Bob Menendez Challenges Evidence in Gold Bar Bribery Case; Believes He’ll Beat Charges and Possibly Be Reelected
Breitbart ^ | 01/24/2024 | NICK GILBERTSON

Embattled Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), accused of accepting gold bars and hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for influence, is fighting to suppress evidence from search warrants executed by the government, including the warrant that led to the seizure of hundreds of thousands in cash and gold bars from his residence.

This comes as Menendez told the Washington Post that he thinks that if he beats the three felony charges laid out against him in a September indictment quickly enough, he could win reelection to his Senate seat, though he has not formally launched a bid to this point.

The person in DC who has criticized Menendez the harshest is PA Democratic Senator John Fetterman. Who'd a thunk it?

Assuming the media accidentally got the story right, and there truly are/were hundreds of thousands of cash and gold bars in Menendez’s house, and assuming the government didn’t set him up some way (think Whitmer, Jan 6), then this guy is a lunatic because there is NO WAY a person can “normally” have hundreds of thousands in cash and gold bars in his house. Period. There is no “legal” explanation for that when your sole income is a Senator’s salary.

20 bucks says he is better than the alternatives in NJ.

Rat politicians don’t get indicted for doing wrong (they all do that), only for political reasons.

You are absolutely correct. The endemic, fixed voting fraud is so firmly established in NJ, that a Republican candidate has to win at least 57% of the vote on election day to win a statewide election.

” there is NO WAY a person can “normally” have hundreds of thousands in cash and gold bars in his house”

You are very wrong. If you don’t have at least 20k in cash and some gold and silver bars in your house you are doing it wrong.

I am sure there are a lot of people on this forum who have a large quantity of brass and lead also.

lol, couldn’t agree with you more. But, the article I’m commenting on said “hundreds of thousands of dollars and gold bars”.

That’s a whole nuther level and ball game “legally”.

Maybe scratch the paint off those brick steps in front of his house (old Hogan’s Heroes trick).

just as they knew % outcome of NH election, they are almost all set up results in advance, then they just have to add or subtract ballots to make it close when they count. It’s not often the people voting who determine who gets “elected”.

Well he IS a crooked Democrat/communist so the part about him being re-elected is probably true. It is a moot point because he won’t beat the charges.

The other rodents want Gold Bar Bob out so Doctor Sardonacus’ wife can take over. Bobby M is going to a federal prison for making bad votes not being a thief - they are all crooks.
