Blog Attacks AG Corbett's Partisan Investigations of Harrisburg
Attorney Gen. Corbett is running for Governor, at the same time he is leading an investigation into corruption inside the Capitol. The following blog attacks Corbett for the partisan nature of this investigation:

It has been very suspicious that Corbett has only charged Democrats for trading bonuses for partisan campaign work, even though there is plenty of evidence that some Republicans did exactly the same thing. (Maybe the Republicans just weren't stupid enough to write everything they were doing in emails on the State's computer system.)

1. There seems to be alot of pressure.....
on Corbett to resign. Is this so? If I was him (Corbett), as of right now... Id run because he would crush Gerlach. That being said, it
should be interesting to see how this story evolves. Intriguing that Gerlach got some big gun endorsements. He kinda looks like
a 30s mobster on tv movie to me.

2. Corbett Accused of Targeting Staff, Holding Legislators Hostage
The blog accuses Corbett of targeting most of his indictments towards legislative staff, possibly giving DeWeese (the big fish) immunity, and holding possible indictments over the heads of other legislators to control them. I don't have any first hand knowledge about these accusations.

3. yes... and just a few months ago
didnt it surface that the DeWeese case may be revisited because they discovered another box that fell out of the sky. I think that was in the paper. I said, oh... there's Corbett's political hack insurance policy. I think if he's running he should resign. I think he could still win (the primary), he's statewide. I'll try and find that link.
