Prosecutors charge Menendez with a dozen new counts
The HIll ^ | 3/5/24 | BY ELLA LEE AND ZACH SCHONFELD

Prosecutors brought a dozen additional charges against Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), including obstruction of justice and bribery, after one of the senator’s co-defendants took a plea deal and agreed to cooperate.

Unveiled on Tuesday, the superseding indictment now charges Menendez with a total of 16 criminal counts over allegations he accepted luxurious bribes in exchange for his political influence and acted as an agent of the Egyptian government.

Menendez pleaded not guilty to the previous rounds of charges and has brushed off calls to resign from the Senate.

Many of the new counts involve alleged schemes with three New Jersey businessmen already brought to light in the senator’s previous indictments, but prosecutors now charge Menendez directly with bribery, extortion and acting as a foreign agent rather than merely bringing conspiracy charges.

I get your point, of course. The dems have obviously ‘declared war’ on the half of America that does not agree with them. Way too many examples of their war to list here.

I have no idea how our differences are ever going to be reconciled. Perhaps they are just waiting for the people with sense and a firm contact with reality to die off, so they can take over. Things may get really ugly.
