NYP: Disgraced ex-NJ Sen. Bob Menendez cries as he begs for leniency — but gets 11 years in prison for gold bar bribery scheme.
Bob Menendez, once a powerful US senator from New Jersey, cried as he begged a Manhattan judge for leniency Wednesday — and was sentenced to 11 years in prison for selling out his lofty post for gold bars, cash, a Mercedes-Benz convertible and other bribes.
“Your honor, you have before you a chastened man,” Menendez, 71, said before choking up.
“I have dedicated my entire life to the service of others,” he said, dabbing his eyes with a tissue. “I am far from a perfect man, but I believe in my half-century of public service, I have done more good than bad.” more
“I am 100% innocent of these charges and I’ll be spending the next 11 years working to clear my name (Pst, it was my wife)
Aww come on now. Who doesn’t sew gold bars in their jacket linings ??
Just watched him live. He says he is not guilty, will file an appeal, and really calls the Biden DOJ what it really is. He said he hopes Trump actually can get the DOJ cleaned up.
One down forty to go…
Maybe more.
Of course he’s a POS, he’s a longterm Senator isn’t he??
But the real question is, why him, thus, and not ANY AND ALL THE REST OF THEM, first and foremost Shitpants himself?!
‘Why him’? My bet is he didn’t pay off the right people. I’d guess he was even approached by other(s) and wouldn’t give them their Big Guy 10%.
“I have dedicated my entire life to the service of others…”
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahaaa!!!…
Yeah, sure, he had a safe full of gold bars from “serving others”. JFC, these assholes are insufferable. Best lube up Menendez.
Senator Bob liked those young Dominican girls.
In prison, maybe he’ll get to be the “young Dominican girl”.
…while we’re on the subject of just desserts, lying coward Walz gets a helping served…

“I have dedicated my entire life to the service of others,” he said.
That “service to others” is the same way a bull will service a heifer.
I hope President Trump pardons him just to troll the Left-Tards out there.
That’s right bitch. 10% up front, homie don’t play none of that “For a pardon today, I’ll gladly pay you on Tuesday” shit.
This has to be embarrassing for his ugly daughter who co-host a weekend show on MSNBC and has been railing about the traitorous Trump and his detestable felony paperwork trial for the last year or two.
Another arrogant, delusional, swamp prick.
GFY
None of them are public “servants”. He got paid. I am not aware of him donating his salary to a church or other.
He should have talked to Joe, Joe likes gold bars, and Joe has friends….wink wink.
Was he just and ‘expendable’ POS to appease the commoners??
Now time to aggressively go after the crimes of so many more congressional criminals.
“President Trump was right,” Menendez claimed Wednesday. “This process is political and is corrupted to its core. I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores the integrity to the system.” This dirty bastard voted twice in favor of impeaching Trump during his first term. Good luck with getting him to pardon you, you crook. That cesspool clean up you now claim you want starts with YOU.
Biden, Pelosi and McConnell should also be held so accountable.
I hope they send him to ass pounding federal prison.
He’ll end up in that country-club prison in Pennsylvania (Allenwood? if memory serves).
The worst that’ll happen to him is he’ll have to stand in line for Tee-time.
