BreeddekalbL Posted April 25, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2014 Law enforcement sources say New York Rep. Michael Grimm is expected to face federal criminal charges as early as next week. The exact charges were not immediately clear, but are believed to be centered around a private business deal that took place before he was elected to Congress. Grimm's lawyer, William McGinley, confirmed in a statement that prosecutors have said they intend to file criminal charges. "We are disappointed by the government's decision, but hardly surprised. From the beginning, the government has pursued a politically driven vendetta against Congressman Grimm and not an independent search for the truth," McGinley said. "Congressman Grimm asserts his innocence of any wrongdoing. When the dust settles, he will be vindicated." One of his fundraisers was arrested earlier this year by the FBI and is accused of using straw donors to funnel more than $10,000 into the Republican’s campaign. Grimm, a Republican former FBI agent and U.S. Marine, is serving his second term representing Staten Island. He has not been accused of any wrongdoing in that case, which is still under investigation. In January, he erupted at a local TV reporter on camera and threatened that he would "break you in half, like a boy" after the State of the Union address when he was asked about the federal investigation into his campaign finances. He later apologized. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Congressman-Michael-Grimm-Charges-Healthalicious-256740761.html?_osource=SocialFlowFB_NYBrand lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traingoat Posted April 27, 2014 Share #9 Posted April 27, 2014 and he (michael scotto) is related to rosanna scotto and thats how the connection came about Look I grew up in Long Island City and half the people I knew had relations somehow connected and they weren't just Italian background. Some of them did become the next generation of hoods but the other half became cops to go after them. This is the nature of any city whether New York or Philly.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted April 30, 2014 Share #11 Posted April 30, 2014 I can't believe I voted for this guy previously. I admired him for his hard work and fiscal conservative views. He came from a good German and Italian-American family (hence the German name "Grimm"), worked to keep America safe and promised Staten Islanders and folks from Southwest Brooklyn that he would better than his predecessor. So much for that idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
