He's now running for congress in the sixth district which is basically the North Shore against John pockets Tierney is like column. And as you probably know John Tierney is his wife Esther Padilla short the stretch in jail and prison last last year. 40 basically helping or racketeer Brothers filed false returns and for moving eight million dollars to borrow. Her bank accounts buying a helicopter among other things John Tierney says he knows nothing about it. Well anyway yesterday. One of the brought one of the Brothers is on the -- -- out in the Caribbean -- a sunny place for shady people but the other brother -- a re Meehan was sentenced to three years in prison yesterday. And after he was sentenced the key came out into the Eden hall the federal courthouse and it was a question by Errol -- laurel sweet. And he basically just won't lead in to -- John Tierney Andy said that. That that Tierney is the biggest liar or in the world furious said that he knew nothing about the gambling operations he knew nothing about his wife having eight million dollars of -- money in your account. He knew nothing about her run taking 223000. Dollars out of the account for self from the non filing income taxes about it. You knew nothing about that helicopter he knew nothing about the Volkswagen that she bought. And helps you keep the helicopter -- -- -- knows more about -- helicopter than I do but he know -- here's a quote from -- -- who was who began his three year prison sentence today for racketeering. He know everything that was going on in my family for years she's out with a book keys in Fenway Park. He's the biggest liar in the world. Rich to say. I'm. I'm I'm OK but I am probably not blown as well as you wore that this is this is a good break -- campaign. Tell you what there have been so many twists and turns. In this case so far. That have come through and it did you don't know what's gonna happen next and yet there was obviously a big surprise. I. Well this account that you know. Congressman's wife was basically the bookkeeper for -- gambling operators and the. Racketeering enterprise I preferred column. -- And there was a account in Salem and choose briefly. Spreading trucks under the accomplishes -- by helicopter. With half a million dollars. To -- a you know we are hearing actually know what she did because most valid we always Fargo was from the trial on November. Right but they don't nobody is really a reporter has really gone through the couple. Chopper the choppers now then an anti right is that it's down it's down with the other brother Robert -- yet because you -- we're so it is. And and a fugitive French tourists. But you know these. I gotta tell him -- you know we're going around the district and as you know most people -- do not believe that he could not have known what was going on and I think. Yesterday -- You know arabians common purpose of the court house confirmed what lot of people with very -- through. And that is that you know there's no way when your father lost you know these two brother in laws here. Stepped on in your life for all working for offshore gambling operations. You know -- is that you're -- was quite a wireless. You all of activities taking place around humans have no -- here you know. Richard I think roulette seriously I think you can call racketeering enterprise I think that's what they call traditionally in the indictment says racketeering enterprise -- -- the federal government alchemy or optical gambling operation makes it sound like you know somebody's you know got some kind of pool going for the NCAA tournament you know. Mean this was that this guy this guy Iranian head to war forfeit eight million closed eight million box. The his co defendant had to forfeit 24. Million bucks. -- unite here the breath and scope of what they were up to. You know it's -- -- -- that Israel -- my blog. And yet the and yet the it and today by the way I am sure you know this but you know after after we broke the story last night in the in The Herald on the web -- this morning when he showed he had to show up to what -- -- -- the US marshals to want. Did -- would be assigned to a prison. He he he was having his last cigarette and there reporters all the TV stations were there and they asked him to while. 221 on. Elaborate on what it said that the yesterday and he -- I want -- gonna say anything more -- what I said yesterday is absolutely true. So I you know our -- so he he he had a night to think this over and you -- wonder whether he was you know shouldn't have said this about his sister and his brother in law and and he stood by his statements. If you follow this truck you know little hole but I go all the way through during the trial -- When mrs. Kennedy was called to testify. You became hostile witness who's supposed to be the government would refuse to cooperate with the government. Going there after a vote you know what her husband -- congressman in the morning -- She -- -- privilege was so obviously you know there's a lot that we don't know at this point. And it's certainly yesterday. There review a lot of a lot more questions. Right if I mean if if he hadn't I mean it's if he was clean if you look clean I mean she she would naturally want to war make it. Clear to all the constituents and and not to mention everybody in the court. But he didn't have anything to do what the but instead she basically took the the equivalent of the Fifth Amendment. And you know what they mean it isn't just that is congressman is also an attorney so I mean you know I would imagine it so that. You know here and if he would be you know it wasn't involved and involved with the fact that he has acknowledged that it was going on is obviously -- problem being a lawyer themselves. Yeah an -- by I ask people -- I'm sure you do -- out on the campaign trail but you know just ask yourself is if your. If your spouse. Was dealing with these sums of money. Would you know it or would you not. We're gonna tell you you know she distributed a lot of money but should also distributed about 235000. Dollars according to the governor government. To herself -- though. You know I would probably noticed you know I think most. You know. Couple you know and and maybe one of them doesn't finances but you probably noticed when you are sort of in the drive. You know and for -- to what most people around they would get money for that. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Income taxes on 235000. And what all the trouble Charles Rangel got into for not paying taxes on 75 apps. Well it's interesting during the prior oh that did come up in those questions whether or not -- paid in comparison not because she's claimed. That they were gifts. The difference there CA. Services. But the gifts that the attacks against this what ten or 121000 box right. Over. And the other thing too was I mean what you think about I said this my column today you know I mean. He always. Tierney makes a good 11179000. I think you're currently is for congressman 179000. Dollars that's a good -- to go -- But you can't thwart a helicopter. On 170 it would cost -- when it costs 500 grand not even a second -- a -- Everybody is. I hunt what did you do today all -- bottom no helicopter. What I don't know I think she'll but the interesting thing though if you've been following this is that. Billy claimed that he didn't know anything about what was going on buses waiters it was brother was on the front page of the New York Times basically saying like gambling operations down here and Antigua they -- their catch me down here there's somebody in the fairway -- You would thank were called up and they -- prevalent -- You know front page of the New York Times and then later he went down -- -- -- 2009 and had dinner. Right break in that -- not keep in mind -- again that the gambling had quoted the former Chinese embassy. So it is sitting there. You know having. According to the witnesses in the -- -- if you go look. Witnesses basically said he was sitting there having dinner and that was TV sat around and sporting events on. And nor are sixteen people answering the phones taking about colon problem and -- with its -- definitely calls into question. -- his judgment. For being there and you know. And as I I think the people of the district you know obviously don't believe them they definitely deserve better. What are we ask Bob and Bob while white do you have -- -- -- -- -- this is an interest thing dining room why do you have sixteen flat screen fifty inch the color TVs in here. What are these twenty people going answering the phones. You know and and they and you got to keep in mind that the brother -- -- caught doing this and Winfield worm farm right his host was greeted. You know operational shut down here and somehow he was a lot of to go to Antigua and that the whole thing up again. You know that doesn't make it. And this guy alliance was thought was all over the city of Boston including on the Red Line carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars collecting from. I'm losing backs. They you know before any of this broke earlier I think if -- members last week I was on your show on. You know when the judge ordered the brother forfeit the seven point seven million in the lions don't work -- -- point four million. I came -- you know the next day and said well why shouldn't the congressmen have to give -- Story which charities the money you know those animals likely see -- from this because they you know he's known for two years word came from. And don't understand why you know knowing that. That you wanna hang -- where it's just an hour and -- and he became very indignant -- I -- -- -- -- -- -- attack. Why they should you were using her as a punching bag I have always that I was you know that vote total overheated rhetoric on -- He was hiding behind his wife from you know the bottom line is is that he hasn't really answered any of the questions. Is in hiding for last two years when this comes and it becomes it's possible but it becomes very indignant about it. But you know I think yesterday it was as probable are coming out with this statement but he is mechanic confirms what most people already. He -- -- any you know thing is he won't even issue was statement in itself you won't even come on face the cameras -- or at least issue a statement -- on May mean he he has say his spokeswoman issued the statement last night and then put up Patrice -- It shocks. And saddens me. To learn the my brother which say something so utterly false. Please I mean does it. And this guy I mean you don't what does he what reason to Seattle I mean this guy he's he's lost eight million box. He's got a fifteen year old -- apparently who's a real good baseball player down Boca. And I he's not gonna see the kids for two and a half three years they didn't have any family members in the court and easy use and admitted alcoholic. I mean he's he's got no particular reason why here I mean he's kind of like down two -- It down and down not down on his lock. Well exactly and you know again. You know I think he confirmed that a lot of people. Have been talking. Do you handle this in the campaigned on me and I mean I know you don't talk going around you know talking to people one on one you can disgusted but I mean how are you gonna run ads with this you also use you don't appear to be beating up. Beating up -- We are I think enough people up in the district know about it you know from planning on. Talking about you know the economy in the debt and you know problems in Washington but I do think most people feel disconnected from what's. You know they're they're elected officials in Washington this is a perfect example of why they feel that way. So just like -- -- I go around and just talk to people what the issues so gonna make up their own decisions and decisions about that. And someone told me today that he I guess during the Obama care -- vote two years ago that he he was confronted by an older woman somewhere on -- -- when the district and he started yelling at her for questioning his. His decision to vote for Obama care. He's done that actually quite a few people and government to you know isn't somebody's system Watson you probably. You know very symbolic of the type -- Washington politician that knows better than everybody else. And that's all he's -- a lot of interaction like. With people in the district and I I do think right now we do these people down there -- awards -- Really represent the carrier and not enough servers are -- agenda and he's been down there voting 99% of the time what if people OC. And you know you are really doing it it's proper presenting the district and ultimately that will be the thing. Yeah of course it's right there the if people want a war get involved with your campaign what your web address -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- TI SE -- Okay great rich thanks for being whether send you know you're. Way if only they can catch Robert you know you can get another probably the other brother you can get a whole -- you get another trial lot of us. The -- Or. Thanks that's rich to say the former state senator candidate for lieutenant governor is running against John via pockets here and the it's just. This is unbelievable stories that today and I and I I truly believe this. Any other state in the union it's like Grammy Award any other state in the union Warren would be gone. And any other state in the union that tyranny would be on I mean how can how can this I mean did these these guys are racketeers. You know maybe they're not you know winter hill guys you know what machine guns but -- the the they're bureau organized criminals. And and they -- laundering money through their sister who is -- wife and -- he call eight million box. -- he claims he doesn't know anything about it. And she took 235000. And did appear she didn't pay taxes. What happened to you warming if we didn't pay too wondered if we didn't pay taxes on 235000. Well what -- Rangel he almost got run out of congress.
