Defiant Democratic Senator Bob Menendez is 'outraged' and 'angry' after 14-count corruption indictment charges him with bribery, fraud and helping donor's THREE girlfriends get travel visas

An angry Sen. Bob Menendez said Wednesday night that prosecutors who charged him with 14 federal corruption crimes 'are dead wrong.'

Menendez, a powerful Democrat accused of using his office to improperly benefit a political donor.

A Newark, New Jersey federal grand jury on Wednesday accused the New Jersey Democrat of bribery, honest services fraud, conspiracy, violating the federal Travel Act, and making false statements.

'I am confident,' Menendez said, straining to speak over loud applause. 'At the end of the day I will be vindicated and they will be exposed.'

The senator had to ask for quiet as cheers and chants of 'Si, se puede!' turned his defiant press conference into a political circus.

Menendez 'planned the personal trip to Paris to spend a weekend with a woman with whom he had a personal relationship,' federal prosecutors wrote in the charging document.

At least he had a good time.

The real purge begins at noon 20 January 2017.

It applies to all federal employees who obeyed their orders at the expense of the requirements of the law and the Constitution.

We may not be able to impeach him (requires 67 senators), but that doesn’t protect his enablers.

If Scooter can be screwed, so can they!

I wish he does the brave thing, the noble thing and say that from the witness stand.

No chance he will, though.

I doubt Menendez even understands what is happening to him.

He slithered on stage and gave the same speech Torricelli used when he got caught.

This is not a Purge, this toad has done the trained seal act on command, clap & wave, for Jug Ears since ‘08, this is a long time coming, he is dirty from the time he was the Mayor of Union City.

I have met him, he is creepy...very creepy.

It took 9 posts to bring out the truth

A vindictive and childish President couldn’t take the heat brought by Menendez and is attempting to get rid of him for words on Israel and Iran.

It was noted yesterday that it could be costly when Menendez votes against the nomination of Lynch for attorney general.

Over on the Breaking News thread, it was pointed out that Menendez was defiant on Cuba as well.

This is the Chicago Way: “What, youse thinkin’ of arguin’ wif da Messiah? Remember whut happend to Menedez, youse want da same?”

Menendez’s only hope is that he has dirt on Bill and Hillary that he can trade for his neck...

A trial, conviction and hanging can stop that outrage stuff.

Ranchers hang coyote pelts on the fence as a message. The Klown is hanging a Senator pelt. It will work, too. Because most of them are as corrupt if not more so.

Swap out Menendez for Jeffrey Epstein.
