I scratched my head and said WTF!

This story when it broke made no sense and Menendez didn’t seem to push back very hard.
Or was it the MSM which didn’t push back? or never bothered to investigate.

Maybe it would be nice if one or two reporters would do a follow up on t scam which tried to destroy the life of a Democratic Senator..

not pointing out the fact that the woman recanting her statements on video is not on the video
the 2 escorts who were making statements on video about being paid were 2 different women than the one they are reporting on
the press and the senator realize this and do not seem to feel pointing out the discrepancy will help
