Senate Majority Leader Schumer immediately called for his resignation... the Parties not being the same and all.

Not as many "GUILTY" verdicts as Trump, but substantial.
What a crook.
Wait - is he still a crook given SCOTUS "gratuity" ruling?

Any crook, no matter what party, needs to GO. This is progress.

This is true, Yav.

If only he had been smart enough to be in that other branch of Gov, he could still sit in judgement on gratuity cases. ;)

Too bad he was a repub, the other felon could've tapped him for the VP slot.

Senate Majority Leader Schumer immediately called for his resignation.

Instead of making him the presidential nominee.

Apparently for as long as Sen Menendez has been in the Democratic party, he has been self serving, corrupt and scheming to enrich himself and do harm to constituents and USA.

Why wasnt he pressured to resign years ago instead allowed to continue unimpeded?

Because "years ago" prosecutors failed in their attempt to convict him thereby providing zero leverage for winkleing him out of office? And this time prosecutors presented a case the jury accepted?

And from the MAGAts, when it comes to their 34-times found guilty felonious convict candidate?

Donatello: The perimeter's quiet.
Leonardo: Yeah, a little too quiet.

Why wasnt he just for starters pressured to resign years ago instead allowed to continue unimpeded?

@#1 ... Senate Majority Leader Schumer immediately called for his resignation... the Parties not being the same and all. ...

The odd thing about this case is the relative silence of the GOP.

A Democratic Senator convicted of some pretty serious offenses.

Yet a lot of crickets from the GOP.

Maybe the lack of comments is due to this case blowing their "Biden weaponizing the DoJ" baseless conspiracy theory clear out of the water.

Hey, Robson, why hasn't Matt Venmo Gaetz been pushed out of GOP?
