    Sounds like he pushed the grift a little too far

    Senator Menendez “improperly advised and pressured” a high-level official at the Department of Agriculture to demand they stop interfering in the IS EG Halal monopoly that prosecutors say was “detrimental to US interests”.

    He got busted because of halal foods, not the arms deals? Are we all fucked?
