A federal grand jury in New York has returned an indictment against United States Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., chairman of the powerful Foreign Relations Committee.
The investigation focused on a luxury car, gold bars and an apartment allegedly received by Menendez and his wife, Nadine Arslanian. His wife was also indicted. The indictment charges Menendez, 69, and his wife with having a corrupt relationship with three New Jersey businessmen -- Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daides. The indictment accuses Menendez and his wife of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes

Lol, another bite at the apple. He already beat one case where he was guilty as you know what. Remember he's a democrat. Democrats don't go to jail. Get it yet.

The question is what did he do to get on the Biden regime's bad side? They must want to replace him with a more pliant democrat.

Hey look! A squirrel is scampering up a tree!!
My cynical mind is telling me that this is misdirection from the latest Humper indictments.
Menendez has been crooked forever.
Why now?!

The DOJ must be desperate to get some credibility. Granted. Mendez is low hanging fruit. They are all crooked but he is in-your-face about it like the Bidens. And still he keeps getting elected.

Hey, Bob.
Call up Hunter and Joe. They got attorneys that can get you out of any mess. Might cost you a few of those gold bars, though. And that's over and above what the attorneys will cost.

I live in New Jersey, and Bob Menendez is a man of integrity and courage!
Well, at least for New Jersey.
He has in the past voted counter to the Democrat line, though that may be because he's cheaper than the others to buy off

Deja vu in New Jersey. Maybe some of those gold bars and other trinkets helped to lead to the outcome of his trial last time he was accused of the same thing! A Zebra (donkey Democrat in disguise) does not change it's stripes.

I see an Agnewesque distraction from the Hunter investigation, When the smoke clears, Menendez will walk.

Not nearly as crooked at Joe, but the overwhelming majority of the DC Uniparty Criminal Cabal (DCUCC) are taking bribes and working for someone other than their "constituents".
And they have been working steadily to prevent citizens voters from having any influence on whether they are "elected" or not. Illegals voting and phantom voters in crooked elections keeps them in power for life

How many more in the Senate are there? Some are more sophisticted than others. Some, who grew up outside the political class and DC world, made their money the old fasnioned way--Ron Johnson come to mind. Our founding fathers envisioned a Senate of accompiished, landowers, captains of industry who served a part time job as overseers of a constitutional republica. Now, we have a Senate full of career errand boys, who moved from college republican door knockers, envelope stoffers and cold callers to unprincipled hacks who take directions from guys in private jets and lives that would not hold up to public scrutiny and financial review. All Hail the Bob Mendezes of the world. Meawhile, Orange man bad.

Didn't this come out years ago? In addition to his relationship with the pedo Jeffery Epstein and Lolita Express? Democrats circled the wagon and got him re-elected. Go, figure!!

A caption on two evidentiary pictures: "A photo of a jacket and cash from the indictment of Sen. Bob Menendez, found during a 2022 search by federal agents. Investigators found over $480,000 in cash in his New Jersey home.
U.S. Southern District of New York"
Menendez has been suspected of corruption for years but not charged. Why now? Is something else damaging to the administration about to come out? Another thing: Wasn't Menendez tied to the Lolita Express and Epstein's Caribbean Underage Island? (That info is under lock and key, probably in a nuclear safe bunker in Davos. If that leaks, a lot of famous people are finished.) I always thought Moon Man Menendez looked like he belonged in a space suit and fish tank helmet, circa 1970. Maybe he'll take a rocket out of this place if the heat gets too uncomfortable. We should be so lucky.

This aids the politicized DOJ maintain an appearance of impartiality.
Truth is this man will skate, as he's done before and the DOJ will continue to over-charge and over-sentence conservatives as a warning to the rest to "shut up."

When stuttering stupid Martha McCullum was talking about this, I thought she was babbling about Hunter the drug addict and his father the part time resident in the WH.

Crooked Bobby Menendez is very lucky. He represents the population of the state with the lowest collective IQ on the planet....the disgrace formerly known as New Jersey. The corruption of the state govt is breath taking....and the imbeciles who live there continue to elect the same party again and again.

Like one of the ladies on Outnumbered said: Menendez is an old time, old fashion crook. No off shore bank accounts like the Biden Crime family, just in your face with money, moola, dollars stuffed in clothing, gold bars in the house. How quaint!

Will Menendez get a Hunter Biden / Ray Epps type plea deal or be treated like a J6 prisoner and kept in a rat infested dungeon and have the book thrown at him?

Help me out here. Didn’t Menendez recently make a statement on some issue that agreed with a conservative position? Whatever it was, he went off the reservation and had to be punished. I remember that it happened but forget what it was he spoke on. Please help me.

Now the NJ Gov now wants Menendez to resign. He must have his own little puppet waiting in the wings for a Senate appointment. Menendez's term ends in 2024 - so they want to oust him now,

Just another feint to “prove” they go after both sides. “Look,” they will say. This shows we are even handed. BS. They figured Bob was so bad that they could sacrifice him and install another real Marxist in his place.
