WilshireSen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, wife charged with bribery
Armen12I’m sure this isn’t politically motivated, the republicans would never do that
Nah, Menendez is actually corrupt, this isn’t the first time he’s been in trouble for this. New Jersey politicians in particular seem to be just shamelessly corrupt, regardless of party affiliation.
FredselfishGlad this happening but isn’t Clarence Thomas guilty of the same thing? When do wr go after him. When does the DOJ charge him.
It’s important to remember there are checks and balances in the government. So we’ll go after him when his checks stop cashing and his balance goes negative.
You will definitely never see me defend Clarence Thomas, I just needed to point out that this isn’t a partisan thing in this one specific instance. Democrats are frequently bad politicians too, it’s just not a solid requirement like it is for the GOP.
Oh I know and I agree we need hold both parties accountable. Unlike Republicans we need to have standards. Were if he was a Republican his voters would praising him and call it a witch hunt. While us on the left are like "good he needs to go to jail and be kicked from office "
But goddammit the highest court in our land justices who apparently can strip us of rights at a welm just because they want to and they allowed to continue doing same thing this senator is accused of.
I mean the fact that something is being done about a corrupt politician is almost certainly due to him being a Democrat, but the issue isn’t that he’s being charged, it’s that the corrupt Republicans aren’t.
No, this is legit, dudes kinda notoriously shady. Stopped clocks are right twice a day.
It’s coming out of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. (So, part of the Biden DoJ). I don’t think the Republicans have much to do with this.
This is his second corruption charge in a decade. Probably time to clean house in New Jersey.
in DC...
His only mistake was taking foreign money from unapproved foreign country.
KSA or UAE do the same and nobody ever gets punished or any domestic slave master.
BuelldozerRepublican’s control the DoJ?
