All good points and they do tend to eat their own when exposed. Perhaps his fellow Dems not protecting him will cause some hard feelings and lead to bigger fish. We can only hope.
It's unclear in the article and I'd imagine that would be determined by a sentencing hearing. In the mean time maybe he'll be able to broker a deal in exchange for information that leads to more players. We'll have to stay tuned.
It's about damn time!!!! How long has this been going on with him???
At this rate, we won't even get to the beginning rounds of holding these asshats accountable.
Not that I'm specifically advocating for it on GAW (yet), but it would go much, much faster if we gathered our "torches and pitchforks" and took to personally holding [them] properly accountable ourselves.
At our current pace, the U.S. will be long gone and long forgotten before the sucka-assed asshats are brought to justice.
One down, a thousand to go…and that would put a dent in government corruption.
I hope this will put some pressure on the low level rats and they start to roll over on others.
Probably all dems are equally guilty, but I bet that only the ones that don't tow the line get prosecuted.
What did he do (other than the obvious) that brought on the prosecution? Or is it that his corruption was too obvious to ignore?
It's sad that we all will have to pay to support him in prison for the rest of his life.

U know he must have pissed someone off to get convicted in this public dem world
Do you mean convicted, not convinced?
Oh, typo - I see the headline.
Cell phone auto correct is the bane of my existence sometimes. Especially while multitasking.
LOL! Got it! Mine too.
So is Menendez going to the big house?

They btried to get him a few years ago. It did not stick that time. I guess this time a real jury heard the charges.
Yes that's correct in 2015, the jury "failed" to reach a verdict. Sounds like someone got to them or stacked the jury from the hop.
he be fuked.....about time
Yes to both.
Just one more charge. Cmon man
Ha, I thought the same!
And his sentence will be to make a pathetic televised apology.
That would be a huge disappointment.

For the sake of my children I hope it doesn't come down to that but I don't disagree with you either.
