Democratic Legislators Take Bribes to Oppose Voter ID—And Get Away With It

[Clementine]

How many can guess why the matter was dropped? Just stop for a moment and think about the liberal mindset and you'll get it. Yup, racism was involved. A black investigator supposedly targeted black politicians. Apparently the definition of racism has changed. It is now the term used to refer to ANYONE who dares to criticize or question any Democrat.

This week, The Philadelphia Inquirer revealed that the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office caught at least four Philadelphia-area legislators taking multiple bribes ranging from a few hundred dollars to thousands in cash and Tiffany jewelry. Uncovered as part of a sting operation, these bribes were given to Philadelphia Democrats in exchange for votes or contracts, including opposition to Pennsylvania’s proposed voter ID law.

These findings are the result of over 400 hours of video and audio recordings obtained over the course of a three-year investigation that started in 2010 under then-Attorney General Tom Corbett, a Republican. Despite this solid evidence obtained from a thorough investigation, current Attorney General Kathleen Kane, a Democrat, secretly dropped the case in 2013, allowing these elected officials to get away with corruption that attacks the very heart of representative government.

I'm sure Philly would've gone red if these bastards had been brought to justice

Coming from the Heritage Foundation, which is entirely innocent of engaging in bribery and kickbacks.

And who called the black investigators "racist" for investigating black Democrats? What does the race of the investigators or the politicians have to do with anything?

Coupled with honoring those that vote more than once...

If you read the articles, you'll see the matter was dropped and mainly because of the usual cries of people treating minorities differently (aka racism). The article points out why that is ridiculous. It's become predictable for the left to cry racism or profiling whenever it's a minority being accused of something.

These people got away with accepting bribes because of false claims of targeting blacks.

From the link:

The lead agent in the case, Claud Thomas, is also an African-American who now works for Democratic District Attorney Seth Williams in Philadelphia. Williams criticized Attorney General Kane’s claim that Fina and Thomas had specifically targeted African-Americans in their investigation.

In fact, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the investigation targeted both Republicans and Democrats. But no Republicans took any bribes from the undercover operative, while at least four Democrats—who happen to be black—accepted bribes of up to two thousand dollars. That seems to be the only basis for Kathleen Kane’s bizarre claim that the investigation was “tainted by racism” —the fact that only black members of her own political party decided to accept bribes. The four legislators certainly delivered on their bribes, including voting against Pennsylvania’s voter ID law.

Mock it all you want. It's serious when elected officials accept brides to vote a certain way. They are getting away with it and it's just plain disgusting. We all know people on both sides do this shit and when they get caught we should throw the book at them and send a message. We can't tolerate this.

It should be punished with crucifixion. Nail a few thousand to trees and maybe, just MAYBE the rest will smarten up!

The Pennsylvania Attorney General, dipshit, who also happens to be a Democrat. Gee, what a coincidence.

Not sure why you think this is such a joke. You've got the top prosecutor in a major state with a solid case to lock away five state legislators guilty of some serious corruption (of which there is quite a history in PA) and she goes and tanks the whole thing using some completely absurd excuse. Her actions are clearly partisan and quite possibly illegal and deserve a thorough investigation. Even the black Democratic district attorney of Philadelphia County is pissed off at her for doing this.

Any Republican caught doing the same would be in jail by now. And you will mist likely hear crickets from the dem/lib side of the fence.
