From the Daily News:Shortly after he was released on $1 million bail, ex-Queens Assemblyman Jimmy Meng called the government witness who had secretly taped him soliciting a bribe to fix a criminal case, prosecutors revealed.
Meng didn't even get outside the Brooklyn Federal Court building on Tuesday night before he dialed up the snitch from his cell phone, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Marisa Seifan today. Later, an associate of Meng's also “reached out” to the witness, Seifan told Magistrate Cheryl Pollak.
Meng, who had brought along his wife, Shiao, to co-sign the bond posting two Queens properties they own, got a tongue-lashing from the judge.
“It is a violation of this bond to threaten or attempt to influence the testimony of anybody who might be a witness against you in the case,” Pollak said. “If you do it again, you’re going to jail."
Meng’s court-appointed lawyer, Michael Padden, said he had also advised the defendant to refrain.

Really? Just a warning? Justice isn't just blind, it's deaf and DUMB!!!
put him right back in jail, NOW
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Like John Liu (who's dad is a convicted bank thief) your parents actions are their own but they are certainly a window into the way a child was raised.
Ever notice how people talk about how great their parents were?
That's legitimate. And when the parents are dirtballs that's important as well.
Sent him back to Korea--- Norrh, that is.
What an evil man. I gather his daughter Grace will be forced to withdraw from her race. She can't weather this major storm.
Its just mad because back at home the government would have help him to "disappear" the informant.
"Sent him back to Korea--- Norrh, that is."
He's from Taiwan, not Korea
A friend of mine who is fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin says that the callers to the 24-hour Sino radio station WZRC 1480AM are all up in arms about this treatment of Jimmy Meng. All kinds of conspiracy theories abound: some kind of racist attack on his daughter running for Congress as an Asian, payback for not offering up info on John Liu, and a combination of both, etc.
Meng’s court-appointed lawyer, Michael Padden, said he had also advised the defendant to refrain.
Why would Jimbo need a court-appointed lawyer? He should have plenty of dough.

Agreed! Something smells worse than the Flushing River AND Claire Shulman combined!
Without her father's help, Grace will have a tough fight.
The judge should have immediately remanded him back in custody instead of letting him off with a warning.
Jimmy will walk...
mark my words...and his daughter will win the Congressional race.
He's got friends in DC,
as he does in both NS and NYC!
So the Orientals are up in arms
about "Jimbo's" treatment.
Too damn bad!
They are forever pulling the race card when one of their own gets caught red handed.
So this poor little Asiatic gangster
is a victim of discrimination
Kiss my bum!
What else do the Taiwanese bring to America besides the corrupt ways of their country?
We've heard that Jimmy was personally "calling" around town
to get support for his daughter Grace.
We've also heard that the Chinese
are afraid of him,
so they complied with donations.
Which tong do the Mengs belong to?
If only this news had been released a month ago, the election results would have been different.
Lets see how many unions line up to support the Meng Dynasty
now you absolutely know that ALL of the nyc unions will support her.she is a democrat progressive ,who voted for the nys same sex marriage law. the public servant unions, most got obamacare waivers until 2018, know who votes for their salary increases and pension benefits contracts.
How to get elected in NYC. Become a Democrat, cheat ,lie and steal, get caught and get elected. NYC you gotta love it.
LOL....
still it's nice to see lumber yard owner Meng getting "lumbered" (f----d) by the feds.
Why is it that folks like Jimmy Meng and Great Eastern's Chang Liu always associate with clubs named Tamiment in honor of Tammany Hall? These guys advertise their own corruption! Buy a dinner table, be a judge. Buy Brian McLaughlin with suitcases of cash while he visits Taiwan and your little girl runs for Congress. The radio response fits the modus operandi of paranoid schizophrenics everywhere. Al Smith would be so proud.
