My guess is NONE of this is unusual for congressmen, i.e. doing favors for big contributors. Menendez problem is he crossed Obama on Cuba and Iran. He is being made an example of what happens when party members “step out of line”.
Most politicians are bought for either a rich individual or a powerful entity. Bill and Hillary Clinton demonstrated how a politician could get rich and powerful by letting the world that they could be bought and paid for. All most all of the Democrats are doing this and many of the Republicans have jumped on the bandwagon.
Menendez double crossed Obama which is the only reason that he was indicted.

Cool
Bob, acting as thou you have normal sexual patterns does not endear you to your feces impacted party.
One would doubt that democrat Menendez’ conduct is any different than many other members of Congress. The difference here is that Menendez is protesting Obama’s anti Israel stand, hence the fed indictment as Obama sends the message to anyone who opposes him.
Millions of people are ignoring the immigration laws. Why pay a million in bribes to Menendez and leave a paper trail for law enforcement? He probably could have bought off Luis Gutierrez for a couple of tacos.
Interesting but is there even one criminal act outlined in this story?
When are the Feds going to go after the Kenyan for bringing in child slave labor to do the jobs that Americans feel are too degrading for THEM to do?
