Did the Daily Caller Pay Prostitutes to Lie About Sen. Menendez?

The Daily Caller’s hit piece on Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez is blowing up in their faces, as more evidence emerges that their big expos� was a fraud: Dominican Official Links Daily Caller to Alleged Lies About Menendez.

A top Dominican law enforcement official said Friday that a local lawyer has reported being paid by someone claiming to work for the conservative Web site the Daily Caller to find prostitutes who would lie and say they had sex for money with Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.).

The local lawyer told Dominican investigators that a foreign man, who identified himself as “Carlos,” had offered him $5,000 to find and pay women in the Caribbean nation willing to make the claims about Menendez, according to Jose Antonio Polanco, district attorney for the La Romana region, where the investigation is being conducted.

The videotaped claims of two women, made with their faces obscured, were posted last fall on the Daily Caller. The site reported that “the two women said they met Menendez around Easter at Casa de Campo, an expensive 7,000-acre resort in the Dominican Republic. . . . They claimed Menendez agreed to pay them $500 for sex acts, but in the end they each received only $100.”

The Daily Caller issued a statement Friday saying that the information allegedly provided by the Dominican lawyer, Melanio Figueroa, was false.

The Daily Caller said: “At no point did any money change hands between The Daily Caller and any sources or individuals connected with this investigation, nor did anyone named Carlos travel to the Dominican Republic on behalf of The Daily Caller. As recently as two weeks ago, Figueroa was on record with another news outlet as saying the women he represented were telling the truth about their initial allegations against Senator Mendendez.”

Said local lawyer squealed because the Daily Caller ended up only paying him $1,000.

It might not have been the Caller. They just may have fallen for it because it’s what they wanted to hear and didn’t bother to do any, you know, journalism.

It could have been someone who just knows what the right-wing media is like— completely without any sort of ethics or morals when it comes to verifying stories— and got the women to lie.

But it also could have been the Daily Caller. It’s the kind of ham-handed idiocy I’d expect out of Tucker.

So, they didn’t engage in “money chang[ing] hands” and they don’t have a bagman named Carlos who traveled to the DR for them. Even if their denials were true they don’t amount to a denial. (They used an electronic payment … he wasn’t named Carlos … he was already in the DR … use your imagination.) Reading these people’s crap is just a game of “spot the lies”. You’re not supposed to take any of it seriously.

Nope. Just claim it (and yell about it) without the nuance of the timeline. It’s *accurate* that the Aurora (alleged) murderer is Muslim. The fact that he converted after committing the crime doesn’t matter since it was obviously already in his heart.

And then immediately move on to the next outrage once the page hits have occurred and the advertising revenue raked in.

Exactly and besides plenty of non-criminals convert to Islam all the time. If Holmes converted to Islam, it proves nothing. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a convert to Islam as are Dave Chappelle and others. To expand on that, though, Jeffrey Dahmer became a born again Christian in prison. Does that invalidate Born Again Christianity?

I’m shocked. Shocked that the Daily Caller could have put hookers up to lying about Menendez. /

There are any number of entities and groups that might have been motivated to smear Menendez, the Daily Caller included. But the WaPo is pointing this squarely at the Daily Caller.

And it’s not surprising that the Daily Caller is busy spinning that Figueroa is being pressured into claiming that the Daily Caller paid him off to get the hooker claims going.

Earlier this week, Dominican police said three women were paid to lie about having sex for money with Menendez and a close friend. The police cited statements from the women and other evidence.

National police spokesman Maximo Baez Aybar told a news conference Monday that authorities had determined the women were paid hundreds of dollars by a local lawyer to make the false claims in videotaped interviews. The women said the lawyer coached them on what to say in their recorded statements, taped in a Dominican shopping mall in La Romana province. The women each said they were paid between $291 and $413 to say that they were paid them for while the senator vacationed in the Dominican Republic with Melgen. Each of the women told police they had never met either Menendez or Melgen.

For his part, Menendez is now calling for US prosecutors to go after who was behind the smear job. While the hooker scandal portion was always a smear job, Menendez does face real trouble relating to acting on behalf of Melgen. There were travel expenses that he reimbursed earlier this year (about $60k) because they would have violated the ethics rules.

The scandal may relate back to local politics:

The Daily Caller allegations were cited in a letter to the Senate’s ethics committee seeking an investigation that was written by, state Sen. Sam Thompson, R-Middlesex, a New Jersey political ally of Menendez’s opponent in November.

In an interview in Trenton on Monday, Thompson stood by his complaint about the flights, even as he claimed it did not mention prostitutes.

“I have no knowledge of anything about the women involved in prostitution. I did not make any allegations on them,” Thompson said. “My complaint was that we had valid indications he had taken these flights he had not reported them, he had not requested approval.”

The first paragraph of Thompson’s Nov. 3 letter, however, accuses Menendez of violating codes of conduct by taking the flights and “soliciting prostitution.”

The second paragraph includes this sentence: “If Senator Menendez solicited prostitution while a member of the United State Senate, this conduct would be reprehensible.”

Thompson is also Republican chairman of Middlesex County and for many years served as an assemblyman in the same district as state Sen. Joseph Kyrillos, R-Monmouth, who ran against Menendez last year.

Kyrillos got crushed last November, and the Thompson letter to the Senate Ethics Committee may have been part of payback for that loss.

It still doesn’t address who was behind the money but as most people are fond of saying, you’ve got to follow the money where it leads. And it may be that the Daily Caller was trying to gin up a controversy, or they themselves were used to attack Menendez.

Let’s leads us into the Daily Caller being caught in the “incompetent, or criminal; choose one” dilemma. Either criminal in trying to set up a smear job, or being totally incompetent as journalists and getting completely played by someone else into heavily taking part in a smear job.

If I recall correctly most parties caught in this trap either choose incompetent, or the third approach, “bluster and hope it goes away”.

SC Lawmaker Gave Rush Limbaugh’s Guest Host A $6,400 Plane Ride And Stuck Taxpayers With The Bill

South Carolina state Rep. Bill Chumley really hates the Affordable Care Act. So much so that he introduced a wildly unconstitutional bill that would imprison any federal official who enforces Obamacare in the state of South Carolina for up to five years.

Chumley, however, isn’t just wasting the state legislature’s time with unconstitutional fantasies about nullifying health reform and giving big government’s employees their comeuppance, he also wasted taxpayer money shuttling a questionable “expert” into the state to testify in favor of his proto-Confederate proposal:

Rep. Bill Chumley of Woodruff brought Walter Williams from a suburban Washington airport to push for a bill that initially sought to nullify the federal health care law. The state planes’ four legs — to a Manassas, Va., airport and back, to pick up Williams and return him — would have cost a paying passenger nearly $6,400, according to the state Aeronautics Commission’s manifest and flight log.

Williams, a syndicated columnist and radio commentator who sometimes fills in for Rush Limbaugh, is well known for advocating state measures attempting to nullify the federal law.

Chumley again dismissed requests that he reimburse the state, calling Williams’ testimony official state business.

The real reason is that members of Congress are getting complaints from constituents who are not able to get their tours as a result of the sequester, so they’re getting an earful in their DC offices. The WH tours have to be scheduled through Congressional offices months in advance, so people who planned trips ahead of time are out of luck.

The members have to be the ones to tell their constituents that they can’t do the tours.
