NY Rep. Michael "I'll Break You In Half" Grimm Indicted On 20 Counts Of Fraud
NY Republican Congressman, and former FBI agent (ironically), Michael Grimm - who became infamous for threatening an NY1 reporter "I'll throw you off the fucking balcony... I'll break you in half" - has been indicted on campaign finance charges as well as mail, wire, and healthcare fraud. Oh and since he seemed such a trustworthy and honest chap after his apology for the prevous threats, he is also being charged with perjury after lying about all the other shit he did... Welcome to American politics... As AP reports, he has pleaded not guilty to the 20-count federal indictment.
He’s charged with engaging in schemes to underreport wages for restaurant workers, including some who were in the country illegally. He’s accused of concealing more than $1 million in sales and wages.
“As a former FBI agent, Rep. Grimm should understand the motto: fidelity, bravery, and integrity. Yet he broke our credo at nearly every turn,” FBI Assistant Director George Venizelos said in a statement. “In this 20-count indictment, Rep. Grimm lived by a new motto: fraud, perjury, and obstruction.”
...
The alleged fraud occurred from 2007 to 2010 when authorities said Grimm was one of the owners and the managing member of an Upper East Side fast food restaurant called Healthalicious and oversaw the day-to-day operations of the restaurant.
Prosecutors said during that time, Grimm filed false state and federal tax returns to underreport over a $1 million in sales and wages by concealing gross receipts for cash purchases and paid workers hundreds of thousands of dollars off the books.
“Healthalicious was a small business and it sold casual food so many people used cash and it was this cash that Michael Grimm exploited making over a $1 million simply disappear,” Lynch said. “Grimm took the cash from the register, used part of it to pay the workers off the books, never reporting it to the taxing authorities.”
When it came to this restaurant, Michael Grimm never met a tax he didn’t lie to evade,” Lynch added.
Authorities also say that when he was deposed by an attorney representing former employees in a lawsuit, Grimm lied under oath about his allegedly fraudulent business practices.
“Rep. Grimm billed himself as a patriot and an American hero,” Venizelos said. “But Rep. Grimm was anything but an upstanding citizen. He cheated, evaded and then lied.”

America's finest! This is the epitome of our problem...too much government rum by scumbags like this guy...
what a tool!
Someone has to suck off the state. If not him, someone else will show up. The system is what needs to go down in flames.
pay a small fine and run for the Senate......or POTUS
"pay a small fine and run for the Senate......or POTUS"
THAT ONLY WORKS IF HE RUNS AS A DEMOCRAT!!!
Evading taxes on your Caribbean vacation home (wrangle). And having sex with underage Dominican prostitues (sen menendez) only works if you are a democrat. Not saying republicans tend to be any less corrupt, the pox on both their houses, just pointing out the blatant media bias. I guess this one gives the MSM something to transition to now that the people have grown tired of Christie creme and his bridge scandal.
What you guys are missing is that Michael Grimm is clearly not part of the club, and they don't want him to be... pariah
He forgot to put the polish on his tarnished facade, let alone try and buff it out.
You know how you can tell when a politician is lying ?
Their lips are moving.
If they're saying he did such terrible things, maybe he's a good guy, no? I mean, if they had thrown in kiddie porn, then they would have left no doubt in my mind.
That reporter was actually an instigator as he asked him if was true that his father was a homo sapien and his mother was a thespian.
That drove the congressman to go balistic, as he thought that ........
s/
This is true, Dona. Frontal lobe impaired gorillas are uncapable of sensing a setup. Shame on the reporter. LOL
government rum.....mmmmmmh!
Maybe he has some dirt on Peter King? Or is that asking too much?
pods
I want a UFC match!
"Brainless Warmongers Still Making a Living off 9-11" - we can even let Petey wear brass knuckles?
is david vitter (?) from louisiana republican?
You mean "family values", hooker-buying, Depends defecator (and spanking afterwards) 'Diaper Dave', who has now "moved on" to doing his business in ladies underwear?
So Grimm is indicted, but Corzine continues to roam free, never even being indicted, and hardly even investigated. And Lois Lerner of the IRS pleads the fifth and there isn't even a smidgeon of corruption. Eric Holder Fast & Furious Justice at it's finest.
no. they all are crooks.
time to give up on all of them
I feel like this makes him qualified to run for the senate. That's where the real criminals are. Congress is for amateurs. This signals that he is ready for the big leagues.
Somebody got his pc and phone data....oppps
He wouldn't be indicted for perjury if he were Attorney General...
They are all like this....They make the laws.....They do not follow the laws they create.
YET WE ARE SUPPOSED TO
And They want to disarm the country
Our system is set up to deal with politicians like him when they exception to the rule, but when they become the norm the people get trampled on.
Ah Ha... I didn't realize this was the "I'll break you in half" guy... TFF watching the system melt down...
He is a prime example of a traitorous piece of shit, in bed with the ethno-mafia, like 99% of the others in Congress.

I recall a number of his backers have a certain specific dietary requirement which is no surprise given where he's from. Any word on if his co conspirators are going to do the perp w4lk?
Either wya looks good on that high blood pressure having fuckwhistle.
.
Beware of the douche Michael Grimm
He likes to workout at the gym
If questions are tough
He likes getting rough
His chance of election's now slim
The Limerick King
With penmanship like that, he might just matriculate this semester!
Grimm will look at that picture and think "Holy crap I look good".
lmao
Right on the money. I guarantee that guy is on some anabolic steroid off and on - my guess would be winstrol. The guy is normally all red faced, and when he gets into hulk smash mode he is even worse. I know when I used winny my face looked much like his in terms of hue ( albeit not as guidolicious ).
2:44, must watch on the situ

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving former feeb (FBI type):

the bigger point is, beyond his pocket tough-guy scumbag act, alot of $ was flowing from zio-cons ... never seen an ex-military guy so interested in more war, except for McCain
Gummint: ctrl-alt-delete
lol couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Maybe he could pay taxpayers back through chain gang labor?
RIPS
liars, cheats, and a system that encourages both... isn't freedom grand?
anyone who continues to participate in this corrupt political system in any degree is a fucking moron....
if everyone would turn their backs on this shit and exit every aspect of the MoneyChangers paradigm the change that is inevitable would commence in earnest...
EXIT THE DEBT PARADIGM....
Hardly, being debt free does not give you a free pass... You still have to live in their world, buy their goods, use their currency, pay their taxes... That is unless you are going to live on a desert island and be 100% self-sufficient...
I think the point is "they" wouldn't have a world if we didn't indebt ourselves to their evil.
The whole fucking thing is a giant wobbly edifice of debt. We pay each other in IOUs. We pay each other 'tomorrow'. We live in a credit wonderland, spinning our bullshit in one long destructive cycle. The debt machine is a lark, it's a big fucking joke. It is just a paradigm too - and one which is used, like so many others, to herd domesticated humans into extracting value from the planet and handing it over. There is no 'solution' to a system that fails because it was taken as far as it could go and has fulfilled it's purpose.
Things will progress by other means.
If you have been mindful of debt and have two incomes one of you might leave the tax mule business and set about providing those things that you can for yourselves. Things that the money changers cannot tax away from you or are at least reducing the credit that the beast NEEDS to keep from dying. Go Gault one half at a time and it will be enough to kill the beast and set us all free, they NEED the money more than you do. Time to go check the garden my cabbage got a bit of frost last night...
Malaka
And yet Harry Reid walks about...
There is no equality under the law in the federal 'justice' department.
Harry Reid did worse — doubled and squared. And Al Sharpton is an FBI snitch, so he gets a pass...
"Indictments" are great, but, it's really the convictions and executions that matter.
I won't hold my breath.
No suprise here, I don't know of any honest politicians. He just pissed off somebody farther up the food chain. Pay back can be a mother-fucker.
He's a republican from NY... He was born with a target on his back... Still, you have to be dirty for this kind of shit to go down... Doesn't matter which team colors you wear...
Most republicans in NYC are mobbed up. They are to be neither seen nor heard. Just an observation on my part, not a scientific measurement, of course.
It's the Obama Regime. They are further up the chain for now.
I wonder if he would have been investigated had he not said anything to that reporter
The investigation was WHY he was being interviewed and also why he said those terrable terrable things...
Hey guys,, hey you, the ones doing bird, a present coming your way..
A new girlfriend for you. Be sure to show him some tender loving ass fucking and don't forget to all join in.
Only a bitch makes loudmouthed threats they can't/won't carry through. Mr. Grimm, you are a bitch and we celebrate your fall.
If only he had been running a HFT or was a banker, he would have no worries.
As a former FBI agent, Grimm discovered his normal mode of addressing the public, ' I'll throw you off a fucking balcony', was ill suited to his new role.
Well, only when "on camera."
Otherwise, it's SOP for both career paths.
Tax evasion is crime I can support. But multiple identities, hit and run, and low profile are sorta important.
I must admit to supporting his efforts to evade as many criminal taxes in NY State and the Feds as possible. Tax evasion, in one sense, is a badge of honor.
Still, he does seem like a scumbag.
He meant to say "break bread" and "we wave from the Balcony."
Wow...a single Restaurant "scam"? Just having a Restaurant is a business.
Food too cheap for the minders? "Must be some sinister and nefarious purpose behind the five dollar fish fry"?
Why we're on the subject of money laundering and insurance fraud...
What a douche. Mom must be proud. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Mafia is at least honest about what they are.
<-- he got caught - dumber than a sack of rocks
<-- too bad his name isn't reid or corzine
Grimm/Weiner 2016!!!!!
A million? Are you fkn kidding me??? Fourth spot rounding error to gubermint.
Scumbag. I am disgusted to see that he was a Marine also. That part of his bio is rather vague other being deployed for Desert Shield/Storm.
CoChair of the House Isreal Caucus??? I am sure the corruption goes even deeper then...
Ex FBI in a Fed prison... They are gonna "love" him...
<--- DONKEY PUNCH! love
<--- Pink sock love
Not gay enough for DC?
Grimm also stands accused of accepting illegal cash donations from Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, whose Manhattan East Side congregation has attracted the likes of former New York Congressman and lewd Twitter aficionado Anthony Weiner. A former aide to Pinto claimed on Israeli television that Pinto foresaw the 9/11 attack. Pinto’s aide said, “We came to New York and we saw these two towers standing out in Manhattan . . . [Pinto said] ‘A devastating tragedy with airplanes will occur here.’” After a multi-year investigation of 9/11, WMR concluded that Israel was actively involved in the planning for and carrying out of the 9/11 attacks, using Saudi agents, as well as Arab dupes as cover.
WMR has been informed by sources close to New York’s legal community that Grimm’s rabbi troubles do not end with Pinto. Grimm also allegedly received foreign contributions to his campaign through the auspices of individuals connected to Orthodox Rabbi Jacob Ostreicher.
So... he might skate... or he might not even survive long enough to make it to trial.
Grimm's defense against the charges:
"It's all a fairytale"
There is a positive side to mob rule.
I guess he doesnt know where enough skeletons are buried.
He would be a fucking hereo if he would have grabbed Harry Reid and then jumped over the railing with the creep in tow.
Former FBI? Fuck him. But, most other congressmen are neck-deep in corruption too. Why him and not the others? This sounds a good start on prosecuting congressmen, and will likely be a bad ending in stopping when they're through with him.
Our New York legal sources also claim that Grimm’s problems extend further to accepting illegal donations from the late New York slum lord and Hasidic Rabbi Menachem Stark. In early January, Stark’s half burnt corpse was pulled from a dumpster at a Getty gas station in Great Neck, New York. Stark owned some of New York’s worst roach and rat infested dwellings that served mainly as crack houses and centers for other illegal activity. Although members of New York’s Jewish community praise Stark for his “philanthropy,” the New York Post quoted one New York City police official saying of Stark, “He’s a Hasidic Jew from Williamsburg, and we think he’s a scammer . . . And he fucked over a few people.”
The word from the corridors of New York City’s court houses is that Grimm was placed in office by a group of crooked Jewish rabbis who are suspected of running rackets from organ harvesting, money laundering, diamond and drug smuggling, usurious loan sharking operations, as well as covering up for child sexual abuse among Brooklyn’s large Hasidic population. It is the last item on the rabbinical rap sheet that likely helped prompt Grimm to warn Scotto, who is reportedly gay, “I’ll break you in half . . . like a boy.“
These are the Grimm facts on one of the dirtiest members of the U.S. Congress, a distinction that is difficult to achieve with all the competition.

You (Grimm) Reap what you Sow!
I'll have to wait a bit to see if anything sticks but all these allegations involving cash will be very hard to prove. Wait staff often under report tips so he may be being accused of paying off the books when he never handled the money to begin with. Having grown up in the business, in the olden days we hardly had any CC business as people were not yet debt slaves. In a mostly cash business it is an easy accusation to make.
Fresh prison bitch incoming!
Wait a minute... as an owner he nderreported cash at a NYC restaurant ? Paid cash to illegals who work there ? Sounds like every single restaurant in NYC. Seriouly where is the problem.
This sounds like a set up. maybe the rabbis need a diversion from themselves.. and Grim was visited by the Grim Reaper.
The NY1 reporter is a dickhead... should have thrown him off of the balcony
I just loved to see assholes like this one burn down!
Fuck You Grimm! You need to be "Bitch-Slapped" like the little Pussy that you are followed by a swift kick in the Nuts! Yeah, that should just about do it!!!
Someone better tell Palin, Bachmann, et al. that licking Israeli butt doesn't offer as much protection as it once did.
http://forward.com/articles/137094/house-newcomer-defies-gop-leaders-on-israel-from-t/
that remains to be seen
Steroids, plain and simple.
Cops, firefighter corrections officers, assorted feds... all jacked up and belligerent.
What?
No indictment for naming a restaurant 'Healthalicious'?
That alone is a heinous crime.
Now would be an excelent time to commence the civil case for terroristic threatening.
So what did he do wrong? Employing people, running businesses, and doging taxes are fairly upstanding things do, IMHO. I do however always savor the irony of one of "them" being consumed by their own rules.
Another Lib-Tard ... Why you have such a hard time saying it, Tyler?
Maybe, just maybe; and sometimes, just sometimes, there might possibly - but don't hold your breath - be justice in this world.
Now if Grimm would use his FBI firearms training and eat his gun he would make a whole lot of people very, very happy.
Or better yet - use a nailgun. Please.
Now that he is charged, we see he is a little fish.
If he gets convicted, we get to see he is a teeny tiny little fish and he should reel in his ego before he takes up a new residence in the pen.
One should look at the legislation he proposed or was a supporter of, it seems like he stepped on the wrong toes. This is NY after all . Then again it might be a simple case of someone not receiving their " envelope"
the fbi is a branch of organized crime, making this story a tale of dog biting man.
He might be a cunt, but shouldn't tax avoidance be considered patriotic?
NY Republican Congressman, and former FBI agent (unsurprisingly), Michael Grimm - who became infamous for threatening an NY1 reporter "I'll throw you off the fucking balcony... I'll break you in half" - has been indicted on campaign finance charges as well as mail, wire, and healthcare fraud.
Hey, fixed that for ya.
This just confirms Grimm is a moron. Once you get into tax fraud issues the tables turn, the accused has to prove he's innocent, if he had a scintilla of intelligence he would have known this with his background, ya know like Al Capone...
