Grimm May Not Get Jail Time

Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) “may not spend a day behind bars even if he pleads guilty Tuesday to a federal tax-evasion charge as expected,” the Staten Island Advance reports.

“Grimm’s lack of criminal history, his military service and years of service as an FBI agent should weigh in his favor, said experts.”

Meanwhile, The Hill reports that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is “turning the heat up” on Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), urging him to call for Grimm’s resignation.
