Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez is set to report to federal prison on Tuesday to begin serving an 11-year sentence for accepting bribes of gold and cash and acting as an agent of Egypt. The New Jersey Democrat has been mocked for the crimes as “Gold Bar Bob,” according to his own lawyer.
Menendez’s lawyers revealed in court papers last month that he is expected to be housed at a facility in eastern Pennsylvania that has both a medium-security prison and a minimum-security prison camp. Given the white-collar nature of his crimes, it’s likely he’ll end up in the camp.
Pleading for leniency, Menendez told a judge at his sentencing in January: “I am far from a perfect man. I have made more than my share of mistakes and bad decisions. I’ve done far more good than bad.”
Menendez has also appeared to be angling for a pardon from President Donald Trump, aligning himself with the Republican’s criticisms of the judicial system, particularly in New York City.
Federal Prison is basically the country clubs of prison. It’s where all the white collars go.
But atleast its prison, he deserves it.
I would love for Eric Adams next, but we know that ain’t happening.

This is hardly surprising for one of his character.
He’ll do three years in “camp” and be released back to the mansion. I don’t think this is going to deter any other oligarchs from taking bribes.
One down, hundreds to go.
I wonder why he hasn’t been pardoned yet. This is hero level stuff by Trump’s standards.
He didn’t “donate” to Trump’s “inauguration fund”.

This guy is such a piece of shit and deserves much worse in my opinion. I looked into the case for a min just to enjoy some of the details of him being taken down.
One of my favorite moments was when he revealed that he truly has no spine (surprise! Lol): when he actually tried to obtain a pardon from the cheeto-in-chief, this is a direct quote from Menendez: “President Trump is right,” Menendez said in a statement. “This process is political, and it’s corrupted to the core. I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores the integrity to the system.”
Rot in prison, shit-head🖕
Now do Trump.
Glad to see him go.
Now do Trump
Establishment democrats should never be trusted.
Neither should republicans, but I feel like most of you already know that.
Now let’s just take that next step, and we can stop being tools.
Have fun dumb dumb!
