Situation even more Grimm

Rep. Michael Grimm, facing federal charges, surrenders to FBI - The Washington Post Why is our system such that people can't help but get in criminal trouble running for office? Is it the system or the peeps? "Healthalicious"

Compared to what other politicians have done, this almost makes him seem like a saint. (Him threatening to push a reporter off a balcony notwithstanding.)

So we should give him a pass because others are just as bad if not worse? That only gives others a pass when they break the law.

This guy would have still been investigated if he were not someone who is elected. It is just that he would not be in the news if he were just an everyday crook.

I dunno about the rest of it, but I'm okay with threatening the reporter.

Not at all. Rather, we should lock up more politicians

Even Grimmer Michael Grimm, US ex-congressman, jailed for tax evasion - BBC News "The fraud was "an aberration in an otherwise unremarkable life in selfless service of his country", his defence team wrote in court papers. Grimm is "tremendously remorseful", they said. A former Marine and FBI agent, Grim was first elected to the House of the Representatives in 2010. The fraud started after Grimm retired from the FBI. In 2007, he began running the day-to-day operations of Healthalicious. "

Wasn't it Diesel911 who said that the reporter had nothing to worry about, since everyone knows that politicians never tell the truth?
