Dems Pile on Grimm Over Fundraising Allegations; File FEC Complaint

While GOP Congressman Michael Grimm faces allegations that he accepted envelopes filled with campaign cash, contributions from straw donors and more, Democrats are not letting up.

Notably, Manny Ortegy, the Law Chair of the Staten Island Democratic Party, filed a complaint to the Federal Elections Commission, calling on them to “refer these allegations, as appropriate, for criminal prosecution.”

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is jumping into the fray as well, forwarding unfriendly articles, like one casting doubt on the Republican lawmaker’s future. The DCCC also called on New York’s other GOP Congressman, Bob Turner to return campaign contributions sent his way by Mr. Grimm.

    Down goes Grimm?

    We can only hope.

    He is 100% phoney and maybe a criminal to boot.

    I know Ortega is a Hispanic name, but you should be more careful abut writing people’s name. HIs name is Manuel Ortega (not Ortegy)! -__-

    This is all nonsense. Anyone who has ever met Mike Grimm knows his integrity. He is genuine and his track record speaks for his dedication to our country.
