After claims from anonymous escorts and then their apparently sudden retractions — plus mysterious websites, secret tipsters, and political partisans — you’d think the Robert Menendez prostitution allegations story couldn’t possibly get any weirder. And yet it just has.
A Dominican lawyer who has been at the center of the story all along is now saying that four media outlets, including conservative website The Daily Caller, asked him to help find women to lie and say they had been paid to have sex with the Democratic senator from New Jersey. This comes just weeks after the same lawyer, Melanio Figueroa, denied orchestrating the prostitution allegations.According to Jose Antonio Polanco, the district attorney for the La Romana region in the Dominican Republic, Figueroa told investigators this week that Telemundo, Univision, CNN Espanol, and The Daily Caller enlisted him to help make the video with the young women who made the claims. Polanco’s remarks were broadcast in a Univision news segment put online early Friday.
why would the daily caller have a need to block Menendez's appt., that would only benefit the republican party. if it was just money 5 grand ain't much and they could have saved a buck by not including so many cast members, when you practice to deceive the few that know the less lips flap.
“It seems clear to me Figueroa is under pressure to change his story,” Daily Caller editor Tucker Carlson said in a statement to his own website. “What I know for certain is this claim is a lie. The Daily Caller never paid anyone, was never asked to pay anyone and of course never would pay anyone for this story.”
carlson knows for a fact, the guys is a 3rd class right wing idiot, like they would trust him with the 411, drooling in his own self importance. it seems clear to him, he works with FOX.
