For those who would like to have their Friday evening dose of shock, here's the Menendez indictment in full. Includes frequent references to Menendez meeting with members of Egyptian intelligence, subverting the democratic process through corruption and a corrupt halal meat certification company:

What message will it send recipients of US aid if this brazen illegal effort to corrupt aid decisions is not responded to firmly? It’s inconceivable to not place a hold on 100% of Egypt’s conditioned military aid and show the consequences for such an assault on our democratic institutions.

According to the indictment, Sen. Menendez: —“secretly edited and ghost-wrote” a letter asking other senators to lift holds on military aid to Egypt, on Egypt’s behalf —sent the letter from his personal email account —deleted the email from his wife asking him to write it Via: rb.gy/pawmn

These are US politicians & decision/policy makers walking all over the suffering of Egyptians without batting an eyelash. Beyond disgusting

Must be a busy day at Brownstein Hyatt today. Between confirmed coverage that Senator Menendez took bribes to advance Egyptian govt interests and that Egyptian authorities injected spyware on a leading presidential candidate's phone, the weekend probably feels really really far.
