As reported earlier, former Democrat Senator Bob Menendez, 71, sobbed in court as he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for bribery and corruption.
A tearful Menendez sobbed as he begged SDNY Judge Sidney Stein to have mercy on him.
The judge showed no mercy to “Gold Bar Bob” and sentenced him to 11 years.
Last summer a jury convicted Senator Bob Menendez on all bribery and corruption charges.
The jury returned the verdict following a 9-week trial. Menendez did not testify.
In October 2023 Bob Menendez was charged with acting as a foreign agent in a superseding indictment.
The indictment filed by a federal grand jury in Manhattan claims Menendez “provided sensitive U.S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the Government of Egypt.”
Menendez was previously hit with a second superseding indictment for praising Qatar in exchange for luxury watches.
Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine Menendez were charged with obstruction of justice in an 18-count indictment.
Special agents discovered $500,000 of cash stuffed into envelopes in closets. “Some of the cash was stuffed in the Senator’s jacket pockets. Menendez’s wife Nadine Menendez was given a “no-show” or “low-show” job, a Mercedes Benz and other things of value, US Attorney Damian Williams said last year.
The judge told Menendez that the jury was right to convict him.
Following his brutal sentencing, Menendez stunned reporters as he praised President Trump.
“President Trump was right. This process is political, and it’s corrupted to the core. I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores the integrity to the system,” Menendez said.
This is rich coming from Menendez after he voted to convict President Trump during the scam impeachments.

Judge Stein: You lost your chairmanship, your Senate seat & your good name. You've become a national punchline, Mr. Fee stated it [Gold Bar Bob]. You became, I'm sorry to say, a corrupt politician, helping to feed the cynicism of the electorate that taints others— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) January 29, 2025
Judge Stein: Almost half a million dollars in your house, cash stuffed in shoes, gold bars... Hubris, you'll have to figure it out yourself. General deterrence is important. The sentence I intend to impose is 11 years— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) January 29, 2025
Judge Stein: Since you do not have the resources of Mr. Daibes or Mr. Hana, I am not going to impose any fine on you, Mr. Menendez— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) January 29, 2025
Menendez is a low grade sociopath, a fine role model for aspiring democrat politicians.
Part of me is shocked that he wasn’t among the pardon recipients, ya know?
It was because he actually got caught so badly that even Biden thought he was stupid...............
I wonder where he will end up ?
Lewisburg, PA
Danbury, CT
He is not a dangerous felon.

I grew up with an officially diagnosed sociopath.
Menendez is just a punk................

Well aware, but we also know that there were others making the list of pardons.
I bet his name came up. It would be interesting to know who said “No.”
Following his brutal sentencing, Menendez stunned reporters as he praised President Trump. “President Trump was right. This process is political, and it’s corrupted to the core. I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores the integrity to the system,” Menendez said.
So transparent——he’s looking for a pardon from Trump.
Ill bet every Senator and most high level deep staters have the same closet. It’s their equivalent of a bug out bag.
A poor politician is a poor politician indeed.
> It was because he actually got caught so badly … <
The smart crooks hide their money in offshore accounts. The dumb ones hide their money in envelopes at their house.
Menendez was one of the dumb ones.
Finally! Some crooked scumbag politician gets convicted. Menendez has been screwing the country for years, along with his wife. Hope his new prison name is “bitch”, but he’ll probably wind up in some country club prison.
Menendez can save his soul if he starts giving us the inside scoop on the Democrats.
He’d better “watch his six”, if you catch my drift.
since he spewed smear on President Trump as he was hauled away
he will probably be rewarded and moved to a club med 1st, given a name change and new identity, and turned loose to live life to its fullest .
I think he knows that if he squeals he’ll not live long..............
Menendez did not commit suicide.
