Pennsylvania is corrupt to the core.

[lionlurker]

We care plenty about corruption. Grand jury leaks, tainted judges, illegal communication between judges and prosecutors, etc etc etc. The reason they want to muzzle Kane is because they fear that all of this will become public knowledge.

Why do you want to muzzle Kane? Do you want these crooks to get away with this?

 

[WeR0206]

Kane now has the emails!!!! How did she get them? THe ISP says there was no warrant. Kane's office is now releasing the emails.

Since they weren't obtained with a warrant the only other explanations are that someone in the media who was sent the emails shared them with the OAG or someone had access to his password....you know...the password that Feudale told numerous people and wrote on a sticky note next to his computer. All it would take is for someone in the office to take note of his password then they could log in to his email account and print the emails, etc.....they guy is an idiot. That's probably what the police told him when he reported his missing files to them.

I think he is one of the crooks. I didn't realize until now Frank Fina posted here.

 

[ericstratton-rushchairman]

Am I the only one that thinks Ms. Kane is pretty hot... I mean, for an Irish gal

 

[Jayb48]

Dan Flood was the biggest crook of all...he and russ kept great jobs out of the area,so they could keep their dress factories running

 

[jim cummings]

The KaneBots don't care about corruption. They didn't care about corruption until Kane was charged.

You're so full of shit. Corruption has run rampant for years before she took office. She's no pussy and you and your asshat buddies know that you're at the end of the line.

 

[lionlurker]

Not Fina. Perhaps Zwick is actually Seth Williams.

I think "lass" is the preferred usage in the context of your statement.

You don't care and Kane does not care. If you really care then release ALL the emails. Don't release a handful from political opponants and then act like you really care.

Did Feudale use to work at EndFrame?

Maybe if you are drunk. The other 99% of her pics she looks like a pig.

No. The other explanation is Kane's office stole the emails and then sent them to the media. Her press secretary even said they may have provided the emails to the press.

I wish. Send it to me. I will forward it to Kane too. Will that make her guilty of something?

 

[EPC FAN]

Let's just be glad the football game this Sat isn't between Illinois's politically corrupt and Pennsylvania's politically corrupt.....the depth of the Illinois team is incredible.

The Illinois team is peaking at the right time, too.....ex-Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert is pleading guilty in federal court this morning re: banking violations.

Yeah, but the rotten sum bitch is avoiding the sex charges. No registering as a sex offender. Nothing on the record saying he is a pedophile. Six months, and I doubt he serves that.

 

[WeR0206]

No. The other explanation is Kane's office stole the emails and then sent them to the media. Her press secretary even said they may have provided the emails to the press.

Well, good luck proving the emails were 'stolen' when feudale himself sent them to the philly press. The other emails that weren't sent to the press by feudale could have been procured by literally anyone who feudale told his password to or knew about the sticky note with his password written on it. Like I said...good luck with figuring out who that was.....

In the grand scheme of things who cares how the emails were obtained, what really matters is what they show...and what they show is that feudale/fina were corrupt scumbags who liked to abuse the GJ system by leaking info to the press, etc......they are going to have a lot of explaining to do and I'm sure they're already starting to sweat a little.

 

[zwick99]

I totally agree lionlurker. The problem is that much of the public can't get passed the partisan politics of this. It's a total pavlovian response...."A Dem is attacking one of our boys? She has to be stopped"

Except you are too partisan to support releasing ALL the emails which would expose your fellow Dems. Notice the flaw?

Let me know when the Dems are ready to clean up the corruption in Philly. Partisan liberals complain about corruption but then want to ignore Philly corruption. Funny how that works.

Everything should be exposed. All of it.

There.

Happy now?

 

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

Hastert will likely serve his time at CR66's country club...

 

[WDLion]

Meanwhile they are running ads against Ann Covey here in the Philly burbs. They say all of the other judges running are approved by the Bar Association except Ann Covey, who is bad for PA. The machine is running full speed. Hope it blows a gasket.

Not being approved by the bar association is a good reason to vote for her.

 

[84Lion]

Sheeran the Sting fan! Who knew? Another clue! I'm leaning Mack Daddy.

Not that big a Sting fan but those lyrics are verbatim from the Pet Shop Boys' "Opportunities" - although cherry-picked from the song and not in order. Perhaps more interesting are the lines of that song that Frank didn't include (perhaps we are to "read between the lines?"):

I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question: Do you want to be rich?

You can tell I'm educated, I studied at the Sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics, I could have been a don
I can program a computer, choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination, I have got the crime

Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them, you know?
There's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't, you can make them
Make or break them

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

No being approved by the bar association is a good reason to vote for her.

No doubt, corrupt lawyers with zero principles, morals or ethics being "par for the course" IS THE PROBLEM. PA Bar Association = corrupt Good 'Ole Boys Club and their endorsement is way to maintain the status quo on, and control of, PA Supreme Court.

 

[WDLion]

Probably just brainwashed beyond repair.

This is the line I was talking about:

This place has changed for good
Your economic theory said it would
It's hard for us to understand
We can't give up our jobs the way we should
Our blood has stained the coal
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
We matter more than pounds and pence
Your economic theory makes no sense

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
We work the black seam together

The seam lies underground
Three million years of pressure packed it down
We walk through ancient forest lands
And light a thousand cities with our hands
Your dark satanic mills
Have made redundant all our mining skills
You can't exchange a six inch band
For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland
Your economic theory makes no sense

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
We work the black seam together

Should the children weep
The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
When you have sunk without a trace
The universe will suck me into place

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
We work the black seam together

 

[zwick99]

zwick99 here's some news for you....I'm an INDEPENDANT and have been for almost all of my voting life (35 years). I don't give a flip if Fina or Kane were anointed by God Almighty.

I am dedicated to the truth and rooting out corruption where ever it leads.

As long as the truth supports Joe but when that does not happen you will complain about the truth.

 

[zwick99]

If we're talking about Philly, it can start with Seth Williams.

There.

Happy now?

Fine with me. The problem is the partisans like yourself will stop with Seth. If you really want to expose EVERYTHING as you say then why would you single out ONE person? It is obvious you really only want to expose Williams vs EVERYONE as you claim.

 

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

Meanwhile they are running ads against Ann Covey here in the Philly burbs. They say all of the other judges running are approved by the Bar Association except Ann Covey, who is bad for PA. The machine is running full speed. Hope it blows a gasket.

I automatically disqualify almost anybody endorsed by the Bar Assn (better known as the Backscratcher's Club). If they rate anybody 'not qualified' it is automatically a point in their favor. Just by chance I went Downtown this morning to the Allegheny County Elections Bureau and voted; just found out I will be out of town on Tuesday. Needless to say I voted for Covey.

 

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

I'm trying to remember which Chicago cemetery was a Ward unto itself....

The cemetery vote is a time-honored tradition. Dead people's votes are no stupider than anybody else's.

 

[nits74]

He also called the Capitol police to report a break in at his office. The police were later ordered to drop the investigation by Kane's office. She is a crook.

Kane illegally obtained the emails.

Sounds like you're worried it may destroy the narrative you so adamantly embrace.

 

[84Lion]

This is the line I was talking about:

Gotcha, VEB. I'm not familiar with the song, that's why I didn't pick up on that line.
I was referring to the last 5 lines before Frank says Ciao.

 

[colt21]

Zwick-got news for you. We already know the truth supports Joe.....and guess what?--the bad guys know it too !!

 

[lionlurker]

It's true, Zwick. If you and CR and your ilk didn't know what the real truth is, you wouldn't feel obligated to come here and lecture us about it.

I'd like to thank people for taking the time to read my thread today.

It's funny, but the corrupt Penn State trustees really flipped my switch. They had the gall to steal millions from your university and yet they ruined other peoples lives in order to shield themselves. But, alas for them their deeds will become known. It is inevitable and there will be some surprises.

There is no doubt that i have mellowed in my later years and perhaps father Sica finally got through to me or i might have taken matters into my own hands. You see, respect is paramount in our world. But, absolutely no one in our circle respects your corrupt trustees. One or two of them we tolerate, but they were not the masterminds of your scandal.

I am a fixer.

Statewide, we have to monitor and play both sides of the fence, so to speak. We do business with both republicans and democrats. Money is money.

Who do you think got fast eddie out of his little emperor's club 'problem'? We owed eddie a favor for the casino. I call it good business.

We all make mistakes.

Someone mentioned Russ's involvement with some dress factories. It's true and i rue the current shamokin situation. The low class documentary, Something's Smokin' in Shamokin created some negativity, but it was quickly forgotten. But, that is a story for another day.

No. Of course not. But there are plenty of crooks on both sides of the aisle. At least Corbett went after crooks in both parties. Don't kid yourself. Kane is playing politics here too.

Frank - Your contributions are always intriguing and, most recently, offer a glimmer of hope. I can't wait for the levee to break and can't wait for some of your insights when it begins to crumble. Can you give us even a small hint of any potential surprises? This tidbit you dropped is killing me.

 

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

Frank, no disrespect, sir, but are you related to Vito Corleone, the Barzinis, the Tattaglias, the Cuneos, the Straccis, Moe Greene, or Hyman Roth?

Without question Frank is a friend of the Corleones as well as Mr. Roth. The others are a gang of treacherous, backstabbing scumbags. With Frank and his boss, as well as Don Vito and Mr. Roth, you always know where you stand. If your dealings with them are above board, you will always be treated fairly and with respect and for the mutual benefit of all concerned.

If I had to pick an all-time favorite movie......it would probably be The Godfather.

An absolutely outstanding cast.
Absolutely outstanding novel to base the movie on.
The Producer/Director/Writer team did a wonderful job of keeping all of the great writing from the book.....much of the dialogue was verbatim from the novel
They obviously had to trim some from the full book, but they managed to portray everything included in the book, and keep things coherent despite some of the cutting that had to be done.

The wonderful thing about both the Novel and the Movie was the way in which the material was presented in such a basic....not sensationalized....way. Such that you really felt - "this is what it could have been like"....."this is how things got the way they are"

As time goes by.....it is AMAZING how many things come to light that are SOOO closely aligned with the types of things Puzo wrote about.....whether its stuff that has become public in the various "Mob Prosecutions" or what not.

________________________________________


The Rendell/Emporer Club ....for those who saw the Godfather Part II, you know what I mean.......is just another of the interesting scenarios in that regard.

 

[WeR0206]

No. Of course not. But there are plenty of crooks on both sides of the aisle. At least Corbett went after crooks in both parties. Don't kid yourself. Kane is playing politics here too.

Haa! Yes, Corbett went after people from both parties.....it's because he had political enemies in both parties. Corbett is the epitome of a hypocrite. During the entire time he and his cronies (fina) were wasting offcie resources going after Corbett's political enemies via Computergate and Bonusgate, Corbett himself was abusing the powers/resources of his office for his own personal benefit...thus doing the very crimes he and his cronies were going after people for. You can't make this stuff up!!

Oh yeah and don't forget that while he had the majority of his office resources focused on the stupid computergate and bonusgate prosecutions he let the JS investigation sit by the wayside with only a small handful of agents assigned to it. Wow, Corbett really had his priorities straight huh?!? Of course the media saw no issues with the above.....good ol' corrupt PA.
