Tierney adamant: 'It was her family's stuff'
Gloucester Times ^ | Oct 9, 2010 | Matthew K. Roy

"His campaign under siege after his wife's admission this week to falsifying federal tax returns, Congressman John Tierney said Friday he knew very little about her management of a bank account full of illegal gambling profits.

"I couldn't tell you if there was $5 going through there or $500. It was her family's stuff," he said."

"The kids, all teenagers, were a "handful." Their mother was also away in Florida receiving treatment for health issues. Besides Patrice, a young au pair was there for the kids.

"She was part of the problem," Tierney said of the au pair. "She wasn't doing her job. The kids were ruling the roost."

In August, Eremian and Patrice Tierney's other brother, Daniel, were indicted on charges that included racketeering, money laundering and operating an illegal gambling business. Robert Eremian is currently a federal fugitive."

“It’s the au pair’s fault”

I bet the au pair is a Republican! That would explain everything, unless she’s a Bush relative.

Is the au pair legal? Often times, au pairs are girls from Europe here in a student or tourist visa, and are not necessarily legal to work.

Not surprisingly, Tierney has potentially shot himself in the foot by mentioning this troublesome au pair. A reporter could track her down and get the au pair to talk it could get uglier for Tierney.

That was my thought, too. This jerk made $7 million gambling in Antigua?

Either he’s the Albert Einstein of gambling, or he owns his own casino and fleeces the tourists, or this is a money laundering scheme involved in corrupt activities of some kind. Drug smuggling, political payoffs maybe.

How much you wanna bet that it was not gambling, but a brother-in-law money laundering for some corrupt congressman’s bribery/extortion operation.

That's not something I'd bet against. Besides, I know something about probability and the law of large numbers. $7 million gain in any form of multi-trial gambling is more improbable as Hilary Clinton's commodity trading record.

I agree with you Jim, people loose that kind of money gambling, they do not make seven million playing black jack or the wheel.

Major money laundering operation, as you say, bribes,or kick backs, to which I will add drug profits in doing business with the Mexican drug cartels out of Arizona.(LOL:Why do you think Obama wants them there?)

The FBI should be on Tierny like flies on doggy doo.But no,Obama and Holder are running interference.

This is the way fascism works, thugs legitimized by the vote.

Lemme see here. Mrs. Bush wore a borrowed dress to an event and it was Bush's fault. Pres. Bush was given incorrect information about he Iraq nuclear program and it was his fault. A bunch of crazy nut cases flew several planes in to buildings and into the ground in Pennsylvania and that was Bush's fault.

Something just doesn't compute here.
