Staring down controversy, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and Sen. Bob Menendez have used an age-old strategy to try and get out of their situations.
Alito and Menendez may have taken a page out of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell’s and former California Rep. Duncan Hunter’s playbooks, who, too, threw their wives under the bus when faced with legal trouble. While it may be a sound legal strategy, as spousesto testify against one another, it could also be a stab in the back where the wife feels she is being given away.
“It might be his spouse or someone else living in his home, but he shouldn’t have it in his yard as his message to the world,” Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia, told the. She added that this was “the equivalent of putting a ‘Stop the Steal’ sign in your yard, which is a problem if you’re deciding election-related cases.”
“She kept things from him,” Avi Weitzman, Bob Menendez’s attorney, said Tuesday in court. “She kept him in the dark on what she was asking others to give her. She was outgoing; she was fun loving. But she wasn’t going to let Bob know that she had financial problems.” “I knew there was no way I could go home after a day in court and have to rehash the day’s events with my wife,” Bob McDonnell testified, saying he moved out of the family home before the trial began.
He also answered “yes” when asked by the judge if his wife had a “strong emotional attachment” to the man who was accused of giving them the corrupt gifts but stopped short of saying if he believed there was a physical affair.Then-Rep.
