So, he'd be doing exactly what the deplorables are doing with Trump?

Probably. What deplorables are doing with Trump. What the democrats are currently doing with Biden.

What I was getting at was she compared a senator to an ex-president who is likely the 2024 general election presidential candidate. A senator vs a 1 term president possibly 2nd is going to garner different levels of pushback or acquiescence from supporters.

Your post 36 and mine are saying pretty much the same thing. You just went into detail why.

Dem senator charged with Bribery once Claimed Trump could be 'compromised' by Russian government​

Sen Bob Menendez said in a speech that then-President Trump's alleged corruption 'keeps me up at night'​

New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menedez was indicted on international corruption charges Friday, years after accusing former President Donald Trump of being "compromised" by the Russian government.

"Over the last two years, many of us have grappled with a very difficult question about our President," Menendez said on the Senate floor in February 2019. "It’s a question that never before could we even imagine thinking about an American president, let alone saying aloud on the floor of the Senate.

"I’m talking about the entirely legitimate question of whether Donald Trump could be compromised by the Russian government."


Menendez made a lengthy speech outlining allegations against Trump and said that the possibility of corruption "keeps me up at night."

On Friday, Menendez was federally indicted on bribery offenses that alleged the senator and his wife took bribes of cash, gold bars and a luxury car for a range of corrupt acts, including having the Democrat use his influence over foreign affairs to benefit the authoritarian government of Egypt.

A search of the couple’s home turned up $100,000 in gold bars and $480,000 in hidden cash, said prosecutors, who announced the charges against the 69-year-old Democrat nearly six years after an earlier criminal case against him ended with a deadlocked jury.

Has the FBI raided Menendez office or home? No. It’s weaponized.

You're either the biggest dullard on this board, don't know how to read, or both.

"In June 2022, the FBI executed a search warrant at the New Jersey home of MENENDEZ and NADINE MENENDEZ. During that search, the FBI found many of the fruits of this bribery scheme, including cash, gold, the luxury convertible, and home furnishings. Over $480,000 in cash — much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe — was discovered in the home, as well as over $70,000 in cash in NADINE MENENDEZ’s safe deposit box, which was also searched pursuant to a separate search warrant. Some of the envelopes contained the fingerprints and/or DNA of DAIBES or his driver. Other of the envelopes were found inside jackets bearing MENENDEZ’s name and hanging in his closet, as depicted below."

I remember a time when political figures had at least some sense of shame. Now when they get caught red handed they just lash out defiantly.

Innocent in front a leftist DC jury? Likely not. Innocent in the eyes of most Americans? Yes.

There's the rub.

Unfortunately this is one of my great concerns for our legal system. It supposed to be blind yet we all know that a jury hearing evidence for a politician in Greeneville TN might very well (actually, probably) come to a very different verdict than that same politician in Washington DC.

What a heroic stance…

Nevermind that he was indicted the first time in 2015 and has been in office the past 8 years.

Standing on principle.

Dude is almost 70 years old
Been under investigation for 10 years
Will be immediately backfilled with an ideological surrogate

See how easy this is?

How bout that Mercedes gifted from Egypt. Too much of this crap in DC. Oh yea, he was one on the Senate floor that admonished Trump for being compromised. No different than Swalwell hypocritically talking about foreign agents. DC is a corrupt sewer.

edit and not just Dems, but all these long tenured pols.

Weird how posters who always say "stay on topic" in other threads don't stay on topic in threads that aren't about Trump.

The Menendez thing is a public relations ploy by the DOJ to try and ward off some of the criticism that it is corrupt and politically biased.

Anything for the deplorables to maintain the status as a victim.
