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.

Local news here in LA don’t use the word democratic just say his name.
But if a republican gets a parking ticket it’s their first word.

Some of that democrat equality and democracy going on.

Imma call bs on this one...
There’s 233 100 dollar bills in an inch.
480000 divided by 233 per inch equals 2060 inches of bills, or a stack of 100 dollar bills 171 feet high.
That’s a lot of pairs of pants.

“”that prosecutors have “misrepresented the normal work of a Congressional office.””

I’ll bet he’s RIGHT about that!

This is old trick magicians use to distract you. Menendez is the shiny object to take your eyes off the Biden impeachment inquiry exposing misdeeds.

And nobody said a word and CNN was not there to cover it. Also, if you raided my house if I had a half million in cash, you would not find it in any envelopes. They would be in neatly stacked bundles in the safe along with some gambling chips to at least cover it somehow.

That is why the Mob’s own restaurants that nobody ever seems to pickup the check at. Larry Lawton on youtube talks about the benefits of owning a restaurant when you are in the mob or a gang.
