U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey and his wife Nadine have been indicted in New York on federal bribery charges related to their allegedly "corrupt relationship" three businessmen from their home state to protect those men and benefit the nation of Egypt.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan has scheduled a press conference for 11 a.m. ET Friday to discuss the indictment, which also charges the three businessmen: Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes

He should either resign or at least not stand for reelection. If not, Dems need a competent primary challenger.

Menendez has been Greece's best friend in congress for the last decade or so but he should absolutely go.
He's been playing with fire for far too long.

Yes, and he also got bills in big burlap sacks with dollar signs on them.

I wonder how/if his daughter will cover it this weekend. She usually just ignores news about her dad entirely.

He seems pretty cooked here. I didn’t follow his first trial, but was the corruption as obvious as this? He was acquitted via hung jury.

Was fear of a Christie appointment a factor?

So instead of fixing the southern border and homelessness etc, this guy receives gold from the Egyptians for political favours.

They're not really after Sen Menendez, they're after you. He’s just standing in the way.

Luckily for Fightin’ Bob, the Supreme Court legalized bribery of politicians in 2016. He should still resign though.

Those who have been indicted shouldn’t be eligible for public office

If he was a Republican, it’d be expected of him to commit crimes. That’s normal Republican behavior.

And he’d get away with it.

The criminalization of politics - of friendship - continues. Why shouldn’t Menendez receive gifts from his good friends?
