OK Dems. You voted to kick out Santos. Now the shoe is on the other foot, right?
Hello?
Hello?
Is this thing on?

Senator Ben is just an old forgetful man, so there's no sense in prosecuting the case.

Ha, ha, ha. The demonrats won't vote to get rid of one of their most reliably treasonous toads, regardless the evidence against him. I'll believe it when I see it.

The Menendez’s are toast. I hope they both get assigned to cleaning bathrooms in the prison.

"Menendez is innocent until proved guilty!" the Dems will say -- even as a cloud of corruption surrounds him like the cloud of dirt and dust that surrounds Charlie Brown's friend Pig Pen.

Can we use the Anita Hill mantra for Mr Menendez?
'It's the seriousness of the charge, not the nature of the evidence.'

#1, the RINOs are the ones who put the vote in motion to kick out Santos. Of course the Dems went along, but that was on the stupid GOP. The Dems don't do that kind of stupid stuff to their own. The RINIOs never seem to learn.

Lindsey Graham will testify to the fine character of Menendez, like the last time, offering that Menendez is as honest as he is, a fine friend, and spotless character.

Menendez is a creepy career criminal. But he’s a democrat. Therefore, he is unlikely to be sent to prison.

Republicans need to start demanding Sen. Menendez resign immediately.
After all, the prosecutors KNOW they've got the goods on him or they would not have entered into this agreement.

Menendez has been crooked since day one, and this was known when he was put into the office. They wanted a Senator that would take orders.

Shouldn't they hold his plea up till he has testified?

As with many in Congress, he should be in jail. Roles that apply to us don’t apply here.

"Man pleads guilty to bribing Sen. Bob Menendez"
Sen. Goldbar Bob is breathing a sigh of relief, since they've found someone to take the rap for him. Bob gets a stern warning from Chuck Schumer, and his briber gets 10 to 20 in Club Fed.

How could a Democrat be so sleazy and corrupt, not to say larcenous?

I am not defending bribery obviously but I cannot think that the reason he was bribed was because this is a common practice in DC. Basically lobbyist are legally bribing. It is time for term limits and no lobbyist access to politicians.

#13, someone in Congress should appoint a trustee to audit the cash & gold. Maybe both should go into a frequently-monitored safe deposit box.
Things disappear, y’know. Especially when certain entities are involved.

Small potatoes, indeed. Call me back when you grab Hillary and Barack. Both are more crooked than a dog's hind leg. Apologies to the 4-legged dog.
