Disgraced Democratic Senator Robert Menendez is scheduled to resign from office Tuesday, and is negotiating a pardon from Joe Biden before the president leaves office at the end of the year, according to political analysts and longtime associates of the New Jersey lawmaker.
Menendez’ was convicted last month on 16 felony counts of bribery and corruption for accepting cash and gold in exchange for using his powerful post to enrich and protect three businessmen and the Egyptian and Qatari governments.
“He’s likely trying to get a pardon or a reduction in his sentence,” said a New Jersey political operative who did not want to be identified.
“Bob Menendez doesn’t do things without getting something back, and at this point I would think he would want to get out of the way to spare his kids the embarrassment, and maybe even help his wife.”
Menendez could face over 200 years in prison when he is sentenced in October.
Menendez had been running as an independent in November’s election but dropped out of the race last week, paving the way for Democratic frontrunner Andy Kim to take his old seat.
Sources said dropping out was likely Menendez’s last bargaining chip. Had he stayed in the race, Democrats worried he could split the vote, resulting in a victory for the Republican candidate Curtis Bashaw.
His wife, Nadine Arslanian, has also been indicted on corruption and bribery charges although her trial has been postponed indefinitely as she undergoes treatment for breast cancer.

Well, that’s what Hunter will surely get.
He’s angling to keep the bounty
Joe speaks to his longtime friend: Bob (Gold Bar!) Menendez.
“Of course, I’ll write a pardon for you, Bob. We’ve been pals forever, right?
Oh, and, exactly how many of those ‘Gold Bars’ DO you have, Bob? Not that it matters any. Jill wants to know.”
The Democrats march in lockstep.
The gold bars go to Joe and Bob gets the pardon. Joe pardons himself as well. What a deal.
Maybe Biden will choose to keep it simple, and just pardon every registered Democrat in the country.
So why is Joe Biden leaving office at the end of the year?
There was a time when “Gold Bar Bob’s” treasonous neck would’ve been hung long ago.
Helping foreign governments can be treason.
Treason should not be pardon-able.
"10% to the big guy"
Let’s bring back Old Sparky! We could keep him running for decades.
Yes of course! That pardon will cost 3 Gold Bars.

Even if pardoned for the Federal crimes, there’s always state crimes he can be prosecuted for. I doubt he declared the money and other valuables on his state income tax return.
Give the people their money and gold back, Bob!
There is a Higher Court with a Higher Judge; I pray he repents before he gets to Him.
