Earlier this year federal agents discovered Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta, an intern for U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ,) is not just a convicted sex offender, but also in this country illegally.
A convicted sex offender working in an office with young women is a dangerous situation.
Naturally, federal agents moved quickly to arrest and deport the criminal.
One problem.
Senator Menendez is up for election this year. Democrats stood to lose control of the U.S. Senate if a Democrat got bad press.
So the Obama White House blocked federal agents from arresting a sex offender working next to young women because it might hurt Democrats' chances of controlling the Senate.
Those federal agents contacted the AP to blow the whistle on Democrats harboring criminals and delaying arrests.
