FBI Probing Rep. Michael Grimm, Not Skinny-Dipping

[Swede]

But FBI agents were actually interested in Grimm’s failure to file paperwork related to his trip to Cyprus following his Israeli junket, which had been paid for by the Cyprus Federation of America. The president of that company was arrested on federal corruption charges in June. Grimm had reported the Israel trip in his initial filing in May but did not list the trip to Cyprus until he amended it in June, one day after Cyprus Federation of America’s president was arrested.

FBI agents may have asked questions about “who went into the water that night, and whether there was any impropriety,” as Politico reported, but sources indicated the dip in the water certainly wasn’t the FBI’s central focus.

Grimm’s office did not comment about the incident to the Staten Island Advance, but “confirmed that Yoder was the only congressman who swam nude,” according to the paper.

Grimm, a former FBI agent, has been the subject of plenty of attention from federal authorities over the past year. On Friday, one of Grimm’s top fundraisers was arrested for allegedly lying about the source of a loan on immigration documents. That man, an Israeli named Ofer Biton, traveled around the New York area with Grimm in 2010 to raise money for his congressional campaign. At least four of Grimm’s 2010 campaign workers have been questioned by the FBI. Federal prosecutors have also interviewed several donors, according to the New York Times.

WEINER DROPPED FBI DIME ON GRIMM FUNDRAISING
http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dailypolitics/2012/03/weiner-dropped-fbi-dime-on-grimm-fundraising

Months before the implosion of his own political career in a sexting scandal, then-Rep. Anthony Weiner dropped a dime on Michael Grimm with the FBI about allegations of trying to extort donations from an influential rabbi and threatening him in the process.

Excerpts:

<<”The complaint at the time was that Grimm had mentioned that he was a former FBI agent and let the rabbi know, through his interpreter and staff, that he could help the congregation, or make life tougher for them, and that he was a good person to have as a friend, not an enemy,” the same law enforcement source said.>>

<<In 2008, Grimm urged a federal judge to spare Thomas Kontogiannis , a New York-based developer with three bribery-related convictions, from serving a day in prison.>>

<<And in August Grimm had done business with Carlos Luquis, a fellow ex-FBI agent who served time for his role in a $2 million scam.>>

<<Michael Grimm, U.S Congressman (R) NY, former FBI. A man of many dubious hats.>>

***Note: Thomas Kontogiannis mentioned above is in prison because he was involved in the CIA Pimps Sextortion schemes with Duke Cunningham who is also in prison. More of now deceased DC madam Palfrey’s clients & cohorts.
