Federal agents found more than $480,000 in cash 'stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing' in Sen. Bob Menendez's home, indictment says

Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey has been indicted on bribery charges.

Federal agents found cash "stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing" in his home.

This is the second time Menendez has been charged with bribery.

Federal agents found more than $480,000 in cash hidden in Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez's home, according to the newly-unsealed indictment against the New Jersey senator.

Menendez is facing bribery charges for the second time in six years.

According to the indictment, federal agents executed search warrants on the New Jersey senator's home in June 2022, where they found the "fruits" of the bribery agreement that Menendez and his wife, Nadine, had allegedly made with three New Jersey businessmen.

That included more than $480,000 in cash that was "stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe."

The indictment alleges that the fingerprints of one of the businessmen were found on some of the envelopes, and that some of the envelopes were "found inside jackets" emblazoned with Menendez's name.

The last time the FBI raided my house, they only grabbed $120,...

Wait, never mind.

This is why I don’t see how the government can eliminate cash.
Drug sales and bribes can’t have a paper or digital trail.

Look, this guy is every bit as dirty as Biden - but having cash in your house is not and should not be a chargeable offense. While I don’t have anything like that amount around my house, I don’t want the FIB and DOJ(ust us) asserting that I am guilty of something just because I choose to keep cash at home.

Gov. Murphy already has told Blob Cubano Sr. to gtfo. So Murphy obviously already has a name. This script is down-to-the-minute.

So New Jerseyites, is this going to be Scutari or will Phil be so bold as to hand it off to Rep. Blob Cubano Jr? Or Pallone? Or maybe Springsteen lofl, and he can wear the same homeless garb-age as Fetterman.

It’s one thing to have $20k in your safe, small bills, for TEOTWAWKI.

It’s a whole nuther matter to have $480k without a trail.

I have to admit that I have often found one, five, and even the occasional ten or twenty dollar bill in jacket or pant’s pockets in my home. I call it “washing machine” money and claim it as my reimbursement for washing clothes. More often than bills though, I find loose change consisting mostly of pennies.

Over the past 40 or so years, I’ve kept coffee cans in the laundry room to collect the change and since having grandchildren, I simply affix a child’s name to the can when full and place it in the cupboard in the room designated as the “gkids” room. The change, and the dollars, does add up but I doubt it will add up to the Menendez amount of $480,000. They will feel thankful if it adds up to $480.

However, I can never recall stashing large sums of money anywhere in our home other than the “emergency fund cash stash” that has always been in a specific location. That “stash” does not add up to $480,000 either. (It’s more like $500).

So, my take is if a U.S. Senator has that sum of cash money simply stuffed in pockets of clothing in his home, then corruption is somehow involved.

Wasn’t long ago on FR that this post would have drawn a few dozen humorous posts mocking such an error. Sad.
