“A press event will be held today at 11:00 am to announce the unsealing of an indictment charging Robert Menendez, US Senator from New Jersey, and his wife, Nadine Menendez, with bribery offenses in connection with their corrupt relationship with three New Jersey businessmen,” says the Southern District of New York’s Twitter account on yet another set of charges for Menendez.
The indictment’s already been made public and alleges Menendez accepted “hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes in exchange for using Menendez’s power and influence as a Senator to seek to protect and enrich [corrupt businessmen Wael Hana, Jose Uribe, and Fred Daibes] and to benefit the Arab Republic of Egypt. Those bribes included cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low-or-no-show job, a luxury vehicle, and other things of value.”
Yeah, fuck this guy. The last time Menendez was indicted Chris Christie was the governor and would’ve appointed a Republican to the seat if he’d resigned. That’s not the case anymore and we feel pretty confident there’s plenty of decent, electable Democrats in the Garden State who could take over and win a special election easily to maintain the Dem Senate majority. Time to walk the walk on integrity in contrast to the MAGA party and send this corrupt asshole packing.
