Nobody knows what the jury will decide when it comes to Menendez’s fate, but just in case, American Commitment President Phil Kerpen spotted the Senate Dems trying to send some potentially embarrassing claims down the memory hole.

It certainly looks like the Dems wanted to remove any potential embarrassments, just in case:
