Bob Menendez Digs A Deeper Hole
Two weeks ago Bob Menendez claimed he received “verbal approval” from the House ethics committee for a cozy deal he had with a federally funded nonprofit agency, although he said he did not obtain a written opinion.
Then on Thursday, Menendez claimed the “verbal approval” he received came from Mark Davis, a former Ethics Committee counsel, who conveniently for Menendez, is dead.
Today, the Star-Ledger reports that Mark Davis left the House Ethics Committee before Menendez entered into his deal with the agency.

Oh what a tangled web Bob weaves..........
Wouldn't it be interesting -- now that his first cover story has fallen apart -- if a reporter with a little moxie would actually ask Bob Menendez a tough question about this whole thing?
For example, someone could ask him something like this:
"Well, Senator, if you now admit, as reported in the Star-Ledger, that your current recall as to who gave you the advice was faulty, as you put it, "working on a recollection from 12 years ago" why should anyone accept your continuing insistence that you actually asked anyone at all for the advice?"
"Isn't it at least as credible, Senator, that you just thought about asking for the advice, and then perhaps thought better of it when you started actually browsing through the House Ethics Rules?"
"You follow me, Senator? . . . Senator?"
