Desperate to raise money in the weeks before his first run for Congress, Michael Grimm e-mailed an ally in a bold bid to score large, and likely illegal, donations.

He asked for $10,000 donations from six people, when the legal limit for individual contributions is $2,400.

“We have very little time, as I need to start collecting checks as soon as today or tomorrow,” Grimm wrote in the Oct. 18, 2010, missive to Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto’s organization. “I think that if the Rabbi calls the six people and asks them to each write one check for the $10,000, then we can finish this in the next few days.”

I know it is the post but it is an explosive story.

1. Wow That is as Bizzare as it is Crazy! I wonder what made Pinto come forward to the fed?

Looks like good news for Recchia though.
