Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey, who survived a previous corruption indictment, was convicted in a federal bribery case involving businessmen and foreign governments. The verdict spurred swift calls for his resignation.

    He needs to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. I want to see the “rules for thee” moment when the court says his bribes were bad ones.

    Convicted on 16 charges, seems kind of minor. Trump got convicted on 34 and went up in the polls. 16 is no big deal, amirite?
