Maybe he knew, maybe he didn't, but I couldn't tell you what my 4 brothers-in-law are up to. If I became suspicious of illegal gambling activities on their part, I doubt that I would turn them in. If they were robbing or killing people, that would be a different story. The Eremians put Tierney in a tough spot either way. If he was lying when he said that he didn't know, he won't be the 1st or the last politician to lie. Ultimately the voters in his district will have the final say on his credibility.

If your wife was receiving large checks in the mail from your brother in law (as she was) you sure as hell would know what was going on.

What I safely conclude at this point is that the Congressman married into a bad family. Otherwise, though, I need more evidence to make additional conclusions. I'd like to see what proof the Eremians have to back up their charges. I would also like to hear from federal prosecutors regarding whatever pertinent information they may have. [NEW PARAGRAPH] Tisei is playing this issue like any good pol. However, I'd like to see credible evidence before I draw any firm conclusions.

You would know what was going on, or that SOMETHING was going on, if all of a sudden there was an extra 7 or 8 million in your joint checking account and your wife is marginally employed, don't you think? Anyone who votes for Tierney is just a hopeless ideological fool. He's corrupt and mediocre.

Come November 6 please God, Bay State voters will reject Tierney and the Professor based on the obvious facts they are corrupt.
