    DOJ to charge Menendez for corruption:

    The Justice Department is preparing to bring criminal corruption charges against New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, a Democrat, alleging he used his Senate office to push the business interests of a Democratic donor and friend in exchange for gifts.

    People briefed on the case say Attorney General Eric Holder has signed off on prosecutors' request to proceed with charges, CNN has learned exclusively. An announcement could come within weeks. Prosecutors are under pressure in part because of the statute of limitation on some of the allegations.

    "to push the business interests of a ... donor ... in exchange for gifts."

    That's a "crime" for Congress or any politician?

    that's the fundamental operating mode of politics.

    somebody, probably in FatBoy's gang, went after him. FatBoy's a former US Attorney, knows that prosecutorial discretion is most often political.

    TB Wrong again. I'm not defending, spinning Menendez.

    I'm saying ALL of them are corrupt, quid pro quo, pay-to-play criminals, selling their Congressional bills, amendments, votes to the highest bidders, who are not common voters.

    FatBoy guv is a Repug, I bet NJ Repugs went after Menendez like the Repugs took down Spitzer for taking down Hank Greenberg.

    btw, corrupt FatBoy gave Exxon $8B by settling for a $250M, which FatBoy put into the NJ general fund, NOT using it to clean up Exxons extremely toxic site.

    Dems are suing about that Exxon giveaway.
