I am not sure it really is. Bribery is paying someone to do something wrong, is would not have been explicitly wrong for a porn star to not tell the world about Trumps little willy.So hush money isn't bribery? Hmmh.

The usual thing, rebellion is only illegal if it fails.In other news, Trump would have been convicted of election interference had he not been elected president again.

Yeah, it's a shame the political and monied classes protect their own, it would've been much better if Trump had actually been convicted. No?They had nearly four years to do that and failed.
Mmmm, yes. Crimes can be committed by ommission, but Stormy Daniels was under no obligation to tell anyone about her customer.I am not sure it really is.

I can just imagine him locking himself in his cell and just insulting everyone on Twitter and throwing everyone under the bus in one of his manic rages.Yeah, it's a shame the political and monied classes protect their own, it would've been much better if Trump had actually been convicted. No?
To have that, the US would have had to have a) a Republican Party where everyone was trying to move away from MAGA instead of trying to become the next Trump and b) a Democratic Party that wasn't trying to stay alee of the Republicans instead of finding its own position.It would have been better if the senate had barred Donald Trump from running for public office again when he was last impeached.
Who knows. In that alternate world timeline the US electorate might even have had a choice of two good candidates.
Senator Bob Menendez has been found guilty on all counts.
“You were successful, powerful, you stood at the apex of our political system,” the judge said. ”Somewhere along the way, and I don’t know when it was, you lost your way and working for the public good became working for your good.”
Menendez’s actions, the judge said, feed the cynicism of voters.
“What’s been the result?” he said, noting a lengthy investigation of a five-year crime. “You lost your senate seat. You lost your chairmanship and you lost your good name.”
Senator Bob Menendez just got 11 years in prison

Good luck Gold Bar Bob, you jerk.
I disagree. Trump pardoning Adams would be at least as funny if not funnier than him pardoning Menendez.Man Trump pardoning him would be even funnier than Trump pardoning Eric Adams
Trump hired a new legal team from the firm Sullivan & Cromwell LLP to handle the appeal, spearheaded by the firm’s co-chair Robert J. Giuffra Jr.
Giuffra and four other lawyers from his firm stepped in after the president tabbed his two main defense lawyers, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, for top positions in his administration’s Justice Department.
Man Trump pardoning him would be even funnier than Trump pardoning Eric Adams
I'd've thought the recent decriminalisation of bribery by SCOTUS would extend to cases such as this.Senator Bob Menendez just got 11 years in prison![]()
Of course, this is why people like Mendenez will try to transition into being Republicans, to get around the law. We should of course, refuse to acknowledge this transition, because there are only two political parties, and whichever one you are is innate and something you are forever.
I disagree. Trump pardoning Adams would be at least as funny if not funnier than him pardoning Menendez.

Justice Dept. Is Said to Discuss Dropping Case Against Eric Adams
Senior officials under President Trump have talked with prosecutors in Manhattan about the possibility of abandoning the corruption case against New York City’s mayor.
Mr. Adams was indicted in September on charges including bribery, fraud and soliciting illegal foreign campaign contributions after an investigation that began in 2021. He has pleaded not guilty, maintained his innocence and contended that he is being prosecuted because he criticized the Biden administration’s immigration policies as New York has received a historic influx of migrants
In recent weeks, Mr. Adams, a Democrat, has curried favor with Mr. Trump. He met with the president-elect near Mar-a-Lago, attended the inauguration and has said that, from now on, he will share any criticisms of the president in private.
