Senator Bob Menendez Indicted for Acting as a Foreign Agent
DOJ? Merrick Garland? Can you think of any other connected Democrats who have been hoovering up money from the Romanian government, Chinese communist party officials, and Russia gangsters acting as Putin's agents since 2014? And then failing to register as foreign agents under FARA (the Foreign Agent Registration Act)? And also committing tax fraud to avoid declaring all the millions they received from foreign governments, which monies, if declared, would trigger a FARA investigation? No? Not a one?Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., was hit with new charges Thursday accusing him of accepting bribes from a foreign government and acting as a foreign agent, according to a superseding indictment. The new indictment, filed by a federal grand jury in Manhattan, alleged that he "provided sensitive U.S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the Government of Egypt."Did Menendez hold back $1 billion in aid for Egypt to pressure them into firing a prosecutor investigating an Egyptian energy company that was paying his whoremonger crackhead son $1 million per year? No? He didn't do that? Well if he had done it there would be nothing to charge him with, because that's no a crime, according to the DOJ.
Menendez faces up to two years in prison for failing as a public official to register as an agent of a foreign power, according to a law cited in the superseding indictment.Merrick Garland? Christopher Wray? Noted "Trump appointee" David Weiss?* Anyone? You all need to go to prison and I don't care what laws we have to twist to put you there. By the way, Hunter Biden liquidated $20,000 of his daughter's college fund to pay for crack and whores. The Daily Mail (and definitely not a US media company):
Menendez and his wife, Nadine, last month pleaded not guilty to corruption charges alleging that they used his influence to pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes. Three other defendants -- New Jersey businessmen Jose Uribe, Fred Daibes and Wael Hana -- also pleaded not guilty to the corruption charges last month. In the indictment Thursday, federal prosecutors alleged that Menendez's wife and Hana "worked to introduce Egyptian intelligence and military officials to Menendez for the purpose of establishing and solidifying a corrupt agreement." In this agreement, Hana, with assistance from Daibes and Uribe, "provided hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes to Menendez and Nadine Menendez, in exchange for Menendez's acts and breaches of duty to benefit the Government of Egypt, Hana, and others, including with respect to foreign military sales and foreign military financing," prosecutors said.
In late 2018 Hunter was in his 'penultimate odyssey through full blown addiction', according to his memoir, skulking in Connecticut motels and frittering away thousands on prostitutes and crack cocaine.* I'm not taking a shot at Trump, I'm lampooning the media calling this liberal handpicked by Delaware's liberal senators a "Trump appointee." He was previously an Obama appointee. And now he's a Biden appointee. The media doesn't seem to want to call him that, though.
His private bankers at Wells Fargo sent him an email on December 17, 2018 warning that he had just 44 cents left in his account, according to records obtained by DailyMail.com from his abandoned laptop. Hunter responded with a jumbled reply, ordering them to transfer $20,000 from his daughter Maisy's educational savings account. He told the wealth managers: 'liquidate what you can' and 'Live [love] you both'.

I strongly suspect that this is why Menendez is getting the business.
He's safe to take out. NJ will appoint someone at least as shitty and radical to replace him. He is not a major power player so much as a well-established middle player and that kind of player can be replaced.
And so they will take him out and the DoJ can say, "SEE! WE'RE EVEN-HANDED! ONE STANDARD OF JUSTICE! We wouldn't have prosecuted Menendez if there was some kind of double standard like you MAGAts always bleat about! Joe Biden isn't being investigated because he did nothing wrong and - as we have demonstrated - we're totally apolitical!"

I don't think a sitting US Senator would be eligible to be representing a foreign agent as a lobbyist under FARA.
Kind of like how they used to "catch" mobsters and drug dealers who they couldnt find actual evidence against, and federalizing the crime, by saying "you need a federal marijuana tax stamp to sell marijuana" even though marijuana was illegal and the government did not issue any tax stamps.
Or Al Capone not being able to prove how he could legally afford his lifestyle, so they said he vaguely violated the tax code and got him on that.
Find the man, and I'll find the crime, after all!
... how did we get here?
Oh, right, I don't think a sitting US representative can also be a registered lobbyist for a foreigner.

This alone reeks of politics. It's rare for any bank's "Private Bank" division to accept any client with under half a million dollars - and a level that low is unusual. Wells' thresholds aren't published (as far as I can see quickly), but it's much more normal for the amounts required to be $5 million or more.
So either Hunter had elite "private banking" but no money - in which case it was a sleazy political gimmie because of his dad - or he had elite "private banking" with millions of dollars under management - in which case it's obvious corruption.

They also reported: "He left no note explaining the reasoning behind his decision to end his life nor did he display any outward signs of distress in the days and weeks leading up to the tragedy, according to The Wall Street Journal — leaving the family and co-workers scrambling for answers."

Ad firm tied to Bud Light's Dylan Mulvaney fiasco fires top execs in shakeup
San Mateo-based Captiv8 -- which canned 13 staffers in July after top brass returned from a lavish junket to the French Riviera, as The Post reported -- axed 30 employees, roughly 20% of its workforce, in the latest round of layoffs, multiple sources told The Post.
It's not clear whether Captiv8's shakeup, which happened Sept. 28, was a direct result of the Mulvaney fiasco, which led to Bud Light losing its two-decade status as the nation's top-selling beer.
"I'm guessing that Dylan Mulvaney contributed," one laid-off executive told The Post. "They weren't laying people off before [April 1] ."

I'd guess it this way:
Only 10% or so are actually any good at graft. They're the ones who actually get rich by insider trading and such. The rest are really bad at it and end up relying on the party apparatuses to fund their lower-end government lifestyles by providing money for re-elections and such.
They'll happily take $10,000 for a meeting from anyone, but they're so unimportant to the big players trying to move policy that it's easier to pay the top dogs and then let the top dogs run the back benchers in Congress.
So, they end up indirectly being foreign lackeys. They're more just party lackeys directly.

Well, we know for sure one was labelled a "college fund" for his daughter. So I imagine he probably had lots of "college funds" in the Biden crime syndicate.
I highly doubt politicians at Bidens level actually pay for their kids / grandkids to go to college.
They either go gratis, or they "win scholarships" from donors.
It's an indirect form of money laundering / bribery that I can't imagine congresscritters aren't taking advantage of.

Not quite sarcasm, no. But not entirely serious, either.
It's just weird to me to see people falling for this blatant level of propaganda. Especially in a post- Iraq / Trump / Ukraine war world, where it was laid bare for all of us how corrupt and propaganda-driven our media is.
In other words, in what other context would we think it's okay for a hospital to not treat patients? The US Military has always (as far as I know) done our best to treat enemy soldiers in any war we have fought. Threw them in POW camps afterwards, but always took pride in the way we treated enemy soldiers and enemy civilians.

If it is proven that they did such things, they're either enemy soldiers, or just horrible serial killers.
In neither scenario does the US think it's okay to deny people life saving medical treatment, or summarily execute them.
We either put them in POW camps, or (if theyre not soldiers and their actions happened on US soil), they go through our civilian criminal justice system.
Either way, they do get medical treatment if required.

What would happen if the US said in the invasion of Ukraine or we will end you? Maybe the Russians would quit for good or it could get a lot worse but at this point this is just going to go on and on. Actually to me, it looks like the Russians will win in the end, what new is going to happen?

Okay, but then lets call it what it is : Israelis murdering wounded foreign citizens.
Which, again, not my problem.
But morally I fail to see a difference between what the Israelis are doing (shutting off water, electricity, food, refusing medical care to everyone in Palestine which will 100% ensure dead civilians) and what the Arabs are doing (killing civilians).
You might argue the Palestinians, if the stories are true, are being more brutal, but that's just a matter of "how bad."
Anyways, I have to get going.

I believe we've had these discussions around these parts before. From what I recall, that very same Geneva Convention explicitly says enemy combatants who are not properly identified by uniform are considered to be war criminals, and explicitly says summary execution is an option.

Sieges have not typically been regarded as intentional targeting of civilians.
Collateral damage has typically not been regarded as murder.
Posted by: Red Turban Someguy - The Republic is already dead! at October 12, 2023 05:34 PM (eYoxG)
In neither scenario does the US think it's okay to deny people life saving medical treatment, or summarily execute them.
We either put them in POW camps, or (if theyre not soldiers and their actions happened on US soil), they go through our civilian criminal justice system.
Either way, they do get medical treatment if required.

The fact that FARA is now on the table confirms that Andrew Weissmann is pushing this prosecution...He's not dumb enough to push it without a goal in mind. And, the only goal it suggests is to serve notice to Biden that he could be next. Weissmann is firmly in the Clinton camp...such that he even attended her election party.

You would be correct. The term is unlawful combatants and the Geneva Conventions were designed to take civilians out of the equation during war but at the cost that those civilians stay on the sidelines. Notably though, I don't believe Japan, North Korea, nor N. Vietnam ever got around to signing the Geneva Conventions when we fought them. Germany was a signatory as was Italy.

You can argue all day long about moral equivalence, and that's fine to do from thousands of miles away.
But using the word "murder" to describe what may or may not be happening to enemy combatants on the battlefield (which is essentially all of Israel and Gaza right now) is an egregious misuse of the term.

The Marines had seen how captured Americans were treated, and knowing how fanatic the Japs were, generally did not bother trying to take prisoners. Movies that depicted wounded Japanese soldiers playing possum and then gunning down Marines from behind were bullshit, according to my father, who said that the Marines routinely emptied a magazine into any such they found.

There were attempts to claim that Britain's blockade of Europe in WWI unjustly punished German and Austrian civilians. Then the Germans used Zeppelins and bombers to raid Britain in WWI and were the first to use poison gas.
Siege war rules came about during the middle ages more or less--if soldiers in a town resist and fight back using that city as a base, then they are all collectively a target. Only if the armed folks surrender were the civilians safe. Cromwell blackened his name forever in Ireland and elsewhere by losing control of his troops after a town (Wexford) surrendered and Cromwell's army ran amuck afterwards. The second town (Drongheda) situation in Ireland was a bit more murky but had civilians in the town surrendering while Royalist troops in a citadel did not.

||Three suspected Hamas supporters arrested after alleged threats to Toronto Jewish school; police deployed inside classroom
'This is a deeply disturbing event that naturally serves to stoke fear and anxiety. However our security team responded per our protocols and police response was swift. One of our security staff maintained visual contact with the suspects until police arrived,' read a statement from the school.
According to an email from the Tannenbaum Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto (TannenbaumCHAT) administration to staff and parents, three men approached students on Dufferin Street, and one individual made threats directed at the school and students.||
