    I’m sure this isn’t politically motivated, the republicans would never do that

      Nah, Menendez is actually corrupt, this isn’t the first time he’s been in trouble for this. New Jersey politicians in particular seem to be just shamelessly corrupt, regardless of party affiliation.

        Glad this happening but isn’t Clarence Thomas guilty of the same thing? When do wr go after him. When does the DOJ charge him.

          You will definitely never see me defend Clarence Thomas, I just needed to point out that this isn’t a partisan thing in this one specific instance. Democrats are frequently bad politicians too, it’s just not a solid requirement like it is for the GOP.
