Not even close to defending this dirtbag who was previous ties to sex trafficking and Epstein level degeneracy; however, given the nature of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee (SFAC), it does make you wonder why exactly they want to take him down now.
What is going on in the background of the DC deep state, that they would want to take out the New Jersey senator? What’s the other move? Perhaps asking who is in the DNC pipeline from New Jersey, may reveal some context.
Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Bob Menendez was indicted for bribery, corruption and using his position in power to enrich himself through payments by foreign actors. This isn’t the first time his propensity to sell influence for financial gain has surfaced, but this is the one likely to take him out. [Read Indictment Here]
The gold bars are a nice touch.
Menendez has long been known as a deep DC corrupt actor; this is not new. However, the existence of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee is based on the participants selling U.S. policy and influence for their personal financial gains. New York Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer knew this when he put Menendez into the Chair position. A position formerly held by Joe Biden, who did the same thing as Menendez albeit with a greater level of plausible deniability.
WASHINGTON DC – […] The indictment published Friday accuses Menendez (D-N.J.) and his now-wife Nadine of having a corrupt relationship with three New Jersey businessmen: Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes. He’s accused of accepting money, a luxury car and lavish gifts in exchange for using his power to help them and the Egyptian government. (read more)
And today is just another Friday; meaning that’s what the SFAC does. Menendez was, perhaps, more conspicuous about it. Perhaps that was the problem.
WASHINGTON DC – […] During a search of the Menendezes’ New Jersey home in June 2022, federal agents probing the alleged scheme found “over $480,000 in cash — much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe” along with $70,000 in Nadine Menendez’s safe-deposit box, the indictment says.
The indictment — the culmination of years of investigation by federal prosecutors in New York — is the latest legal blow for New Jersey’s senior senator and the powerful chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Menendez has survived two previous federal investigations. (read more)
I do not mean to be overly cynical; however, at a certain point you do eventually have to stop the pretending game.
The Senate Foreign Affairs Committee (SFAC) is structurally designed to sell U.S. foreign policy. We all know the game of multinational corporations positioning their investment assets in various countries based on the expectation of U.S. foreign policy to support those investments. It is inside this network of long-established relationships that all of the various quid-pro-quos originate.
The Senate chamber as an institution is where most of the generational level corruption emanates; when the 17th amendment was created, this was the function and purpose for the constitutional change as organized by banking interests. In the decades since inception, the corruption within the upper chamber has become systemic. The Senate became entirely predicated on having greater power within the legislative branch.
Inside this institutional system, each Senate committee has an operational objective in alignment with the interests of the DC business. The Senate is detached from any operational function that would be considered representative of the American voter. The Senate Intel Committee supports the weaponized intelligence state. The Senate Finance and Banking committee supports the interests of big banks, who then reward the committee members. The Senate Judiciary Committee is structured to lean into the corruption needed in the Judicial branch, by controlling appointments and nominations. And so it goes, and so it goes.
Every member on the SFAC uses their position for personal and familial gain. For their specific expertise, the SFAC funding mechanism is by foreign governments and multinational corporations with foreign policy interests. It’s what they do. Menendez is charged with the crime of doing what the Senate Foreign Affairs committee does; participate in bribery and corruption – although the pretending term is “lobbying.”
So, what’s the play? What’s going on in the background that would permit the system to remove Menendez? … and why now?
That’s where the focus should be.
WASHINGTON – […] Allegedly Menendez, starting in mid-2018, privately maintained close relations with Egyptian officials and businesspeople and readily shared sensitive information with his associates about U.S. policy toward Cairo.
In May 2018, Menendez allegedly disclosed to Hana at a private dinner that a U.S. government ban on sales of small arms and ammunition to Egypt has been lifted, which Hana passed on to the Egyptian official.
Later that month, Menendez allegedly ghost-wrote Cairo’s lobbying pitch to other U.S. senators seeking support for the release of $300 million in U.S. aid to Egypt.
In July, after meeting with Egyptian military officials, Menendez allegedly had Nadine tell Hana that he was signing off on the sale of 46,000 120mm target practice rounds and 10,000 rounds of tank ammunition worth $99 million.
“NOTE: These tank rounds are for tanks they have had for many years. They are using these in the Sinai for the counter-terrorism campaign,” Menendez allegedly said in a text to Nadine, which she forwarded to Hana.
The State Department two months later announced it had approved the sale of the package of General Dynamics-made high-explosive and armor-piercing rounds, to help Cairo fight Islamic State militants, and the target rounds, to train M1 Abrams tank crews. (read more)
Ukraine is getting more than $150 billion.
…. and tomorrow is just another Saturday.


Team Obama is insulated from Menendez’s corruption. So there won’t be any blowback. They will be able to install a loyal left wing partisan. The doj will receive bipartisan praise for this move. Those involved will receive commendations and promotions, and they will be eligible for bipartisan appointments. It seems like a win win for the left
As to “why now.” The doj will use this to refute Trumps’s charge of a “two tiered justice system,”during election season. Right now is the most politically opportune time.
True – I think Sundance’s seeing the “ strings” reference has now become seeing thick, stage grade, hemp rope ( dyed dark blue for good measure )
An obvious try at a political narrative.
Bongino speculated that Menendez must have done something to really piss off the Obama string pullers, since otherwise Democrats rarely go after their own for corruption. Sounds plausible to me. It’s not like Menendez is suddenly being accused of corruption for the first time; he has a long history of ethics “problems”… But they have tolerated it up to now.
So I think its yet another distraction to pull the news cycle (and the public’s attention) away from Biden’s widening stream of failures and exposed crimes, and to keep Ozero’s crimes in the media’s lockbox.
Iran deal anti-vote? Passed this on from another Treeper.
I honestly don’t know, WSB. I don’t know how important the Iran deal is to the Administration, relative to everything else they’re trying to ram through. Optics is Everything to them ….. so there’s an equal chance they’re just trying to distract the news-consuming public for a short while.
Could be true, GB.
I also saw elsewhere online that he was against the Iran $6b prisoner swap.
And that could be it, since the original Iran deal was Obama’s baby.
So he probably did tick off the Obama traitors who arranged the swap. That could be their motivation to punish him for his failure to bow to the brilliance of “Te One.”
Well, the Impeachment Inquiry starts Thursday.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be wonderful if Menendez opened his mouth about the Chosen One. We could get a real race war as Menendez is already trying to play the Hispanic card.
🤣🤣
You hit the nail on the head.
I wonder if Menendez has something on members of the Senate and they want to get in front of it to discredit him. He’s being thrown under the bus for reasons yet revealed. Just my opinion, hunch.
Does this warrant
-yet another
“ investigation”;
giving cause for silencing?
BINGO, he is considered a danger and threat to some powerful Dem politicians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤔
No worries. When the trial comes around Lyndsey Graham will testify in Menendez favor. He will be his #1 character witness. Pathetic uniparty. Just like the last trial with Menendez, this will go nowhere.
We were in Egypt this spring for a couple weeks. I don’t think that money the US sends yearly really filters down to the working class……. Yes the gold bars are an epic touch, maybe should have gotten bitcoin..
This indictment has got me thinking about the more general level of corruption.
Just a few years ago when AOC was cast in her current role she couldn’t afford to pay rent in DC; I know this because she was quite public and vocal about it.
Recently someone stated that she was now worth $29 MILLION. They did not include a cite, but I’d be interested in knowing, if it’s true, how someone struggling to pay rent has assets worth $29 MILLION just a very few years later. It almost seems worthy of a Tucker Carlson or 60 Minutes (not that I watch that anymore) Special.
And then repeat for every single person in Congress..
They pretend not to notice. The media’s first amendment job is to investigate and expose our corrupt government in order to limit their ability to be corrupt. Instead, they have become propaganda readers for the Ministry of “Truth”.
Look at the medias wealth for keeping the secrets secret. They become celebrities worth millions and all they are doing is reading what Obama has told them to read.
she came from a wealthy family….
The Hyphen spent nearly her entire formative years in a middle/upper middle class area of Westchester County (Yorktown Heights), her late father was an architect and she did attend Boston U. however I would not say her family was wealthy.
Evidently Menendez is no longer useful to the Dems. Otherwise, this would have all been covered up. Both the GOP and Dems have dirt on their people to keep them in line. Once they can no longer further GOP/Dem agendas, out they go!
JINO Menendez didn’t stay quiet about the latest $6B gift from the uniparty to the ayatollaholes.
FDC, all of it.
Remember when he was on a plane with prostitutes. Too bad Epstein tapes hv been burned. This sleeze is wht most of them are. Sleeze greedy money grabbing ilk. Now if only Pelosies jackets were exposed with envelopes of cash and stacks of gold bars in her lingerie drawer
She stores her filthy lucre in the ice cream freezer. The lingerie drawer is for restraints and leather.
The real laws that exist, say he aided Foreign Interests in Seditious Treason, plus who knows what other things are yet to surface. A whole RICO violating operation, a literal criminal enterprise. I hope he takes down Schumer and the other Godfather Cronies with him. DC Politicians are the bane of America’s existence and her destruction, if not stopped. Hang them all.
Frat Boy Rubio is another that needs a house cleaning. Working with Menendez on a firefighter cancer registry, for what ends! Always doing some good guy, boy scout, under the radar deceptive busy work. How many deaths are they all responsible for. The fire fighting cancer causing foam used by honest men and women, giving up their lives to save lives. For personal profits.
And why do all these men have wives that dress like Tarts, Strippers, Hookers. The Real Housewives of Washington DC!!
Have you seen Schumer’s wife?
Guessing she’s known where the bodies are buried since 1969. Any other theories?
Hideous. Just like him.
Obama tried to take him out before for criticising the Iran Nuke-Enabling and Hizbollah Financing deal but it didn’t take. But like with Trump, Edwards, Blagojovich and others The One never forgives, never forgets and still has DoJ/FBI operatives.
The only reason GESTAPOBAMA moves against upper echelon dems is crossing Black Jesus and/or not sharing the graft with
POTUS, the Politburo biggies like Schumer and Pelosi and DNC.
Obama also didn’t like it when Menendez wad publicly critical about Obama’s new policy towards Cuba.
Why now?
To make sure the shiny light is pointed far away from “all roads lead to Obama”.
They must need a distraction.
Prediction: there’s gonna be a lot of “appointing” going on in Dem world in the next few months; there is more than one way—besides stealing elections—to bypass the American electorate. Just ask Warren Commission alumnus Gerald Ford.
Maybe for this from Sept. 11 this year?
“Menendez voices ‘concerns’ about $6 billion US-Iran prisoner swap”
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4198776-menendez-voices-concerns-about-6-billion-u-s-iran-prisoner-swap/
Before the parroting media’s use of the word “prisoner,” remember that two of the “prisoners” (Tahbaz and Sharqi) were not continuing residents of Evin prison at the time of the deal, but on house arrest. Therefore, the term “prisoners” isn’t quite the authentic characterization of the situation, although the media is using it and all its connotations to prop up the rouse and explain the money transfer.
It’s all so they can claim equivalency with Trump and associated horseshit indictments.
A little history on this scumbag.
When he was just a congressman, he got a grant for some BS charity that was from his town. He owned the building the charity rented and received four times the rent of surrounding buildings.
It was decided that this wasn’t corrupt. New Jersey politicians are the worst.
I heard a good suggestion today by Charlie Kirk. Is this Deep State telling the other senators that “we own you and can take you out whenever we want “.
The Deep State wants to ensure the senate keeps the money flowing. They are concerned with the House talks about spending cuts.
BUT – if congressperson’s hands are clean then power mongers will have a harder time making a crime stick. Notice that I didn’t say it’s impossible – and even if innocent they can use the power of the government to financially destroy a target. I really think DC is ruled by the devil.
No CR’s until inauguration day at the earliest.
“Now that he is indicted, Menendez will have to step down as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Rules for the Senate Democratic caucus say that any member who is charged with a felony must step aside from a leadership position.”

So who’s “pre planned replacement” this time?
Fetterman?
It actually wouldn’t shock me if that happened. 🤣
Which Fetterman?
The real one has Dumbo ears and a vacant look. The fake one looks smug, like he thinks he is getting away with something (and the ears are pinned back).
THAT was funny!😉😁😂
Well, it’s New Jersey, so, what’s the problem?
“Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Bob Menendez was indicted for bribery, corruption and using his position in power to enrich himself through payments by foreign actors. “
Is Menendez another word for Biden?
This is what criminals do.
Menendez sleeps with the fishes.
Precursor to warn bumbling Joe. Resignation or cracky g sonny boy goes to prison. Maybe an actual impeachment and conviction. Joe really messed up. Barry is not happy.
His second wife is even the typical tall blonde with breast implants.
Low hanging fruit.
Long day. At first I thought your comment referred to Perot Conservative’s comment on Melendez’s wife’s implants.
I thought the same thing! LOL!!!
Judge acquits Sen. Menendez on some charges
January 24, *2018*
https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/24/politics/menendez-acquitted/index.html
The charges on which they were acquitted focused on political donations made by Melgen, a wealthy ophthalmologist from Florida, to political funds, including a Super PAC, that supported Menendez. Prosecutors argued that the donations were in exchange for political favors from Menendez and attempted to tie the timing of the donations to “official acts” performed by the senator. For example, prosecutors tried to demonstrate a connection between a $60,000 donation to Menendez’s legal defense fund and the New Jersey Democratic State Committee and a request by Menendez the same day to meet with Ambassador William Brownfield about a cargo contract dispute involving Melgen.
Melgen is also alleged to have bribed Menendez with flights on his private jet and a luxurious vacation to Paris. Menendez is also charged with making false statements in relation to his Senate financial disclosure forms. Those charges still stand in the case.
Both men deny all charges.
Walls wrote in a 50-page opinion that while political contributions can be the subject of a bribery case, the prosecution in this case did not demonstrate an explicit “quid pro quo” agreement between Menendez and Melgen in relation to Melgen’s contributions.

Would any of these be part of the Obama Syndicate?
BREAKING *Dallas, Texas black Mayor Eric Johnson has switched parties from Democrat to Republican
If this is a genuine black man leaving the plantation then its a pretty big deal but you cant really switch parties unless you are a MAGA Republican. The other two parties have joined forces to form a UniParty. Not sure if hes aware of that yet.
In any case, ‘this is a big move – first this really kneecaps the blue Texas push. Dallas County provides the biggest Democrat vote margin of any county in the state. It’s their crown jewel – now their mayor tacitly rejects the Dem party being something that benefits TX in area with a bad Dem trend present.
Furthermore, impacting the urban minority cultures of Atlanta, Philly, Milwaukee, and Detroit just received a huge tailwind.’
Mine is almost 17. Smart cookie. Would do a much better job running the country than someone ai could mention.
Yeah, just like Joe Lieberman and Arlen Specter. Tricks are for kids.
they have control of doj, they will control the narrative.
The rumor is that he is considered dangerous and a real threat to Senate Democrats and even the Clintons and Obama’s!!! The thought is if the Republicans sweep both Houses and the Presidency in 2024 he would be immediately looked at for criminal indictment and the DEMS FEAR HE WOULD CUT A DEAL TO NAME NAMES AND SPECIFIC INSTANCES OF DEM CORRUPTION COMMITTED BY A NUMBER OF DEM POLITICIANS TO GET A LIGHT SENTENCE!!! The cabal especially Obama want him taken out now because he has the smoking gun evidence on Barry (who he reportedly hates with a passion) and could put him in great jeopardy!!! Menedez is basically a sociopath who sexually assaulted and nearly raped Hillary aid Huma Abbedan in his own Senate Office late one night about ten years ago when they ended up alone with each other!!!
If he hates Barry and could destroy his rep, I’m thinking he’s of use to us.

How do they expect a US Senator to maintain a home in New Jersey and one in Washington DC plus taxes in New Jersey and a successful lifestyle on $179,000 a year without taking bribes?
Do you think that Schumer, McConnell and Graham are going to standby while enabling CEOs of companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook and Twitter to become billionaires while they live on crumbs.
The entire place needs to be burned down and start all over!

Question: What is your estimate of the percentage of legal, voting Americans who do not yet understand-appreciate that a large percentage of our elected GOVT representation — at Federal, state, and Local levels — is, bought and paid for, essentially, by lobbyist payola as doled-out by multi-billionaires, multi-billion dollar corporations, and a motley assortment of self-serving sociopathic shakers and movers from within our nation and abroad?
IOW: What percentage of We The People do not yet understand-appreciate that, to such a large percentage of our self-serving elected GOVT representatives, our American interests mean little more than jack-squat?
IOW: What percentage of We The People do not yet understand-appreciate that, when Hussein Obozo — and his many rat minions, including those in his current 3rd administration — were talking about fundamentally transforming America, they were NOT talking about transforming our GOVT — no, because already they largely control our Republic — but, rather, they were, and, continue, to work toward the fundamental transformation of our NATION?
IOW: Hussein Obozo and company want to transform our NATION away from one where We The People continue to enjoy popular sovereignty —- where, ultimately, We The People are in charge — to one which is centrally commanded and controlled by an oligarchy or autocrat.
EXIT Question: What percentage of We The People understand-appreciate that Hussein Obozo and his many rat minions are winning this existential struggle … and yet, these many of We The People have next to no idea of what, in terms of patriotic duty, is needed in order to turn the tables back to our NATION as it was originally intended and designed?

Better headline: “NJ Sen indicted for cutting in on FJB’s DE action and kicking sand in his face.”
Yes, but does he have any highly classified information for sale at discounted prices.
Democrat Senator Bob Menendez and his wife are indicted for ‘accepting $400,000 in gold bars and cash from mob-linked New Jersey developer in return for favors – and giving Egyptian businessman highly sensitive U.S. information’

That’s his WIFE?
Hitting every branch on the ugly tree, and then apparently on the corruption tree
And the dress is ‘off the rack’.
I see what you did there. Approve.
Still on the rack in that photo.
😏
Oh my!
Looks like a tran.
Menendez is low hanging fruit. His indictment proves the DoJ/FBI are tough on corruption, even by senators, so they couldn’t possibly be guilty of letting Biden slide. A pawn sacrifice in a bigger game.
If I were Menendez, I would spill my guts!
Why was Menendez indicted for things that Democrats do every day?
Exactly! You don’t think that Schumer, Nadler and Schiff aren’t getting millions of dollars out of the billions we give to Israel????
His ‘friends’ want him out. Menendez is no longer a useful idiot. Ask Andrew Cuomo.
If you haven’t noticed Italians and Cubans aren’t the tribe that’s running the Biden White House!
‘But it turns out that there’s also an interesting Joe and Hunter Biden connection to Bob Menendez, as the House GOP was quick to point out.’
“When an aide to Senator Robert Menendez requested that then VP-Biden host the U.S.-Spain Council’s 2010 annual meeting at his official Naval Observatory residence in Washington DC, he contacted Hunter Biden’s business partner rather than Joe’s White House office.”
…Schwerin was even contacted by Danny O’Brien, then chief of staff to U.S.-Spain Council chair Senator Menendez, contacted Schwerin asking if Vice President Biden could host the group’s annual meeting at the VP residence.
Schwerin wrote to Hunter about the opportunity that posed to connect them with potential future clients.

LOL!!!!! Obama and team want this insect GONE!!!
Menendez, fight to the and!!!!
END!!!!
The “Why Now” means Republican House has the goods on Biden.
The only cards Biden can play are “This could be you, Senator/Representatives!”
Interesting that Eric Holder is commenting too
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/09/22/eric-holder-calls-on-sen-bob-menendez-to-resign/
Through Holder, Obama is telling Dems to call for Menendez to resign.
The most lucrative committees to get on are the House & Senate Armed Services & House & Senate Foreign Relations which this decades long criminal is the Chairman (Capo) of. These 2 committees are essential for War & Foreign Aid and are heavily targeted by foreign lobbies thus are very lucrative that congressional criminals are eager to get on.
ANY THOUGHTS? (I posted this as a reply to BK on page 2)
“The gold bars was a nice touch to tangle up the preppers, libertarian, RonPaul, LewRockwell, paleo-conservative, crowds into this facade.”
Menendez may have been a liability.
He’s an “Epstein” wannabe, and was saved at trail, just like Epstein.
What if his actions shed light on Biden’s actions?
Then, the DOJ gets to say “see, we indict dem’s too, so your “2 tier” accusation won’t stick.”
I’m prolly wrong but they’re devious devils.
I am curious to see what fellow politicians Menendez is going to take down with him. The inverse understanding of where one goes we all go, or, as Hillary Clinton might say you take me down I’ll take you all down with me?
The egghead should start naming names. Bring them all down with him.
somebody wasn’t kicking enuf upstairs…. the players will carve him up and out the door he goes….
They finally figured out that piling even more bogus indictments onto Trump was not working as intended. But they still needed another big distraction. So Menedez drew the short-straw.
Bidens got much more then Manila Menendez, so is the DOJ blowing smoke to justify their existence, they could have thrown the names of all senators in a hat and pull one out, and still made a pinch, bribery is only lobbying in DC
third times a charm, they’ll take him down on this one.
There is no honor among thieves. Eventually you will get on the wrong side of the syndicate. Then they will take you out. They have something on all of them. I think Menendez did something to step out of line. So they threw him under the bus. They keep everyone else in line. Until.
That is one theory.
Was he somehow going to whistle blow?
Was he going to do a shocking defection from the party?
Or is a scapegoat to fool some continued zombies into thinking there is integrity still in the committee?
Menendez is not the type for this. I believe for whatever reason, he is being made an example.
This is how democrats retain their rank and file unity. They rule by fear, apparently in their
own house as well.
