Sen. Bob Menendez may call a federal prison home if prosecutors prove he accepted bribes to do favors for a wealthy businessman.
But you wouldn’t know that if you tuned in to Bloomberg TV last week to watch the New Jersey Democrat discuss a Securities and Exchange Commission nomination.
The reporter didn’t mention the case.
And there was nothing remarkable about the omission. Menendez regularly appears on cable news programs without viewers being told he faces felony corruption charges.
CNN’s Jake Tapper didn’t mention the prosecution during a 10-minute interview on March 13 that focused on health care policy. Nor did MSNBC’s Katy Tur in a March 3 interview about investigation of Russian actions during the 2016 presidential election.

Not really, Menendez’s crimes are small potatoes compared to the Clinton’s.
From the article: “The U.S. Senate is a big club. If one member is accused, all of the others fear they could be next.”
Yes, well, that IS the problem isn’t it?
They are running out the clock hoping a dem President will get elected to pardon him. One more reason they can’t get over President Trump winning.
Dems are corrupt down to their socks but they aren’t stupid and they have very good lawyers advising them who are also dem and corrupt down to their socks but know how to stay just inside the lines of law.
It’s been a long time since the last time I heard senator Boob Ez is under criminal charges. They are taking their sweet time about it.
He resigns in Sept and Christ appoints himself for the next year. Goes Democrat in 18’. Most fun that way.
On 2nd thought why can’t Trump make him an offer he can’t refuse?
i thought the charges were brought by Dem BO to retaliate against Menendez’s stance on Iran deal and policy towards Israel in general. i don’t know if there is really a case - it looked like revenge prosecution. but i have lost the thread and defer to someone with more knowledge.
He’s a Democrat. He gets a pass.
Isn’t his Doctor buddy the one who blinded people with his overpriced injections paid by medicare?? Had dinner with a fella who was/got legally blinded by that doctor.....
Charlie Rangel was found guilty on 11 of 13 counts of ethics violation by a House ethics committee subpanel. What happened to him? Nada! The Democrats are always given a pass on crimes because the Republicans have no balls to pursue charges, much like all the crimes committed by the Democrats that have surfaced this year alone and are being ignored.
I care. This is exactly what Mueller is trying to do to Trum
Obozo wanted Menendez made an example of
He’s a Democrat politician, he’s expected to be a corrupt law breaker. I think it’s a requirement.
They should get him to snitch on the rest of the Dems he has dirt on.
When the roll is called the Senators don’t know whether to answer “here” or “not guilty”.
Most politicians from Nu Joisy are pure scum like Magic Negro Booker, The Torch,The Laut,Corzslime and former Faggity Home Wrecker McGreedy. The list is endless. Trenton is a cesspool and South Jersey needs to exit below armpit Camden. I hate this state and can’t wait to go to a free state.
No. He's a democrat. Next question.
If the guilty are not punished, evil will proliferate. This is what is happening in our country and it will bite us in the.......
A common sentiment here in NJ - and the last generation of Americans here is taking heed, moving on to greener pastures. 20 years ago I could still see many people I’d grown up/gone to school with; now so many have evacuated. The economic collapse in the northeast has driven out the best & brightest, and keeps others from coming...
We certainly do not see this story...every night...on #FakeNews CNN.
