NEW YORK, July 16 (Reuters) - The jury has reached a verdict in U.S. Senator Bob Menendez's criminal trial on charges of selling his power in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes including gold bars and cash, a court official said on Tuesday. The verdict is expected to be read shortly in Manhattan federal court.
Menendez, 70, has pleaded not guilty to 16 criminal counts including bribery, fraud, acting as a foreign agent and obstruction. Federal prosecutors argued during the trial that the New Jersey Democrat sought to help Egypt secure billions of dollars in U.S. military assistance and aid the business and legal interests of three businessmen.

“Will Democrats remove him if he is convicted?”
They will just schedule him to get work releases to be able to vote..
Why bother pulling him? He is just extorting and stealing on a smaller scale than what they are generally used to.

They can’t scream 34 counts if they don’t. He’s running as an Independent. We have to try.

Maybe they’ve already worked him over once but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t work him over again.
