But I don't see anyone complaining about... Ah, point taken.
Yeah but this fucker had been known to be corrupt for years and no one did shit about it.
Idk seems to be like the fbi during the Biden administration did something...
Menendez has been openly and obviously corrupt for almost my entire life this goes back way before Biden. Also, the FBI is supposed to be independent so while I guess as usual they did the bare minimum of not interfering I think they should have forced him out of office long before this.
If only he had waited. Bribery is legal now, right?
Magic Supreme Court Ball: Signs point to YES
Only when Papa gets his cut.
Please. The only difference between this and Congress is that they insider trade, which is legal for them and the rest of the branch.
Great! Now do the rest!
We've had Menendez, now can we have Gaetz?
I guess we did get a Santos, remember this fucker https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/08/19/george-santos-guilty/74857375007/
He was replaced by someone infinitely better so thats like a double win. Got 2 birds stoned at once

Frig off Ricky!
Can't believe this fuck tried to blame it all on his wife. If there is one way to guarantee yourself zero leniency...
I think he was blaming his wife to get off on the charges, then she would have done the same thing and blamed him… they were hoping to both get off using this tactic because you can’t be compelled to testify against your spouse. It obviously didn’t work.
Dude had wads of cash and gold bars all throughout his house lol.
From gold bars to iron bars...
Sweet. Now Trump will pardon him if he thinks he still has some of the gold.
I am thinking that's why he freed Dread Pirate Roberts. There are billions in unclaimed BTC wallets going back to his arrest time.
He won't pardon a Democrat
-
He will if he can get a gold bar out of it.
-
If Menendez does him a favor or kisses his ass on TV.
-
Menendezs son, who is in Congress does him a favor.
Look what happened to Snoop Dogg after Trump pardoned his friend.
He pardoned Rod Blagojevich
Maybe Eric Adams, but the statement arguably still applies.
He’s a democrat. That won’t happen.
He should have ran for president.
