Sen. Bob Menendez is going to be charged with "corruption."
Embattled Sen. Robert Menendez is unlikely to resign his Senate seat amid looming criminal corruption charges that he allegedly used his office to benefit a well-heeled donor, according to sources familiar with the matter.Menendez has been the most vocal democrat critic of Obama foreign policy:Instead, Menendez, who has survived past scrutiny by federal prosecutors over his actions for years, plans to fight the Justice Department and clear his name, sources said. At a press conference in Newark on Friday evening, he said that he has broken no laws and made no mention of plans to step down.
“Let me be very clear, very clear. I have always conducted myself appropriately and in accordance with the law,” Menendez said. “I am not going anywhere.”
It remains to be seen whether Menendez can hang onto his spot as ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee once corruption charges are filed. Two other senators in recent years, the late Ted Stevens of Alaska and John Ensign of Nevada, each stepped aside from leadership posts as they faced scrutiny over their actions in public office. And Menendez as well as Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) are likely to face heightened pressure after the Justice Department unveils the charges.
While the federal investigation has been ongoing, the timing of the charges is curious. Menendez has been one of the top Democratic critics in Congress of the Obama administration's negotiations and forthcoming deal with Iran over the Islamic Republic's nuclear ambitions.

Stalin would Shoot a few to keep the others under control ,LOL
No.
His KGB fed his political opponents (alive) into furnaces. I front of the others.
Menendez knows as well as any member of the Democrat Cult how vicious they can be. His acts of contrition to the 3-M president will undoubtedly be extraordinary.
Look for Menendez to have a fatal cardiac event in the near future, think Hillary, Reid, soetero.
