<p>The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is out with another press release this afternoon reminding reporters that GOP Congressman Michael Grimm <a href="http://www.politicker.com/2012/01/28/michael-grimm-faces-serious-fundraising-allegations/" target="_blank">is facing allegations</a> he broke the law in order to finance his 2010 campaign. Linking to a <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/hunterw/status/169065462565572611" target="_blank">tweet from a member of <em>The Politicker</em> team</a> reporting House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's statement that he hadn't spoken to Mr. Grimm about the controversy, the DCCC argued Mr. Cantor should indeed be in conversation with Mr. Grimm.</p>
<p>The Democratic organization then "gave" Mr. Cantor Mr. Grimm's phone number in the release. Mr. Cantor likely already has this number.</p>
<p>“The silence from Speaker John Boehner and Republican Leader Eric Cantor on Congressman Michael Grimm’s fundraising scandal is deafening,” said a DCCC spokesperson. “Leader Cantor pledged a ‘zero tolerance’ policy for ethics but it appears he has zero interest in even making a telephone call about it.”</p>
<p><!--more-->The DCCC has also sent out <a href="http://dccc.org/blog/entry/mr._speaker_here_are_the_details_on_michael_grimm/" target="_blank">a press release</a> specifically "providing" Mr. Boehner with details on the allegations. They've additionally called on Congressman Bob Turner to return Mr. Grimm's <a href="http://foresthills.patch.com/articles/dccc-turner-should-return-grimm-s-tainted-cash" target="_blank">"tainted campaign cash,"</a> as well as passing along <a href="http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2012/02/awaiting_word_from_grimm_in_dc.html" target="_blank">multiple</a> <a href="http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2012/01/staten_island_rep_michael_grim_12.html" target="_blank">stories</a> on the allegations to further disseminate them.</p>
<p>For his part, Congressman Grimm has repeatedly <a href="http://www.politicker.com/2012/02/01/congressman-grimm-i-never-accepted-illegal-cash-contributions/" target="_blank">denied any wrongdoing</a>.</p>
