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 in Antigua.
Patrice Tierney, 59, who is married to the Salem Democrat, is charged with four counts of aiding and abetting the filing of false tax returns by her brother, Robert Eremian, of St. John’s, Antigua.

RE: illegal gambling profits
What the heck is illegal about making money in gambling?
Isn’t gambling legal?

Rat? yes. Amazing, but it’s in the second paragraph.
The real question is was her brother that good of gambler, or was this really a pay off to the congressman?
The congressman was COMPLETELY ignorant of all this of course.
Doesn’t matter, he’ll get re-elected. That district is high up on the politically retarded scale.
She in Jail next to Mrs. Conyers?
There's an interesting point for investigation.
Given that it’s from Mass., it’s a purely rhetorical question.
"Prosecutors say Patrice Tierney "engaged in a conscious course of deliberate ignorance regarding the true nature of Eremian's income and Eremian's ownership of Sports Offshore.
"John Tierney and the former Patrice Chew of Marblehead were married in April of 1997 at a small private event in Salem. Patrice Tierney has three children from her first marriage."
Yes, for those not from the state, all 10 Representatives are Dems at the moment. That could change including (hopefully)
Republican challengers:
GUNN 1st Dist v. Olver
HUDAK 6th Dist v. Tierney
BIELAT 4th Dist v. Frank
PERRY 10th Dist. v. Keating (open; was Delahunt-D)
GOLNIK 5th Dist. v. Tsongas
etc
Charley Manning is discussing this on his show right now.

Sounds more like he wasn’t declaring the money & paying taxes on it.
