Democrat Senator Bob Menendez has been indicted on federal corruption charges.

According to the Department of Justice, the Senator took hundreds of thousands of dollars

of bribes from a handful of New Jersey businessmen. The bribes, according to the indictment,

included, quote, cash, gold payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low or no-show

job, a luxury vehicle, and other things of value. And federal investigators have pretty good

evidence for the charges since they reportedly found gold bars and cash stuffed throughout

the Senator's home and hidden in his clothing. The purpose of the bribes was not only to enrich

these three businessmen, but also, apparently, to benefit Egypt, which makes sense since Menendez

was until just a couple of days ago, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

The same position that coincidentally, Joe Biden held until he became Vice President.

It also makes sense that the DOJ would go after Menendez now, not because his crimes are

particularly new or urgent. Prosecutors have known about them since at least 2015

when Menendez was first prosecuted for this sort of thing, though that case ended in a mistrial.

And in fact, Menendez's corruption has been widely known and even a Washington punchline

for many years. The man is obviously corrupt, but so is the DOJ, which is prosecuting Menendez now

to take the heat off of Joe Biden, who committed the exact same crimes on a much larger scale.
