  WASHINGTON -- Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y., surrendered Monday to federal
authorities in New York
  to face criminal charges.

  Grimm, 44, was taken into custody after turning himself in to FBI agents in Manhattan. Brooklyn
  U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch scheduled a news conference at 11 a.m. ET to formally announce the
  charges against the former FBI agent. His lawyer, William McGinley, said Friday that the U.S.
  attorney "disclosed its intent to file criminal charges" against the lawmaker.

  Grimm has acknowledged that he received $250,000 to $300,000 in campaign donations from followers
  of Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, an Israeli rabbi. Some of Pinto's followers in New
York have said they
  made tens of thousands of dollars in illegal campaign contributions to Grimm, including gifts
  passed through straw donors.

  Ofer Biton, the businessman who served as Grimm's liaison to Pinto's congregation, pleaded guilty
  in August to an immigration fraud charge. Diana Durand, a woman had been romantically involved
  with the congressman, was charged Friday of using straw donors to make illegal campaign
  contributions and for making false statements to the FBI. Durand's lawyer said she would plead
  not guilty.

  McGinley said Friday the government has pursued "a politically driven vendetta" against Grimm,
  who has said he has done nothing wrong. "When the dust settles, he will be vindicated," McGinley
  said in his statement.

  Grimm made national headlines in January when he threatened a TV reporter on
camera who attempted
  to ask him about the long-running federal investigation. Grimm later apologized to NY1 reporter
  Michael Scotto.

  Grimm represents a swing district based on Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn. President Obama
  won New York's 11th Congressional District in 2012 with 52% of the vote.

from NY1 over a
  balcony in the US Capitol, after the State of the Union address. The reporter had asked Grimm
  about campaign finance allegations. (Jan. 29) AP

     Guh up the effbomb down wif yr bad self; seriously.  That means 'shut
     the effbomb up, in the parlance of the first child I raised from birth
     on . . .  I recommend it because my patience with people that are only
     interested in passing judgement and making pointless jabs without
     knowing the exact facts about what they're dealing with is waning.
     Consider yrself warned.
