from WND:
‘This case has always been about shocking levels of corruption’
U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein has handed a sobbing former Sen. Bob Menendez, a Democrat, 11 years in prison for convictions of bribery and corruption.
Prosecutors had asked for a 15-year term for the 71-year-old, and his lawyers initially asked for a two-year sentence, revising their request to eight years after the judge sentenced co-conspirators to terms of that length.

Menendez’ lawyer Fee: He does not deserve to die in jail, or to have decades of service derided as common place. We ask for compassion.
Judge Stein: Mr. Menendez, you can address the Court.
Menendez: You have before you a chastened man— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) January 29, 2025
