Friendly reminder that on his way out, donald trump pardoned Dr. Salomon Melgen, “the Democratic donor and friend of Menendez who was convicted of defrauding elderly patients on Medicare and stood trial with Menendez in 2017, when the longtime friends faced corruption charges.
That ended in a mistrial, but Melgen was convicted in a separate federal case of 67 crimes that included health care fraud, submitting false claims and falsifying records in patients' files.
Prosecutors alleged Melgen stole $73 million from Medicare over several years by persuading elderly patients to undergo unnecessary eye treatments. Melgen was sentenced to 17 years in prison.”
Trump pardoned him after Menendez asked him to.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
