This is the same son of a bitch that wanted to hang Trump.  Put that cock sucker in jail.

This is actually Biden going after him, probably for his support of Armenia

Not sure where I would hide $500k cash and gold brides but in my home isn’t the first thought. Unless I had a hiding spot that was foolproof.  Safes and voids are easy to find with magnetometer or GPR.

Its a hedge against inflation.

Hana, who is originally from Egypt, operated the company IS EG Halal in New Jersey and it soon became the sole entity authorized to certify that any halal food product imported into Egypt from anywhere in the world had been prepared according to Islamic law.

According to the indictment, Menendez 'improperly advised and pressured an official at the United States Department of Agriculture for the purpose of protecting a business monopoly granted to Hana by Egypt and used in part to fund the bribes being paid to Menendez through Nadine Menendez.'

The designation of IS EG Halal surprised U.S. agriculture officials. Previously, several other companies had been doing that certification, but they were dismissed by Egyptian agriculture officials in favor of IS EG Halal, which had no previous experience in the field.

The indictment charges Menendez with using the power of his position on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to influence the State Department regarding policy in Egypt and with sending Nadine 'highly sensitive' information about Egypt that he got in Senate briefings that she, in turn, gave to Hana.

In another text to his wife, Menendez tells her: 'I am going to sign off this sale to Egypt today. Egypt: 46,000 120MM Target Practice Rounds and 10,000 Rounds Tank Ammunition: $99 million.'

Nadine then forwarded it to an Egyptian official who replies with the thumbs up emoji.




Now that he is indicted, Menendez will have to step down as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Rules for the Senate Democratic caucus say that any member who is charged with a felony must step aside from a leadership position.

Hana allegedly promised money to Nadine via a no-show job with his company. And, after months of nonpayment, she complained about not receiving the promised funds.

The indictment includes a text from Nadine to a friend: 'I have been so upset all morning. [Hana] left for Egypt yesterday supposedly and now thinks he’s king of the world and has both countries wrapped around his pinky. I really hope they replace him.'

Records show Arslanian was battling foreclosure on her Bergen County property in 2018. When she and Menendez got engaged, it began a period of financial turnaround for her.

Within weeks of their engagement, she incorporated a business, Strategic International Business Consultants LLC, according to state records. Her foreclosure case was dismissed soon after. The following year, her assets included gold bars valued between $100,000 to $250,000, according to a Senate disclosure form amended by Menendez in March of 2022.

Between April and June of 2022, the couple sold between $200,000 and $400,000 worth of gold bars, while keeping at least $250,000 worth of them.







The Menedez family home.



Businessman Jose Uribe allegedly bought Menendez and Nadine the luxury vehicle, a Mercedes-Benz C-300 convertible worth more than $60,000.

In exchange, Menendez 'agreed and sought to interfere in a New Jersey state criminal prosecution of an associate of Uribe,' the indictment states.

They are all part of the big club.  If they are singling one out, they didn't play by the club rules.

Nadine is a cow !

Why didn’t she just sell paintings?

Why didn’t he just write a book, or do some speaking engagements?

“…Menendez, a Democrat…”

FBI (what they will find, because “Democrat”):  “We found no evidence of wrongdoing.”

No one’s coming to save us, fellas.

No one.

ISTR ol' Bob M has been 'accused" multiple times in the past. Yet has always managed to weasel out of it.

Maybe he pissed someone off in the party this time?

Yawn

..I wonder how many more stashes he has?.. Surely that is not all, is it?

Could be a perfect opportunity, to deflect current attention away, from the very corrupt AG & the idiot old man and his untouchable son?..

400k is a lot less than what the big guy works for.

She should be indicted just for wearing those pants.

Wearing those pants should be punishment for corruption.  "Shame, shame, shame..."

Exactly my thoughts. Since it took a minute to find out the affiliation of the Senator I knew he was a DemocRat.

Ole Bob must of pissed the swamp off something bad to get a Federal prosecutor to go after him.  Feds only pursue political cases.

I just checked our local NBC affiliate website (WSLS). Not a peep about it. It'd be the lead story on their website if it were a Republican.

Good luck finding a jury willing to convict a democrat any where in NJ or in New England.

The story here isn't that Menendez is a corruptocrat, it's that at least 70 other senators are, too.

Indicting a sitting senator is definitely something that only happens if said senator is in the way or pisses off the wrong person.

Accusing others of what they are actually doing is the favorite play of the corrupt.

This guy is a senator.

It's not stupidity, it's arrogance. He doesn't need to hide. Because he's a senator. He only got to be senator because he's a corrupt piece of shit in a system run by other corrupt pieces of shit. Why would he even suspect he could end up the target when he's just one of the many?

That’s north jersey trash.  Real jersey shore people don’t look or live like Snookie trailer trash from up north.

Ok then. $460k laid out looks much more impressive if they went that route.

Polonium-210 is the only answer

NJ Democrat Senator Bob Menendez…

Sen. Bob Menendez indictment live updates: Senator cries racism, conspiracy

https://nypost.com/2023/09/22/bob-menendez-live-updates/

Federal indictment.  You won’t get a booking photo.  

Appears the FBI (and IRS-CI) DID find evidence of wrong doing, and indicted him on multiple felonies.

I’m sure they all do it, the real question is about why they went after him. I’m guessing he pissed off someone important.

"Sorry bub, but how am I expected to give you 10% of a gold bar?"

She sold the oldest commodity known to mankind: poontang.

For all this grief, you'd think Bob could have found a young hot woman.  

I hope he gets "f't" in the "a" as well.

Pretty damn spasticated too.

Yes! "Big boned", lol. Reminds me of Dog the Bounty Hunter's former wife, Beth.

Are these people really that stupid or what?

Rumors are that Schumer and Tbone were somehow involved.

Could get interesting

I would not get too far ahead of this.

The FBI investigated.

The Southern District of New York prosecuted.

Let that sink in for a few minutes.

And there are those here who rush to judgement.

Don't.

This is what that dirty cock sucker said about Trump in 2019, on the senate floor:

Dem senator charged with bribery once claimed Trump could be 'compromised' by Russian government
Sen Bob Menendez said in a speech that then-President Trump's alleged corruption 'keeps me up at night'

Every single one who owns a house their .gov salary can't afford.

Democrats engage in projection most of the time.

If they haven’t put that slimy communist piece of shit behind bars for all of the other shit he’s done they aren’t going to do anything to him now.

Its all just a big mistake and can be fixed with a 10% fixing fee

No shit.

Now do Chuck U Schumer.

Show me the man, and I'll show you the crime - Latvia Beria

Also the official motto of the FBI and the DOJ.  Though in this case I have no doubt he's actually guilty.  I'm just mildly surprised that they decided to go after him.  As per my previous post I strongly suspect they're going after him not because of what he did, but because he pissed off the wrong persons.

I think trying to sleep on the illegally obtained gold bars stuffed in his mattress probably was more of a significant factor in his insomnia.
