Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez guilty on all charges in federal corruption trial

Menendez convicted on all charges in federal trial, will be sentenced Oct. 29

Bobby Boy is about as greasy as any human being can get. Not only has the son of a bitch riding the political gravy train with the government for so many years, he is stealing from any other foreign entity that he can.

Now the old son of a bitch can get up to 200 years in the slams for al of his corrupt activities.

The jury in the federal corruption trial of Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and two of his business associates, Fred Daibes and Wael Hana, found Menendez guilty on all charges after a grueling nine-week complex trial in Manhattan.

Menendez pleaded not guilty to federal charges that he accepted an array of bribes in exchange for helping foreign governments. Jurors deliberated for three days. The conviction on all 16 counts against him exposes Menendez to a sentence of more than 200 years in prison, though such a heavy sentence is unlikely.

Situations like this are astounding to me how anyone can plead not guilty when all of these charges are substantiated by the authority. If they would plead guilty at the get-go, they probably would get a lesser sentence and save the judicial system and all parties concerned lot of time and money with not having a trial.

Still, after a 9 week trial and all of the damning evidence against him, he continues to claim professors innocence.

I guess the cliche for better or worse worked very well in their situation. His old lady is as dirty as he is.

In March, an 18-page indictment was wrapped into Menendez’s existing charges already against him and his co-defendants — including his wife, Nadine — for allegedly acting as a foreign agent and accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to benefit the Egyptian government through his power and influence as a senator.

In all of their arrogance, all of the defendants in this case denied their complicity to the hilt.

In my opinion there is a fine line. There is nothing catastrophic with the cop on the beach stealing an apple off of the apple cart. But when the cop steals the whole cart that is where the line has to be drawn.

Not only is Menendez high-end thief but he was also a traitor to his country. In my opinion, he probably should have been charged with treason.

If the authorities brought every politician to trial that had their fingers on the cookie jar, the halls of Congress and Senate would be clear completely empty.

While I am on the subject of corruption and the inexcusable. gratuities’; there is a privilege extended to the Congress, Senate and their families that they are privy to inside information on the stock market.

Lawmakers still benefitting from share trading in defense …

Apr 2, 2024 — In starker terms, nearly one in five members of Congress traded stocks in businesses to which they are privy to inside information and for which …

To me, that is unconscionable, that they have that privilege. Why the hell do they even need a job? They could make more money betting on the stock market than they can with eight full time jobs. Does anyone but me see something wrong with that picture???

As far as I know it is against the law for an ordinary citizen to have inside information. So why is it allowed with the politicians?

SEC Rule 10b-5 prohibits corporate officers and directors or other insider employees from using confidential corporate information to reap a profit (or avoid a loss) by trading in the Company’s stock.

This government certainly has a lot of house cleaning to do to get everything on an even keel. It’s no wonder these bastards spend $20 million for a political position when it only pays 200,000 a year.

Sound like a pissed off disgruntled citizen?? You bet your ass I am.

Even with Donald Trump at the helm, I do not see the United States making the complete turn around it needs to to get back to civility and the country it once was.

Even with Trump being elected to president, it just makes the reality of this country at some point in time falling into a social estate.
