Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey and his wife charged with bribery
U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey and his wife were indicted in New York on federal bribery charges related to their allegedly “corrupt relationship” with three businessmen from their home state to protect those men and benefit the nation of Egypt.
“Those bribes included cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low-or-no-show job, a luxury vehicle, and other things of value,” the Manhattan federal court indictment says.
Sen. Menendez, a Democrat, is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
He was previously indicted in another federal bribery case but that case was dropped after a trial that ended in a hung jury.
但是,但是,正如 NY Post 所言,这位新州的西裔民主党籍美国参议员把贪腐的级别上升到无以伦比的高度,或者说,set a new low in US history。美国历史上还没有哪一位在职政客,利用手中权利,以美国国家名义向外国政府施压,让外国政府改变政策,以便于让他的那位 buddy buddy 医生朋友获得亿万赃款。同样也是这位现任参议员,利用手中权力,向美国卫生局施压,允许他的这位医生朋友非法 overbilling,赚取不义之财。如果 Menendez 被定罪,将会是美国首位在职被定罪的参议员,what a prize,what a shame!
醉醉可笑的是,Menendez 的辩护律师在人脏俱获无可抵赖时,居然扛出种族的政治正确的大旗!恬不知耻地声称上面的铁证都不是犯罪,而是西裔的 culture,是西裔的特有的“待人接物”的方式 !#%?&�!!!(哈哈,中国的贪官们请 take note,可以活学活用一下美国经验)所以说,对 Menendez 的指控,就是对整个西裔族群的恶意攻击与诽谤,是种族歧视...哈哈哈哈,借咱北京的童谣,这正是:
