In a 52-page sentencing memo submitted to a federal judge, former Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has asked a judge for leniency at sentencing. Menendez’s filing specifically asks that “the Court should impose a sentence that relies heavily on alternatives to incarceration

(MORE)
In perhaps the most striking passage in this submission, Menendez’s attorneys argue: “Senator Menendez is not the typical defendant. His public office and the accompanying attention it draws distinguish him. And of course the charges of conviction in this case arise from his position, and the actions he took as a United States Senator, a position he resigned in worldwide disgrace after his conviction.”
Attorneys for Menendez, who was convicted at trial of federal corruption charges, also argue, “Senator Menendez—Bob as he is known by his family, friends, constituents, colleagues, and foreign dignitaries—is atypical in ways that extend far beyond the evidence presented at trial. He has lived an extraordinarily good life. One marked by great challenges— his father’s suicide, poverty, and forging a role for Latinos in local and national politics—and distinguished by deep devotion to his personal and religious ideal of service.”

Heavy police presence and wide perimeter here in Valdosta, Ga — where Trump is planning campaign stop in front of this damage

Power is out for days in this community. Businesses closed

One restaurant owner told me: They’re ambivalent about “dignitary visits right now” Image
Traffic lights are out regionwide. Trees down. Billboard toppled. Roofs ripped apart.

Valdosta businesses that have generators are serving food on sidewalks to those who need it.
Schools are closed all week here

City leaders tell me they hope to have 95% of power restored by Saturday.

Water service is good still.
