Hell could be heard freezing when, in a first, corrupt Democrat Senator Bob Menendez didn't escape the consequences of his own actions.
A jury found Senator Bob Menendez guilty on all counts in his federal corruption trial yesterday, which led to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to call for his resignation.
According to Fox News:
Jurors deliberated for three days. The conviction on all 16 counts against him exposes Menendez to a sentence of more than 200 years in prison, though such a heavy sentence is unlikely.
The judge scheduled the senator's sentencing date for Oct. 29.
Menendez condemned the decision in a statement outside the courtroom, so far refusing to resign despite overwhelming calls to do so. His attorneys say they plan to appeal the verdict.
"I am deeply disappointed in the decision," Menendez said, claiming that he "never violated a public oath," and that he had "never been a foreign agent."
Facing primary challengers, Menendez announced back in March that he wouldn’t be running in the Democrat primary - but left open the possibility of running as an independent if he were exonerated at trial.
