^^ power has the ability to corrupt but, even before that, will often attract the worst kind of people seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of others

if they are corrupt, may they serve many years in prison

Ask @Rightguide , that is their purpose. Be in the kitchen, clean the house, take the fall for a bribery scandal.

Except he can’t even keep someone in the house, maybe his cultish beliefs keeps people away. Or maybe he is just as big of an ass in person as he is here.

It may seem extreme but a politician caught in a corrupt relationship would in my eyes be committing a crime against the people of the country. To me that's treason.

Hopefully part of his sentence is to be neutered. If she's going to lose her tits, he needs to lose his balls.

 

[Bn2f]

Bob Menendez is guilty as Hell!
End of story!
No way is he going to get away with this by pointing his finger at his wife blaming her as some sort of fixer. I just came here to make sure none of you libtards were trying to pass this off as a victimless crime.

^^^ He was guilty the first time too.



Kind of odd that the briber was convicted, but the bribee was not:

Why do they blame it on their wives?

​

In this case, I think they both were milking the bribery system on this--and with some separate projects from each other.

In the Alito case I think it's a dingaling wife in addition to a white nationalist husband rather than the husband shielding himself with the wife.

Prosecutors try to link alleged bribes of Sen. Bob Menendez to appointment of federal prosecutor​

NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors at the trial of Sen. Bob Menendez used the testimony of his former campaign manager on Tuesday to try to link alleged bribes of the Democrat to the appointment of New Jersey’s top prosecutor three years ago.

 

[butters]

(Bloomberg) -- Jurors at the corruption trial of US Senator Bob Menendez asked the judge Monday whether they must be unanimous to reach an acquittal on any count.

“Does a not guilty verdict on a single count require unanimity?” jurors asked in a note to US District Judge Sidney Stein, who read it in court. The note didn’t specify which count or which defendant may have divided the 12 jurors. Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, is being tried along with two businessmen.

the judge confirmed that a unanimous vote is required on any of the 18 counts against 3 defendants.
