No, quite clearly the subject is of corruption in a specific place, time, and particular party and quite clearly you are doing your best to ruin any discussion of this thread like you are several others.

Then why don't you ever post about GOP corruption as well? Or are you so brainwashed you do not believe it exists?

I do post about it. You lefties bring it up every time you can find it and I usually comment on it. I don't try to divert it to Dems like you are trying to divert it to Republicans.

Nice spin but your childish diversion on topic after topic today is obvious for everyone to see.

Enough of your diversion. Back to the specific subject:

"Then there is Kane’s reliance on the supposed racial angle. In explaining her decision to close the investigation without charges, as the Inquirer reports, prosecutors in the case had issued orders to target only members of the General Assembly’s Black Caucus” and to ignore “potentially illegal acts by white members of the General Assembly.” The Inquirer reports that the lead prosecutor (then deputy attorney general) denies the charge and notes that the lead agent on the case was black."

Culture of corruption update

Yesterday in “Culture of corruption” I wrote about the “sting operation over three years that captured leading Philadelphia Democrats, including four members of the city’s state House delegation, on tape accepting money[.]” The investigation was killed by Attorney General Kathleen Kane (a Democrat) when she took office in early 2013.

Kane has hired an attorney to make threatening noises regarding a defamation lawsuit against the Inquirer, but she is firing blanks or shooting at her own feet. Putting to one side the fact that public figures have essentially no protection under the law of defamation, Kane has yet to identify a false statement of fact in the Inquirer story. If she were serious about a lawsuit, that would be a problem.

Responding to the story, Kane herself has trafficked in accusations that sound in defamation. She has accused those who conducted the investigation of targeting black legislators and dismissed those who question her action as “nothing more than the Good Ol’ Boys club playing political games to discredit me in order to fulfill their own selfish and improper agenda.” The story struck a nerve.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reporters who broke the story have filed an interesting update in today’s paper: “District Attorney Williams blasts attorney general in sting case.” Craig McCoy and Angela Couloumbis report:

In unusually barbed criticism of a fellow prosecutor and fellow Democrat, Philadelphia’s district attorney rebuked state Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane on Friday, saying she had needlessly killed a solid corruption investigation – and besmirched the prosecutors who built the case......

Only a diversion since you can't produce any proof you have ever raised Republican corruption. LOL

More insults. How typical of you. That is all you do when you don't like a answer.

The subject as you wrote it is culture of corruption. That includes both parties. Are you trying to deny that?
