Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey has been indicted on bribery charges.

Federal agents found cash "stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing" in his home.

This is the second time Menendez has been charged with bribery.

Federal agents found more than $480,000 in cash hidden in Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez's home, according to the newly-unsealed indictment against the New Jersey senator.

Menendez is facing bribery charges for the second time in six years.

According to the indictment, federal agents executed search warrants on the New Jersey senator's home in June 2022, where they found the "fruits" of the bribery agreement that Menendez and his wife, Nadine, had allegedly made with three New Jersey businessmen.

That included more than $480,000 in cash that was "stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe."

The indictment alleges that the fingerprints of one of the businessmen were found on some of the envelopes, and that some of the envelopes were "found inside jackets" emblazoned with Menendez's name.

Thats $23,300 per inch then.

$480,000 / $23,300/inch = 20.6 inches.

Saw that later down the thread...no big deal. A 20” stack of hundreds is still a nice thing to have. Legally.
