New York RINO Michael Grimm who ran as a tea party candidate in 2010, then quickly became a Karl Rove big government Republican was indicted and 20 counts of fraud and other issues after being arrested in New York today. The corrupt Obama DOJ made sure to go after Grimm after the period of being able to remove yourself from the ballot for the November election this year. This means, with all of Grimm’s alleged corruption, he’s probably toast in November. Should Grimm lose in November, he wouldn’t be missed. You’ll also notice that the various media reports all mention that Grimm is a Republican. Had Grimm been a Democrat (even though he votes like one), his party affiliation would still be a mystery to some people now.

New York Rep. Michael Grimm was indicted Monday on 20 counts of fraud and other charges relating to a Manhattan restaurant he owned and operated, accused by federal prosecutors of evading the IRS and making over $1 million in revenue “disappear.”
The Republican congressman, who is a former FBI agent, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in Brooklyn. After he was arrested earlier in the day, Grimm was released on $400,000 bond. He was ordered to stay within the continental U.S., and surrender his passport by May 11.
“Michael Grimm made the choice to go from upholding the law to breaking it,” U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said at a press conference detailing the charges. “And in doing so, he turned his back on every oath he had ever taken.”
Just hours after Justice Department officials unveiled the charges, Grimm vehemently defended himself against what he called a “political witch hunt.”
