Menendez prays with clergy before closing arguments

Sen. Bob Menendez is appealing to a higher court during his corruption trial — heaven. The embattled New Jersey Democrat gathered with a circle of clergy members in the hallway of Newark federal court on Thursday to pray, moments after being hammered by a damning closing argument by the prosecution. Menendez and his ordained supporters had just heard Justice Department prosecutor J.P. Cooney tell jurors that a wealthy donor had bribed him.

How? I have heard very little about this trial. Could you imagine if this were a trial on Mike Lee or Ted Cruz? It would have been wall to wall coverage.

“He’s gonna walk.”

He’s not walking. With all the corruption in the Democrat party, someone is going to have to take one for the team and it ain’t going to be Hillary.

The Google algorithm has all references to the trial of Democrat Senator Menendez (Bob Menendez D-NJ) on a minus 1000 relevance score.

I don’t believe they’re related. I saw no mention in either Bob’s or the brothers bios.

Did the girls featured in the New York Post’s article have an opportunity to take the stand and provide colorful commentary on the outstanding character of Senator Bob Menendez (Democrat-New Jersey)?

Good question. If I were a juror, I’d want to hear what they had to say. Are their visas valid? Can they stay or do they have to go back ?

The question begs, what will Mitch do?

What is his game plan for the potential 3 changes in the Senate:

* McCain's health and where that may go.
* Menedez going to the big house and how is he going to leverage that.
* Thad Cochran's health isn't the greatest either...

What is your game/succession plans here Mitch?

Do the visas for these young ladies allow them to work the profession of their choice?

No one is asking the big one: Will he be gone in time?

The BIG question will be:

How long will it take Google to deep-six all of these references to New Jersey’s Democrat Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ)?

New Jersey
Senator Bob Menendez - Democrat
