Is there anyone is the Pa GOP who isn’t either taking money from Meehan or giving it to him? How is Corbett going to investigate someone he’s accepting money from? For the right amount of money, I’ll do an investigation.

Corbett is too busy trying to waste taxpayer dollars fighting health care reform.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST -WATCH IT CLOSELY! Meehan’s face is peeling…

Can Corbett recuse himself?
Looks like perhaps he should.

Kick it up to the feds unless we want the foxes gaurding the hen house. I think statewide political corruption is a federal matter.

OK, I guess it’s pretty clear to anyone who’s been reading the past few months that I’m a liberal. So I’ll just say that the fact that Green, Corbett and Meehan all have ties with fundraising is no huge deal on the face of it, though on an ethical standpoint it does come across as a conflict of interest.

People from the same party give to other candidates from the same party.

Now that said, I can’t wait to see Lentz whip Meehan’s ass in the General Election.

I don’t believe that the feds can prosecute unless there is a violation of federal (not state) law. Corbett could recuse himself and assign the case to someone in his office. But, even if there was no actual conflict of interest in that circumstance, it would be difficult to avoid the perception that the conflict existed because everyone in his office would be perceived as wanting Corbett to be elected governor and, as a result, not going hard on Meehan.

Ther best path may be for Corbett to petition the court to appoint a special prosecutor.

This kind of situation makes me wonder whether it’s time for Corbett to resign and just run for Governor.

Green and Meehan both are puppets of the Delco GOP. That’s the conflict.

how can meehan go to the feds? he was one of them…plus he’d never trust the current justice department to give him a solid…lol

Looks like Delco GOP Judge charged in petition fraud.

Hmmm… is there a pattern?

Meehan you are getting messier and messier.

I think you’ve got the right ticket about Corbett resigning and campaigning for gov. However, that would still leave his staff in charge of the Meehan investigation. Not sure that would eliminate the conflict. Court appointed special prosecutor may be the best option.

What a Sham this is. Can Corbett not do anything right that is not partison ? I have been involved in court battles for both parties and all have been resolved by a judge. In this case there are too many big players involved. They were lazy and broke the law and should be made to pay dearly. Wrong is wrong and everyone knows it Fair is fair and Corbett should not be paying games at all. Maybe he should be the man he claims he is and step aside but knowing the scum bag as I do, he will not,
This whole thing boils down to the fox watching the chicken coop. We have to get a new AG as Corbett is corrupt as the day is long. Much worse than people we have in prison for much less. We need a court appointed special prosecutor.

Corbett only exists in this Guv race because of partisanship and abuse of his prosecutorial powers (not to mention that he is an idiot without his 3×5 cards prepared by his staff). If Corbett recused himself it still would not matter, since he does little in anything except make announcements. His staff runs his world in the AG’s Office as well as his political campaign!
