This report was on NBC. Earlier in the day, José Díaz-Balart on MSNBC also ran the story. I'm thinking it might have been a tough decision by MSNBC to run that story. Reasons: (1) It involves a prominent Democratic politician; and (2) The Senator's daughter Alecia is a weekend night-time host on the network. Good for MSNBC for covering this!
As for Menendez, he's certainly innocent until proven guilty and deserves his day in court, which I'm sure he'll get. If he's found guilty, he needs to face the consequences, which should include being forced to step down from the Senate. As say like to say to any Republican: No man is above the law! Can we at least agree on that? Then I listen hard to the silence.
Biden and Harris have to be next to be indicted.
Ted Cruz, Menendez and Marco Rubio the Cuban boys of cash
I hope he gets jailed. This robert guy is a crook
He was indicted before and yet New Jersey elected him again, now look! He’s just the tip of the iceberg.
He’s just the tip of the iceberg
What I’m astonished by is how the poor dumb people of New Jersey kept electing him knowing he was a stone criminal. How stupid can people be? I don’t care what party they are in if we don’t stop them they will destroy this country.
pos DEMOCRATS
He feels that since he got away with the same crime and got off last time that this time will be the same. Democrat politicians have no shame about insider trading, money laundering, bribery, influence peddling and other such crimes cause they have the rigged justice system and the rigged propagandist media running a protection racket for them. Only way he gets prosecuted is if the Democrat Party labeled Senator Mendez excommunicado.
His net worth was 18 million in 2023? Hmm that's pretty good on a senator's salary!! Drain the swamp.. They forgot to mention the DNA they found on the envelope full of cash in his home that appears to be from an Egyptian gentleman..
85 percent of politicians is crooked and the Lobbyist own them. Age limit and terms limit for all Government and Washington DC jobs. Age limit: 60 and term limits 2 term limits. That goes for the Supreme Court and all judges around America. He not the only one it alot more
Poor senator he was trying to protect his wife.
End US Embargo against Cuba!
Another POS elected official. It IS A SWAMP. Every other day another scandal is revealed and no one is being punished for it. Will he see the inside of a jail or prison? Of course not. Why don't the voters just recall him? Or at least try to?
I like Robert Menendez , I live in NJ , Im a life long Republican and would never vote for Bob, but I like him.
Why?
Because Robert Menendez is a corrupt crooked , in office for 40 years Democratic politician, that can admit that he is a thief . Biden wont.
When this guy is Squeezing 3rd world countries you may think that Jesus has come back to save the world but probably not >>may be doing some shakedown!!
Good his a castro sympathizer
Jail time lock him up
These people are disgusting makes me sick
Next thing you know they will figure out The Biden family is Corrupt
TERM LIMITS
Wierd how this law doesnt apply if your sir name is Biden.
Is that a added clause in this Law?
Why does the guy doin the voiceover sound like an out-of-breath 400 pound man?
"They're not sending us their best" -DJT 2019 Why do we have mexicans in the US government?
Investigate David Seelinger in Secaucus, New Jersey. He's Frauding the Treasury for Trillions of Dollars
WHAT IS THE SURPRISE? ALL DEMOCRATS ARE CROOKED EVIL TRASH!!
He needs prison time.
In some states, senators and congressmen have a lifetime position. Despite the monstrous corruption, they win elections without any problems.
The number of terms a senator and congressman can serve should be limited. But our senators and congressmen will not do this. They love American democracy
📝 🧐
Hmmm Oooh lord 🤦♂️!…
Poor guy, he doesn’t have big connections in politics/judiciary corrupt system like Biden, trump do to save himself…
I agree with the person who said that all politicians ought to be forced to dress like Nascar drivers with patches identifying who has bought and paid for them. So sad that "public servants" of either party are only serving themselves and not the public.
I would like to know if he used cash or gold to pay for those breast implants his wife is so proud to show off.😛
😂 So his wife got gold bars . Clearance Thomas and his wife got Trips , house, more Gifts ,😂 and you think finding a Democrat makes a supreme court judge look less guilty ? Both should be removed. But until you remove supreme court judge Thomas and his wife , you will not get the drama and urgency you trying to put out here. Corruption is corruption. And Thomas and his wife been corrupt just as long as this man has been corrupt. Vote Blue America . Every time a conservative politician gets caught they look to show something on the other side. So put both in jail or shut up about it until we see justice done. So far , We haven't😂
