Former Democrat Senator Bob Menendez, 71, sobbed in court as he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for bribery and corruption.
Prosecutors asked SDNY Judge Sidney Stein to sentence Menendez to 15 years in prison.
Bob Menendez’s lawyers initially asked for a 2-year sentence, however, after they changed it to 8 years after the judge sentenced the former lawmaker’s co-conspirators to 7 years and 8 years respectively.

#breaking: Bob Menendez now asking for EIGHT year sentence, up from the two years (or less) he asked for in writing – his lawyer Adam Fee says this is based on what happened this morning, 8 years on Daibes, 97 months on Hana. Inner City Press live tweeting below https://t.co/afqeWqUBAb

Menendez sobbed as he begged Judge Stein to have mercy on him.

Menendez: I was consumed by my service, I neglected my two children [sobs] Let me give you examples… bone marrow transplant, from a sister who was a native of El Salvador-
Judge Stein: You got her a visa
Menendez: She was denied twice. I intervened, yes

Judge Stein eviscerated Bob Menendez and called him a corrupt politician.

Judge Stein: Almost half a million dollars in your house, cash stuffed in shoes, gold bars… Hubris, you’ll have to figure it out yourself. General deterrence is important. The sentence I intend to impose is 11 years
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) January 29, 2025

The judge sentenced Menendez to 11 years!! This is pretty much a life sentence for 71-year-old Menendez.
The judge did not impose a fine on Menendez.
Menendez’s co-conspirators were sentenced to prison on Wednesday. Wael Hana was sentenced to 8 years and Fred Daibes was sentenced to 7 years.

Bob Menendez just arrived at Manhattan Federal Courthouse.

Fred Daibes sentenced to 7 years.

Menendez resigned on August 20 after then-Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other powerful Democrats pressured him to step down following his conviction.
New Jersey’s Democrat Governor Phil Murphy appointed his former Chief of Staff George Helmy to temporarily replace Menendez for the remainder of the term. In November Democrat Andy Kim won the senate election to serve with Cory Booker.
“While I fully intend to appeal the jury’s verdict, all the way and including to the Supreme Court, I do not want the Senate to be involved in a lengthy process that will detract from its important work,” Menendez wrote in his resignation letter to New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy.
“Furthermore, I cannot preserve my rights upon a successful appeal, because factual matters before the ethics committee are not privileged,” Menendez wrote.
“I am proud of the many accomplishments I’ve had on behalf of New Jersey, such as leading the federal effort for Superstorm Sandy recovery, preserving and funding Gateway and leading the federal efforts to help save our hospitals, State and municipalities, as well as New Jersey families through a once in a century COVID pandemic,” Menendez wrote.
Last summer a jury convicted Senator Bob Menendez on all bribery and corruption charges.
The jury returned the verdict following a 9-week trial. Menendez did not testify.In October 2023 Bob Menendez was charged with acting as a foreign agent in a superseding indictment.
The indictment filed by a federal grand jury in Manhattan claims Menendez “provided sensitive U.S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the Government of Egypt.”
Menendez was previously hit with a second superseding indictment for praising Qatar in exchange for luxury watches.
Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine Menendez were charged with obstruction of justice in an 18-count indictment.
Special agents discovered $500,000 of cash stuffed into envelopes in closets. “Some of the cash was stuffed in the Senator’s jacket pockets. Menendez’s wife Nadine Menendez was given a “no-show” or “low-show” job, a Mercedes Benz and other things of value, US Attorney Damian Williams said last year.
“This case has always been about shocking levels of corruption, hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, a Mercedes Benz. This wasn’t politics as usual, this was politics for profit. And now that a jury has convicted Bob Menendez, his years of selling his office to the highest bidder have finally come to an end,” US Attorney Damian Williams said outside the courthouse in Manhattan last year.

Nadine Menendez is set to be sentenced in March.

Night Vision Pulsar Thermion 2 XG50 losing zero

Has anybody had any trouble with this scope losing zero when exposed to single digit temps? I have had this happen twice now over the last month. The first time it happened i checked and retightened all the screws from the bases all the way to the ring caps. After doing this i tested in 20 degree temps with no issues. Last night however it got back down in the single digits and after hunting i found that the impact had shifted 8 inches lower and 4 inches to the right at 200yds. I checked the zero before going out that night and everything was fine. Upon finding out the poi had moved i shot the rifle both warm/cold and the poi remained the same. I then checked that all the mounting hardware was tight and found nothing out of the ordinary. Called Pulsar this morning and they recommended trying reverting everything back factory default settings and rezeroing before i resort to sending it in. Upon doing that and rezeroing, the poi has not shifted when i cycled the gun from cold to warm multiple times this morning. Im hoping this solved the problem somehow. Just looking for some opinions before i end up having to send the scope back in to Pulsar as its been hard to trust the scope for accuracy as of late when it gets cold.

SOLD WTS: Surefire X300 Ultra

For sale is a Surefire X300 Ultra with the quick release mount for a Glock. Was mounted on a G45 full build I completed but has yet to be fired, so the light has been mounted, inside a kydex holster, turned on and off a few times, but never has been mounted to a gun when it was fired. I like Surefire but I don’t care for its operation, I usually run Streamlight, and I’m swapping this build to the Streamlight TLR-1 HL-X 1500 lumen model. I don’t think I have original packaging. Looking for $200 shipped.

Dasher in an R700?

I had a 6 Dasher in a Remington 700 action for a while. It fed fine, but the empty would end up in the ejection port almost every time. I eventually gave up and went with a Bighorn. Now I want another Dasher in a 700 action, the very same action if truth be told. A local shooter said he'd seem my problem before and it was caused by one piece scope rails. The brass hits it on ejection and bounces back in the chamber. I actually saw this on my old Dasher, but didn't put it together. He thought two piece scope mounts had fixed it.

Anyone else gotten a Dasher to eject with a R700 action?

Tripod field shooting with magnums

Does anyone have any tips on shooting harder recoiling calibers from tripods? The rifle is a suppressed 300 norma that is about 18 Lbs with an arca rail and rrs anvil tripod. I usually shoot an old school .308/hog saddle setup with no issues but this has been a bit harder to manage. If you had to do a standing shot would you shorten the front leg to move the tripod center forward?

Action Call: IF you live in FL Please consider doing this to keep Fl. frm becomi g Sanct. State

IMPORTANT. please read from DeSantis picture down. You have to make 2 action calls to keep FL from becoming a sanctuary state! SHARE and get others to do this!

Accessories ICOM IC-R75 Communications Receiver

I know we have quite a few Hams and radio enthusiasts on the Hide so figured someone might be interested in this receiver. It's a like-new ICOM IC-R75 communications receiver. Has lived its entire life on my office desk and seen little use. Works perfectly with no issues. No scratches, dings or dents. From a non-smoking home. Typical excellent ICOM quality, made in Japan. Really pulls in those weak signals when hooked up to a good antenna. Comes with original a/c power supply, box and owner's manual. Selling because it doesn't get used much anymore.

$475 shipped. Payment via PayPal FF or USPS MO. PM me if you have any questions.
