“When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal”

U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez employed as an unpaid intern in his Senate office an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender, now under arrest by immigration authorities, The Associated Press has learned. The Homeland Security Department instructed federal agents not to arrest him until after Election Day, a U.S. official involved in the case told the AP.

  1. This should, and I have to repeat the word SHOULD,
    mean the immediate dismissal of a bunch of folks in Homeland Security, starting with Holder. The Democratic Senator, Menendez, should resign.
    But, of course, that’ll never happen.
    typical sleazy, leftwing ideologists. Do as I say! Not as I do!

  2. I like to think I’m not a complete naif, and I assume most politicians of any type (certainly Republicans as well as Democrats) are at least kind of corrupt, but surely this is a stage beyond. This regime is downright criminal.
    Four more years. It’s horrifying.

  3. For your amusement and edification:

    This is your regular reminder that the best taxers aren’t always the best taxees:
    A new report just out from the Internal Revenue Service reveals that 36 of President Obama’s executive office staff owe the country $833,970 in back taxes.
    This per the IRS. Federal employees as a group owe a whopping $3.4 billion in unpaid taxes, including 1,181 employees of the Treasury Department delinquent on a total of $9.3 million in taxes. (But do you recall the most famous delinquent of all? Tim Geithner had to pay $42,000 in back taxes before his confirmation as Treasury Secretary.)
    Minus departments with relatively small workforces (e.g. “The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation” and its 53 employees), which make for bad samples, some of the federal bodies with the highest tax delinquency rates are: The Government Printing Office (6.81%), he Small Business Administration (5.37%), the Smithsonian Institution (5.03%), the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (4.63% — also, the what now?), and the Federal Reserve Board of Governors (4.86%!).
    And just for the sweet, sweet irony, I’ll note that among the worst of the small department offenders, with 77 employees and a 6.49% delinquency rate? The U.S Office of Government Ethics.

    Yesterday I read on the Blaze that Holder is being groomed for the next Presidential election.
    Lord help us

  5. And this is news because…
    You all know darn well that any leftoid or msm will see this as another GOP race issue.

  6. Yet, another example of delay and bribery. It’s getting to be just like a failed African state, like the one Obama’s deadbeat dad was from.
    North Korea was so “paid off”.
