In the long run, if I was one of the Defendants, I would seriously think about withdrawing the Guilty Pleas and go for Trial before a Judge or Jury now.
The AG should have found a better way to return Tax dollars on Ethical Violations, not Criminal Intent.
Yet, we all think we know what to do even if we now know what not to do, making amends is no vice.
And Steve Webb, who admitted to perjury, obstruction, theft of services, conspiracy, conflict, etc - and all those who have testified to crimes but still are employed by the House caucus, even after DeWeese "cleaned up" and "did the right thing" - why are they still there.
That slob, perjurer, crook, liar, thief, obstructionist, deluded Steve Webb should resign his job -- or get fired -- now. Why should he still have a job while the admitted perjurer lies in court to try to ruin the lives and jobs of others -- like Sean Ramaley.
He admitted to multiple crimes and now he is just Corbett's whore. He'll do and say anything Corbett wants. Thankfully this jury didn't believe a single word that criminal/liar said on the stand.
Webb admitted in open court that he perjured himself -- several times. Why is HE not charged with a crime?

Indict DeWeese. December 10, 2009 4:53 PM"
Brubaker hired Webb and that was her judgment, he was promoted to run Campaigns and that was Manzo and Veon.
Webb seems to have played a double game, if Webb lied about Veon and Ramaley working under them, then it is clear Manzo did the same to DeWeese.
DeWeese still did the right thing and you calling for his Indictment when Ramaley was acquitted are strange, when people under them did and said things that cannot be believed now.
If no one did anything wrong, why would you call for DeWeese to be charged?
Once again, these are violations of the Public Ethics Act more than Intentional Crimes, and the OAG should consider a better way to resolve these accusations even if it means saying some mistakes were made.
"Anonymous said...Anyone who knew or worked with the Veon office or the Perzel office knew they worked very long hours - worked very hard. December 10, 2009 5:31 PM"
I quite agree, many of these Public Service Jobs are long hours and the ebst that do most of the work, often grow tired seeing others being bored.

If you ever get accused of crimes, your Mother is crying anyway, shame on you, Veon and Cott both have Mothers proud of their sons, and deserve praise for raising them right just like Sean Ramaley.
They do not have to call their Mothers, they will be there trusting in knowing what they raised was right, just like Sean Ramaley.
You are entitled to be mean if you want to be, but Cott and Veon are entitled to fair trials too.

Todd Eachus is in charge of the HDC since 2008, not Deweese.

I thought it was the weakest case of them all, Corbett should be trying these cases not subordinates.
Tony Krasek the AG's Felix Dzerzhinsky (KGB Founder), did not have much to work with, and depending on testimony under oath by admitted perjurers is not wise against Rosary Beads.
Any Catholic School Kid will tell you that or a Jesuit raised lawyer.
Corbett was not even in the Courtroom, he was off to the Pennsylvania Society meeting to raise money for his campaign?
Now is that working on State Time to Campaign when you should be doing the People's Business n a Courtroom on which, you based your whole case upon?
I would suspect that is not paying attention to detail is it?
"Anonymous said... When do the Republican's get their turn? Probably never. Sam Smith and Steve Miskin should be two that go!!! December 10, 2009 7:52 PM"
Oh, way after the elections of November of 2010.
First Veon early in the New Year!
More Democratic Indictments about March just 2 months before the Primary elections.
Then more Democratic Trials about July and August before the General Elections.
Of course if Veon is acquitted in Bonus Gate he will face BIG Gate.
If Veon is convicted more trials and pleas taking their time just before the elections.
Since Ramaley won yesterday, expect a stronger charges from the AG to increase the pressure on the Democrats.
Plus, big time Obama Health Care, Climate Change Forced Regulations and Poor Economy, that the people hate and all Incumbents are in trouble, but especially Democrats.
Anyone else find it interesting that Krastek said: "If Ramaley was really there to help in a busy office he would've been in front w/ other legis aides, not in a back office." and "At some point in [Ramaley's] life he decided he was going to enter politics. Politics is a dirty buusiness."
#1 Krastek has worked for politicians for most of his career. How has he avoided this 'dirty business.'
#2 I held a Legislative Assistant job for the last 3 years with an desk that was set up in the back of the office. Does that mean I'm not working?
I never could figure out why a scandal doesnt merit its own name. Every one of them has to have gate in them. Like Watergate was the first one. Hell, the Republicans had the Team Pot Dome scandal before that. And now everything always has to be named after water gate. Can't the journalists be creative, after all they all got scholarships based on their creativity. Let's come up with something more original than BigGate.
Maybe, if the fourth estate starts now they'll have a name for the political scam that is being perpetrated upon the taxpayers of Pennsylvania by the GOP candidate for Governor Tom Corbett by the time that the voters catch on what he is doing and bounce him out of office,
Did anyone ever tell Krastek the facts of life. Apparently he doesn'y know that he got his job through politics. And, you know he said "Politics is a dirty business".
It is worth repeating and being the first posts on this particular blog:

ReplyDeleteRoxburynews: Just spoke with juror, said Steve Webb was the reason they found Ramaley not guilty.
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve, changing stories, changes minds of the Jurors.
And Steve Webb, who admitted to perjury, obstruction, theft of services, conspiracy, conflict, etc - and all those who have testified to crimes but still are employed by the House caucus, even after DeWeese "cleaned up" and "did the right thing" - why are they still there.

Didn't the grand jury meet this week? Was DeWeese indicted? If not, why not?
ReplyDeleteAnd Democrat leaders should either fire the workers grossly implicated, or fire their leaders (certainly DeWeese and Eachus
Because if Webb didn't do what he was asked, he would have been fired.

Allegations were made by the AG, destroying a career. Ramaley is innocent. Corbett should be held accountable.

Now that Sean Ramalley has been found innocent on all counts, we should be allowed top have a special election to vote for him for State Senator.
