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.
Fleck will be torn apart like the weasel he is when Ed's attorney calls him and rips him a new one. Seeing Fleck sobbing on the stand will be sweet.

ReplyDelete“Lying is in Ed’s DNA”, said Ed’s longtime managing director, Fran.
ReplyDelete"[Ed Pawlowski] is as straight as they come". -Mike Fleck.
ReplyDelete'nuff said.
Did Fed Ed actually talk to the FBI without his lawyer present? If so he should be convicted of stupidity.
ReplyDeleteWrapping up with the tape of FedEd lying repeatedly was strong and the charges of lying to the FBI look like a slam dunk. This on top of prior recordings of FedEd acting sneaky.
ReplyDeleteHonest services fraud looks likely too, assuming the jury accepts Dougherty's testimony linking Pawlowski to rewritten streetlight bid specs and other shenanigans to steer contracts. Last week I looked again at the Morning Call coverage of McMahon's cross examination of Dougherty, which lasted EIGHT HOURS - clearly a witness that McMahon cared about impeaching.
The evidence doesn't seem as clear cut to me regarding bribery.
Whatever the outcome I do hope Allentown has a new mayor ASAP, with reforms to campaign financing and contracting.
Remember... "Whisper's" is innocent even if he has to lie to do it-
ReplyDeleteI hope he gets the detail of cleaning the poty right of when he gets to his new home... he is so well versed in potty chat... maybe a New Mayor's Radio Show called "potty Chat with your host FedED?
I have been following the case since it's inception. At no time did I read any indication that Mr.Pawloski converted any campaign donations to His personnel use.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely true Mr Sherman. No case here
ReplyDelete@William Sherman...And? What's your point? There is more to corruption than converting campaign donations to personal (not personnel) use.
ReplyDeleteActually, he did forcer developers to get him Eagles tix, buy his meals, etc. He does not have to benefit personally to be guilty of bribery or extortion. .
ReplyDeleteI am curious regarding the last few entries. There had been much talk (gossip) on this blog and elsewhere that Ed Pawlowski got free work done to his home (a man cave, I believe) as part of his corruption. Does anyone know why this was never brought up or was it, actually, a viscous rumor?
ReplyDeleteThe Feds have put on a masterful case. Fed Ed will go to prison for a long stretch, as he should. I think Fleck violated the terms of his plea deal by using his wire to defend Pawlowski's crooked actions and will be sentenced severely.
ReplyDeleteThey have? Have you been in the court room at all? You are either one of the feds or just an ordinary lame sheeple!
DeletePawlowski's FBI interview and the Eagles tickets raise a question that I haven't seen addressed. If the City ethics code forbids accepting gifts, what happens if the code is violated as appears to have been the case here?
ReplyDeleteThe last innocent man.
ReplyDelete3:03, it is clear Fed Ed had the work done without a permit and only gitbone after I raised the issue. Whether he paid for this work is unknown to me and whether the feds included this as part of their investigation is unknown to me.
ReplyDeleteThis dude appears to be fried well done, based on reports of court proceedings. He was quite full of himself to run for re-election. He didn't give any thought to what happens when he is found guilty.
ReplyDeleteBernie, the time line of the man cave remodel also coincided with a mere $500.00 campaign contribution. The particulars are blurry and seem to overlapp like many things surrounding fed ed, covered over by more paperwork flurry's and threats, that's why all the snow predictions by our home brewed weather channel up there on the mountain.
ReplyDeleteHow is the Penguin able to afford Starbucks? Every day he walks into the courthouse holding a Starbucks coffee in his flipper. That's at least $3-$5 a day. You'd think Feddie would be trying to save his money to pay his legal bills!
