Doesn’t this Nia entire premise of this post? Democratic governor wants Democratic senator out, because he won’t tolerate the corruption Originally Posted by El-moWell, this isn’t the first time that Menendez was investigated for corruption. The feds deemed him innocent the first time. He’s now a liability. Guess who picks the next senator to complete Menendez’s term? Murphy. DUH. Don’t be gullible.

Mendy says he’s not stepping down. The sheer arrogance is putrid. They know they’re above the law. Wake up people.

Doesn’t this Nia entire premise of this post? Democratic governor wants Democratic senator out, because he won’t tolerate the corruption Originally Posted by El-moThe purpose of the post was pointing out how a Democrat Senator, who previously committed similar crimes, was just nailed for taking bribes and selling state secrets (just like the Senile Biden Crime Family)
The fact that the Democrat Governor of NJ called for his resignation has nothing to do with him not tolerating corruption.
It has everything to so with
1. Menendez has become a liability to Senile Biden / Obama by speaking out and opposing the disastrous Iran deal they just made
2. The Governor wanting the ability to select one of his own corrupt buddies to replace corrupt Menendez

Let's not forget - Senate Democrats chose to make corrupt Menendez Chairman of Senate Foreign Relations after the Ethics Committee unanimously found he undermined Dominican port security to enrich his crony, putting him in the position to commit his latest alleged crimes.

Because there was no conviction. I guarantee if Menendez gets convicted this time, his political career is over.

Jonathon Turley exposing how Democrats are so corrupt:
Robert Menendez broke the ‘Goldilocks rule’ of corruption
The massive indictment of Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and his wife has shaken Washington.
As Senate Foreign Relations chairman, Menendez is one of the most powerful Democratic members of Congress, and someone who has long been a kingmaker in the party. He has also long been accused of open and insatiable corruption.
What made Menendez a standout in Washington was not his corrupt inclinations, but his utter audacity in following them. I was able to witness that signature conduct personally on the floor of the Senate.
In 2010, I defended a federal judge, Thomas Porteous, in his impeachment trial, against charges that he had taken gifts and misused his office for personal gain. The curious thing about Senate trials is that you have a jury composed of people you could strike for cause in a real court. Menendez was among those sitting in judgment of Porteous, but he wasn’t just another face in the Senate crowd — he stood out. It was like arguing a piracy case with Captain Jack Sparrow sitting on the jury.
Menendez himself would later go on trial in 2017 in a major bribery and fraud case involving luxury gifts allegedly exchanged for official favors. Most of us expected the worst when, during jury deliberations, one juror asked the court, “What is a senator?” Menendez dodged the bullet. The jury hung and the Justice Department dropped all charges.
Now Menendez has been slapped with a massive new bribery indictment. The facts are all too familiar, with a long list of lavish gifts allegedly made in exchange for favors.
The indictment details gold bars, hundreds of thousands of dollars, furnishings and other gifts. His wife was allegedly actively involved in this corruption conspiracy and is also facing criminal charges.
During the Porteous trial, I noted that, at the time of the underlying acts, the senators themselves were accepting free lunches. It was not until later that the rules changed on such gifts. Menendez now stands accused of accepting a host of gifts at that time, including an $8,000 free flight in October 2010, in addition to luxury trips to Paris and a Caribbean villa.
Yet Menendez still demanded conviction for the Porteous, even though the judge was never charged with bribery, and free lunches and the other gifts would not be enough to even register with Menendez.
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.”
