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.

I don’t recall hearing about an early dawn raid on the Menendez estate by dozens of armed agents from the 3 letter deep state departments like we would have had he been a Trump supporter.

The Biden Crime Family took out some $20 million known so far, as bribes, and NOTHING happens to them. If they can come after Senator Menendez, for a measly few hundred thousand, how long until the Joe Stolen enterprises are put out of business?

The two-tier justice system, working precisely as planned for the “favored side”. Bob Menendez is obviously no longer held in the “favored side”, or maybe this is just a warning.

Wasn't Menendez "allegedly" involved in a nasty sex scandal involving underage girls?. He's also a militant gun control advocate. Another gun grabber behaving badly.

I was sure to check the date of the article given his long history of bad behavior.

All he needed to keep all that cash out of the house was 20 shell companies. What an idiot. He’s up there with William “Freezer Cash” Jefferson in intellect.

Who doesn’t have nearly $1/2 million in cash laying around? Totally normal!

Not.

Looks like he’s married to an Egyptian woman who introduced him to (other) Egyptian intelligence agents.
This shows that Egyptian agents are even more loyal than Chinese agents like Fang-Fang. She had to sleep with the detestable Swallwell, but that is not as disgusting as marrying a toad like Menendez.

From page 1 of the indictment...
"Those bribes included cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low-or-no-show job, a luxury vehicle, and other things of value..."
Has a familiar ring to it. Hey, Hunter! Were you in on this?

It can be tough to have all that cash if you think about it.

If I recall correctly, banks are required to file a report if you deposit $10,000 or more into a bank account.

So if you are involved somehow with some activity that deals in cash you can actually have a difficult time dealing with that cash. You can’t just put it in the bank.

I’ve never been involved with banking or those cash reports of $10,000 deposits. But just imagine if the bank were to ask you where did that money come from and why do you have such a big quantity of cash.

if you’re involved in something illegal you’re going to have a hard time explaining, if anyone did ask you to explain the source of the cash.

Yes it’s a major inconvenience when people love you so much they shove massive amounts of cash and gold bars at you, never expecting anything in return.

Poor Senator Menendez. The hardship he’s had to endure as a result of being so loved by so many persons of wealth. He is truly a great and heroic man.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(epithet)

Democrat Party is an epithet for the Democratic Party of the United States, used in a disparaging fashion by the party's opponents. While use of the term started out as non-hostile, it has grown in its negative use since the 1940s, in particular by members of the Republican Party—in party platforms, partisan speeches, and press releases—as well as by conservative commentators and third party politicians.

It's an insult, and I make sure to use it all the time to Democrats.

($480,000 in cash)

I’m about there myself.

Well, minus $479,994. But then, I’m not a Democrat.

I think I left a $5 and a $1 bill in there.
