Menendez has been openly and obviously corrupt for almost my entire life this goes back way before Biden. Also, the FBI is supposed to be independent so while I guess as usual they did the bare minimum of not interfering I think they should have forced him out of office long before this.

Please. The only difference between this and Congress is that they insider trade, which is legal for them and the rest of the branch.

If only he had waited. Bribery is legal now, right?

Sweet. Now Trump will pardon him if he thinks he still has some of the gold.
I am thinking that's why he freed Dread Pirate Roberts. There are billions in unclaimed BTC wallets going back to his arrest time.

He won't pardon a Democrat

He will if he can get a gold bar out of it.
If Menendez does him a favor or kisses his ass on TV.
Menendezs son, who is in Congress does him a favor.
Look what happened to Snoop Dogg after Trump pardoned his friend.

Maybe Eric Adams, but the statement arguably still applies.

Can't believe this fuck tried to blame it all on his wife. If there is one way to guarantee yourself zero leniency...
