"Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and his wife, Nadine, have been indicted on charges of bribery. Federal prosecutors announced the charges Friday and said in a search of the senator’s home, they found $100,000 in gold bars and $480,000 in hidden cash. "

I hope he is prosecuted, punished, removed from office and put in jail. Enough of this shit.

I think he needs to resign immediately.

I also think we need to understand what was really happening here. I believe there is reporting out there on documentary evidence tying payments to the Egyptians' role in the Saudis' murder of Khashoggi (and subsequent coverup).

When the risk-free rate of return is only ~ 5% annually like now, I always default to the "coffee can buried in the back yard" strategy of money management.

He is accused of selling information to the Egyptian Gummit.

Seems awfully close to treason to me.

In case you haven't heard, the DOJ has filed additional, "superseding charges" against NJ Sen Menendez, for acting on behalf of Egypt. And it looks like they have receipts.

Sen. John Fetterman Calls for Sen. Bob Menendez's Expulsion

PA Sen. Fetterman urges the Senate to expel NJ Sen. Menendez over new foreign agent charges.

Looks like someone was watching and listening to a meeting between Menendez, an Egyptian official, and others in May 2019:
