@nytimes: Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey, the powerful Democratic chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, was charged on Friday with taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes — including gold bars — to wield influence abroad and at home, aiding the government of Egypt and businessmen in New Jersey. The three-count federal indictment, which also charges the senator’s wife, Nadine Menendez, and three New Jersey businessmen, accuses him of using his official position in a wide range of corrupt schemes. The businessmen named in the indictment are Fred Daibes, a prominent real estate developer and fund-raiser for Menendez; Wael Hana, a longtime friend of Nadine Menendez’s who founded a halal meat certification business; and Jose Uribe, who works in the trucking and insurance business. #robertmenendez

Both sides are on the take. Sad but true. Where’s the indictment for kushner and the $2B the Saudis gave him? Washington is awash in lobbyist money

All of these politicians are all corrupt. They have salaries that aren’t enough to make them rich, but most politicians are worth millions of $s.

The Democratic Party should have NEVER allowed him to run again after his corruption was uncovered last time.
