Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez found guilty in federal corruption trial | CNN Politics
A jury has found Sen. Bob Menendez guilty on all counts in his federal corruption trial.
Should have waited until you were president to do all that corruption, BOZO.
smh you can't even accept gold bars from Turkish interest groups in exchange for classified intelligence nowadays because of woke
Wait shit, Menendez was the guy doing Egypt stuff Eric Adams was the guy doing Turkey stuff
appeal to supreme court
They literally just ruled that unless the gold bars had "Memo: explicitly in exchange for political favors" this is fine. But of course if this goes to the Supreme court their official ruling will be that it's only fine if unless they specifically rule an individual case isn't, which this isn't.
I wonder what the GOP justices will do. On the one hand - they want to put a stop to rich or powerful people going to jail. On the other hand - he's a democrat.
Yeah I thought they just legalized bribery as long as you do the thing before you are paid not vice versa.
Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez found
guilty
I guess it’s better than nothing.
I think they should actually make this legal and outlaw traditional lobbying. If you want to take money in exchange for political influence it needs to be solid bars of precious metal or tan bags stuffed with cash and marked with a dollar sign
Good news! Recent supreme court decision basically does this.
- City mayor awarded $1mil contract to garbage collection company
- then he walked into office said "I need money" they wrote a check for $13k
- FBI: "why did they do that?"
- Mayor: "consulting services" (no further details ever provided)
- company owner: "an inside track on the contract"
Verdict: INNOCENT

[I am somehow censoring myself here, for once taking my own inner advice]
RIP BOZO
Noooooo!
Bob was just hit with the Havana Syndrome gun and didn't know what he was doing
They seemed to embrace once another.
That was honestly an exceptionally fast and efficient trial
Kinda shows you how fast Trump, Gaetz, anyone could be prosecuted and locked up for any variety of crimes...... if proper incentive is there. Thus it also shows that the incentive is currently not there... and leaves one to speculate on why Bob here got the shaft while Gaetz has not, despite his criminal receipts being publicly disclosed.
