Staten Island Rep. Michael Grimm is calling vandalism and the erasure of computer drives at his Republican campaign headquarters over the weekend a "politically motivated" crime.

"Whoever did this, the people responsible are very ignorant, and they don't understand that this is not just an attack against me or my campaign," Grimm, a freshman, told the Staten Island Advance. "This is an attack against a federal campaign office, which is an attack on our democracy as a whole. It's an attack against what we stand for, for free elections."

Grimm, who is the target of a federal investigation involving campaign fundraising, is running for reelection against Democrat Matt Murphy.

Linux, an open-source operating system, was installed on Grimm's computers, erasing the hard drive contents, which included polling and voter identification data. But staff had backed up the hard drive contents hours beforehand. Grimm and his staffers said the vandalism -- cement blocks were thrown through the office's windows -- is a cover-up for the attacks on the computers.

Did they get a good look at the culprit?

14 year old and 16 year old already fessed up after this became a news story, they were afraid of feds. The rocks they threw were small, and the holes in the glass are too small for anything but a gerbil to enter his campaign HQ. Seems like Grimm used it as an opportunity to wipe his hard drives since he's currently under two separate federal investigations.

Haha swear to god that's what I suspected at first. His own people got rid of whatever because you know the feds would have wanted to know why he wiped his drives.

I want to believe, I really do. Hopefully the feds are able to conduct a full investigation and get to the bottom of this.

That's... just... too... perfect.

Though, if he did do it and I were him
and evil
, I would break the windows more to make them non-small so that no one would object like this.
