He’s back.
Former Republican Congressmember
Michael Grimm,
who pleaded guilty to tax evasion and
other federal charges nearly three
years ago, has his sights set on his old
seat.
Grimm – who got considerably
less than the sentence prescribed by
federal sentencing guidelines, 18 to 24
months — was released seven months
into his eight-month sentence in May
of last year, under the condition that
he continue the rest of it under house
arrest.
U.S. District Judge Pamela Chen –
who sentenced Grimm in July, 2015
– also served the ex-pol a year’s probation
and 200 hours of community
service.
Before his guilty plea the December
prior, Grimm — who represented
Staten Island and portions of Brooklyn
from 2011 until early January,
2015, and had just won reelection to a
third term — faced a 20-count federal
indictment, including multiple counts
of mail fraud, wire fraud, perjury, one
count of conspiring to defraud the
United States, one count of impeding
the Internal Revenue Service, one
count of health care fraud, one count
of engaging in a pattern or practice
of hiring and continuing to employ
unauthorized aliens, and one count
of obstructing an official proceeding.
All the charges arose out of a business
Grimm owned before being elected
to Congress called Healthalicious,
a small fast food eatery in Manhattan.
He was also charged with under-reporting
income at the restaurant by
over $1 million, and paying employees
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
wages “off the books.”
Grimm’s lawyers had asked the
court to go easy on him, and spare
him jail time; prosecutors, on the
other hand, had requested a 30-month
sentence.
At his sentencing, the former Bay
Ridge elected apologized for his
transgression, saying that he had,
“made bad decisions that I’ll regret for
the rest of my life,” because he feared
failing.
Grimm echoed those sentiments
on Sunday, October 1 while officially
announcing his run to a crowd of
supporters in New Dorp, Staten Island,
adding that the “way we all move forward”
is with his reelection.
“I believe that I will not be judged by
my transgressions but how I rebound
in spite of them,” he said. “I have a lot to
offer and I know that my leadership is
still sorely needed right here in Staten
Island, in Brooklyn and in Washington
where the swamp still needs to be
drained."
Of his resume, the former pol told a
parking lot full of friends, family and
former constituents that, "Together,
we moved mountains. We defied all
the odds. We went to Washington in
2011 and we literally turned it upside
down. Business as usual wasn’t happening
on our watch.”
Nor will it, if he returns, Grimm
pledged, crediting his supporters —
and the grace of God — for his second
coming.
“I almost lost my faith completely,”
he admitted. “I was angry. I kept
asking God, ‘How could this happen
to me after almost 20 years of service
– most of which was in harm’s
way?’ And though I’m sure I’ll never
know the full answer, I do know that
I’m a better, stronger well-rounded
human being for having survived it
all.”
Grimm began serving his sentence
in September of last year. The seat he
left vacant was filled by current Congressmember
Dan Donovan, who was
elected to serve the 11th C.D. in a May,
2015 special election.
Grimm will face off against Donovan
– who, the hopeful said Sunday
“doesn’t get up to bat” but instead
“rides the bench” – in what is sure to
be a heated primary election for the
Republican nod in 2018.
"My opponent's a nice guy, right?
A bit of a sweetheart. But let me tell
you something: He's never going to
get anything done, not ever," Grimm
said. "And in Washington, nice guys
finish last.
“The truth is, he only became your
congressman because it fell in his lap.”
As of publication time, Donovan's
campaign had not responded to a
request for comment.
