Sen. Menendez files motions to dismiss corruption indictment
Updated 2:18 pm, Monday, July 20, 2015

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Indicted New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez says in court filings that the government's corruption case against him is flawed and should be dismissed.

Menendez's attorneys filed motions Monday. They claim the government improperly presented evidence to a grand jury that should have been off-limits under laws governing legislative activities.

Another motion accuses the government of prosecutorial misconduct for allegedly intimidating witnesses and presenting false testimony to the grand jury.

Menendez was charged in April with conspiracy and multiple counts of bribery for allegedly accepting gifts and campaign donations from a Florida eye doctor in exchange for political favors.

Wasn't Perry's felony corruption dismissal motion also laughed out of court?

And the only reason Perry is running for anything is to pay the legal bills.

It's widely believed many congresscritters have their bribes wired directly into these accounts. If proven true, this would almost certainly include Señor Menéndez, since he's the only Senate Democrat known to be close to the TARP baby Singer.
