Jesus. Some people will fall for anything, huh?

 

This guy has a long history of corruption and they caught him with literal gold bars and googling about his newly acquired gold bars. But no, it has to be some deep state conspiracy because it’s always, always, always feelings over facts for the right.

I support the prosecution of this guy if there is legitimate evidence of his corruption. Sounds like there is and his history doesn’t give him the benefit of doubt. All too often, the wealthy and politically powerful escape prosecution. Maybe the tide is finally turning.

Indicted Senator Bob Menendez to Announce Reelection Bid Monday

by Matt Margolis

 

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), who was indicted days ago on federal bribery charges, is expected to announce on Monday that he intends to seek reelection, according to a report from the New Jersey Globe. Menendez has been defiant in the wake of the indictment, claiming that he’s being targeted for being Latino. “It is not lost on me how quickly some are rushing to judge a Latino and push him out of his seat,” he said in a statement. “I am not going anywhere.” The embattled senator’s forthcoming announcement comes as several high-profile Democrats have called on him to resign from the U.S. Senate.

What’s not being mentioned here there are three Democrats and now Pelosi who are calling for him to step down

That’s what Democrats do they police their own. Meanwhile, the Republicans will look past everything so that they can try to hold onto power and they have shown that this year.

Now he claims he has been storing money in his suits :for emergencies".

Is that "walking around money"?

You know who else stored money in the walls of his business?  Stefano Magadino, the mob boss of Niagara Falls. The FBI found it in the walls of his funeral home.

As Menendez Faces Calls to Resign, Some Notable Democrats Don’t Join In

 

FTA:

 

But as the calls for Menendez to leave the Senate seat he’s held for 17 years grow louder, those who have yet to do so are becoming more notable.

They include his fellow New Jersey Democrat, Senator Cory Booker, as well as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin.

 

“Bob Menendez has been a dedicated public servant and is always fighting hard for the people of New Jersey,” Schumer wrote in a statement Friday. “He has a right to due process and a fair trial.” Schumer added that Menendez had “rightly” opted to step down from his powerful position as chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee.

No, they probably wouldn't be. The bar for members of Congress doing *anything* good is pretty low.

 

So while it's not some amazing statement that some of them are doing this, it's still better than them not calling for him to resign.

Why don't you take this to one of the other circle jerk threads about cities instead of continuing to try to derail this one?

[B-Man]

 

 

Ask yourself, why ?

 

 

 

FTA:

 

This egregious rush to judgment is enough to make us miss the days when Democrats reflexively distrusted law enforcement. Schumer and other senators should treat Menendez with the same presumption of innocence that they themselves would wish to be afforded if their own house was raided and revealed to hold several kilos gold bullion of undetermined origin.

 

In a sign of just how warped the Democratic Party's outlook on justice has become, the congresswoman and aggrieved celebrity Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) preemptively exonerated the feds on charges of racial discrimination against a fellow Hispanic lawmaker, calling the bribery allegations against Menendez "quite clear." We'd need to see some evidence before concluding Joe Biden's Department of Justice is incapable of racial bias.

 

As much as Democrats would love to preside over a justice system based solely on the pronouncements of cable news talking heads, that's just not how things work in America. We are fortunate to live in a country where defendants are presumed innocent until proven otherwise in a free, fair, and speedy trial. No one knows that better than Menendez, who urged his colleagues "to pause and allow for all the facts to be presented" while rebuffing their calls for his resignation. Menendez may even want to consider waiving his right to a speedy trial and letting this process drag out all the way through November 2024.

 

The federal government's first attempt to convict him on corruption charges ended in failure in November 2017. Several weeks later, Franken resigned from the U.S. Senate after several women accused him of sexual misconduct and his Democratic colleagues demanded a sacrifice to appease the nasty women screeching in the streets. Franken now says he "absolutely" regrets his decision, as he should, and even the New Yorker's Jane Mayer went seeking answers from his uncollegial Democratic counterparts.

 

"I couldn’t believe it," Franken told Mayer of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. "I asked him for due process and he said no." Will this man walk into the same trap?

It depends on the crime, but I completely agree with this.  The law is to be applied equally and blindly.  Wherever the facts take us on Menendez (who probably is a scumbag, based on what little I know of him) is where we land.  If that’s the joint, I hope he has a nice stay and a pleasant cell mate.

Come on man, you're smarter than this.

 

If you owned a business and one of your employees was indicted for embezzling from you, would you do nothing? Would you say "well, I'll keep allowing them access to the company accounts until they are found guilty"? Or would you restrict their access or suspend them or even fire them?

Robert Menendez Broke the Goldilocks Rule of Corruption.

 

The question is whether this level of corruption is now enough for Democrats. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) recently suggested a type of Goldilocks rule for corruption. He warned that people in Washington had better be careful if they want to crack down on the Biden family’s influence-peddling.

 

“If that’s the new criteria, there are a lot of folks in a lot of industries — not just in politics — where people have family members and relationships and they’re trying to parlay and get a little influence and benefit in that respect. That’s hardly unique.”

 

It would appear that the question is not corruption, but when a little corruption is “just right.”

 

Plus: “So get ready for politicians to suddenly declare themselves ‘shocked, shocked’ by the allegations against Menendez. These are the same people who made Menendez the head of the Foreign Relations Committee, twice. They gave him the power of leverage with countries where bribery is an accepted practice. It was like making a known arsonist the CEO of the International Paper Corporation. In the end, the problem is not Menendez. It is the array of other politicians who enabled him while dismissing his reputation for corruption. To use Newsom’s words, Menendez is ‘hardly unique’ for cashing in on his position. That is precisely the problem.”
