Who do you believe?

Yesterday Congressman John Tierney's brother-in-law, Daniel Eremian, announced that Congressman Tierney knew all about the gambling ring. That doesn't match what the Congressman has been saying about this scandal. We have a he said, he said situation, so who should we believe?

Erermian is a tarnished man who is going to jail for 3 years, so his word might be questionable. The problem for the Congressman are his own statements. For example, he claimed to have never asked his wife about how she paid for the new car. That's not exactly a credible statement. His wife, Patrice, claimed spousal privilege on the witness stand in the Eremian trial. If the Congressman knew nothing, then shouldn't have had to assert that right.

Also, there was the trip to the brother-in-law's house where the gambling was taking place. Mrs. Tierney said Johnny could not see the gambling taking place because there was a wall, but the wall was glass!

Let's not forget that this family gambling ring included the Congressman's wife, his step son, his father-in-law, and his two brother-in-law. Even Fredo knew what his family did.

Who do you believe the Congressman or the felon? I'm thinking the felon has more credibility.
