Clearly Menendez should have been in prison years ago.

Oh BOY SENATOR, FROM GOLD BARS TO IRON BARS? Greed downgrades everything, including your soul

[raspade]

Half a billion dollars 🤯😳🤦🏽‍♂️. Yeah, there's no sufficient explanation that neither he nor his wife can give...

[SneakAhtakk]

Bribery? you mean "Lobbying"?

Sen Bob Mendez: 'it was her', 'she did it'

Blaming his wife 😂

[harmonizedigital.]

Probably won't even step down until they put him in the big house

[thebirdnest]

Why he didn’t step down as beyond me our Franken was a prince compared to what we have up there today

[cathleenmackinnon]

Thank goodness "the people" are finally starting to stand up for the truth.

[touchofgrey]

Holy Smokes; half a Billion Dollars??? If it were all $100 bills it would still weigh FIVE TONNES! This guy was sitting on a fortune; now - if he loses the appeal - he'll be just sitting!

[deborahpitcher]

What a shame that we have to have someone like this to stain our democracy

[MySpace]

Egypt bribed him with Tutankhamun's gold which was cursed.

[startopkiller]

Half a Billion Dollar. I need to be doing what he is without the getting caught part.

[CasperWang-nk]

When are they going to investigate Kushner?

[scottspradley]

And not one Democrat yelling witch hunt

[danielsantiago]

From wearing suits to wearing just one orange jumpsuit.👍🇺🇸

[joshrayfield]

He should resign right away. This is really sad, Senator Schumer and the Democratic and Republican Leadership should hold expulsion hearings and the full Senate should expel him if he dose not resign.

[dlebreton]

Would how Thomas has lived for decades not be corruption?

[KennethGreenCMP]

Go ahead and bring in Clarence or should I say Clearance

[billmackay]

May his senior years be very uncomfortable.

[Joseph_]

Hiding lots of cash in his boots 👢 that is a classic way of saving money 😅
