“Menendez was previously indicted in a bribery and fraud case, but the Department of Justice dropped all charges after a mistrial was declared. The U.S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics nevertheless “found that over a six-year period you [Menendez] knowingly and repeatedly accepted gifts of significant value” from a close friend and donor “without obtaining required Committee approval” and without proper disclosure.
“Additionally, while accepting these gifts, you used your position as a Member of the Senate to advance Dr. Melgen’s personal and business interests,” concluded the committee.“
Seems like he did get mug shot and I would assume the appropriate identification number like P01135809. Stands to reason that menedez will aso get one too…hence the indictment
well lets compare the sentencing guidelines between on the charges between the two indicted fellas. also how many felonies have they each been indicted of? @safiel would be able to help us here. my amateur guess is that someone with 44 federal charges probably have larger sentencing then someone charged with 3 counts…
Yep… Trump will face punishment. Menendez simply won’t. He’s a dem, he’s in the clear. Hell, this is a feather in his cap for getting re-elected. Twice indicted democrat in New Jersey.
“This is quintessential evidence…This is the evidence that you want if you’re trying this bribery case,” Jennifer Rogers told CNN. “You know, just to be clear in the prior case — he wasn’t cleared in the prior case, he wasn’t acquitted; It was a hung jury. And what the jury had a problem which is, that fact that they were friends, the ‘briber’ and Menendez were friends.”
“So, I think some of the jurors were convinced that when Menendez would, say, take a trip on his private plane and go to his home, which are things that could be looked at as bribes, they said, ‘well, it was because of their friendship,'” she added.“
Notice Bob McDonell isn’t being brought up in the thread, only when it was used to attack Jack Smith.
i agree, like i said Menedez is already in line for a presidential pardon by P01135809. it would fit his pattern with convicted crooked politicians, he loves them;
