Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) recently hired Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, to defend himself against federal bribery charges. Menendez served as Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee until stepping aside as a result of his recent indictment.
Lowell, who represents high-profile individuals engulfed in political scandals, represented Menendez in a prior corruption case in 2015, which ended in mistrial. His former client list includes former Sen. John Edwards, lobbyist Jack Abramoff, Bill Clinton, and Jared Kushner.

So who says defense attorneys are blood sucking, evil, criminal enabling lowlife scum?
Nature fact:
Sharks never attack lawyers.
Professional courtesy.
I love the Bee.
Oh wait this isn’t the Bee ?!??!
The court of public opinion has already rendered a verdict of “not innocent”.
Sen. Bob Menendez indicates he will not resign after indictment on bribery charges
NBC News / FR Posted on 9/25/2023, 1:46:25 PM by FarCenter
U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., suggested Monday that he will not resign from his Senate seat amid federal corruption charges and predicted he would be cleared of wrongdoing.
“I firmly believe that when all the facts are presented, not only will I be exonerated, but I still will be New Jersey’s senior senator.” Menendez told reporters at a press conference in Union City, N.J., where he once served as mayor. They were his first public remarks since the charges against him were unsealed Friday.
Menendez also offered an explanation for the $480,000 in cash prosecutors said was found in his New Jersey home, “much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe.”
Menendez maintained the money was his and had been earned legitimately.
“For 30 years, I have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings account, which I have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family facing confiscation in Cuba,” he said. “These were moneys drawn from my personal savings account based on the income I have lawfully derived over those 30 years.”
Menendez did not address that claim in his remarks and did not take questions from reporters, but said he should be presumed innocent.

How do you say you’re guilty without saying you’re guilty? :)
BIRDS OF A FEATHER
My memory is that Abbe Lowell represented Menendez in his first corruption case.. AL was on loan to Hunter Biden.
