Senator Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) is about to go on trial in New Jersey for corruption offenses. Both he and the government are entitled to a fair trial, whatever the charged offenses, just as in the case of every criminal defendant.
No defendant deserves special treatment because he’s a big shot public figure — even the former chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and current member and ranking member of several other committees, as Menendez is.

Hopefully one less treasonous scumbag voting on immigration reform.
...and the bogus Russia investigation unfairly punishes everybody that voted for Trump.
Sure, yet it’s completely fair to Trump’s voters to waste his administration’s time with Mueller’s baseless and pointless investigation.
The only difference here is that with Menendez there is evidence, and plenty of it!
Have the House and Senate concluded their “investigations”?
Then next time, don’t vote for a criminal!
These are the same jerks who want to get rid of President Trump because they don't like him... Cry me a river liberals... we don't give a damn about you or your supporters any more. Beat me up once, shame on you. Beat me up EVERY DAMN time and it's shame on me for allowing it. Eff you Liberal Elites... take your pity party someplace else.
A Nixon impeachment would unfairly punish Republican voters.
See! I can play that game too!
The left is realizing that their ignoring the Menendez problem doesn’t mean a thing. It’s here and it is a huge monster that will eat a deep wide and continual hole in the Democrat party. Bye bye assholes.

But the real issue is that they don’t want the jury to realize how critical Menendez might be to New Jersey, and indeed, the nation, in having to be on the Senate floor for his votes. They don’t want a jury to recognize the day-to-day gravitas possessed even by an indicted defendant. The judge has already refused Menendez’s request that the judge tell the jury he is absent because of a Senate vote.
The author militates for liberal jury nullification - to disregard the law because the indicted is a political big shot.
If anything, such a "public servant" should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one.
The author is also projecting their feelings onto prosecutors, who want this to be a regular trial, rather than a political spectacle.
Must be rough on ins familt,too.
That’s one of the reason you should do it!
Life is unfair, Joel.
Deal with it or get over it................
Please, allow me to translate:
Must be rough on his family,too.
That’s one of the reasons you should not do it!
Yeah,
And if this dirt bag Menendez gets the hook, most probably Christi replaces him with himself. Rumor has it the fat guy can’t find another job.
Question is, Christie is a publicity hog like Chuck Schumer and as big an ass. so how will this all go?
So Libtards will now agree that Mueller’s “investigation” unfairly seeks to penalize Trump voters and we can just shut that down, ok?

Typical liberal double-talk. The rest of the article is completely about giving Senator Menendez special treatment in court because he's so important.
I find it ludicrous that Cohen compares an indicted alleged bribed senator to another senator with brain cancer even though I despise both of them.
Cohen wrote this screed playing to his leftist Democrat pals.
The Demonic Party unfairly punishes America...
