"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."

OMG
Is this for real ?
I am laughing my behind off over here !
Some people have no shame.
Now, everybody lets keep it secret that Tierney is a “dimmacrat”.....from the witchcraft capitol of the world...
Is this for real ?
I am laughing my behind off over here !
“au pair-gate”
“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.
-PJ
Is the au pair a legal immigrant?
Does he pay her SS, medicare and income taxes?
Just asking...........
US Reps, MA
1: Olver-D
2: Neal-D
3: McGovern-D
4: Frank-D
5: Tsongas-D
6: Tierney-D
7: Markey-D
8: Capuano-D
9: Lynch-D
10: Delahunt-D
Hopefully some of those will be changing soon.
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.
Is the au pair legal?
It’s the $8,000,000 question
...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...
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.
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.
Make “as” than. Typo correction.
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.

Something just doesn't compute here.
LOL! Yup, he’s in on the take. Probably along with Barney Frank.
“au pair-gate”
Still LMAO !!!!!
I laugh every day - then cry.
Visit my profile and you’ll know why.
It helps if you play the theme from the Godfather while viewing.
