline additional fundraisers.
Obama Said Tea Party Movement Was Composed of 'Racist Motherf---ers,' According to New Book
ALEX EDELMAN/AFP via Getty Barack Obama
Former President Barack Obama is openly not a fan of Donald Trump or of the Tea Party movement that preceded his rise — and according to a new book, he used choice words to describe both. The book, by Atlantic journalist Edward-Isaac Dovere, quotes Obama referring to Trump as a "f---ing lunatic" and saying the right-wing Tea Party movement was comprised of "racist motherf---ers."
In his forthcoming book Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats' Campaign to Defeat Trump, Dovere writes that the remark came after the Obama Foundation's 2017 holiday party in Chicago, when his staff asked how it felt "to be made out as an anticapitalist by the Republicans," despite the fact that he had previously worked with big banks and corporate leaders.
"Obama gave a long, reasoned answer," Dovere writes in the book, as reported by Business Insider. "As for the Tea Party, Obama said, well, they were 'racist motherf---ers.' "
The right-wing Tea Party movement sprouted up in 2009, and was at the time focused on undoing Obama's landmark health care law and enacting conservative fiscal policies.
RELATED: What Does Barack Obama Really Think of Donald Trump? 'He's Nothing But a Bullsh--ter'
According to Business Insider, Dovere writes that Obama, 59, referred to Trump, 74, as "a madman," and once said of his presidency: "I didn't think it would be this bad."
Obama also reportedly said of Trump: "I didn't think we'd have a racist, sexist pig," and referred to the former reality star as a "f---ing lunatic" and a "corrupt motherf---er" when it was reported that Trump had phone calls with foreign leaders without any American aides listening in.
As PEOPLE earlier reported for its 2017 cover story on the 44th president, Obama on election night 2016 privately called Trump "nothing but a bullshitter," according to sources close to the then-president.
Sources told PEOPLE the comment came while Obama was describing an election night phone call with Trump, in which the businessman suddenly professed his "respect" and "admiration" for his predecessor, following years of hectoring and promulgating the racist "birther" conspiracy theory.
Obama's opinion didn't seem to change much over the next four years, with the former president often criticizing Trump's tenure in office while campaigning for Joe Biden, his former vice president.
At an October 2020 drive-in rally for the then-Democratic nominee, Obama slammed Trump, saying he wasn't focusing on the well-being of the country and was instead only working to promote himself using a "reality show" style of politics.
"[Trump] hasn't shown any interest in doing the work or helping anybody but himself or his friends or treating the presidency as anything more than a reality show to give him the attention that he craves," Obama said. "But unfortunately, the rest of us have to live with the consequences."
