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,這位新州的西裔民主黨籍美國參議員把貪腐的級別上升到無以倫比的高度,或者說,set a new low in US history。美國歷史上還沒有哪一位在職政客,利用手中權利,以美國國家名義向外國政府施壓,讓外國政府改變政策,以便於讓他的那位 buddy buddy 醫生朋友獲得億萬贓款。同樣也是這位現任參議員,利用手中權力,向美國衛生局施壓,允許他的這位醫生朋友非法 overbilling,賺取不義之財。如果 Menendez 被定罪,將會是美國首位在職被定罪的參議員,what a prize,what a shame!
醉醉可笑的是,Menendez 的辯護律師在人髒俱獲無可抵賴時,居然扛出種族的政治正確的大旗!恬不知恥地聲稱上面的鐵證都不是犯罪,而是西裔的 culture,是西裔的特有的“待人接物”的方式 !#%?&!!!(哈哈,中國的貪官們請 take note,可以活學活用一下美國經驗)所以說,對 Menendez 的指控,就是對整個西裔族群的惡意攻擊與誹謗,是種族歧視...哈哈哈哈,借咱北京的童謠,這正是:
