NJ governor
reading through the indictment now, it's hard to understand, like it would take me a 5 minutes or so to explain to a common person what happened and they would have to listen closely lol--- but it's clearly corruption as common people would consider it, probably a lot of business as usual in the Senate, but the other side is like a crime novel, a low budget one. it's a like the Bob McDonnell case, but with more foreign international affairs.
The SC has considerably narrowed the levels of bribery/corruption of office charges, but this has probably been considered by the prosecutors, and they have what looks like overt acts: trying to influence the US Attorney pick, trying to mediate a prosecution involving a co conspirator.
Seems like he Menendez has a learned or innate impulse for these schemes, it's very close to the last one, but meeting his wife, she really kinda worked that position. Cars (the classic bullshyt baby benz, which she crashed), gold bars, mortgage payments for her foreclosed home.
he should step down from that committee.
