It’s about time this long-time crook FINALLY got convicted of something. Seems like every 6 months there’s a scandal around this guy.

You’ve got to have some cold hard currency on hand for a rainy day.

The guys is scum. Always has been. Proud to say I’ve never voted for him and hope he and his wife rot in jail. God knows what he has stolen from this State.

Bob Menendez is the “gold standard” for Dimocrat politicians.

My favorite line from the closing argument:

Mr. Fee also argued that the cash and gold had not been bribes but generous gifts to Ms. Menendez in “lean times.”

And he said it without sounding sarcastic!

How does he lose his seat? Does Schumer have to do something?

Is Bob going to give a big “F-— You” to Schumer?
Seems like the kind of guy to hold on to power for dear life.

Paraphrasing: It may have been JD Vance on wednesday that said that taking cash bribes was not enough with bidenflation but you needed gold bars as well

That was a dig at democrat New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez who was convicted of this.
