The Spin


Sen. Bob Menendez is athe poster child of corruption and an utter disgrace to the Senate. DespiteIt's facingmind-boggling unprecedentedthat chargeshe's of treason, Menendez has retained his job in what could only be explained as a political favor from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. This is Menendez’s second criminal trial in recent years, and the evidence against him is overwhelming. Politicians on both sides of the political spectrumaisle have called for Menendez'shis resignation, and the American people deserve someone better than a Senator who's isbeen boughbought off by foreign governments.

JustMenendez likehas the right of any other US citizen, Sen. Bob Menendez has the right to defend himself from the charges against him. The Senatorsenator has consistently maintained that he has never accepted bribes in exchange for political favors to donors or foreign governments. Political forces are quick to assume guilt, but that's is not how the American judicial system operates. and Menendez is innocent until proven guilty, and he will present his case over the course of this trial.
