Congressman speculates Cuba may be behind Menendez scandal

U.S. Rep. Albio Sires today defended Sen. Robert Menendez and presented an unusual theory why the senator finds himself battling lurid accusations.
I wont even be surprised if somehow the Cuban government is involved in this to try to damage Bob Menendez because hes been so steadfast against the Castro government. Hes been a critic all his political life, Sires said in a phone interview. I would not be surprised if they are behind some of this stuff, some of these allegations. The Dominican Republic has a lot of relationships with Cuba.
Sires, who like Menendez (D-N.J). is Cuban-American, succeeded him in the House when Menendez was elevated to the Senate.

They tremble at his might!
