Forget it Jake, it’s Staten Island…
Grimm reportedly pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges in 2014 and served seven months in prison, being forced to give up his congressional seat.
reportedly?
Beat me to it. WTF?
According to Donovan’s account of his meeting with Trump, he did raise the issue but was rebuffed by Trump aides who insisted he go through the proper channels of the DOJ to obtain a pardon.
Yes, because we all know in the Trump administration Presidential pardons are scrupulously reviewed and put through the required layers of vetting before they're granted.There is an executive order coming out next week classifying all court documents Ultra Mega Top Secret Burn Before Reading. Congress will have approved it ex post facto on 30 June 2018.
Grimm is grim. He’s also a felon.
Staten Island, literally the anus of New York…
Serious Trump country full of rascist ginzones, mobsters and the like,
Stay away, but the ferry ride is a great tourist attraction…
It’s hard to know whom to believe, between a convicted felon republican and an establishment republican.
It’s merely the difference between a felon and a felon that has somehow eluded the law.
Yes Staten Island, the “Appalachia” of the five boroughs, I assume when those good folks in fly over country derisively refer to “East Coast Elites” they’re not talking about Staten Island.
There is a story that there was a dispute between new york and new jersey over which state should get staten island, and that the argument was settled by a boat race. Loser to get it.
How many long legal forms and meetings did that poor kim kardashian have to attend before she was able to file and meet her husband’s hero to see justice done?
The Trump administration, distilled in one word:
Rather like refusing to call a lie a lie.
You look at a map and think “hey, that’s part of New Jersey”
you look at the political/demographic profile and think “hey, that’s New Jersey”
Give Staten Island to NJ
Take the remaining 4 boroughs + Westchester + the rest of Long Island and make it a State.
(from an armchair geographer in CA)
Sounds like Grimm is breaking in two like a little boy.
The bigliest scruples! The bestest scruples!
It is a matter of public record.
They tried to give it to NJ, it was politely refused…
BTW, splitting NY into 2 states would be a Republican wet dream. North of Westchester starts to resemble Alabama very quickly…
