Breitbart: Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) claimed Monday morning he has withdrawn “thousands of dollars in cash” over the past three decades after federal prosecutors indicted him on bribery allegations following the purported discovery of $480,000 in cash and more than $100,000 in gold bars during a search of his home last summer.
Menendez’s claim came during a press conference that New Jersey.com noted was at the Hudson Community College Union City, New Jersey, campus. Notably, the community college is situated in New Jersey’s Eighth Congressional District, which his son, Rep. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), represents.
“For 30 years, I have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings account, which I have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family facing confiscation in Cuba,” Menendez, who has called the allegations “baseless,” claimed in his first public appearance since the indictment.
“Now, this may seem old-fashioned, but these were monies drawn from my personal savings account, based on the income that I have lawfully derived over those 30 years,” he added. more
So the Federal Reserve not s found have dates and Treasury Secretary name starting in the 1990s?

That’s a reasonable explanation. That doesn’t mean I have to believe him, though, and I don’t.
I heard on the radio that envelopes stuffed with cash were found in suit coats and that fingerprints and DNA from the suspected briber were on them.
Lousy liar, he is.
The fact that he’s a lying sack of shit goes without saying.
He’s a democrat, after all.
I’m sure his bank will be able to verify this.
Fine. Show us the bank records to support your claim.
He says he kept all that cash at home because of his traumatic memories of Cuba from his childhood. Except he was born in NYC.
Wow, I need to start checking the pockets of my suit coats.
And….I found a nickel and four pennies. Only $479,999.91 short of what I apparently need to erase my Cuban memories. Maybe I’ll start looking under the couch cushions next.
What is really irritating is that he expects us to believe these obvious lies. He thinks we are that stupid.
Right, and I am Cleopatra Queen of the Nile
And the gold bars were for doing his own fillings because, ya know, Cuba.
You all are missing a very important point. The government believes any cash you have has come from illicit activity. Look at the people who have lost everything because the government said it was drug money. The being said this guy is guilty.
So, we all believe the same LE traitors who are persecuting President Trump and the J6 people and all Americans?
Menendez is no more likely a liar than the KNOWN perjurers Merrick Garland and Chris Wray.
Since he has a (D) behind his name, I’m fairly certain that he’s corrupt – but I know at least three (3) people who keep (what I consider) large amounts of cash on hand because they don’t trust the Usurper Biden’s economy and the rumors of the Feds sweeping Savings accounts. Maybe Menendez knows more than we?

Under biden, it is prudent to stash cash versus leaving it in the bank.
At least I get to watch it “devalue” as inflation skyrockets as Biden/Obama Policies bear fruit and destroys the US Economically.
Send him his wife and family back to Cuba for the rest of their lives aka “GITMO”.
Gold at two thousand per ounce is about thirty percent cheaper in cash money buying power than it was two years ago. The price in the face of inflation since the election was stolen is solid evidence the gold market is heavily manipulated.
A bribe in fiat fades over time, a bribe in gold is forever.
