Yet no one was charged with a crime.

Prosecutors began the sting in 2010 when Republican Tom Corbett was attorney general. After Democrat Kathleen G. Kane took office in 2013, she shut it down.

Why should a local DA be more law abiding that the Chief Executive of the whole country?

Kane suckered PSU alums into voting for her (the only reason she was elected) - running on a platform of getting to the truth of the js scandal. She has done nothing in that regard, and patience is running short.

In places where the Democrats are in control, you can be sure that organized crime is running the government. This starts and the White House and flows down from there.

She’s NOT a DA. She’s the state’s Attorney General.

How could an investigation into Philadelphia corruption NOT target blacks? Who else gets elected there?

What continues to amaze me is that NO ONE at any political level is ever INDICTED or held responsible.
