Rep. Michael G. Grimm, New York Republican, said Tuesday he does not plan to resign his seat after pleading guilty to one felony tax charge tied to activities involving a restaurant he co-owned prior to winning election to Congress in 2010.
Grimm pleaded guilty to helping prepare a false tax return, a charge stemming from a 20-count indictment against the congressman handed up in April. The former FBI agent faces up to three years in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced June 8.
The indictment accused Grimm of understating gross receipts and employee wages at a health restaurant he had co-owned by more than $1 million.
After his court appearance, Grimm apologized for his actions and said what he did was wrong but said he does not plan to step down.
“I’m going to get back to work and work as hard as I can,” he said.
No you're not. You don't get to do that. Does he?
Well apparently so far nobody is locking him out of his office or dragging him off the floor of Congress in handcuffs, so I guess he can.
I mean sure the Democrats are pitching a fit and calling for Boehner to give this criminal the heave ho, but who listens to them anymore?
And don't forget that this is the same asshole who threatened to break a reporter in half and throw him off a balcony.
If you want to watch a brilliant take on this Rachel Maddow has that very thing for you.
What a two-bit thug.
ReplyDeleteThat TV reporter should have sued him for threatening bodily harm -- or even murder.
Congrats on snagging Nancy French as a Twitter follower.
ReplyDeleteRemember that dude that harassed Bristol in a bar and then sued her?
Nancy French is married to the litigator who defended Bristol and as you would say "handed him his ass".
Small world huh?
Why would you think Nancy needs anxiety meds?
Are you her girlfriend?
DeleteMaybe The Palins should have had the same dude sue the APD and everyone at the party for making the Palins look like Valley Trash>? Right?

A felon in our U.S Congress! A man that was reelected even though all those charges were out there against him - which he denied doing! I thought that once a person was found to be a felon and serves jail time (which he has coming!) that they lost their right to vote!? How can he stay in the United States Congress where he'll be asked to cast his vote?
ReplyDeleteHe needs to be thrown out of there on his ear!
Another Republican that should be strung up! The guy is an ass. Were he a regular citizen he would have more than likely lost his job!
Republicans make me sick to my stomach!
Thugs and grifters and felons, oh my!
ReplyDeleteStill, Gryphen, have a very Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holiday and relax and be merry! In the midst of cooking and expecting company to arrive and the crazy of the season, I still take minutes off to check IM. It's always on my mind; wonder what G. has in store for the day.
Take care, IM commenters; I really enjoy the funny comments here and Gryphen's humorous posts; always look forward to reading here.
Every time I see this creep the phrase "sinveling, petulant, beady-eyed preppy shit-head asshole" comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteGood phrase. About covers it.
DeleteWhen they lock his ass up in the federal penitentiary, he won't be able to represent his District in Congress.
ReplyDeleteHow about a boycott of his restaurant? How about full restitution and an additional $1 million fine? How about a huge demonstration outside his house and restaurant.
ReplyDeleteThis dingaling represents my district in Brooklyn and parts of Staten Island, I can't begin to tell you how many people around here had Grimm signs in their yards and windows before the last election. His legal "track record" doesn't seem to matter; I honestly don't know what the attraction is. I think he may have something to do with police or firefighters? Many Dems I know are as perplexed as I am. I'd love to see him marched away in plastic wrist ties with his jacket over his head, but I'm afraid it ain't gonna happen. IOKIYAR.
ReplyDeleteOn that note, happy holidays to all IMers from the land of bagels and knishes! Now all youse enjoy some over-the-top Christmas lights from ovah heah--

The Dyker Lights are awesome! Nothing does my pagan heart more good than over the top Christmas lights.
DeleteHappy Solstice everyone!
Liz I. @3:00 PM: Now that the Solstice has come-and-gone and we are already a bit in to the new Turn Around the Sun, let us all wish everyone on this blog a healthy and contented one. We tend to bitch and moan, but just for a moment let us reflect upon the good things that happen in each of our lives.
DeleteI, for one, am grateful to the president who, while human, has willingly undertaken an almost super human task, one that seems impossible...
This lying grifter bragged on camera back in May 2014 that he was innocent, and would be fully exonerated.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Christian Teaparty example for the rest of his tribe!

Grimm is also the same lowlife thug ASSHOLE who threatened someone's life on camera, by claiming he'd throw him over a balcony!

How in fuck can a sitting Congressman swear at a reporter asking questions , threaten someone's life on camera, and not be kicked out of Congress?
This lowlife thieving felonious thug is almost as much of a lying bastard as Palin and Nugent, althought even Grimm may deserve more credit than those two stinking cowards
Hey Grimm (perfect name), Charles Manson called and he wants his eyes back.
ReplyDeleteMy husband would not have his job as a Casino shift mgr,my daughter would not have her job as a Blackjack dealer,friends who work in retail would lose their jobs as well if they were guilty of a felony.But this jerk gets to keep his government job and stay out of jail for being a part of a one million dollar fraud case? If he under reported his employees income as part of the tax fraud,he likely under paid their taxes,and defrauded his employees as well.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't hire a felon, so why should he keep his job? The nile's a river in egypt, watch your asp if you fall short and get to prison, Mr Grimm.
ReplyDeleteJust what we need a felon writing the laws. Wanna bet he wants to impeach Pres. Obama for his "crimes".
