Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, wife charged with bribery
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/22/sen-...h-bribery.html
The indictment says that the Democrat Menendez and his wife from at least 2018 through 2022 accepted “hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for using Menendez’s power and influence as Senator” to benefit the men and Egypt.
The indictment says that during a June 2022 raid on the Menendezs’ New Jersey home and a safe deposit box, federal agents found cash, gold and a luxury vehicle that were the “fruits of [the couple’s] corrupt bribery agreement” with the businessmen.
“Over $480,000 in cash — much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe—was discovered in the home, along with over $70,000 in Nadine Menendez’s safe deposit box,” the indictment said.
“Some of the envelopes contained the fingerprints and/or DNA of Daibes or his driver,” the charging document said.
In addition to the cash, agents also seized 81.5 ounces of gold bars, which at current prices are worth about $155,000.

What?!? whell posting a link to an article from a "Lefty" news organization? What?!? A lefty news organization posting a story about a corrupt Democrat. I think the devil just felt a chill.
I'm going to bet nowhere will be seen calls to defund the prosecutors. Nowhere to be seen will be attacks on the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan. Nowhere will be claims of weaponization of the prosecution. From nowhere will you see the Democratic party leadership rushing to his defense. He will be tried and if the evidence warrants it he'll be convicted. That's how the Dems roll.

Huh. So, all that Reich-wing whining about a "two-tiered" justice system was just lies, Whell? You must be so embarrassed for your MAGA compatriots.
Anyway, Faux "News" will have this on repeat for the next 6 months...

Two bullshit posts and one relevant post.
If Menendez were a Repub, the Dems and the media would have been screaming for his resignation since the underage prostitute story emerged in early 2013, and they'd have doubled down in 2015 when he was accused of bribery the first time. They wouldn't have waited until the indictments ever became convictions.

You are still missing the point though.
Anyone here bitching, whatabouting or suggesting that he should not be indicted and prosecuted? No. Therein lies the difference.
Why it took this long, we will find out soon enough. During an ongoing investigation, very few details usually leak.
OTOH, we have Trumpers trumpeting on their T-shirts claiming Trump did nothing wrong. How does that come about.

I think the Democrats have learned the lesson from the Republicans on handing issues of integrity and corruption.
The days of Senator Al Franken stepping down are long gone. Fight till the bitter end.

Yep. Bob Menendez has been a dead man walking for some time now and unlike the GQP nobody is leaping to his defense.
Who takes fricking gold bars as a bribe? (grin)

Trump NFT's had not been minted then would be my guess. (wink)
Surprised that they have appreciated and holding their value.
