I had it backwards, it was alleged, then the charges weren’t brought forward, but prosecutors said it wasn’t due to “a lack of evidence” as menendez’s legal team claimed
Charming of Jack Smith to leak it.
Like what they did with Matt Gaetz. Destroy someone's reputation through inflammatory leaks to compliant media, and then after two years (in the case of Gaetz), not change him because there's not enough evidence even for an indictment.
To be fair it was a much different situation.
Menendez they had the evidence, it just...vanished.
Gaetz they never actually had any evidence.
If they had the evidence, they should have presented it in court, not first leak to the media that they have it and then "OOPS, I guess the dog ate it!"
I don't care if they're doing it to one of my favorite Congressmen (Gaetz), or my least favorite, or Hunter Biden, abuse of the "justice" system is an abomination.
They had evidence, but what can they do when it is suddenly removed?
It isn't about liking or disliking anyone, he has been protected for years by the higher ups.
Why the protection ran out now I can't say, but he's well known in NJ for committing a wide variety of crimes.
