  • Meléndez should be deported back to CUBA 🇨🇺 AFTER HE SERVED HIS PRISON SENTENCE.

    When some resigns from their “employment”, you should always accept it and make it immediate! Don’t let them stick around and do possible damage for a few more days, weeks, or months! Anyone who has ever been in HR knows this!
  • @johndang9356
    How about his dirty wife ? Did she get convicted too
  • @barryjanis
    Clean out your office and get outta here .!
  • @JoeyJoJoJr0
    So instead of being fired months ago, they get to retire with a pension and fade away into obscurity?
  • @timmckenna210
    Gold bar Bob is on his way out after years of padding his finances at the public expense.
  • @geridannels1701
    He should not get any pention or free healthcare for life!
  • I just watched Benny Johnson and Redacted. Benny is funny. I love the reporter couple running Redacted.
  • @fordtruckman80
    Now start unwrapping the rest of the Democrats involved in criminal dealings. He's not the only one. The party needed to be cleaned out 4 years ago.
  • @helensmith7177 - you are reading my mind. I am a retired HR Director. Why are they allowing him to stick around until August 20? I say “show him the door.” Cut off his IT access immediately, send him home, and pack up any personal items in his office and mail or deliver them to his home. Be sure to collect anything belonging to the State of New Jersey - key card access, office/desk keys PLUS anything belonging to the State of New Jersey that he has in his home (computer, printer, etc.). Get him out ASAP before he can do any more damage. He is a convicted felon!
  • @kolsen6330
    At least he had the class to resign after he was convicted, unlike another politician. But then, that other politician has repeatedly shown that he has no class.
