Culture of corruption Angela Couloumbis and Craig McCoy reported a long story published in this past Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer. The story is of interest in a number of respects. The headline refers to Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane: “Kane shut down sting that snared Phila. officials.”“Kane shut down sting that snared Phila. officials.” NRO posted a good summary by Alec Torres here. It’s the kind of story that Glenn Reynolds sometimes links to with the introductory tag “Culture of Corruption,” but I don’t think he has picked this one up. The Inquirer article tells the story of an investigation begun when current (Republican) Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett was Attorney General. The investigation was based on an old fashioned “sting operation over three years that captured leading Philadelphia Democrats, including four members of the city’s state House delegation, on tape accepting money[.]” When Kane took office in 2013, she shut down the investigation. In a statement to the Inquirer, Kane criticized the merits of the investigation and added an imputation of racism. The Inquirer reporters give short shrift to the charge of racism. In addition, they state: “Sources with knowledge of the sting said the investigation made financial pitches to both Republicans and Democrats, but only Democrats accepted the payments.”....... LINK |

Your entire political system is corrupt. The bush theft of the 2000 election bought ot to light, but both sides are involved |

It is true that I want to keep talking about the specific subject and not one of your typical diversions. Thanks for admitting that. |

But it is much easier for telcoman to try to deflect the subject by making wild claims than try to defend the Dem's. |

Anyone in Canada knows about corruption in Quebec. We are discussing US corruption here, and it spans both parties. Of course a one sided dogmatist like Berton chooses to ignore that. |
