Not to be a jerk about this, but…..
This is what Jonathan Karl, ABC News\’ Chief White House Correspondent, had to say on yesterday\’s “This Week” show, about the fact that corruption charges were filed against Robert Menendez just after he came out with an attack on President Obama\’s “deal\’ with Iran (bold print is mine):
“If you had written this in a \’House of Cards\’ script, it would have been thrown out. The idea that the president\’s most powerful democratic critic of the Iran deal goes down, indicted just before the deal is announced, nobody is suggesting a connection, but it sure does have an impact and it will it will be harder for Republicans to get a veto-proof majority to challenge the deal.”
Nobody is suggesting a connection, Mr. Karl?
Here, in its entirety, is my blog from March 6 – over a month ago:
MENENDEZ CORRUPTION CHARGES: INTERESTING TIMING

Ken Berwitz
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that, last year, I wrote several commentaries about Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and his apparent corruption problems involving an ophthalmologist named saloman melges, whom Menendez accepted much in the way of gifts and other largesse from…and got something like $700,000 in campaign contributions from him….possibly in return for Menendez using his Senate position to interced on melges\’ behalf several times, and helping to make him fabulously wealthy. You can read all about it in this blog from April 9, 2014, among others.
I assumed Menendez would be charged with corruption at that time, and made a point of saying that his clock was ticking: Tick tock tick tock tick tock. But, despite my expectations, nothing happened….
…until….
…Menendez came out strongly against President Obama\’s Iran policy last month.
And now, seemingly out of the blue, CNN is reporting that the Department of Justice, still led by the disgraceful toady and Obama sock-puppet eric holder, is suddenly drawing up the corruption charges that never came to be last year.
Coincidence? Yeah sure. And the cow jumped over the moon.
Less than two years until this nightmare ends. I count the seconds.

Uh….you were saying, Mr. Karl?
