Sen. Bob Menendez was found guilty on all counts Tuesday in his federal corruption trial.

Federal prosecutors in New York alleged the New Jersey Democrat accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, mortgage payments and more in exchange for the senator's political clout. Three New Jersey businessmen who were also charged, along with the governments of Egypt and Qatar, were the alleged recipients. Two of those co-defendants, Wael Hana and Fred Daibes, were also convicted of all counts they faced.

The jury deliberated for about 13 hours over three days.

Menendez pleaded not guilty to 16 federal charges including bribery, fraud, acting as a foreign agent and obstruction.

And the HITS just keep on coming to the democrap party of corrupt losers!!! YOUR’RE FIRED...DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT 200,000,000 million dollars in hush money from your crime lords. HOPE THE REPUBLICANS WIN HIS SEAT!

[PermaRag]

Had to happen because:

1. He IS guilty.

2. Menendez is (for now) running as an “independent” in November to try to hold his Senate seat. This conviction should finish him or at least increase the pressure on him to drop out. If the verdict had been different he would be a serious threat to split the (considerable) left-wing vote and allow the alleged Republican to win.

He’s a crook Jim.

This time he finally got caught

So, when are the dems going to throw him out of the Senate?

[raccoonradio]

>>Sen. Cory Booker, Menendez's New Jersey counterpart, and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy joined in the calls for his immediate resignation. If the senator refuses to vacate his office, Murphy said he will call on the U.S. Senate to expel him.

Menendez will be sentenced on Oct. 29 and faces decades in prison.

[from occupied ga]

Should raise his chances of reelection in NJ by 10%. Corruption is a resume enhancer in corrupt socialist NJ.

[shanover]

He was having “inappropriate relations” with the very young for years but that was cool according to the DOJ and Senate investigators. Gold bars is the real deal evidently.

[Georgia Girl 2]

To be fair he’s been a crook for 20 years.

[Steven Scharf]

I suspect they are not passed the deadline to remove his name, but it would be best for the Republican for his name to stay on the ballot.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

And the main reason is that someone in the chain didn't get their "cut". Menendez shouldn't have been so greedy, and he would have remained a free man.

[mowowie]

Less than 10 weeks of freedom left up for the rest of his life.
Must be a great feeling....
