The wife of US Representative John F. Tierney is poised to plead guilty tomorrow to federal tax charges for managing a bank account that her brother allegedly used to deposit millions of dollars in illegal gambling profits he raked in from an offshore sports betting operation based in Antigua.
Federal prosecutors filed documents that were unsealed today in US District Court in Boston charging Patrice Tierney, 59, who is married to the Salem Democrat, with four counts of aiding and abetting the filing of false tax returns by her brother, Robert Eremian, of St. John's Antigua

I’m wondering if John Kerry’s boat makes it down that way on occasion?
As if that would surprise anyone.
I dunno about that, the 6th has been moved from a Safe Dem seat just “likely Dem” by realpolitics.com
Folks are paying attention these days. They’re angry.
I loved the part about voters seperating spouse activity from candidate.
Ofcourse that doesn’t apply to Whitman,( hubby gave SSA letter to maid to take care of).
Good point Marty.
Julie - Tierney & Hudak are scheduled for a debate Thursday night, 8PM on FOX25.
Who’s keeping the list.
They can always use something like Nancy Pelosi bragging about ETHICAL the Democrats are, and then pictures and statements about Charley Rangel, this person, as well as the other Congress Critters who have ETHICAL problems (such as the Congress Critter from Dallas who gave away Scholarships to Family).
There is also the Congress Critter from California with Corruption about a bank and her husband...
The GOP has great stuff for Commericals this year -- they should take advantage of it...
I live in the district. Before the wife was caught cashing checks for her brother, Tierney was in for a fight. Scott Brown did very well here in Jan. Some towns I couldn’t believe he won. Hudak has more signs than Tierney does. This district was the last one in MA to have a GOP rep(Peter Torkildson).
“The GOP has great stuff for Commericals this year — they should take advantage of it...”
If they don’t I really question if they deserve our votes.
How many people know that Detroit Congressman JOhn Conyers’ (D) wife just went to federal prison ? He refused to pay her legal fees and she ended up with a public defender...hmm.
I agree GQ - this could put Hudak over the top - they’re debating Thurs on FOX25!!!!
Not this year.
There would be huge headlines in the NYT & The Globe if a Republican Congressman’s wife went to jail.
It would be breaking news on CNN & MSNBC!
On WBZ radio now!
Let’s see.......
Delahunt doesn’t run because of serial murderer Amy Bishop, then there’s tax cheat John Kerry, Fannie Freddie & Frank, John Tierney’s tax cheating wife............
GQ - Howie will be great tomorrow!
Aside from the CA operation and wife’s money
laundering, isn’t online gambling legal in Antigua ?
so does hudak have a real chance? Is ocare popular in the district?
Maybe scott brown can endorse and support here.
