More trouble for Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey: Federal prosecutors have rewritten their indictment against the senator to accuse him of acting as a foreign agent on behalf of Egypt. The superseding indictment, filed in Manhattan federal court on Thursday, accuses Menendez of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires people to register with the US government if they are acting as “an agent of a foreign principal.” His wife, Nadine Menendez, is similarly charged, as is a third defendant, Wael Hana, per the New York Times. As a member of Congress, Menendez would have been prohibited from being an agent of a foreign government, even if he did register as one. The indictment says the conspiracy occurred from January 2018 to June 2022.
The Guardian previously detailed some of the allegations specific to Egypt: Menendez allegedly obtained details from the State Department about people working at the US embassy in Cairo, then turned over the information to Egyptian officials. The original indictment stated that “although this information was not classified, it was deemed highly sensitive because it could pose significant operational security concerns if disclosed to a foreign government or if made public.” The allegations also accuse Menendez of using his clout to try to increase military sales to Egypt in exchange for bribes, per the Times.
So… He was a normal senator then. He just didn’t have enough buffers, as Mr. Chi Chi would say.
Naw, its just time for the DemonRats to publicly sacrifice one of their own so that they can falsely claim to have some political integrity!
If every member of Congress were investigated they’d find 99% compromised in some way, beholding to other countries or corporations and having used their offices for personal gain. We have a corrupt criminal cabal making decisions and enforcing policy that ignores the best interest of the American people and the stability of this country. The American people suffer so these few can enrich themselves. It is most likely too late to avoid collapse or worse at this point. We have a rough ride ahead.
Looks as if Senator Bob pulled the short straw. Wonder if he ends up in prison.
We should start hanging traitors again.
Biden is an agent of China. McConnell is an agent of China. Hillary Clinton is an agent of China. Bill Clinton is an agent of China. This guy is small potatoes.
“So… He was a normal senator then.” – Yep. And he still is and will remain so. He’ll have to be figuratively dragged out of there. There’s still money to be made. We all know he’s not the only one on the take.
REV UP THEM TRACTORS ! HEMP FARMERS.
WE NEED THE ROPE ! the leaf & bud
can go to the hippies for CBD.
He defied the Iranian deal, ValJar has taken him out at the knees to send a message.
I agree they will use his political assassination as air cover to legitimate the persecution of PDJT as no crisis should go to waste.
My hope is that he turns on the elite scum to save himself but since the DOJ fox runs the henhouse it would just get buried.
@ No mercy: We would need more rope.
