Washington DC, Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins, his boss at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), have been outed as smear artists for their efforts to do a “quick and devastating” take-down of three noted health experts who proposed fighting COVID-19 without crippling lockdowns.

THE RECORD
The already bizarre contest for a pair of state Assembly seats in Legislative District 38 took another strange twist Friday when a report surfaced that one of the two Republican candidates was charged with “attempting to cause bodily harm,” in a 2001 incident in Ocean Township.
The website PolitickerNJ reported that Mark DiPisa initially was arrested on charges of criminal mischief with damages, attempt to cause bodily harm and disorderly conduct in an Aug. 27, 2001 incident when he was a student at Monmouth University.
DiPisa shares the ballot with — but has distanced himself from — Anthony Cappola whose candidacy has been the focus of controversy over a book he wrote in 2003 that contained insults and stereotypes about African-Americans, gays, seniors, Asians and other groups.
“commie plot to undermine the morals of society”
Menendez’s Senate colleagues call for probe of alleged Cuban plot to smear him

THE RECORD
A report that Cold War animosities fueled an Internet-age attack against Sen. Bob Menendez brought new attention to the scandal that has nagged him since early last year and, with his own call for more investigation, is unlikely to end soon.
Menendez, an ardent opponent of the Castro regime in Cuba, was on the offensive Tuesday, saying revelations published by The Washington Post meant the Justice Department had to investigate whether Cuban agents were connected to a prostitution smear against him.
The CIA uncovered evidence, including Internet protocol addresses, that links Cuban agents with efforts to spread allegations to media outlets that Menendez had trysts with prostitutes at the Dominican Republic resort home owned by his friend and campaign contributor, Salomon Melgen, the Post reported on Tuesday.
The prostitution allegations were first published by The Daily Caller, a conservative website, days before Menendez’s reelection in November 2012. They burst into the mainstream media the following January, when the FBI raided the Florida office of Melgen, an eye surgeon who was later ordered to refund $8.9 million in improper Medicare payments.
The prostitutes featured in the Daily Caller story later told Dominican authorities they were paid to lie and had not met Menendez.

Robert Menendez says he’s fighting a smear campaign against ‘ridiculous’ allegations
JERSEY CITY — Saying he was the target of a yearlong “false smear campaign,” U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez on Friday blasted a television news report that said he allegedly used his office to help campaign contributors.
At events in his native Hudson County, the Democrat said he treated Roberto and William Isaias — banking magnates from Ecuador accused of embezzling more than $100 million before fleeing to the United States — like hundreds of other immigrants who came to his office seeking help.
In a report Thursday night, WNBC-TV, quoting anonymous sources, said federal authorities were conducting a criminal investigation into whether the influential senator made efforts in 2012 to win the brothers permanent residency by contacting officials at the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State in exchange for campaign contributions from the brothers’ relatives.
Menendez called the allegations “ridiculous.”
“A year after a false smear campaign was launched against me, once again we see anonymous sources,” Menendez, who now chairs the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, said at a campaign event for U.S. Rep. Albio Sires (D-8th Dist.) in Jersey City. “I wish we had these sources quoted. I’d like them to come forth.” (Friedman/Star-Ledger)
