Will Trump save Menendez?

30 January 2025 [12:16] - TODAY.AZ

Bob Menendez, a former senator, fraudster and henchman of the Armenians, who was recently sentenced to 11 years in prison, hopes for Donald Trump. Inspired by the fact that the new president will broadly annul all decisions made under the previous administration, Menendez hopes that he will be able to suck up to Trump and his team, showing that the Southern District of New York that sentenced him has turned into a "Wild West of political persecution" under Biden.

 

"I am innocent and I look forward to my appeal on a number of issues," the rogue senator wrote. In his tearful message, he writes that "this whole process was nothing more than a political witch hunt by the National Security Department of the Ministry of Justice and prosecutors, who are more interested in political scalps and are preparing to run for political office." According to Menendez, "illegal evidence" was used during the trial, and witness testimony was obtained in exchange for evading criminal prosecution.

 

Hoping that after Biden's refusal to pardon him, Trump would do so, Menendez addressed President Trump directly at the end of his speech. "President Trump is right. This process is political in nature and corrupt to the core. I hope President Trump clears this cesspool and restores the integrity of the system," writes sycophant Bob Menendez, hoping that his tearful message will reach the new president.

 

The American media noted that Trump has the authority to pardon him, but so far has not given any indication that he is going to do so. Moreover, Danielle Sassoon, the new acting head of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, said that the sentences of Menendez and his two co-defendants "are a clear signal that attempts at any level of government to corrupt the country's foreign policy and the rule of law will be met with just punishment."

 

According to The New York Times, when Menendez was indicted 16 months ago, he served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, one of the most influential posts in Washington. This position gave him great influence on foreign military aid and international politics. And during the nine-week trial that ended last summer, federal prosecutors highlighted the numerous ways in which Mr. Menendez used that power.

 

What Menendez hopes for in such a situation is not very clear. He probably expects to play on sycophancy.

 

And the funny thing is that this fraudster himself voted twice to convict Trump during the impeachments in 2019 and 2021, although the accusations had no real basis. And now I've suddenly seen the light...
