They wouldn't have waited until the indictments ever became convictions.
Aren't you just precious?

Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, wife charged with bribery

I guess Whell expects me to scream about this being a witch hunt. I could not care less if he is convicted. He has been pretty sleazy for a while.

Menendez should switch parties. The GOP would let him have at least three more indictments.

Clarence Thomas Keeps Getting Caught With Mega Donors? Let’s Hit Him In His Pockets
https://abovethelaw.com/2023/09/clar...pockets/?amp=1

Menendez’s corruption is minor compared to uncle Thomas’, you’d surely agree, right Whell? Of course you’ve never said anything about his corruption. Why not?

Remember when Lord Bing-Bing Bong-Bong was defending Bob 'Gold Brick' Menendez?

Democrats are not going to have rallies, protests and GoFundMe legal defense fund pages for Bob Menendez nor squeal about witch hunts or two tiers of justice. They also are not going to sell Free Bob hats and shirts, make rap videos for him try and defund the prosecutor.

So much for the equivalency that Whell attempted here.

Why it took this long, we will find out soon enough. During an ongoing investigation, very few details usually leak.

OTOH, we have Trumpers trumpeting on their T-shirts claiming Trump did nothing wrong. How does that come about.
No, thats not the point. The point is that everyone knew Menendez was dirty. Yet, he was allowed to retain the chair on a powerful Senate committee. I guess from that perspective, the biggest mistake he made was allowing himself to get caught.

Everyone knows Uncle Thomas is far dirtier, yet the Reich has circled the wagons to protect him, and he refuses to recuse on cases where he’s clearly been compromised. Yet not a word from you about any of his many sins. Doesn’t that make you, as always, a flaming hypocrite?

Go ahead and deny it. Tell us about all the Repugnants who you have ratted out for their criminal behavior. Here's a short list...

Bannon
Stone
Weisselberg
Navarro
Cohen
Flynn
Manafort
Gates
Broidy and...
6,000 insurrectionists

Which of these have you felt the need to alert us to, eh Mikey? Not a fucking one of them.

And what about these Congress Criminals who have been indicted and/or convicted?

Santos
Fortenberry
Collins
Hunter
Grimm
Stevens
Renzi

None of them either Mikey? Maybe you forgot.
