Cuban Spies Plant Disinformation About Menendez in Right Wing Media

...the senator’s attorney asserts that the plot was timed to derail the ­political rise of Menendez (D-N.J.), one of Washington’s most ardent critics of the Castro regime. At the time, Menendez was running for reelection and was preparing to assume the powerful chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

According to a former U.S. official with firsthand knowledge of government intelligence, the CIA had obtained credible evidence, including Internet protocol addresses, linking Cuban agents to the prostitution claims and to efforts to plant the story in U.S. and Latin American media.

Former Daily Caller reporter no-comments latest allegations in Menendez case

The Daily Caller’s story on Menendez and the Dominican prostitutes long ago passed beyond salvation.

I know this hit the g.d. when hit first hit - so I want folks to see what really happened here.

People need to know about a little thing called vindication.
