Gold Barred

Bob Menendez has been busted:

The ex-senator was sentenced along with two co-conspirators, New Jersey businessmen Wael Hana and Fred Daibes, who received more than seven years and eight years respectively, on Wednesday, federal attorneys in New York announced. In exchange for the money and luxury items, prosecutors said the Democrat lawmaker “agreed and promised to use his power and influence as a Senator to seek to protect” his co-conspirators, including taking actions to benefit the governments of Egypt and Qatar on their behalf. He also attempted to disrupt the subsequent criminal investigations into his associates, and “conspired and endeavored to obstruct justice in connection with the federal investigation” into his entire scheme.

Too many bribes to keep...
