  1. words like "linked to robbery" and "democrat"… why it's not a surprise?

  2. Jail??? Iโ€™ll bet no one.

  3. Goldfinger Menendez is just another corrupt New Jersey Democrat. Or as they say in Hudson County, it's only Tuesday, the week isn't over yet.

  4. as the orange man would say, witch hunt.!!

  7. He was framed by the Trump and Maga cult members

  8. I do not believe this story at all. It makes no sense. This dude is a Democrat , they are simply the most perfect, Law Abiding , righteous , Can do no wrong Human beings on the face of the earth. They are the party of utter perfection.

  9. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  10. Two words-undeclared income. Illegal income is still taxable and if he didn't declare it, which is probable, he's got major income tax issues too.

  11. That guys always been a crook Im from Paterson NJ and know this menendez guy acts like hes a senator from the show Sopranos's

  12. Real estate developers and their criminal behavior have helped to ruin modern day society.

  13. Allegations ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    All Americans; ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚ wtfe

  14. A senator getting gold bars from people and not reporting it is insanity but all this shows is how corrupt our government is and allowed to be. America lost its moral compass along time ago and I wonder if we will ever come back to aa balance or will we continue with this buffoonery.

  15. IDC about him sellin out the US or having gold bars from a vioIent robery, he's a great man and shall he win re election with my vote.

  16. There you go folks now you knw democrats are corrupt

  17. Why do politicians have so much money?

  18. Throw him in jail. If I get caught with a stolen item I would be charged

  19. ALL Democrats are criminals. This shouldn't surprise anyone.

  20. if Bob was a republican then he would have already been removed from his seat.

  21. Story just like Biden itโ€™s a Democrat hobby. Right pelosi.

  22. The bigger the crime, the more protection or unwillingness there is to pursue accountability.

  23. Shame. People just canโ€™t be honest even those that are placed in positions of powerโ€trust.โ€

  24. My goodness this guy makes Clarence Thomas seem honorable.

  25. I would not want to be him right now.

  26. How is this guy still a Senator? Crook.

  27. Hahaha so much for withdrawing the money over time! All politicians are crooks! How do you think they get all those sweetheart deals and election contributions!

  28. Maybe heโ€™s a gold stacker and he bought them off eBay.

  29. the Senator hasn't heard of a safety deposit box? No one keeps that kind of cash and gold at their house unless it has been acquired illegally.

  30. How long must we put up with subhuman frogs in Government? The USA is morally bankrupt.

  31. He needs to be thrown out of Congress, end of story. And he should be speaking with Tax investigators, makes one wonder if he knows something about Joe and he is being "protected".

  32. Wow MSNBC turning on one of its own. Thats rear.
