Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Please. The only difference between this and Congress is that they insider trade, which is legal for them and the rest of the branch.
If only he had waited. Bribery is legal now, right?
Only when Papa gets his cut.
Magic Supreme Court Ball: Signs point to YES
Note all the Democrats in this thread screaming how it's unfair political persecution and a witch hunt...
But I don't see anyone complaining about... Ah, point taken.
Yeah but this fucker had been known to be corrupt for years and no one did shit about it.
Idk seems to be like the fbi during the Biden administration did something...
Menendez has been openly and obviously corrupt for almost my entire life this goes back way before Biden. Also, the FBI is supposed to be independent so while I guess as usual they did the bare minimum of not interfering I think they should have forced him out of office long before this.
Great! Now do the rest!
We've had Menendez, now can we have Gaetz?
I guess we did get a Santos, remember this fucker https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/08/19/george-santos-guilty/74857375007/
Sweet. Now Trump will pardon him if he thinks he still has some of the gold.
I am thinking that's why he freed Dread Pirate Roberts. There are billions in unclaimed BTC wallets going back to his arrest time.
He won't pardon a Democrat
-
He will if he can get a gold bar out of it.
-
If Menendez does him a favor or kisses his ass on TV.
-
Menendezs son, who is in Congress does him a favor.
Look what happened to Snoop Dogg after Trump pardoned his friend.
Maybe Eric Adams, but the statement arguably still applies.
He pardoned Rod Blagojevich
Can't believe this fuck tried to blame it all on his wife. If there is one way to guarantee yourself zero leniency...
I think he was blaming his wife to get off on the charges, then she would have done the same thing and blamed him… they were hoping to both get off using this tactic because you can’t be compelled to testify against your spouse. It obviously didn’t work.
Dude had wads of cash and gold bars all throughout his house lol.
From gold bars to iron bars...
He should have ran for president.
