Corman is a serpent.You don't trust every word that floats from Jake Corman's lips?
Corman is a serpent.
He's closer than you give him credit forHe's a piker as far as corrupt PA politicians go - he's in the LZ minor league training program, he isn't a big-league corrupt jackal like PA's ex-governor or the "political patronage" machine he was running including the corrupt OG PSU BOT.
This is exactly what I'm saying. I'm not quitting, I just have no hope things will ever be different in the publics eye or if the truth will ever come out.
Thank you Ray, You and yours have a warm & Happy Easter.Kane and the Feds met after she took office and discussed how to proceed with the pending investigations. Feds stayed the course with TSM. PA OAG had the Conspiracy of Silence case & anything else related. As Bagwell's information shows, the Feds wrapped up their PSU investigation (ref. 2 Feb 12 subpoena). Second Mile investigation is presumed to be ongoing...in other words, nothing has come out to say it has ended.
Typically, white collar crime investigations (money laundering, extortion, etc) can last a long time. On average between 2 and 7 years. Longer if there are not cooperating witnesses.
Given the tangled web that has been exposed in PA, the TSM investigation could take quite while.

Be careful with AG candidate out of Allegheny County/Pittsburgh--Zappalla. Strong mob ties as evidenced by his ability to protect his brother who owned the jails (and profited from) used in the "kids for cash" scandal. Ask Sheeran

I am convinced that all federal investigations of PSU and the Second mile have ended without charges. The grand jury subpoena to PSU in Feb. 2012 indicates that a single grand jury investigation probing TSM and PSU was ongoing. We know that grand jury investigation is now closed. Gordon Zubrod retired in October. I don't see any reason to think there's an ongoing investigation at this time.

Having no inside information, I have no idea if that is correct or not........but, from where I sit, I can say with ZERO reservation that the last 4+ years have been littered with far too much "BE PATIENT", and far too little "SPEAK UP".........from a litany of folks who should have been speaking up.
Too many people who sit by like a mute (either because their mouths are stuffed full of $100 bills, or they are personally compromised) ...... or who restrict their ire to politically easy targets like low-level pimps Emmert and Freeh.
Too many "pussies"....not nearly enough "heroes".
When that happens, you are far more likely to see things die on the vine, or whimper to a quiet death.
We need some mother-humping Heroes.....STAT!

In the Spring of 2013, the Feds and Kane agreed to work the cases separately. Kane got PSU and everything else. The Feds got the Second Mile.
While I won't speak to specifics about The Second MIle case, Federal charges were pending against TSM in Spring 2013. There is not a statute of limitations on the crimes.
It took the Feds over 10 years to get Bernie Madoff -- after they were given the information about his fraud techniques by Harry Markopolous. Markopolous kept pushing on the case the whole time -- until Madoff was arrested.
Most Federal investigations of white collar crime take between 2 and 7 years. This one may take longer.
Thanks, Ryan.DOJ has stated in court filings that its investigation of TSM and PSU has ended.

Thanks for sharing Wendy. The thought of Zappala being the AG of PA is terrifying...he's been covering up for the Pitt archdiocese for years. He makes corbert look like a choir boy.
His OAG would be RICO up the wazoo
I know nothing other than reading about the bad blood between the Zappala & Orie families and of course, the #kids4cash scandal attached to the family name.
And I met with Shapiro as Chair of PCCD in his office last July with a rather detailed list of my usual concerns -
Also gave a copy to Kevin Steele in his role as PSAA Pres and a copy for Steele to give to Risa Ferman in her role as a child advocate (she was traveling and could not make the meeting).
Never heard back from any of them answering my questions. Shapiro will need to take a public stance on this.
Frank Fina and his fellow gunslingers in the OAG irreparably harmed so many individuals and their families in all this. Which is a separate rant for another day.

From Mike Ference re: Zappala
"There is a reason PA ranks so low. Here is one of them Allegheny County DA Stephen Zappala Jr.
Read for yourself and judge for yourself:
Did Allegheny County DA’s office protect predators over children?
If it weren’t such a serious matter, I would find it laughable that
Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. has announced plans to
“revisit some of the matters” during the tenure of one-time Pittsburgh Catholic
Bishop Anthony Bevilacqua now that the former cardinal of the Philadelphia
archdiocese has been accused of transferring and possibly covering up crimes of
priests accused of sexual abuse and never warning the unsuspecting parishioners
in the new churches.
Perhaps Zappala can start by “revisiting” documentation that I provided
years ago to two Allegheny County Detectives (Logan and Andrews) regarding an
alleged cover-up that inspired the current McKeesport Police Chief to tell me
that a grand jury investigation was merited. This case goes back to 1987, the
last year Bevilacqua served in the Pittsburgh Diocese. The alleged cover-up
involved a local priest giving a young man alcohol and drugs; there was a
period of unconsciousness during which the boy may have been sexually abused,
and then he eventually made his way to a city hospital. His parents were
summoned, told what had happened and advised by medical staff not to report the
alleged criminal activity.
When I shared my research on this case years ago, Zappala and his detectives
did nothing except blow me off.
My guess is that newspapers from the Philadelphia area with legitimate
investigative reporters will break this story first. Zappala and western PA
publishers and editors who didn’t follow through on this years ago may be too
busy removing egg from their face."
I often disagree with Nate, but he has a point. Not advocating that anyone "move on", but the long and storied track record of the Commonwealth lends credence to the thought that the corruption will continue unchecked. Couple that with a media that is lazy and interested only in protecting the accepted narrative, and it would appear that his prediction is more likely than not.
Bruce Heim tells us that this ALL has been VERY THOROUGHLY investigated.....and there is nothing to see there.Is there any known federal investigation of Centre County CYS?

Bruce Heim strokes a putt during 2nd Mile Charity Golf Tournament.
This is a provable LIE as the DPW found against The Second Mile and Sandusky (the charity's founder and most powerful "Control Person" at the time) in regards to Aaron Fisher's Formal CSA Complaint registered with the Clinton County CYS Office in late November 2008 (11/25/2008 is the precise date the CSA Complaint was filed with Clinton County CYS and Gerald Rosamilia I believe). The DPW made the guilty as charged finding via their formal "Judicial Hearing Process" in the first months of 2009 right before THESE FINDINGS and allegations landed on the OAG CORBETT'S DESK in MARCH 2009! The DPW/CYS not only sanctioned Sandusky, but they sanctioned The Second Mile as well - the Clinton County CYS DISBANDED their dedicated effort to TSM and TERMINATED the "TSM Coordinator" postion in their offices. The DPW/CYS also BANNED both The Second Mile and Sandusky, and all of the TSM's offerings, from their jurisdiction! Not only that, but Gerald Rosamilia, the Senior Executive of the DPW/CYS Office in Clinton County, called The Second Mile PERSONALLY to deliver the results and SANCTIONS of the DPW's (the Charity's Licensor) formal "Judicial Hearing" and TESTIFIED that he spoke with the #2 Executive at TSM, Katherine Genovese - the President of TSM and wife of the CEO of TSM, Jack Raykovitz - and delivered DPW/CYS's findings and SANCTIONS including that the Office's permanent "TSM Coordinator" had been terminated and that both Sandusky and his charity, TSM, were BANNED from doing any more work in Clinton County!
Not sure what calendar Bruce Heim is using, but the last months of 2008 and first months of 2009 is LONG, LONG, LONG before the presentment came out in November 2011 - two and one-half years before the OAG's bull$hit, "false narrative", clearly MALICIOUS PROSECUTION Presentment and Indictments came out!!! I guess it isn't worth noting that Attroney General Corbett was good buddies with and BEING POLITICALLY FUNDED BY many of the big-wigs on TSM's Board of Directors including Board Chairmen Poole and Board-member Heim??? Also worth noting, Corbett was supposed to be REGULATING The Second Mile relative to "social mission" and that they weren't committing any kind of fraud relative to that STATED and FILED "social mission" - and he was busy taking substantial moolaaa from, and establishing coozy relationships with, the most powerful people at the Charity. Given these coozy relationships, and the money these relationships were supporting AG Corbett with, how can anyone say it is mere "coincidence" that Corbett FAILED to execute his MANDATE as OAG, relative to both his "Charitable and Non-Profit Organizations Division" as well as his "Child Predator Special Investigative Unit", when he was HANDED an Investigation Report from TSM's co-regulator and licencor, DPW, in MARCH 2009 that not only alleged, BUT FOUND THROUGH THEIR FORMAL "JUDICIAL HEARING PROCESS", that Sandusky was USING THE SECOND MILE to access children and groom them for Child Sexual Abuse!!! Coincidence that Corbett just failed to investigate The Second Mile protecting his buddies and political benefactors like Heim and Poole?.......Pure coincidence that Heim is BOLD FACED lying about TSM, or to his knowledge the State of Pennsylvania, including AG Corbett, not knowing anything about any "bad acts" or allegations against Sandusky until the release of the Presentment in 2011? I think not - the rats have clearly been caught with their hands in the cookie jar!
