It's judgment day for Bob Menendez

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : An undercover FBI investigator who overheard Menendez's then-girlfriend Nadine say during a dinner with a high-ranking Egyptian official, "What else can the love of my life do for you?"Throughout the trial, Menendez took a different tact than his co-defendants, who didn't deny giving him or his wife gifts -- gifts being the key word, not bribes.
41% : Menendez was also found guilty in a scheme where he tried to interfere in state and federal justice systems to help men who were bribing him, including one who pleaded guilty and took the stand against him.
34% : That history begins with Sen. John Smith, who was found not guilty in the early 1800s of charges that he conspired with Aaron Burr to commit treason, and extends to the late Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, whose 2008 conviction for failing to report gifts was eventually thrown out because of government misconduct.
30% : Menendez may also be hoping for some kind of pardon from Trump, who previously commuted the sentence of a Florida doctor who was part of the first corruption case brought against Menendez nearly a decade ago.
