“I’ll NEVER stop being indicted,” vows Senator Menendez

That corrupt fucker needs to resign ASAP and remove himself as a target for Repugs. The governor of NJ is a Democrat and there's no way he won't appoint another Democrat to fill the seat until the next election.

He's been fighting the Feds more or less continuously since he was elected to Congress. He's not going to quit now.

He was given actual gold bars from the Egyptians in exchange for favors. He’s just as much of a grifter as the Trumps.

“Among other actions, MENENDEZ provided sensitive U.S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the Government of Egypt.”

That Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairmanship worked out very lucratively for him.

The Democrats should have kicked him to the curb years ago.

He won’t go for the same reason Feinstein won’t-they are both chairs of powerful committees and the Republicans will hold up replacing him.

Hopefully he suspends his reelection campaign and there is a good replacement lined up on the Democratic side.

Senate Democratic Caucus rules will force Menendez to step aside as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, but he can still serve on the panel.

An anti-Castro Cuban American actually favored other despotic governments? I’m ever so shocked.

Good r6. Do they hold up the chairmanship now, I wonder.

MeidasTouch.com's Ron Filipkowski:

We aren’t going to have rallies, protests and GoFundMe legal defense fund pages for Bob Menendez. We aren’t going to sell ‘Free Bob’ hats and shirts. We aren’t going to make rap videos for him. We aren’t going to try and defund the prosecutor.

Because we aren’t Republicans

Isn't he the one who killed his parents?

MSNBC's weekend host, Alicia Menendez is the daughter of New Jersey's Sen. Bob Menendez.

Rather awkward if she's reporting the news.

She won't.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy calls on Menendez to step down:

"The allegations in the indictment against Senator Menendez and four other defendants are deeply disturbing These are serious charges that implicate national security and the integrity of our criminal justice system.

Under our legal system, Senator Menendez and the other defendants have not been found guilty and will have the ability to present evidence disputing these charges, and we must respect the process.

However, the alleged facts are so serious that they compromise the ability of Senator Menendez to effectively represent the people of our state. Therefore, I am calling for his immediate resignation."

She’s being discussed on the MSNBC thread.

R11 Im a hardcore Democrat but Menendez is disgusting. He engages in the type of flat out bribery that most Americans think all politicians are up to. They're not. There are lots of ways politicians line their own pockets without taking cash and gold bars or compromising political policy.

Meanwhile, his daughter should get axed by MSNBC. This is a news channel that operates in the same state as her famously corrupt father. She wants to be a journalist, let her go get a job working for a news outlet, news station, or newspaper in some other state where her dad isnt known to be the most corrupt politician.

I am a big MSNBC fan, but watching Alicia Menendez's program, 'American Voices,' on the weekend is like watching paint dry. Maybe no one will notice she's on.

Menendez is laughably corrupt. Jersey has a history of corruption and he is every walking cliche of a corrupt politician, can't believe he survived he last indictment.

The problem is his chip off the block son has already been pushed into politics, even if Daddy goes his son will still be my congressman here in Hudson county Jersey. He was preparing his son to take over his Senate seat and keep the grift going. His son has been out today trying to defend him even when no one else is dumb enough to.

We aren't Republicans, r15, the Democrats aren't going to brush this under the table.

I bet he throws his wife under the bus.

He's a total sleaze ball!

Gold bars?

$800,000 in cash?

Ain’t that America 🎶

What does one do with a gold bar? Where do you cash it in?

They make gigantic coin changers, r21.

He probably just sits in his evil lair and strokes it

ONNNNNNNLYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOLD! (hand movements)

Wife? My partner saw her pic on MSNBC and asked me who the drag queen was.

Only the finest Cubans over here.

I love the guy.

“Gold was a gift to Jesus. If it's good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me!”

I recommend Silver.

Menendez plays the race card in his statement: “It is not lost on me how quickly some are rushing to judge a Latino and push him out of his seat. I am not going anywhere.”

I just assume it's a law that all NJ officeholders are felons or soon to be felons. If we lower the bar to that Menendez is just at par.

Um, most people who were lucky enough to avoid jail time due to a hung jury would keep their noses clean. This piece of shit took the opportunity to keep going and further enrich himself.

I’m sorry, but Cuban-Americans, regardless of political affiliation, are the WORST.

R8 of course not. A standing committee must have a chair. Ben Cardin is the highest ranking member of the majority on the FRC.

R24 ... from Egypt with love?

Gold bars and they even found wads of cash in his clothing! It would almost be comical if it wasn't so despicable and serious.

Menendez is a real piece or shit and should resign immediately and never be allowed to hold a public position of any kind again.
