Menendez didn't follow the rest of the libs in Obama's line of loyals therefore the DOJ is lashing out. But Lois Lerner, no she's A OK!

@ACUConservative Menendez questions regime policy & gets indicted; Lerner tows the party line & she gets a free pass! #MostCorruptInHistory

Lois Lerner toes the party line and skates. Sen. Bob Menendez strays and pays the price.

Menendez speaks out against POTUS, fed indictment. Lois Lerner attacks conservatives using IRS, no indictment. Tow the line or do the time

Lois Lerner toes the line protecting administration = no charges
Sen. Menendez speaks out against Iran and Cuba policies = charges

It sure does. Guess Sen. Menendez should’ve taken a page from Lois Lerner’s Obama-Approved Playbook, huh?

Considering Lois Lerner gets off scot free, #Menendez charged AFTER going against POTUS, if this isn't tyranny, I don't know what is
— Just.In.Liberty (@jphilman0206) April 1, 2015
IRS targeted conservatives, DOJ refuses to prosecute Lerner but goes after Obama critic Menendez…..almost a Nixonian feeling in the DC air

Senator Menendez indicted on federal corruption charges. Did he do anything worse than Hillary? Lerner? He just didn't play ball w/ Obama.

When Senator Menendez gets charged but Lois Lerner from the #IRS doesn't get charged, we got big, BIG problems.

Great day for DOJ.
Lying obstructionist Lerner gets a pass.
Menendez, who opposes Iran deal: Indicted.I effing give up.

Lois Lerner is free and Sen Menendez is indicted. This is the most petty and politicized presidency. Ever.
