MSM Confirm Grand Jury Investigation of Thomas "Scissorhands" Severson

On Monday, I told you a statewide grand jury is probing the campaign tactics of political consultant Tom "Scissorhands" Severson. On Thursday, I detailed the case against him.

"Lies, all Lies," is how one anonymous reader responded.

Is The Express Times and Morning Call lying, too? They both confirm the inestigation, and report details I missed. Checks made out to Political Strategies, Inc., for example, were actually being deposited into Precision Marketing accounts. Severson also concedes he actually made much more than $10 million between 2000 and 2007.

    Did your previous post contain any information from the grand jury ? Should there be an investigation into grand jury leaks ? Where would that be investigated, Montgomery or Northampton ?

    Ask Bernie about the $2.5 million dollar settlement he screwed that family out of in Scranton when he forged his signature, again, on a document that would have enabled them to survive after losing their husband and father. Bernie O'Hair is not credible is not credible.

    It is illegal for a grand huror to discuss what goes on in a grand jury, but a witness is free to speak once his testimony is complete and that's what happened. You undoubtedly know that and are just trying, very hard, to divert attention away from Severson. Ain't gonna' happen.

    Bernie, just remember, you've dealt with your demons. Severson's are beginning no matter what happens here. You are hitting nerves all over given some of these posts. I guess a little bit of truth now and then vs. unlimited ego really hurts.

    Lady Rep,

    The flak gets heaviest when you're over the target.

    Agent Boonie, you are not over any targets. Are you saying that all of the information that you posted came from witnesses who testified relating their testimony to you. Please post the names of the witnesses and the dates you interviewed them ?

    "Are you saying that all of the information that you posted came from witnesses who testified relating their testimony to you."

    That's exactly what I'm saying. You have the names of witnesses listed in my blogs in the newspapers. Try giving them a call.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
