(Relief?) "Nifonged" Part 2: The Real Conspiracy of Silence

[lionroar88]

They should give them to Loui Freeh... his team could go through 570,000 documents in 2 days!

On the contrary, I totally get that point. What's missing is how is how the lack of production of these docs somehow proves they weren't obstructing or even that they were unaware. It's circular reasoning & some would use a more foul term.

This is the Vinny Barbarino defense.

Boy are you that thick headed! If there was any reasonable evidence don't you think they would have been brought to trial by now? It seems to me it is reasonable to conclude that they have no evidence and are in deep shit! Now put that in your pipe and smoke it!

I'm sure Kane wanted to put an end to this charade. But she knew what the flack would be if the charges were dropped on her watch. The longer the charges stand, the silence of the accused is assured. Anyone who thinks Spanier and Curley will not speak out either doesn't know them or is mistaken. The Ship of Fools and others are very concerned about what they might say.

This all about silencing CSS and MM for that matter. Why haven't they settled with MM? The state needs to keep the hammer over MM's head so that which ever version of the truth MM testifies to will support the BOT and the AOG's view of the world. If MM's testimony has the "fix" going on then the CSS trials are a bit tougher to lose. MM needs the money to restart his life. Despite that the CSS trials aren't winnable by the state then. The trials can't take place because if CSS wins or the charges are dropped then it put some of the verdicts in the Sandusky trial at risk.

Getting a new trial for Sandusky would be a disaster for the BOT and the AOG. Why do you think Kane is being attacked as much as she is? Fina, Noonan and Corbutt have a lot to lose. They are the attack dogs. Dropping the charges would make her look partisan and weak especially since she is under fire.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the Sandusky appeal. I know in my heart that he was guilty of some of the charges but I also know in my heart that it wasn't a fair trial. Will he get a new trial? I doubt it. Probably not this time but eventually he will. There is more and more coming out. The Feds, CSS talking after their trials or during them, the information that the Paternos have and somebody on the state side and the BoT will break to save their own skins. The Bot will look bad, the AOG will look bad and TSM will look bad and people will likely go to jail.

The problem is that it may take two more years to get enough out there to see the majority of the truth.

Good post NICNEM. Two things concern me; the corrupt PA judiciary and scandal fatigue. JS may not get another trial because of the corrupt judiciary and when the truth is finally revealed no one will care simply because of fatigue.

With respect to the public at large, sadly we are already there. Penn State's reputation is tarnished forever because of this sham.
