Bob Menendez: "Innocent until proven guilty"
Twitter/X ^ | Sep 25 | Bob Menendez

Posted on 09/25/2023 12:50:07 PM PDT by RandFan

Sen. Menendez: "A cornerstone of the foundation of American democracy and our justice system is the principle that all people are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The court of public opinion is no substitute for our revered justice system. We cannot set aside the resumption of innocence for political expediency when the harm is irrevocable... Instead of waiting for all the facts to be presented, others have rushed to judgment because they see a political opportunity for themselves or those around them."

The only problem with is he's a senator and the Senate has rules. His colleagues want him out. They can expel him.

He surely knows this.

Just the charade of a trial is enough for most of his colleagues I think.

I dont know. Unless they think Menendez is a special case.

Thoughts on this?

This is New Jersey—jury tampering is a thing.

I like Menendez’s chances.

Anyone have a picture of the mansion he lives in on ‘public servant’ pay? Or a picture of IRS agents as they ‘realize ‘ he’s living waaaaaaaay beyond his means?

Didn’t think so.,..

The pig is a democrat so the ‘law’, FBI, IRS and DOJ don’t give a damn what he does.

I’m guessing the only reason they went after Menendez was to put the screws to Biden to resign. When Biden resigns the whole little mess of ‘selling out his country’ will go away - with the Statue of Limitations expiring... and the criminals running our institutions will all get promotions.

A citizen protesting? Rot in jail if they’re not a D.

It’s only “guilty until proven innocent” if you are a Republican.

Mendez is a crook. HOWEVER, he is pro-Isreal, anti-communist, and an Egyptian asset.

SOOooo... why now? Has the DOJ suddenly decided to straighten up and fly right? I doubt it.

My guess is that, given he is pro-Isreal, anti-communist, and an Egyptian asset, he is being thrown under the bus on orders from IRAN as part of Biden’s deal with them.

All the evil establishment Democrats want him out—so in accordance with the rule of opposites—I want him in and fighting hard....

He “saw his opportunities and he took ‘em”....

Lol.

‘He will be found not guilty..on all counts.’

Then he will get his car and money back.

...it's like calling Liberty Valance an "honest citizen".

When you are a democrap, you can talk out your ass with impunity.

Democraps are lawless because Republicants are ball-less.

Memendez in 2023: Innocent until proven guilty!

Menendez in 2019: "If that story is true, then [Trump] telling an individual [Michael Cohen] to lie to Congress, to commit perjury is clearly a felony and is clearly a crime. And in my mind, be part of raising the high crimes and misdemeanors. It’s extraordinary. It’s stunning. And it deserves to get to the bottom of, which is why Special Council Muller’s investigation needs to be protected at every cost. What is it that (Trump) is hiding that he would say to…Michael Cohen ‘do not talk about the Trump Tower in Russia’"

Screw Bob Memendez' presumption that stacks of cash and gold bars hidden his closet have an simple and innocent explanation and he's deserving of the benefit of the doubt.

Did he assume Kavanaugh was innocent? Or Trump?
