Its said he cried like a baby as he was carted off to prison. A fitting end to his political career

Note he was once chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee therefore he was a high level agent of a foreign power brazenly acting against the United States!

11 years ? They would execute him in days gone by

I wonder how many other elected officials are thinking “uh oh”?

He will likely get a commutation after serving some portion of his sentence. I read that his wife is terminal with cancer; do they let incarcerated spouse out for the funerals? Prayers for all involved in this tragedy that was preventable.

There have been multiple articles about Gold Bar Bob’s sentencing since yesterday.
What is curious is NONE of them mention his political affiliation in the headline.

Former DEMOCRAT US Senator Robert Menendez.

I would suspect this is an indirect way of saying he has other information on corruption and would be willing to testify for a reduced sentence. Trump can use that.

Democrats are generally dishonest as they ie all the time.

Chuckie and Nutsy should be thoroughly investigated and jailed.

“The judge ordered Menendez to begin his prison term on June 6, allowing him to attend his wife Nadine Menendez’s corruption trial starting in March.”

Good grief really?.....SMH

If they are going to go after him then go after them ALL. All of them are guilty of ILLEGALITIES. NONE of them are ABOVE THE LAW.

Menendez is likely no more or less guilty of a crime than 95% of Democrat Senators and establishment Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham.

The real question is, what did he do to get on the wrong side of the Biden regime and Democrat party?

Three paras down: <>The judge ordered Menendez to begin his prison term on June 6.<>

Did you read the article you posted?
