He had served in the Senate since 2006.<\/p>\n<p>John Wisniewski was a New Jersey state assemblyman when Menendez became a congressman.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was always a government legislator, but he was also a political boss, and you did not cross Bob Menendez lightly or without any fear repercussions,&#8221; Wisniewski said.<\/p>\n<h2>Former Sen. Bob Menendez fights sentencing<\/h2>\n<p>Menendez has maintained his innocence. Last week, a federal appears could rejected his latest effort to stay free on bail while he fought to overturn his conviction.<\/p>\n<p>He pleaded for leniency during his sentencing in January, telling the judge, &#8220;I am far from a perfect man. I have made more than my share of mistakes and bad decisions. I&#8217;ve done far more good than bad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Menendez also said on social media a few days ago prosecutors from his own Democratic Party targeted him because he opposed President Obama&#8217;s Iran and Cuba policies. Cuba is where the former senator&#8217;s family fled Fidel Castro&#8217;s revolution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whether or not Bob Menendez liked Barack Obama&#8217;s policies or Joe Biden&#8217;s policies, the president has even more power than the chair of the Foreign Relations Committee,&#8221; Wisniewski said. &#8220;It is a little simplistic &#8230; childish to say that he was convicted because of that. He was convicted because he took bribes of gold and hundreds of thousands of dollars stuffed in his bathrobe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Menendez has also appeared to be angling for a pardon from President Trump, aligning himself with the president&#8217;s criticisms of the judicial system, particularly in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This process is political and it&#8217;s corrupted to the core. I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores the integrity to the system,&#8221; Menendez told reporters after his sentencing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is trying to get a commutation or pardon. He is trying to find a way to get out of jail,&#8221; Wisniewski said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/Christine-Sloan\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Christine  Sloan<\/a> and <\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/renee-anderson\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Renee  Anderson<\/a><\/p>\n<p>        contributed to this report.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/search\/author\/cbs-new-york-team\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS New York  Team<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">The CBS New York Team is a group of experienced journalists who bring you New York web coverage on cbsnews.com.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/bob-menendez-reports-to-prison-for-sentence\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Sen.
