Sen. Robert Menendez, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Wednesday called for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to recuse himself from Ukraine-related matters.
“The American people need to have confidence that the nation’s chief diplomat is making decisions based on the national interest — not to advance a partisan political agenda,” the New Jersey Democrat wrote in a letter to Mr. Pompeo. “Recusal is the only option at this point to prevent further erosion of the integrity of the U.S. foreign policy.”
Mr. Menendez also demanded the secretary of state refrain from participating in any decisions regarding Ukraine foreign policy or foreign assistance.

So Democrats want a free pass to do anything they want with no one watching (which happens most of the time anyway).

Bob needs to RESIGN from his Senate seat for all the bribes and illegal payments he took. He is a disgrace to his State and the Nation.

This is not news, since President Trump was elected the leftist and liberal Democrats have wanted the entire Trump Administration to recuse themselves from everything, and allow the Democrats to run the show. That’s not why the voters sent Trump to DC, and it is not going to happen.

LOL!
Sorry, Demonrats, that trick ONLY WORKS ONCE.......ever, and you had your shot with Sessions.

Menendez is a very corrupt guy himself, maybe some more investigation is needed.

You'd think Menendez would have the good sense to fade into the woodwork, as many ethical bullets as he's dodged. Menendez, Biden, and Hillary are living in a huge glass house and had better quit throwing stones.

Menendez can go rot. The left had many suspicious activities run through the State Department during the Obama years, and they don't want anyone finding them. Pompeo wouldn't be doing his job if he recused himself. Hope he doesn't fall for this. If he did, President Trump would be within his rights to fire him.

According to Lou Dobbs about 15 minutes ago President Trump is going to send a letter to Nancy to tell her that he and Pompeo and everyone else will not participate in any "inquiry" until she has a full house vote. Pompeo's off the hook and Nancy is going to have to change her Depends.

No one in Trumps Cabinet is recusing themselves from anything. They all saw what happened to Sessions. He let himself be browbeat by a bunch of liberal lawyers into recusing himself from the Russian Hoax investigation because he once met the Russian Ambassador at a cocktail party. All so Rosenstein could take it over. Pathetic. It won’t happen again. Menendez is a sleaze and needs to STFU.

Menendez? The guy caught with the underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic? The guy with all the evidence of corruption and bribery that was indicted and only skated a felony conviction because a liberal activist on the jury wouldn't allow an unanimous verdict? That's the guy who is now concerned with The American People's confidence? Stunning.

This from a senator who only got off on campaign violations and having sexual with underage girls because he is a democrat.

Ever since Epstein hung himself in jail Menendez has been feeling pretty cocky.
Come to think of it, Hillary seems to be jollier theses days...

By the time the few honest people in government get around to investigating and jailing all of the scum in Washington most of them will have died of old age and will have been replaced by a new batch of the same caliber.

Menendez, one of the biggest crooks in Congress. Why didn't he recuse himself from Congress and do the honest thing by "retiring to be with his family"?
