And I know some public officials lurk on this forum.......
So when Josh Shapiro says "no one is above the law"

Wendy - is that your girl Ditka to his left? She's cute with that constipated look on her face...
Yes. They really should not be happy about all this. Patrick Shulte is on the far left, he also did questioning of witnesses along with Ditka. I've no idea who the other guy is, and everyone knows Sassano in the back. As a resident of PA, a taxpayer and a parent, I'm stunned at what has been allowed to go on by public officials.
Wendy, you didn't even include the most massive "red flag" that was put into print in the Spring 2009 by none other than Corrupt Corbett himself in his 5/1/2009 SWIGJ Application in regards to the V1 DPW-Reported & -Indicated CSA Investigation...here is what Corrupt Corbett listed as the probable cause:
Excellent Ms. Silverwood. Your article is Straight to the point and easy to understand the convoluted affair with The Second Mile and public officials.
For every beer you buy me, I’ll ante up two Shirley Temples to you.
Wendy this is why I think (and always have thought) that there is a smokescreen going up. It cannot be merely incompetence. When you're incompetent, that means once in a while BY ACCIDENT you do the right thing.
Somebody is being insulated. Really and truly - Soapy is a stooge and is guilty as sin. Nobody cares about protecting him - he is easily disposable. Rayko is already a wealthy man - he didn't need the Second Mile gig, although the money he and Kitty were pulling down was very nice.
So to whose benefit is this whole charade?
Or, "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
Thanks Step! But I'm very fond of a nice Pinot Noir these days. Spanish reds are in my wheelhouse as well. I owe a bunch of you guys a round for allowing me to come over to the McAndrew 19th Hole and complain.
The mere fact that Curley, Schultz and Spanier were even prosecuted was incredible. The millions of tax payer dollars that were spent to convict them of misdemeanors is even more troubling. But to sink to the level of bringing Jack Raykovitz to testify as a prosecution witness.......is evidence to what ends the Commonwealth OAG will go for a political prosecution. The Commonwealth OAG has been for some time a cesspool and it doesn't smell any better under Josh Shapiro.
I just used Dr. Raykovitz testimony. Whether Ditka knew it or not, she got him to admit to the same failures she was trying to charge Spanier with. Ditka is excusing Raykovitz's actions.
You know what one of the very craziest things is? I always thought Graham Spanier was an academic egghead, a goofball, an administrative cipher and a little bit off his rocker.
Compared to his successors, he's a paragon of leadership, honesty, and a stand-up guy.
He's going to be vindicated on appeal - THAT you can take to the bank.

One of my beliefs is The Second Mile was laundering money for the ranking state politicians. If this were true, there would be some serious jail time for those involved.
It would certainly give significant incentive to deflect all inquiries concerning TSM.
Re Corbett: ...other minor males have been assaulted through Sandusky's charity (TSM) (paraphrased from above) and yet all the OAG could do was fixate on Penn State, the entity least connected to Sandusky's abuse. What a bunch of f@$king a$$ clowns.
that might be the most ridiculous theory you've ever posted.
It's just mind-boggling though that the AG could put that statement into print in the Spring 2009 (i.e., very clearly indicating his knowledge that TSM was identified as the "ways and means" by which Sandusky was systematically sexually abusing children), but nobody - including Moulton - has ever found it suspicious that Corbett never lifted a finger to investigate TSM or even go to TSM in search of other potential victims?!?! Huh? WTF?
It is just mind-blowing that nobody finds Corbett's lame explanations for his lack of investigation of TSM (including looking for additional past and present potential victims, etc.... Corbett didn't even interview TSM despite the fact that Sandusky was at Central Mountain High School under the auspice of TSM and Clinton County CYS!) to be in fact lame and a clear indication of "cover up". Just not possible it so mind-blowing -- it is a clear indication of how corrupt the lawyers-turned supposed "public servants" are....
Nope. There has to be a reason why the OAG fixated on one victim at Penn State and ignored Sandusky's pedo playground - The Second Mile.
I'll buy that in principle. But who? Corbett replaced Rendell and was AG during the Rendell Administration. So he'd certainly have incentive to take down Fast Eddie. One-Term Tommy had a Dem AG and was replaced by an all-D Executive Branch. So if legislative bigshots (all R's) were washing money, you would think Scarnotti/Corman/Turzai/Reed/Cutler would make very attractive heads to hang on the wall for Shapiro/DePasquale.
Rendell still has plenty of juice but he's 73 and his days as a political officeholder are over. Corbett is hated by every R in Penna., has NO juice, and could not be elected Shaler Twp Dog Catcher.
Of course this is the state where Wolfie is now investigating his own Lieutenant Gov Stack for abusing his own staff, so who in thee hell knows what is going on in Sodom on the Susquehanna.
No doubt, it is a classic "foil" being used to "cover up" what was really going on....undeniably true right down to the AG created INTENTIONALLY FRAUDULENT Presentment which is what established the False Narrative "foil" on the record. All roads in this thing point back to two things -- the AG (who was Corbett at the time) and Charities. The nexus of those two things is the corrupt kingmaker down in Hershey, who was in fact Corbett's "kingmaker"....and wouldn't you know it, during this exact same time period there were massive calls for the corruption, including accusations of CSA, at the Hershey Trust to be investigated by the AG, but all of these investigations of Charities fell into the background when Corbett made it all about Penn State via his FRAUDULENT and CONTRIVED Presentment!
I always suspected there was a connection with The Hershey Trust and the kingmaker.
When Itry to see SOME of your Tweets, I get some kind of reason why they are not available. I do follow you on Twitter.
You have to be talking about the legendary LSZ. Another former AG. What's with these people?
Of course former Hershey Trust chairman Cavanaugh is pretty shady too with that sweetheart golf course deal.
Well, what do you know, here is a an article dated Feb. 2011 talking about massive and rampant corruption at Hershey - HIT THE LINK. Gee, I wonder why they hung a banner over the Hershey Hotel after lavishly renovating it with Hershey Trust Funds dubbed "Zimm's Place"? Gee, I wonder what that means....LMFAO.
Why do you think the records were shredded?? - Not only shredded but shredded so quickly and in the direct light of this "child abuse scandal". I can assure you the shredding was not to make moving to Texas easier!!
From what I have been told, the money laundering "service" was not just for the benefit of politicians - it was also open to "selected donors" as a means of creating money pools for political projects and campaigns.
Bump....great post...thanks for sharing Wendy. I think I blew a gasket when I saw Shapiro stand up there and say this bullshit just after propping up Jack "swim trunks" Raykovitz as a witness to testify for the state and admit during this testimony that he failed miserably in handling the report from TC all with Ditka completely ignoring these admissions by JR....smh.
Wendy: In that case, you should give the Pesquera Crianza a try. It is a very good red (Tempranillo grapes) from the Ribera del Duero region. I drink it quite frequently. Here's a link:

The shredding of documents? No numbers to see here.
Corbett wouldn’t have been going after Rendell without Leroy Zimmerman’s blessing. Leroy was considered one of the most powerful political persons. Rendell earmarked (3 million?) to TSM while governor. Corbett becomes gov. and maintains the earmarked money to TSM even though Sandusky and TSM were in the OAG’s sights. His excuse for not pulling the money was….he didn’t want to alert anyone that Sandusky was being investigated.
LeRoy Zimmerman: The first electedAttorney General, Zimmerman remains a power broker in Central Pennsylvania. Managing partner with Eckert Seamans in Harrisburg, Zimmerman contributes heavily to state and national Republicans, but maintains friendly ties with the Rendell administration.
I read your link which reminded me of the Reese lawsuit, which petered out as quickly as it launched. That was a great chance gone by the wayside to blow the cocoa beans out of the Hershey trust shenanigans.
I also forgot about Kane's aborted investigation. These guys should be behind bars. Instead they're living it up at the Hotel California.

Hershey trust is worth $10.5 billion. That's more money than Mark Dambly ever dreamed of stealing.
And you have the verification that I’m in left field on this belief? Show me the content of the shredded TSM documents and maybe you will convince me.
Yep, The Trust & TSM seem to be off limits to any investigations.
Given that theory I doubt you have the mental capacity required.
there has not been one (1) bit of evidence that would tend, even the slightest, toward your theory after years of attention on the matter.
Out of curiosity: attention from whom?
No doubt, now according to the spinners TSM received years of attention in regards to being investigated??? LMFAO, you can't make this $hit up! The trolls on this site are so lame it is pathetic.
And what type of evidence would you expect anyone to find after an untold number of documents were shredded in an industrial grade shredder truck???
If it's so ridiculous, then why did all of the victims who got paid by PSU have to sign an agreement to NOT pursue any legal action against the 2nd Mile?
Who the hell are our "leaders" protecting???

I simply don't know anymore. I've been round and round with Bob Fernandez at the Inquirer - who as you may know wrote The Chocolate Trust. We're both stymied, and were hoping the Estey - McCord corruption/FBI wiretapping thing would erupt in something.
There is just so much stink going on - and yet we're to believe that an $8M can of "Fresh Linen" FREEHbreze sprayed on this story was going to clear the air of that stink.
It still stinks. I don't care how many fancy candles you light, Glade Plug-Ins you use or exhaust fans turned on to High - IT STILL SMELLS.
nothings been found. not one documentioned, computer file. not 1 piece of testimony.
Also their budget was miniscule.
There's just nothing there to be found and there never was.
meanwhile they've been investigated by a number of fed agencies.
If there was nothing at TSM that was wrong ...then why shred anything.
If you were TSM management wouldn't you want to validate to the world that nothing was wrong with TSM other than Sandusky??? Since all records were shred immediately after Sandusky was charged....I guess that about ends this discussion of how TSM's operation was so proven to be "innocent" of any wrongdoings.
Also - another "fun fact"...all computer those computer files that you state were "not found".....you know that all TSM electronic media was mysteriously "lost"!!!
Only one person can evaluate TSM on their records....that is "one-tough-cookie" herself whose basis of analysis is a couple of informal light discussions with TSM personnel. This is an investigation????? In what universe????
There ya' go.
We - lots of the "masses" - have largely done these guys a huge favor ....... by focusing so much on the "small picture" stuff as goals, rather than as symptoms of the bigger stuff
