Mr. Uribe had been accused of providing Nadine Menendez, the senator’s wife, with a Mercedes-Benz in exchange for Mr. Menendez’s efforts to intercede in an insurance-fraud investigation in New Jersey. ...

Judge Sidney H. Stein of Federal District Court set Mr. Uribe’s sentencing for June 14, which means it could come in the midst of the trial of Mr. Menendez and his three remaining co-defendants, which is scheduled to start on May 6.

Does anyone think that is a coincidence? I'd bet that Uribe gets a starring role in the next trial in exchange for consideration on sentencing. Stay tuned!
