Senator and buddy of CIA terrorist threatens "any" country granting asylum to Snowden
July 8, 2013

Google translation. Revised by Walter Lippmann.

JEAN-GUY ALLARD - Known for his long friendship with Luis Posada Carriles - the torturer, terrorist, assassin and CIA terrorist- Robert "Bob" Menendez, the current head of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, threatened "serious political and economic implications for "countries that would grant asylum and protection to Edward Snowden - the CIA contractor who revealed the crimes of the agency.

Menendez is the member of the Senate who met on May 17, 2011 with Luis Posada Carriles, in a restaurant in West New York, to congratulate the old murderer for his pardon by a Texas court, an operation led by none other than Roger Noriega , the former senior State Department official. The senator is famous for his links with the mafia, both Cuban and Italian, and is a faithful ally of Miami Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the president also of the "defense fund" for Posada.

"It is clear that any acceptance of Snowden by any country, any of these three or another, is going to pit them directly against the United States. They need to know that," Menendez said, referring to Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia.

"It is very clear that any of these countries which that agree to offer political asylum are taking a stand against the United States. It is a very clear statement. I'm not surprised by the countries that are offering asylum," said the person who was involved for months in a sex scandal with underage Dominican prostitutes. The Senator was also in the headlines for his role in advocating the business interests of a wealthy donor and friend, the ophthalmologist Salomon Melgin, of Dominican origin who lives in Florida.
