So Senator Menendrez is indicted for bribery and such which may or may not hold up in court. Who knows? But according to Jesse Watters et al in commentaries this week, the DOJ has had the evidence against him for a very long time now, certainly more than a year. Which raises an eyebrow or two re the timing.
Curiously the charges per CNN: Prosecutors allege the bribes included gold, cash, home mortgage payments, compensation for a “low-or-no-show job” and a luxury vehicle which sort of mimics another investigation we have been reading about in the newspaper etc. but I digress.
So maybe it is just a coincidence that they indicted him now. Or perhaps they realize how much it looks like deliberate and unethical piling on to indict Trump for something else now and they want to give the appearance of more fairness (not to mention further driving up his approval numbers)? Perhaps on short notice they couldn't find another Republican to indict?
Or perhaps they wanted the media to have something juicy to report other than the impending impeachment inquiry on Biden?
The government's use of media manipulation to direct the public's attention toward or away from things is quite real. I believe it is called 'wagging the dog.' Therefore my questions bordering on suspicions.
