Breaking: Dem Rep's Wife Pleads Guilty to Aiding-Abetting & Filing False Tax Forms; Faces Up to 6 Months in Prison (Video)

Another crook…
Patrice Tierney, the wife of Rep. John F. Tierney (D-MA) pleaded guilty this morning to four counts of aiding and abetting the filing of false federal tax returns for the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Maybe she’ll share a cell with Monica Conyers?
The Boston Herald reported:
The wife of Democratic incumbent Congressman John F. Tierney pleaded guilty today to charges she helped cover up her brother’s $7 million ownership stake in a Caribbean gambling operation by falsifying his federal tax returns.
With her husband by her side – and former U.S. Attorney Donald K. Stern heading up her defense – custom jewelry designer Patrice Tierney, 59, appeared before U.S. District Court Judge William G. Young and copped to four counts of aiding and abetting the filing of false federal tax returns for the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
“I take full responsibility for what my part in this was,” said a soft-spoken and refined Patrice Tierney. She told the court she is being treated for depression and anxiety.
Prosecuters will recommend that she spend three months on house arrest followed by two years of probation when U.S. District Court Judge William G. Young sentences her on Jan. 13. Young, however, could sentence Patrice Tierney to up to six months in prison.
She’s not the only crook…
Monica Conyers, the wife of Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) is serving time at Alderson Federal Prison Camp in West Virginia.

Something is wrong with the article above. I can’t quite put my finger on it…
Oh, there it is. They mention the party affiliation of the criminal, and it ISN’T Republican.
dnb commented:
Lovely way for the Boston Herald to tilt the story, “soft-spoken and refined” and “being treated for depression and anxiety.” It’s becoming like a treasure hunt to uncover the hidden assets of the well to do. Hope she gets the full six months. I wonder how many hurting people those taxes may have aided?
Rock commented:
Lord these elitist in DC really are having a problem with sharing the wealth. Oh I forgot just us common folks are expected to do that, while they dictate and manage who gets what. Then again we have a tax cheat telling the rest us to pay our taxes. Nothing here folks keep moving.

“Being treated for depression and anxiety…”
Really? Like a lot of the millions of out of work Americans suffering due to policies and laws your husband supports and voted for? You mean like that?
Forgive me if I fail to shed a bitter tear for your plight.

She didn’t get a waiver on jail time?
Timmy G. did.
Funny how the liberal “fairness” works.
Noah commented:
Hahahahaha.. is her Husband up for re-election I think this might help him.. lol.
Granny commented:
If she was the wife of a Republican they would be burying her under the jail for decades to come.
Kevin P commented:
There is no justice… she did this for four years (that we know of) and the prosecutors – not the defense, but the PROSECUTORS – are recommending 3 months of house arrest and 2 years probation?!?!?!
PLEASE!
How much HARD time would YOU or I be doing for this crime???

Madam Speaker, Pelosi, didn’t drain the swamp, she’s in it up to her botoxed eyeballs.

The real crime here is that the corrupt establishment only imposed a chump change penalty of $2,500 , not even a slap on the wrist , for laundering $7,000,000 in organized crime gambling money through the wife of a sitting congressman. How much of this illegal cash was used as a revolving line of credit to finance the campaign of DEMOCRAT John F Tierney ? Amazing what the name “John F ” does for a person in Mass. I Wonder if he changed his name for political purposes.
donh commented:
“Faces up to 6 months in prison” should read . ” Hides down to 3 months of watching TV at home” . Patrice is not “facing up” to any form of credible justice. Typical establishment double standard.

Read where your monies are going – should make people’s blood boil.

This does not sound like the innocent act of a depressed woman. It sounds like willful perversion of the US tax code for the profit of a relative.
Her sentance sounds like a rehab assignment for a budding Hollywood drug addict.
Justice has not been served.

That’s OK. We’ve also got a candidate for State Auditor (no less!) who has been taking a tax break for your primary residence on 2 houses! She claims that there is nothing wrong with this. Kind of redefines the term “Primary” if you can have more than one, no? Welcome to Massachusetts politics.
Fresh Air commented:
Don’t forget about Jan Schakowsky’s husband, the convicted check-kiter. There’s a lot of intra-marriage corruption in the Mediacrat party.
Oldpuppymax commented:
Apparently the judge doesn’t know Tierney is a democrat. After all, dems are not REQUIRED to pay taxes at ALL….. unless caught!
Googy commented:

Trust me, its Mass. If it was some poor slob who forgot to pay his excise tax bill it would cost him that much.

Didn’t you know the DNC doesn’t allow you to run for office unless you’ve spent three to five in the pen for grand theft?
