Penn Dem AG Shuts Down Corruption Sting After Only Democrats Are Caught - EagleRockCafe - 03-17-2014 11:26 AM
Blames Racism…

To summarize: Both GOP and Dem politicians are offered bribes by undercover agents, the only ones who take the bait are black Democrats so that makes the sting racist and NO CHARGES will be filed.
It started as a plea arrangement between a lobbyist arrested for fraud and the Republican attorney general of the state of Pennsylvania. And it ended not with a bang but a whimper by the new Democratic attorney general, who shut down the investigation without filing a single charge.
Philly.com quotes Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane, who took office in 2013, as telling the Inquirer that the investigation was “poorly conceived, badly managed, and tainted by racism, saying it had targeted African Americans.”
The undercover sting, begun three years ago by Kane’s predecessor, Republican Tom Corbett, captured leading Philadelphia Democrats, including four local members of the state’s House delegation, on tape accepting money. The lobbyist who agreed to wear a wire and tape officials reacting to offers of cash and/or gifts is Tyron B. Ali, 40, who was arrested in a $430,000 fraud case.
“Sources with knowledge of the sting said the investigation made financial pitches to both Republicans and Democrats, but only Democrats accepted the payments,” said the Inquirer.
Four state lawmakers took money, the sources said. State Rep. Ronald G. Waters accepted multiple payments totaling $7,650; State Rep. Vanessa Brown took $4,000; State Rep. Michelle Brownlee received $3,500; and State Rep. Louise Bishop took $1,500, said people with knowledge of the investigation.

She should be given the choice to step down or be fired, for blaming this on racism. Then have a talk with her about not charging the criminals.

Does the State at least get the bribe money back?

Probably goes to "donations" for the left.

Nope. If no crimes were committed then the bribes have just turned into gifts.

Liberal interpretation of Citizens United.

How surprising.
Educated, attractive, white, liberal female out to save selected minorities from the evils of Republicans and nefarious plots to weed out corrupt officials.

Yet it backfires. They shouldn't have 'made those folks' accept the bribe $$$.

Heres a more in depth story and it's unbelievable.

And shouldn't the IRS be looking at this?

Somebody in the Democratic party got to her and she caved. She should be impeached immediately. That said, she is a solid leftist Democrat. True to the party.

Eric WitHolder must have schooled her in Not Enforcing the Law when you don't agree with it.

They aren't right wing enough for the IRS to look into. They save the wringer for the TEA PARTY.

Well, federal prosecutors did decline to prosecute the case too...
