Wife says Alan Grayson shoved her during domestic incident
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 3/4/14 | Jeff Weiner

Posted on 03/04/2014 2:51:38 PM PST by ruralvoter

A judge has granted a temporary protective injunction against U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, after his wife filed paperwork accusing the Orlando congressman of shoving and injuring her during an incident this weekend.

Lolita Grayson's petition for the injunction, dated Monday, says her husband pushed her against a door, causing her to fall to the ground, during a confrontation Saturday at their home on Oak Park Road, near Windermere. /snip

After she refused, retrieved his mail and asked him to leave, Alan Grayson "then deliberately and with force pushed [Lolita Grayson] very hard against the front door, causing [her] to fall to the ground as a result," the petition states.

She told her husband not to touch her, then pushed him in the face and kneed him in the stomach "in order to protect and defend herself," before calling 911, her petition says.

As she was talking to the operator, Alan Grayson told his wife, in the presence of their children, that she "would receive nothing" in their divorce and would be left "in the gutter," the petition states.

Sorry. If there are no bruises, cuts, etc., it didn’t happen.

Such a claim requires evidence, not just “he said, she said”.

Alan Grayson, if he had his way, would put people in concentration camps.

I've seen this type of person before, they're called kapos (re: George Soros).

Democratic congressman’s estranged wife gets restraining order after alleged ‘domestic violence battery’ incident – and she claims he beat their children!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2573389/Democratic-congress mans-estranged-wife-gets-restraining-order-alleged-domestic-violence-battery-incident-claims-beat-children.html#ixzz2v2zwwont

Lolita Grayson’s sworn complaint says the congressman ‘showed up, unannounced’ as she was preparing to take the two young children to a play date and asked to speak with her inside their house.

When she refused, according to a sheriff’s office document, he ‘deliberately and with force pushed [Lolita] very hard against the front door, causing [her] to fall to the ground as a result.’

After telling her husband not to touch her, Lolita said, she pushed him in the face and struck him in the stomach with her knee ‘in order to protect and defend herself,’ then called 911.

She also alleges that ‘from time to time’ in the past, the congressman ‘has battered [her] and the parties’ minor children’ in incidents that did not lead her to file for injunctions from the courts.

The result, she claims, is that his ‘history of violence’ toward her has made her fear for her safety.

The Sentinel reported that the congressman’s wife filed for divorce two months ago, and that her attorneys filed photos showing ‘large bruises to her left leg and left shoulder.’

I don’t believe a word of this. Grayson is obviously looking to obtain higher office in the Democrat party so he and Lolita have manufactured this rough up in order to enhance his bona fides.

I read where he was taken for millions on some scheme. I thought that was great.

Pretty convenient for him that this news came out just as it became obvious to him that he's going to be going through divorce proceedings. I'm skeptical.

Swagger courses through Grayson’s every word, delivered in the accent of his Bronx upbringing and with the exacting nature of a lawyer who first made his name taking on — and taking down — contractors and war profiteers in Iraq.

“I don’t need the job for income or satisfaction,” said Grayson, sitting on a bench outside the House chamber in between votes. “The truth is, it’s really a hardship. I took an enormous pay cut to take the job. Every week, I leave five young children and my wife to come up here.

“I don’t owe anything to anyone here. I don’t owe anything to lobbyists. I don’t owe anything to leadership. The only thing I owe to anybody is the well-being of 800,000 people who depend on me.”

This spring Grayson played tough with President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by holding up his vote for a global-warming bill until he was promised a $50 million hurricane research center that some in Central Florida say is wasteful, a brazen move for any lawmaker, let alone a rookie.

• • •

Grayson’s life story has the makings of a Horatio Alger novel. He grew up in a cramped Bronx tenement, the asthma-inflicted son of public school educators. Sickness and death are common themes.

As a boy, a bully threw him under a moving bus but he pulled himself free just in time. In Sri Lanka in 1984, he sat under a 2,200-year-old tree, a sacred Buddhist site, where guerrillas later slaughtered 200 people. He used to wake up in the middle of the night covered in his own blood, for no apparent reason. He was nearly killed in a car accident.

You wonder if he’s putting you on, but he does not flinch. “I seem to have nine lives,” Grayson said. “I’ve given a lot of thought to what I wanted to do in life.”

Grayson got into Harvard and to cover expenses worked as a night watchman and cleaned toilets. He finished in three years, “and pretty close to the top of my class.” He went on to work as an economist but returned to Harvard for a law degree and master’s in public policy. Took him four years. “And I was working at the time.” Then, he said, he went on to work for some of the titans of the legal field — Ginsberg, Bork, Scalia.

In 1990, Grayson and a college friend rented space over a funeral home in the Bronx and founded IDT Corp., a telecommunications company. Grayson did not stay long but made a fortune and said he invested smartly in airlines and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Today he has a net worth of $31 million, according to financial disclosure forms, though he lost $34 million in a Ponzi investment scheme this year.

Grayson met his first wife at a Halloween party in Boulder in the early 1980s. He dressed as a Catholic priest (he’s Jewish). He remarried in 1990 and he and his wife, Lolita, have five children under age 15, all with names beginning with ‘S:’ Skye, Star, Sage and twins Storm and Stone. They live not far from Disney World.

Pics are worth a thousand words. He is done. The aid will go down also if he tries to explain away the bruises.

And to think a woman was sexually attracted to THAT-—even enough to marry him.

I wonder if she was attracted to him before he had all that money that he recently lost?

Well, that's not something you see every day.

if the republicans were smart, they would have someone at every event asking him when he’s going to stop beating his wife?

Is it that a spouse cannot be compelled to testify against the other or is it that they cannot testify at all? Yon braying Grayson may rue the day he got the missus po’ed.

Grayson didn’t even have the decency to wait for Jim Moran to leave Congress before taking over his spot as head cowardly bully.

I just read this in Grayson’s Wikipedia page:

“On November 6, 2012, Grayson defeated Todd Long 63%-37% to return to Congress after a one-term absence. He described his victory as “the biggest comeback in the history of the U.S. House of Representatives.”[40] Although the two districts had different boundaries, Grayson claimed the House historian had told him that the shift from a 56%-38% loss in 2010 to a 63%-37% victory in 2012 was the biggest comeback in congressional history.[41]”

Now, it’s clearly stupid for Grayson to claim he made such a great comeback when he merely moved to a district that was far more Democrat than his prior district (and he faced a Republican with no money and no shot at winning). But is it true that no U.S. Representative who lost in one election and won in the next election ever has had a percentage-margin swing as high as Grayson’s 44% (from losing by 18% to winning by 26%)? There definitely have been bigger swings by members who won both elections (say, winning by 10% one election and by 90% the next one when he didn’t get a major-party challenger).
