[@Krebbulous]

As a Democrat, please lock him up as well!

[@PreviouslyDelicious]

Could you imagine setting a precedent that government officials could be held accountable for their corruption? How absurd.

[@theskyehiker]

This guy needs to get outa dodge. As a democrat I think he needs to go.

[@MeaThreattoDemocracy]

I think you all need to go.

[@tabo01]

nice to see a senator comfortable with a gold standard.

[@BigJ57]

Lmao

[@Mr.HondaMoto]

Gold Bar Bob has gotta go. I think government officials should be held to higher moral standards, and the federal prosecutors has made the accusations, Bobble-Head Bob.

[@ManWithNoName292]

Poor baby. He sang a whole different tune when it came to Trump.

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

When you fear integrity and accountability, you are NOT the good guys!

[@zeke5491]

Bob: I’m a democrat, this is what we do

[@PKCP60]

So I like gold. Who doesn’t like gold? If my name were Goldberg, nobody would care.

[@frankgreco3569]

Who has 500000 in a safe deposit box oh and gold bars,,,guilty!!!

[@thisisshaun1]

As democrats say "no one is above the law" why should Bob get a pass

[@BigJ57]

Blah, blah, blah

[@aidenfisher5679]

C R O O K

[@richardblanke5521]

Chuck Schumer is reason he is still in the Senate.

[@MeaThreattoDemocracy]

Who is responsible for George Santos being gone from congress?

[@Soma81]

He should have been removed the moment this became public knowledge Santos did nothing wrong and yet the Democrats vilified him

[@clintonmatthews1507]

You just stay out of Florida where tired of seeing your family members holding your last name

[@mullenator-n7x]

Cringe 😬

[@Sinatra021]

As a former Democrat I see little difference between him and Nancy Pelosi's insider trading

[@Errordemn6]

This guy is innocent. He said he's innocent

[@machristos3730]

That man has to be President of USA. Good luck Bob

[@rockynix7731]

That's what u get when you work fot a foreign government ...

[@Chris-s1k6y]

This man is still working? His wife was involved too!!!¡!! He's probably a flight risk. Omg

[@johnf6687]

Bob do the right thing clean out your desk personal belongings and go home grab yourself a application at a local fast food place, give back those stolen gold bars

[@rolanddeleon3203]

In congress you don’t get due process to hold your position. The doubt of your fidelity is enough to deem removal. Although, the rules stipulate that congressional peers are required to act on removal if they doubt your continued fidelity.

[@peterrocha9474]

No shame. 😡

[@BlackTarH]

This dude is more guilty than Trump...

[@richardblanke5521]

Trump needs to locked up with Bubba

[@melwelker6077]

Equally. Old donny has just committed way more crimes but they're both equally guilty of the crimes they've each committed....

[@Soma81]

​@@richardblanke5521Robert Garcia and Richie Torres sure do not Trump

[@fartexplosion4480]

Imagine Trump and Menendez in the same cell

[@devendeven6256]

This trump with a brain

[@guybeingaguy]

I like this dude!👍

[@MeaThreattoDemocracy]

I hate to see a good man suffer a political prosecution. Senator Menendez, I am calling on you to spare your constituents, the American people and yourself the torture of character assination and huge legal bills. Just simply submit to a legitimate recognized professional polygraph examination to answer as to wether you engaged in criminal bribery. I believe polygraphs are prerequisites for employment in many positions in government and private industry. Man up and take one so that all this hoopla can end once and for all. I'll accept the result if you pass.
