Menendez donor Melgen courted President Obama, Harry Reid

Menendez donor Melgen courted President Obama, Harry Reid. Since there about as many selfless politicians as there are snakes with hiking boots, it’s likely there will always be influence peddling.

That photo above should/could be captioned as follows:

Obama: "So, how did you and Menendez get away for so long carrying on with those young chicks from the DR?"
Melgen: "Easy, Mr. President. We were sequestered where no one could hold us
accountable. You should try it."
