CRAPMEISTER: Menendez ‘Forgets’ Flying on Private Jet for an Int’l Sex Vacation with Teens

You’d remember a vacation when you’ve traveled abroad.

Bob Menendez claims he doesn’t remember his overseas trips.   He’s a Senator from New Jersey.

A year ago, a pair of teenaged girls from the Dominican Republic identified Menendez as having skipped out on paying them for sex when they were only 16 years old [here].

It’s a federal crime to travel to a foreign country to have sex with minors.

[Documents supporting allegations that Menendez traveled to the Dominican Republic to have sex with underage girls are here.]

But the allegations were a lie, Menendez claimed.  He denied the sex.  And the overseas trip.

Then evidence was discovered.  Menendez traveled to the Dominican Republic the exact same dates as the teenagers alleged.  On the private jet of a campaign donor.  Which he forgot to disclose.  And failed to reimburse.  As required by federal law and Senate rules.

Uh-oh. Menendez forgot he took a second private jet trip.  And a third.  And forgot to reimburse the donor.  Who coincidentally is under federal investigation for fraud [here, here].
