AT 9:31 PM"; "... AT 8:48 AM'; "... AT 11:25 AM"<br /><br />Bob Capano made no mistake in his defense of President Trump..... His BLUNDER was applauding a convicted felon in the process..... However, with blunders like that, your estimate of 11% is a possibility (but don't forget, I did point out that I thought ALL the other candidates had their own very serious deficits as well)..... <br /><br />My like or dislike of former Congressman Michael Grimm is completely irrelevant.... What some people call "character assassination" I call "the truth" or "a fact in the record" or in some instances "fair comment and criticism." I made many of my truthful remarks about Congressman Grimm long before my confrontation with him and his "body man" at Ceol a few years back. And Russell Gallo was NOT my "second." I'm sure he saw what was going down, and thought he might like a piece of the action.<br /><br />Like I said some things just aren't "character assassination"; discussing the terms and conditions of somebody's guilty plea are "fair comment..." about "facts in the record"..... Grimm's allocution to his deeds as they are stated in the indictment sort of says it all.Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-63679541365160361012017-05-24T15:03:59.262-04:002017-05-24T15:03:59.262-04:00Gail in bar?

The court has recently made it clear that Grimm is still being punished for his crimes. <br />People like you, want everybody to overlook the fact that Michael Grimm swore that he did commit all of the crimes alleged in his 30 page, 20 count indictment, including but not limited to the concealment of over a million dollars of gross receipts from federal and state tax authorities, and lying under oath in a federal lawsuit brought by employees that he victimized. <br />Don't forget he was a former FBI Agent, and accountant and a lawyer, at the time he paid people under the table, shorted their pay and cooked the books of his business. <br />A little while ago, the sentencing court would not allow Grimm to apply for re-admission to the bar while still being punished for his crimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-18740171732490433152017-05-23T00:16:02.283-04:002017-05-23T00:16:02.283-04:00Grimms crime was that many years ago he paid deliv...Grimms crime was that many years ago he paid delivery guys in cash.

As if that picture wasn’t enough, the Will Bredderman’s in depth article for the Observer quotes former Congressman Grimm as follows: “…. President Trump needs to fight fire with fire…. He needs to go it alone, and be offensive….” (See “Convicted Ex-Congressman Urges Trump to ‘Fight Fire With Fire’ Amid Spreading Scandal” by Will Bredderman, 5/19/17, The Observer [http://observer.com/2017/05/convicted-congressman-michael-grimm-donald-trump-russia-james-comey-fbi-robert-mueller/]).<br /><br />In a much more subdued and less flavorful bit of coverage of Grimm’s advice to President Trump, the SI Advance quotes the most inflammatory part of Grimm’s rant as follows: “Former Rep. Michael Grimm has penned a letter of advice to President Donald Trump, suggesting he ‘go on the offense’ against Democrats who seek to destroy him, seeing, as Grimm put it, ‘they have employed the “play book” that they regularly use on opponents.’…" [the poor syntax suggests a cleaned-up quote] (See “Michael Grimm has some advice for President Trump's woes” by Rachel Shapiro, 5/19/17, SI Advance/ silive.com [http://www.silive.com/news/2017/05/michael_grimm_has_some_advice.html]).<br /><br />Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-86857178708887837872017-05-22T11:11:14.522-04:002017-05-22T11:11:14.522-04:00Grimm got a raw deal.
