New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez to resign from Senate after bribery convictions | PBS News
Menendez signaled his resignation last month in a letter to Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy.
New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez is slated to resign by the end of the day Tuesday, about a month after a jury convicted him on federal bribery charges.
You're viewing a single thread.
He specifically chose that his resignation would take effect today, because they a paycheck today. Gotta milk it for every last little bit of cash they can grab!
I was reading that his entire staff lost their jobs so I think it was more for them then him. To give them time to find new jobs.
There are a lot of things worth criticizing him for but I don't think this is one of them. You and I would likely act the same if we had the choice of timing our resignation.
Dawg I think you lost the plot here. Dude's resigning because he was caught in corruption. You can criticize him for further exploiting his power to enrich himself.
I mean that's fair enough. I'm sure he doesn't need the money as badly as your average Joe
Considering these are bribery charges and "investigators found $480,000 in cash and more than $100,000 worth of gold bars" just at his home, I think he has plenty of money.
