This just in: Senator Robert “Gold Bar Bob” Menendez convicted on all counts. (Previously.)
The NYT coverage is probably better, but it is also being constantly updated and is paywalled. I may possibly throw up a link to their story later today or tomorrow.
Edited to add 7/17: here’s the second day NYT story.
A Manhattan jury returned the verdict after deliberating for about 13 hours over three days in Federal District Court. Mr. Menendez was found guilty on all 16 counts he faced, including bribery, honest services wire fraud, extortion, obstruction of justice, conspiracy and acting as an agent for Egypt.
That seems relatively short.
He was charged with 16 different felonies, including bribery, extortion, obstructing justice and acting as an illegal foreign agent, with the top counts carrying a possible sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

Now do the Clintons and Biden family.
When the Clintons and the Bidens who actually hold office are indicted, that’s the second thing I will do.
The first thing I will do will be to go out in the yard and do the happy dance with an AR-pattern rifle and a full magazine.
