U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, just a few months after surviving a federal corruption trial that threatened to land him behind bars, is scheduled to announce Wednesday that he will seek another six-year term.

The New Jersey Democrat, 64, will kick off his campaign in Union City, his hometown, at an event attended by U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, Gov. Phil Murphy and other “prominent New Jersey Democrats,” according to an advisory from his campaign.

Menendez’s main opponent come November will likely be the well-funded Republican Bob Hugin, a Marine Corp veteran and former pharmaceutical executive who, like Menendez, ascended to great success from humble beginnings in Union City.

The “kick off” party looks like a “who’s who” of criminal figures.

Hoping for the return of the rule of law in this country is like “pining for the fjords” I guess.

I thought they declared a mistrial. Don’t they usually get a do-over?

Thugs supporting a thug.

This guy should be in jail, not running for ANOTHER cushy term as Senator.

Menendez might not be the right guy for the job but the charges against him were bogus. But that's what happens to a Democrat who stands up to Obama on Israel and on Cuba.

ML/NJ

That depends on the prosecutor involved. Sometimes they decide it isn’t worth another trial.

Yes, let’s have a senator who believes he’s been elected to help his friend in Florida and have sex with underage girls.

Yep. Menendez supported democratic Israel and did not support totalitarian Cuba, so he had to be destroyed by totalitarian Obama and DNC thugs.

I absolutely hate politicians, and for that matter pretty much all government. This is just another reason.

On the one hand I do not like Menendez.

On the other hand there are worse characters in Congress who manage to escape DOJ prosecution. Or was it persecution by the Obama DOJ because Menendez opposed Obama’s deal with Iran?
