Is he a Democrat?
On its face, I say "so?"Senator Bob Menendez of NJ charged with accepting bribes, a search of his house turns up gold bars and 500K in cash.
Wonder if he will do any time?
It seems to be the case even for the common man with forfeiture laws…On its face, I say "so?"
I had no idea maintaining physical financial assets means you are guilty, or that those assets are automatically nefarious.
[rhetorical]
How many here have significant stockpiles of fiancial assets stashed for the unthinkable? Are you guilty of illegal acts or corruption simply because you have some cash and precious metals too? /rhetorical
This is simply an attempt to use greed/jealousy to paint him as evil to the common man.
For my assumption, how much is too much if you are holding physical assets?
Well, I haven't seen the details. Leadeye said he was charged with accepting bribes. He didn't say he was charged because they found the gold bars and cash.On its face, I say "so?"

more relevant would be how politicians making $200,000 /yr - would have $10,000,000 after 4 years in office
Right. Its all about optics. Like mentioning offhand some ancient unrelated criminal charge in his past.Well, I haven't seen the details. Leadeye said he was charged with accepting bribes. He didn't say he was charged because they found the gold bars and cash.
just like guns, never too much or too manyFor my assumption, how much is too much if you are holding physical assets?
Well, there's this from the article above...Right. Its all about optics. Like mentioning offhand some ancient unrelated criminal charge in his past.
But what upstanding person keeps that much on hand? (He must have gotten that illegally. No honest person keeps that much on hand.)
or
Who needs that much ammo? (he must be a future mass shooter or violent crackpot)
Did his "Luxury Vehicle " happen to be a Corvette ? Wonder if the envelopes of cash and gold bars were in a box next to his car in the garage ..........( Oh wait ..............wrong criminal )The federal investigators who searched Menendez’s home also found a “luxury vehicle paid for by [Jose] Uribe parked in the garage,” as well as home furnishings from other business contacts and gold bars."
The hag is THAT good.One analysis performed by Auburn University and published in the Journal of Economics and Finance claimed to find that the odds of a return as large as Clinton obtained during the period in question were about one in 31 trillion.
Robert Menendez (born January 1, 1954) is an American lawyer and politician serving as the senior United States senator from New Jersey, a seat he has held since 2006. A member of the Democratic Party, he was first appointed to the U.S. Senate by Governor Jon Corzine, and chaired the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations from 2013 to 2015, and again since 2021.more relevant would be how politicians making $200,000 /yr - would have $10,000,000 after 4 years in office
In 2015, Menendez was indicted on federal corruption charges; the jury was unable to reach a verdict, and the charges were dropped in 2018. In April 2018, the United States Senate Select Committee on Ethics "severely admonished" Menendez for accepting gifts from donor Salomon Melgen without obtaining committee approval, for failing to disclose certain gifts, and for using his position as a senator to advance Melgen's interests.Wasn't he already on trial for something and beat that?
I guess you have never been hounded by the BLUE forces in your local community or state. It is very common to loose cash/cars/homes/collectibles ect by our brothers in BLUE using the following.On its face, I say "so?"
