Former Sen. Bob Menendez sentenced to 11 years in prison in gold bar bribery case
Prosecutors had recommended 15 years, which his lawyers called "a life and death sentence" for the 71-year-old New Jersey Democrat.
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?
Only when Papa gets his cut.
Magic Supreme Court Ball: Signs point to YES
Note all the Democrats in this thread screaming how it's unfair political persecution and a witch hunt...
Great! Now do the rest!
We've had Menendez, now can we have Gaetz?
I guess we did get a Santos, remember this fucker https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/08/19/george-santos-guilty/74857375007/
He was replaced by someone infinitely better so thats like a double win. Got 2 birds stoned at once

Frig off Ricky!
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
Look what happened to Snoop Dogg after Trump pardoned his friend.
Maybe Eric Adams, but the statement arguably still applies.
He pardoned Rod Blagojevich
He’s a democrat. That won’t happen.
Can't believe this fuck tried to blame it all on his wife. If there is one way to guarantee yourself zero leniency...
I think he was blaming his wife to get off on the charges, then she would have done the same thing and blamed him… they were hoping to both get off using this tactic because you can’t be compelled to testify against your spouse. It obviously didn’t work.
Dude had wads of cash and gold bars all throughout his house lol.
From gold bars to iron bars...
He should have ran for president.
