In Philly?

Just more 'rats interested in the rule of law.

What happens when you have a government or agency run by those ill-equipped to run it. I doubt within Philadelphia there was anything subtle about all this, and it was very widely known to one and all.

This type of corruption is going to expand exponentially, as America slips deeper and deeper into the clutches of Democrat One Party rule.

Thank goodness this doesn’t happen anywhere else..

More local government corruption busted. Great job, feds! More!

[oh8eleven]

... said judges and their assistants routinely ... used code words
Oh, the horror! (I thought only racist, bigoted, homophobic GOPers did that.)

Were they form the 59 precincts that got over 99% of the vote?

Corrupt judges in Philadelphia — I just don’t know what to think any more.

Ah, Fleecadelphia, a student of liberalism as graduated from Chicago.

Hate to say it, but this happens in most towns and cities across the country. I worked in a small town lawyers office during my college years and I saw first hand how the people in power along with their family and friends got their infractions “taken care of”. I remember one specific case where a local politician's teenage son came flying up the main drag one evening and took out an entire row of parking meters. When the police arrived he was passed out drunk in the front seat. Oddly enough, they “forgot” to test him for alcohol so he wasn't charged with drunk driving, all he got hit with was a minor failure to maintain control charge. Anybody else in the same situation would have had the book thrown at them.

Do these judges carry firearms for personal protection?

Aren’t they part of the privileged class-our betters- who can be trusted with firearms?

Wow! A couple of drug running cops in Houston; now these judges. Why it is beginning to look like government employees are not much better than the general population.

I guess our trust is misplaced.

Thanks for the post. It’s just more evidence of the corruption inherent in all branches of the government. I would wager that the federal level of corruption would put local corruption to shame.

C’mon. it’s Philly !!! What else is expected from the city of “brotherly love”. Even Baltimore has a better record when it comes to corruption of public officials. ( I’m from Baltimore.) And we don’t boo Santa Claus or punch customers trying to buy tickets for replacement player football games.
