Democrat Congressman To Be Indicted By DOJ

[Valletta]

Cuellar is the second sitting Democrat to face charges. In September, federal authorities charged U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) with using his power on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to steer business toward political allies. A raid of his home revealed gold bars and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash socked away in hiding places, prompting Menendez to claim that he always carried getaway assets as a result of his upbringing in communist Cuba.

He deserved a fair trial and should be presumed innocent until a jury decides.

Fantastic! Glad they caught him. Things look pretty damning. Lock him up if the court finds him.

A shame Cuellar won his primary against a more progressive candidate.

Menendez has been a problem for years.

he faces 2 Republicans in the upcoming election

Since his district is one that always goes Democratic, Cuellar will be reelected--because the voters won't want to see a presidential candidate whose crimes make Cuellar's look like pocketing a pack of gum at a convenience store get a Congressional majority (should that candidate unfortunately win.)

I believe our mutual friend was having a joke with the term “political Lawfare” being a term used to decry the various separate prosecutions of a certain ex-President.

Seeing all the articles from the left and right about investigations of politicians proves those clowns are crooks.

It’s the “system”…politicians have to raise money to campaign and needing money is the stairway to the ethics-furnace.
The only “honest politicians” there are, no longer draw breath, and never did.

Defence for Bob Menendez casts blame on senator's wife​

Nadine Menendez "kept him in the dark" on financial matters, the politician's attorney, Avi Weitzman, told the jury.

But prosecutor Lara Pomerantz said Mr Menendez, 70, used his wife as a go-between in trading political influence for money, gifts and gold bars.

He married Nadine Menendez ... in 2020.

Mr Menendez's defence team painted a different picture of the senator's marriage, portraying Mrs Menendez as a financially troubled individual who left her husband out of her scramble to resolve money problems and "to get cash and assets any way she could".

A gold(bar)digger! I have my doubts that Bob will escape the bus he's throwing his wife under, but we'll see.
