And if they don't throw him in jail, (this is slam-dunk), they cannot possibly throw Trump, who is not slam dunk. (He is not, since there is no charge of insurrection....but I digress!)
@averagejoe1 saidDear Joe - Why don't you stop trying to "handicap" the legal system as if were a day at the racetrack. Both Menendez and Trump will take their respective journeys through the judicial system - a system that has worked reasonably well for the better part of 250 years.

It doesn't matter if a lib will post about Menendez crime. We don't have access to the evidence the prosecutors have, we don't know what witnesses have decided to cooperate with prosecutors, what information they've given up, nor do we know if either defendant might decide to plead guilty to lesser charges in return for a reduced sentence. To put it bluntly Joe, you're trying to put a 1000-piece puzzle together with 25 pieces.
Let the professionals handle this.

@averagejoe1 saidHe and Trump should have their money taken away and forced to live in a retirement home. Maybe then they both will discover what they SHOULD have spent their political career doing. (Working for their constituents instead of just themselves.)

@suzianne saidIt is not illegal to own gold bars and it is not illegal to hide money in a suit, although it does look funny.

You have to prove he acquired it illegally.

@metal-brain saidHaven’t really followed it but it looks like he was paid by Egypt to surreptitiously lobby for them in his role as chair of the foreign affairs committee.

This surely cannot be ok, not even in the heist that is the US political lobbying system

@suzianne saidSue thinks the government agencies(?) should just take their money away. When there has been no adjudication.

@kevcvs57 saidYes, I heard that allegation too, but do they have hard evidence?

@mott-the-hoople saidCan you read English and point out where I said “Trump is PARTICIPATING in the primaries.
😂 Trump is not participating in the repub primaries
you libs are good for a laugh…thx
Are you claiming trump is not standing for selection by the primary process.
Why are you illiberal’s so terminally thick and illiterate.

My gut tells me he is as bent as a nine dollar note and until it’s been investigated he should be suspended from his place on the foreign affairs committee but I believe he has stood down anyway
