All I know is what I see on TV. But the charges against Menendez sound like constituent service to me. You take care of your constituents, your voters, your donors, your friends. People only donate money to your campaign 'cause they want something from you. There is little difference between campaign contributions and bribes.
Anyhow, the Obama administration has decided to prosecute a democratic senator on shaky grounds. Maybe they want to silence a critic. Maybe some DOJ people have a grudge. Who knows? But life in the United States is becoming dangerous when even US Senators can be attacked by their government.
