Let me get this straight Coyne and Marrone (Republicans) get immunity and they both admitted to embezzling money from Citizens Alliance but the two computer techs Luchko and Eister (Democrats)who are just a couple of working guys, that according to the Government didn't profit by this in ANY way got indicted. That STINKS!
Kenney got more than an email account, he got bank stock at insiders prices, he got free polling, he got a job through Fumo's intervention with Vitetta Corporation, a job he still holds, and he got to hand out Citizens Alliance checks at election time to worthy organizations. What's wrong with that is this self dealing increases the organizations political power so much that they become so formidable they can extort large sums from entities like PECO< THE DRPA, and Verizon. And they did! Just like with his staff whose submissiveness Fumo cultivated, it appears the heads of corporations and boards were also reluctant not to bend to Fumo's will, and therein is the abuse of power. Fumo is not a corrupt individual. He is a crrupt and corrupted organization. and Kenney and DiCicco are his subordinates if not his partners. Their Motto? We Get Theft Done!
