When an aide to Senator Robert Menendez requested that then VP-Biden host the U.S.-Spain Council’s 2010 annual meeting at his official Naval Observatory residence in Washington DC, he contacted Hunter Biden’s business partner rather than Joe’s White House office.

Yes. But isn’t that how weasels act?
So far I think Menendez is 4 for 4 in getting charges dismissed or being found not guilty. He’s not the type to take a plea. And, it would not surprise me if the prosecutor that is bringing these charges takes one on the chin (not relative to losing the case), but for opening up a potential can of worms on the Biden Criminal Organization.
You could make the argument that this is a purposeful effort to get Biden to voluntarily drop out of his re-election ambitions. But, there are a couple things that negate that. First, Joe’s not a deep enough thinker to understand the ramifications of this going forward. To threaten someone they have to understand the basis of the threat. Joe’s not up to the task. Secondly, I don’t think the DOJ is competent enough to be that Machiavellian.
I think the connection between Menendez and Biden’s bagmen was something they might have overlooked when throwing together this show trial to try and neutralize the “two-tier justice system” talk.
I hope the slime ball Menendez sings like a bird. That would be FUN
Does Joe Biden store his gold / silver bars in the garage beside his plastic bodied Corvette?
Probably in the Craftsman Roll-Away in the garage along with his collection of classified documents.
