Machinations abound as GOP Rep. Michael Grimm looks to weather indictment storm

Tom Wrobleski

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Hold the fort, or abandon ship?

That was the choice that Republicans on Staten Island and in Washington, D.C., struggled with in the wake of a 20-count indictment filed against Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn).

And for the most part, it seems that Republicans will stand with Grimm.

Or at least they won’t abandon him.
