Well, howdy there internet people, Let's Bow again. So today we are going to once again

talk about Senator Menendez and we will go over the most recent developments and my personal relief at the most recent

developments and where it goes from here. Okay so if you have missed the news, a little bit of a recap, even though we've talked about it.

The senator recently ran into a little bit of trouble.

He was indicted on allegations of a pretty wide-ranging corruption

scheme and we talked about it at the time and I was like honestly this isn't something I would normally cover, but there's this weird little foreign policy angle to it, where it appears according to these allegations that he might have been kind of

working for Egypt. The senator has been hit with a superseding indictment for working as an agent of Egypt.

Now, when Americans hear that word agent, especially when you're talking about

something that crosses international lines, you're thinking espionage, James Bond type

stuff. It has a wider meaning. If you were to be engaged in

just general corruption and it crosses international lines and the person on the other side of that

international line is a representative of a foreign government, hey guess what you're

an agent. That really appears to be the heart of the allegations, which to be

to be honest I found very I was relieved not to say the allegations aren't bad but this

senator sat on some committees that would have given him a lot of access to a lot of

information that could have got people hurt. That's not really part of the

allegations. It really looks more like what you would see

as business corruption for the most part

but the allegations cross international lines,

representatives of a foreign government, so on and so forth, makes them an agent.

So not to downplay the charges, they're pretty serious. It's just not as damaging to the United States

as I thought it might end up being, which is good news.
