I don’t think I’d make a good criminal - or politician. I just can’t see myself when caught dead to rights - NOT just saying - ok - you’re right, you got me. I know because - I’ve BEEN in that situation. I realized - just stop digging deeper.

Any thief I’ve ever caught denies it to the very end, even when presented with video evidence.
I once had a roommate like that. Swiped snacks RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU and then would claim they didn’t do it. Smoking on the back porch - caught, he threw his cigarette in the grass. Other roomie says Art, you’re smoking. No I’m not. I just saw you! No you didn’t. THERE’S THE CIGARETTE STILL SMOKING. That’s not mine.
I just shook my head. I MIGHT justify my actions but I wouldn’t DENY what was obvious.
Theres probably something to that statement.
Menendez got convicted but I'd bet real money an honest investigation of the rest of the house and senate, White House goes without saying, there would be dozens if not hundreds shown to be corrupt.
THAT is the most logical reason why he’s so dismissive of all this. It’s an “everybody does it “ thing.
