Trump Calls On All Senate Democrats To Resign Over Bob Menendez Scandal | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Former President Donald Trump called on all Senate Democrats to resign following the federal indictment against Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) last week, claiming that they all knew about the alleged bribes he took.

    The indictment, unsealed on Friday, says that Menendez and his wife had a corrupt relationship with New Jersey businessmen Wael Hana, Jose Uribe, and Fred Daibes, who allegedly gave the senator bribes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. According to the DOJ, the bribes were intended to protect the businessmen and to benefit Egypt.

    Menendez faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted of the charges, which include conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right.

    "Senate Democrats should all resign based on Senator Bob Menendez!" Trump wrote on social media. "They all knew what was going on, and the way he lived."

    Trump then asked why the FBI did not raid Senate Democrats' homes, though agents did raid Menendez's home.

    During the raid, FBI agents recovered "cash, gold, [a] luxury vehicle, and home furnishings" that were part of the alleged bribery scheme, according to the indictment.

    Trump then said that what President Joe Biden had in "some of his many homes" was likely worse than what Menendez had in his home. Biden and his son Hunter have been accused of accepting millions of dollars in bribes from a Ukrainian energy executive in exchange taking action as then-vice president in the Obama administration.

    "I wonder how much they got paid for Rigging the Election? Menendez is one of many, a small timer at that," Trump said. "EVERY DEMOCRAT SHOULD RESIGN FROM THE SENATE! Our Border's are Broken, our Election's are Rigged."

    Menendez was previously indicted by the DOJ under the Obama administration in a case that alleged that he took bribes from Dr. Salomon Melgen, a wealthy Florida doctor, in exchange for political favors. Menendez was never convicted due to a hung jury - while a judge acquitted him of some charges - and the DOJ under Trump dropped the case.

    Melgen was sentenced to 17 years in prison for after being convicted on 67 counts of health care fraud that totaled $42 million.

    Trump later commuted Melgen's prison sentence after "Menendez urged him to grant clemency to his old friend," the New York Post reported.

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.

After nearly 8 months of the United States House of Representatives' Oversight Committee hearings, House Speaker Mike Johnson is pursuing an Impeachment Inquiry into the strong allegations of Bribery, Influence Peddling, Money laundering and possible Treason regarding the Biden Family Shell Corporations' business dealings with foreign nations that are adversarial to our survival: Is it prudent and wise for the Republican controlled U.S. House to investigate this Democratic Socialist President?

  No, Democratics should never be investigated because they are so superior to their Republican counterparts, and care so much more.

  Yes, in a Constitutional Republic, bound by the Rule of Law, no one is above the law, and that law must be applied evenly.

  Not sure ... Now, what got all this started?
