Senator Menendez: He has risen despite defying alliances. – New Jersey
“Menendez, 52, is a fighter. He learned politics in Hudson County – the iron maiden of Jersey politics. One of his first lessons was discovering that his mentor, former Union City Mayor William V. Musto, was a crook, and he helped send Musto to jail – testifying in the kickback trial even though he had to wear a bulletproof vest because of threats to his life.
“The prosecutors used him,” Musto disgustedly told The Inquirer in 1982. “Now he’s finished.”
In fact, Menendez was just starting.”
