Just days after pleading guilty to felony tax evasion, Staten Island’s Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) has turned in his resignation. Grimm, of course, is the awful potentially mob-affiliated ex-FBI (who may have not left on good terms) politico who once threatened to break a reporter in half. On Monday night Grimm released the following statement: […]
The story of Michael Grimm continues to get more salacious. The New York Congressman, who was arrested on federal criminal charges this month, was barred from entering FBI’s New York offices after he left the force in 2006, according to a new report from DNAinfo’s Murray Weiss. Grimm’s photo hangs inside the FBI offices along […]
When U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm was arrested on federal criminal charges Monday, it was not questionable campaign finances that did him in, nor his televised threats against an NY1 reporter, but alleged tax evasion at Healthalicious, a small Upper East Side restaurant the congressman operated for a time before taking office.

When Rep. Michael Grimm’s attorney announced that the Staten Island Republican would be indicted on federal charges last week, he maintained Grimm’s innocence, claiming he would be “vindicated” by the legal process.

Michael Grimm, who threatened to throw NY1 reporter Michael Scotto “off this fucking balcony” after Scotto attempted to ask a question about Grimm’s shady campaign finances. “To be fair, ‘I […]
The most exciting part of last night’s State of the Union broadcast came after the speech itself, on NY1. During a post-SOTU interview, reporter Michael Scotto asked Staten Island Republican Rep. Michael Grimm a question regarding his campaign finances, which are currently under federal investigation. Grimm didn’t like that, and stormed off. The action started when […]
Michael Grimm, the possibly mob-affiliated Staten Island Republican who has ginned up the outrage machine over “offensive” art, painted some teenaged vandalism of his office as a Democratic plot, and had his campaign funding repeatedly investigated on the federal level, is up to his old tricks again. Allegedly pissed off that he wasn’t invited to […]
