 New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez emerged from federal court undeterred after he was found guilty on all counts in a federal corruption scheme. I have never violated my public oath. I have never been anything but a patriot of my country. The three-term Democratic senator was convicted on 16 charges including wire fraud, bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice, and acting as a foreign agent. They carry potential penalties of more than 200 years behind bars.
