Well, today is the day. Former Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) got sentenced to 11 years in prison for the outrageous corruption and bribery scandal that ended his career in public life.

In 2015, the Obama Justice Department tried to convict him regarding his relationship with a Florida-based ophthalmologist and donor, Salomon Melgen, who bestowed lavish gifts to Mr. Menendez in return for allegedly pushing his business interests.
