January 31, 2014 at 9:30 A.M. I was asked to sign a receipt for a cash purchase yesterday. I assume someone wanted to verify my signature. I have retained my copy of the receipt for the item. I am deeply grateful to have made this purchase.
Ms. Zimmer may soon be under investigation, news items suggest, for ethics and legal matters. Several prominent attorneys in New Jersey are facing new and intense scrutiny. More and far worse allegations against Mr. Menendez are rumored to be on the way. Apparently, The Record has disappeared from the Port Authority building in Manhattan.

January 30, 2014 at 1:34 P.M. I am writing at computer #9, Morningside Heights branch, NYPL, where I was recently prevented from accessing my dashboard at blogger. This is only one of the computers at which I have enjoyed such experiences. I will continue to struggle to write from private and public computers.
January 29, 2014 at 6:36 P.M. I am dealing with the usual harassments at my home lap-top which may result in preventing me from posting future writings. I will attempt to make further comments from public computers tomorrow.
Melissa Hayes, "Records Sought From GOP, Campaign Republicans Hire Familiar Law Firm in GWB Probe," The Record, January 21, 2014, p. A-1. (The mutual back-scratching between politically-connected law firms and politicians leads to unethical and criminal practices to say nothing of theft of public services. The "Patton Boggs" firm, for example, made $1 MILLION, thanks to Mr. Christie, defending claims that N.J. repay $271 MILLION for the cancelled Hudson River project that would have enriched the mafia and Democrats in N.J., together with their lawyers -- such as Brownstein, Booth, Barry -- a law firm that may no longer exist. I am sure GOP lawyers will find a way to express their gratitude: "Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "New Jersey Lawyers' Ethics Farce.")

"U.S. Senator Robert Menendez is under federal criminal investigation [again?] for allegedly helping a pair of Ecuadorean fugitives who are wanted in their home country on charges of embezzling money from their failed bank, [money laundering?] according to a report by NBC New York."
What is really going on here?
Well, a number of persons affiliated with deposed Central American governments supported by the Reagan administration and later by the first President Bush, often graduates of the so-called "School of the Americas" run by the CIA -- sometimes torturers and murderers -- escaped the collapse of Right-wing dictatorships and made their way to sunny Florida.
Many such persons are far worse than the Italian-American mafia, more ruthless, bigger thieves, and utterly without any sense of honor or rules -- even among themselves -- as well as frequently displaying mind-numbing stupidity. I am sure that most of these persons would be happier digging ditches than doing what they are doing today. ("New Jersey is Lucky Luciano's Havana" and "New Jersey Welcomes Child Molesters.")
Many of these recent arrivals are also affiliated with Cuban-American organized crime and America's numerous "paid-for" politicians. ("Is Menendez For Sale?" and "New Jersey's Child Sex Crisis" then "Crooked Broker Paid-Off Menendez.")
A few of these Fascist thugs have drifted into media industries that allow them to engage in (and conceal) production of low-grade porn, much of which features children -- porn that is protected by crooked politicians and incompetent lawyers, so-called "stumblebums," who are "on the government tit." ("New Jersey's Politically-Connected Lawyers On the Tit.")
How's the law practrice, Ramon Gonzales? How is the Superior Court Judgeship, Estela De La Cruz? ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "Menendez Consorts With Underage Prostitutes" then "Menendez's Croney's Office Raided" and "Edward M. De Sear, Esq. and New Jersey's Filth.")
Senator Menendez has taken an unusual interest in this immigration matter concerning William and Robert Isaias. These men are wanted fugitives accused of theft and other offenses in Ecuador, including reputed organized crime activity. ("Luis Posada Carriles and America's Hypocrisy.")
Along with Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, recently Brazil and other Latin American countries, Ecuador has infuriated U.S. authorities by establishing an independent foreign policy that includes granting asylum to Julian Assange in that nation's London embassy.
A number of nations -- including Cuba -- would certainly grant political asylum to Mumia Abu-Jamal. Will Senator Menendez express concern for the human rights of Mumia Abu-Jamal? ("Is Senator Menendez 'For' Human Rights?" and "Justice For Mumia Abu-Jamal.")
"Menendez, who has held office since 2006, leads the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and already reportedly faces a federal probe over his relationship with a Florida eye doctor."
The troubles seem to be piling-up for Boss Bob. An effort is underway to persuade Bob to retire from the U.S. Senate and get out of electoral politics, permanently. Whether Bob will accept this graceful exit is unclear. I certainly hope so. ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" and "Wedding Bells Ring For Menendez!")
What are the motives for Bob's "generosity" and touching concern for these upstanding members of the Florida community as a Senator from New Jersey?
"Menendez spokeswoman 'TRICIA ENRIGHT' ..."
Ms. "Enright" is probably Lilian Munoz, Bob's former flunky attorney who did the menial legal work in his office, and a notorious member of the "Lesbian Love-Fest," also a writer for the Times using pseudonyms, who may have acted illegally to harm me, and certainly lost an on-line argument against me! "It's all relative," Lilian? Are you going to "front" this situation for Bob, Lilian? Can you identify "Malbus," Lilian? ("Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!")
"... said the Senator's office had not heard from investigators and that the Senator believed the family had been politically persecuted in Ecuador, 'including through the confiscation of media outlets they owned which were critical of the government.' ..."
These same "media outlets" were said to be involved in child porn, in which case, it would be appropriate to confiscate the material and the outlet under Ecuadorean law. The same is true under U.S. law. ("Law Firm 'Employee' Distributes Child Porn" and "New Jersey is the Home of Child Molesters.")
The U.S. has not granted the immigration requests of these fine upstanding members of the community, even under a Democrat administration that likes their money.
Perhaps this lack of success with the INS is due to the U.S. being aware of these legal issues, Mr. Menendez, as are you -- even as the federal government is aware -- of a growing number of international warrants for these persons. In my opinion, these men are lucky that they have not been deported:
"Family members of the fugitives donated $10,000 to Menendez's 2012 reelection campaign, according to the report, as well as $100,000 to Democrats."
What a coincidence?
"According to public filings, Robert Isaias [sic.] son, Luis, donated $2,300 to Menendez's 2012 campaign."
Whatever cash, if any, was also "donated" to Menendez by these men has not been disclosed, but the issue is under investigation by the FBI.
In addition to their other holdings the Isaias brothers recently acquired CNN Latino. The slant on political coverage on that network is likely to favor politicians who "cooperate" with these people -- like the distinguished member of the New Jersey Bar Association, Mr. Menendez. ("Does Senator Menendez have mafia friends?" and "Is Menendez a Suspect in Mafia-Political Murder in New Jersey?" then "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics.")
Using child porn or other nefarious activities, allegedly, to finance media purchases in America is to import Fascism from south of the border to replace American democracy. No, thank you.
"Ricardo Patino, Ecuador's Chancellor, has said he thinks campaign donations to American politicians helped the brothers stay in the country."
