Despite the lack of coverage, the trial of New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez is actually proceeding in federal court. The evidence thus far has been extremely damning. It looks to me as if the charges against Menendez are true and he will be convicted. Of course, I say that without hearing the full defense (and the rest of the prosecution case.) One thing is certain, even if Menendez were to be acquitted, he is certainly no angel. I even wonder if Menendez is as honest as Hillary Clinton.
So if Menendez gets convicted, will he resign? Will the Democrats call upon him to resign? Will there be a move to keep him in office until his replacement would be a Democrat? In other words, will politics triumph over morality?
My guess is that there will clearly be no pressure from the media to get Menendez out of office. Democrats only care about corruption is the target is a Republican.
