(R-NY) Grimm Pleads Guilty to Tax Fraud


http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local...dfasdfasdfasdf

New York Rep. Michael Grimm pleaded guilty to a single count of tax fraud Tuesday in Brooklyn federal court.

The guilty plea comes one month after the congressman, a Republican who represents Staten Island, was elected to a third term.

In April, Grimm was named in a 20-count indictment that accused him of under-reporting the payroll and earnings of his Upper East Side restaurant, Healthalicious, which he ran from 2007 to 2010. He pleaded not guilty in federal court and was released on bond.


Prosecutors alleged Grimm employed a number of immigrant workers who did not have legal status to work in the U.S., and paid them in cash -- wages that were not reported to the government.

He also allegedly "substantially under-reported" the restaurant's gross receipts, lowering its taxes.

What about Bohner ? ... how does he act with a felon in the House ?

Maybe Grimmy threatened him too.. said something like "I'll break you like a BOY!" ;-)

Republican congressman Michael Grimm pleads guilty to tax evasion but won't resign from office

"On Tuesday, Republican Rep. Michael Grimm pleaded guilty to tax evasion, months before his trial was to start. Grimm was accused of falsifying tax returns for his restaurant before he was elected to Congress in 2010, and he is scheduled to be sentenced in June. Grimm quickly declared that he would not resign from the House, despite previously promising to leave if convicted."

===================================
He's going to be a thorn on the side of Republicans and they know it. Time to prepare a speech that says something like he's leaving to spend more time with the family.

Many may not remember Congressman Jay Kim (R-CA) who wore the bracelet and was confined to DC back in the late 90's.

Assuming Grimmy's attorneys can keep him out of jail after his felony guilty plea (highly unlikely) ... he may be the second!

Yes, but i was the first to ask about the potential for an ankle bracelet.

The people of Staten Island were pretty stupid to reelect a clown with anger management issues and 20 felony indictments hanging over his head -- wouldn't you say? ;-)

I don't know anything about the story.

I will just go by what you say about it.
