Menendez was not acquitted he had a hung jury. Different thing. Acquittted means found innocent. Hung jury could mean one juror was influenced or just didn't buy the prosecutor's view. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/22/nyregion/who-is-robert-menendez.html#:~:text=A nine-week trial in,a largely unknown Democratic challenger. Now, new charges that are of course "unproven" like how the $500K in cash got into his house, etc etc etc. But we all know that this will be explained if we all just go mindless and believe the talking points. Silly facts! We have talking points.... https://www.npr.org/2023/09/23/1201306900/sen-bob-menendez-indicted-on-corruption-charges-in-new-jersey Edited September 25, 2023 by DKW 86 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardin Drake 2,085 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 For purposes of the Federal Extortion Act, it makes no difference if the senator took an official act so long as he accepted the money and there was knowledge the money was in exchange for that official influence, even if he never carried out what he had promised he would do," NBC Legal Analyst Danny Cevallos said. Interesting, will this standard apply to Hunter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icanthearyou 4,468 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Bob Menedez needs to step down and, to be tried, convicted, sentenced along with those who are buying him. I have heard several Democrats say the evidence against him is overwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnatl1 6,206 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Is anyone keeping a running Excel punch list of everyone who needs to be impeached? It feels like all elected officials do anymore to try to throw other elected officials out. I get that it matters but is anyone actually working on the boring stuff like resolving the imminent social security collapse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, but there’s no reason actual criminals can’t be impeached while solving problems. The Republican House can’t even chew gum and walk at the same time. Obsessed with Trump’s dictates to both impeach and shut down government. Just think what they might do if he told them to solve an actual problem? But alas, he’s incapable. And yet they’re idiots who would vote for him AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why dems are getting pulverized as well is no one even talks about the real existential problems. Just never ending transgender Issues, impeachments, woke teachers, ect. As for border integrity, education quality, the deficit - not so much.The bottom line is I want a grown up who at least has the courage to tackle the heart attacks, not just warts and Botox. Plus the 2 bumblehead options we currently have only have 4 yrs left they can serve - if they live that long. Everything they do will be undone. What I like about Halley is she’s bringing this stuff up - even if I don’t agree with her, she’ll “go there”. I think everyone should watch the Republican debate because unless there’s 3rd party or Biden is kidnapped by aliens - they’re the only possible options left.
