The Ocean County attorney and Republican political boss charged with more than $1 million in tax evasion was found guilty of three of six counts by federal jury and not guilty on two others.

George Gilmore, 69, of Toms River, was found guilty of two counts of failing to file payroll taxes for employees and one count of making a false statement on a loan application, the U.S Attorney’s Office for New Jersey said. He was found not guilty of two counts of filing a a false tax return.

A jury sitting in federal court in Trenton could’t reach a verdict on a charge of tax evasion against Gilmore and declared a hung jury following a trial that lasted more than two weeks.

His attorney Kevin Marino said Gilmore "has no intention of resigning” as head of Ocean County Republican Party, after the verdict was announced. "The jury has flatly rejected the centerpiece of the government’s case.”

Typical of the repubican scum our nation is infested with these days.

No plans to resign. Typical of our current crop of repubican scum as well.

When are we going to stop putting up with our insane relatives and throw them the fuck out of the house?

2. They act as if a gulity verdict is exoneration

And they get away with it.

4. Hell, they embrace it

Being charged with tax evasion and financial crimes is a badge of honor to today's GOP.

5. I guess grover norquist still rules the gop

But it's really just greed. They like to think of themselves as some sort of "libertarians" but like all "libertarians" they just want an excuse for their morbid greed.

3. The rule of law does not apply to them. At all. Hope the sentence is jail-time.

6. Always check

Always check your social security statement at least once a year. It shows if your wages are being reported and your getting retirement credit. Keeps your employer honest. You can do it online.
