Several gold bars discovered by federal agents in Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez's residence as part of a high-profile bribery investigation can be traced to a violent robbery a decade ago.
According to a sprawling indictment unsealed by federal prosecutors in September, Menendez and his wife allegedly played a role in a years-long bribery scheme that involved the Egyptian government and local businessmen including Fred Daibes, a wealthy New Jersey real estate developer. Prosecutors revealed they retrieved multiple gold bars from Menendez's home which were allegedly used as payment in the scheme.
At least four of the gold bars discovered by investigators can be linked to Daibes, both because of their unique engraved serial numbers and thanks to court documents related to a 2013 robbery which Daibes was a victim of, an NBC New York investigation revealed Monday. In November 2013, four assailants beat and robbed Daibes at gunpoint in his Edgewater, New Jersey, apartment, stealing 22 gold bars, jewelry and cash.

Dumbocrat just doing what Dumbocrats do.
This sounds like the plot of a film.
I’d think that scraping off the serial number of a gold brick would be one of the easiest thing in the world to do.
This proves that menendez is a criminal and a moron.
The moral of this story is hide your gold and don’t let anyone you have any.
Not surprised but sad to see New Jersey criminals exposed.
My family had been residents of NJ since 1703!
The last in our family left in 2005.
Monmouth County farmers, originally Tories, joined the Revolution before the Battle of Monmouth.
There was Honor then. Not so much now.
So, Daibes bribed Menendez with gold bars and then claimed that the gold bars were stolen. That way, he could get his bribe reimbursed by the insurance company.

So is there an investigation? How is he not arrested for this?
In the meantime we kicked out Rep. George Santos because he’s a Republican. Okay, he’s corrupt. But we aren’t holding the Democrats accountable. Once again, we are the stupid party. The Democrats are going for broke. And they will seize total power. It may happen soon. (Maybe under President Gavin Newsom)
Receiving stolen goods, on top of taking bribes.
Basically you are indulging in fear media reporting style here. I don’t know if you see this or it’s deliberate but you’re way off, no sale with me.
You forgot what happened in 2020.
No
It was basically a coup.
It certainly is depressing, though.
We have to be smarter and better organized. So far I’m not seeing that. We have a couple of red states and the SCOTUS. We need more than that.
Will 100% of republicans expel him from congress and will 100% of he democrats do the same?
