Oh wow so a D wants to get in on the sweet bribe money and suddenly it's bad?
whom amongst us hasn't accepted gold bars in exchange for substantial influence
The important difference being that Democrats would not insist supporting this guy after being indicted. Sorry but not the same
This is like the third time this guy has been indicted for corruption lol
Third?
In 2015, Menendez was indicted on federal corruption charges; the jury was unable to reach a verdict, and the charges were dropped in 2018. In April 2018, the United States Senate Select Committee on Ethics "severely admonished" Menendez for accepting gifts from donor Salomon Melgen without obtaining committee approval, for failing to disclose certain gifts, and for using his position as a senator to advance Melgen's interests. In September 2023, Menendez was again indicted on federal corruption charges, in which he was alleged to have aided and provided sensitive information to the government of Egypt.
Don't get me wrong the guy is obviously corrupt
You said Dems would stop supporting him after he was indicted, but here he is
Part of the corruption being securing a deal for some dude in New Jersey who knows nothing about halal standards to be in charge of halal meat certifications for Egypt is very funny to me.
Nothing more halal than shit tons of money since we all know that under capitalism, Capital is our god 🤑
He will get "admonished" by others who are doing the exact same shit and we'll get a few more headlines until the memory hole does its thing.
You're supposed to be so good at corruption it becomes institutionalized like Nancy:
