The prosecution rested on Wednesday leaving the presiding judge, William H. Walls, to consider whether to throw out all the bribery related charges and continue to prosecute Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) for “making false statements on his congressional financial disclosures.”
The determination rests on a Supreme Court ruling in the Virginia Bob McDonnell case that sets a narrow standard for demonstrating the gifts given for favors are actually connected.
The false statement charge could still land Menendez behind bars.
Sigh! There’s rules for them and rules for us. Look at that smug bastard!
Something stinks like a hogs ass about this!
Every swamp creature in D.C. is watching with great interest if Menendez gets away with it or not and how they can follow his example to avoid prosecution themselves.
Someone, somehow, needs to make an example of these holier than thou criminals!
So many lawyers and judges, so little Justice.
This country is not even a shadow of its former self. It’s a stain on the sidewalk.

Funny how they was all the crap off these criminals , so they can run for reelection after they get out of prison.
Gosh, it’s almost like we have two systems of Justice, but that can’t be.
Hillary and bill has shown the left how to bw criminals and never be punished
Are you freaking kidding me? WTF
No way we’re the Dems ever going to put a Senate seat in jeopardy. And no way was the GOPe going to be put in the position of running a candidate for that seat. Not with Bannon roaming loose.
Laws are written to promote corruption.
“Insider Trading” – exempt.
Corruption in Legislation – exempt (recall the min. wage bill promoted by Pelosi but exempting Samoa? Where her husband’s tuna interests are?).
Fashioning Legislation to facilitate family interests – exempt (recall Waters and her husband’s banking interests?).
Abusing the Byzantine tax structure to steal from the American people – exempt (recall the thousands of pages of shit that ooze from the “Tax Committee” which exempt certain, unnamed businesses and enterprises from Federal taxation for varying periods, which were repaid in “campaign” contributions?).
“Investing” in vaccines prior to the FedGov “reacting” to some imaginary “crisis” – exempt (recall Obola, Axelrod, Jarrett, and others making $millions off of inconsequential “investments” in the Avian flu vaccine?).
Shaking down corporations and people for $millions through threats of “regulatory” discretion – exempt (recall Fauxahontas Warren and the $millions she’s amassed without having ever had a job?).
On and on and on …
