Violent, arrogant dumbass indicted
And if the title had you immediately thinking of Teabagger Congresscritter Michael Grimm, well more power to you. The ex-Marine who was kicked out of the FBI has been indicted on 20 federal counts including mail, wire and tax fraud.
Prosecutors charged Grimm with engaging in schemes to under-report wages for restaurant workers, including some who were in the country illegally. They also accused him of concealing more than $1 million in sales and wages.He is a Republican/Teabagger, how could anybody in their right mind imagine he was an upstanding citizen?
Grimm once was an investor in a Manhattan health food restaurant called Healthalicious that has been accused in a lawsuit of cheating its workers and fined by the state for failing to carry workers' compensation. He has said he sold his interest in 2009.
Authorities said that when Grimm was deposed by an attorney representing former employees in the lawsuit, he lied under oath about his allegedly fraudulent business practices. The charges are the result of a two-year-long investigation.
The congressman was awaiting arraignment in Brooklyn federal court as of Monday morning.
Grimm, 44, a former Marine and FBI agent, represents parts of the New York City boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn.
"Rep. Grimm billed himself as a patriot and an American hero," said George Venizelos, head of the FBI's New York office. "... But Rep. Grimm was anything but an upstanding citizen. He cheated, evaded and then lied."
