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.

I'm certain there's a perfectly innocent explanation for this.

This was a set-up to give Joe and Hunter a defense...”See, everybody’s doing it”.

I bet they missed some.

How much did he kickback to Schumer?

You are correct and Menendez is sleezy just like Hunter Biden. Apply the same standards to Hunter, please Mr. Attorney General.

I’m surprised they didn’t find the money in Melania’s stockings.

Look, some people just don’t trust banks. Yeah… that’s the ticket, Senator.

I’m curious, what about the pedophile chargers for the multiple visits to Epstein’s Island? IIRC, he has been accused by one of the victims.

Hey, the manifests of the Lolita express are public. His name was on at least three of them.

Where are all the videos the FBI confiscated from NYC, NM ranch and the island? Is Giselle still above ground?

They had to have cash at home, the Menendez’s go to a lot of garage sales on the weekends.

I believe democRAT politicians call that 'walking around money' in Newark.

So, is this method better or worse than the Louisianan's approach? Frankly, I prefer the frozen food approach. Menendez's was more lucrative, I guess.

A few days later, on 3 August 2005, FBI agents raided Jefferson's home in Northeast Washington and, as noted in an 83-page affidavit filed to support a subsequent raid on his Congressional office, "found $90,000 of the cash in the freezer, in $10,000 increments wrapped in aluminum foil and stuffed inside frozen-food containers".

The gold bars were a good way to maintain value. Keeping around a bunch of cash is subject to the Inflation tax. It is Karma that one of the players responsible for that tax is hurt by it.

If they found $480K just lying around the house, imagine how much more is squirreled away elsewhere.

[SuperLuminal]

What is wrong with hiding cash in clothing hanging in the closet?

Nothing...
I do the same thing for many years...
When you get to be my age, you need to be sure that you always have cash on you no matter which clothes you are wearing that day or night...

Bob saw the Biden’s get away with it, SO WHY NOT??
