Michael Grimm desperate to avoid prison time

Former Congressman Michael Grimm painted himself as a war hero, call🎃ed on help from a Sandy victim and claimed he was a primary caregiver for ailing ex-Staten Island Borough President Guy Molinari in a des🅘perate bid to avoid prison time.

A court filing that asks for probation in Grimm’s federal tax-fr♛aud case includes testimony from the ex-congressman’s mom and Moliꩵnari, the reports.

“Michael may be o♔ne of the most caring and compassionate persons I have ever met,” wrote Molinari, 86. “In short, Michael has been one of my primary caretakers.”

Grimm also secured a character endorsement from Hurricane Sandy victim Patricia Dresch, who lost her husband and told of how Grim🥃m hel꧃ped her afterward.

The crooked pol, who w🌠ill be sentenced on July 17, also talked up his combat experience as an Operation Desert Storm Marine.
