Former Sen. Bob Menendez sentenced to 11 years in prison in gold bar bribery case

 

A judge sentenced an emotional former Sen. Bob Menendez to 11 years in prison Wednesday for a years-long bribery and corruption scheme that saw him rewarded with gold bars and stacks of cash.

Menendez had pleaded with U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein for mercy, twice breaking down in tears.

“I have lost everything,” the New Jersey Democrat said, after recounting actions he said he had taken to help others while in the Senate, a job he was forced to resign after his conviction.

“For a man who spent his entire life in public service, every day I am awake is a punishment,” said Menendez, who was chair of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee at the time he took the payoffs.

Could not have happened to a nicer guy.  I am curious why he didn't ask Biden for a pardon.

Whelp, this one is a doozy of an indictment. That's a lot of cash and gold bars laying around your house for the feds to find. Seems he was also selling secrets to the Egyptians.

I can't believe he's really trying to say he's just got the ''grandpa that hides money in his socks" syndrome.
