GRA: Whom did HE double cross to get indicted? Was Biden supposed to get 10%? This is how these bastards become millionaires as our reps.
“(zh) sen. Bob Menendez (d-nj) has been indicted in new york for allegedly accepting bribes in the form of gold bars, according to federal prosecutors.
“the bars, which were valued at approximately $400,000 [N.S.: Each? Total?], were allegedly given to him by a developer and former bank chairman, Fred Daibes, a felon who was facing federal bank charges. Daibes allegedly bribed Mendez in exchange for assistance in his case.
“instead of facing over 10 years in prison, Daibes only ended up serving probation after striking an agreement with the u.s. attorney’s office in new jersey.
“‘for purposes of the federal extortion act, it makes no difference if the senator took an official act so long as he accepted the money and there was knowledge the money was in exchange for that official influence, even if he never carried out what he had promised he would do,’ according to nbc legal analyst Danny Cevallos.
“Menendez disclosed that his family had accepted gold bars in 2020. Daibes encountered bank fraud charges that could have netted him up to a decade in prison for lying about a nearly $2 million loan from mariner’s bank, where Daibes served as chairman.
“last year, however, new jersey’s u.s. attorney’s office agreed to let Daibes plead guilty to one count and serve probation. they said Daibes had repaid the loan. -fox news
“according to the report, Menendez is ‘close’ with u.s. attorney Philip Sellinger - having supported him for the position, while Sellinger had previously raised funds for Menendez’ campaign.
“officials are also looking at whether Menendez, the former chairman of the powerful senate foreign relations committee, or his wife, had improperly received gifts from a new jersey food processor who obtained an exclusive contract with the egyptian government to certify halal food experts around the world.
“egyptian officials and the new jersey businessman who received the contract were hosted by Menendez in his office in 2018, according to the wall street journal. a year later, the businessman became the ‘sole certifier of halal meat exported from the u.s. to egypt,’ the outlet noted.
nbc news 4 said the gifts included the usage of a Mercedes and a luxury Washington, D.C., apartment. investigators are attempting to resolve if Menendez, chair of the senate foreign relations committee, used his standing to help the man secure the contract.-fox news
“according to the indictment, Menendez provided ‘sensitive u.s. government information to egypt.”
GRA: The cockroach theory says he’s not the only crook in the Senate—we know that—so what happened to instigate an indictment?

Operation Preserve The Seat. Put someone else in there now and unload the baggage of a menendez '24 re-election campaign. The recipient gets the advantage of a year of incumbency and near-automatic re-election to be a lifetime Senator. Otherwise there's a risk of an AOC type winning a primary (reparations are never paid-in-full, even with cory booker holding the other Senate seat). Or their real nightmare, if the truck driver who knocked off the state senate prez a couple years ago decides to run in the general.
Senators used to be referred to as solons. Wise men. Hardly USA. This bad guy if for no other reason needs to be put away for a long time just for his obvious immense stupidity. He at least could have hid the swag at some place other than his home.
