New Jersey and the Senate may not have seen the last of Sen. Bob Menendez.
Menendez maintains his innocence and a firm belief that he will be found innocent in court.
"I am hopeful my exoneration will take place this summer and allow me to pursue my candidacy as an independent Democrat in the general election." For Menendez to file as an independent he needs 800 registered voters to sign his petition before the June 4 filing date.
How many signatures he's garnered so far is unknown but the clock continues to tick.
While attempting to get his petition signed he's also dealing with his trial which is currently on a one-week break.
The break began on Tuesday, allowing Menendez time to deal with personal matters and observe the Memorial Day weekend, but it will resume once again on May 28 and is expected to last at least through the end of June.
Past the politics proper of the situation, voters should ask how Menendez ended up where he is - accused of serious crimes stemming from serious greed - how likely it is that other politicians are doing similar things, and whether any of them are likely to pay a significant price.
