Beemer was chief of staff for Kelly, he along with Fina, Carlausso, McGitten, established the trumped-up and false charges to helped bring the three amigos to trial.gov wolf has just nominated Bruce Beemer to take over as the AG until new one is elected and takes office next year
Beemer who testified that he didn't sign a secrecy pledge and then was proven to have lied....or I mean misremember?

Beemer was chief of staff for Kelly, he was one of the primary persons that helped bring the three amigos to trial. He told Kane last year not to drop the case to prosecute Curly, Spanier & Shultz ..."it's a slam dunk according to Beemer." Kane gave him permission to bring the three to trial, where did that go? He was baiting Kane to prosecute.
Now that Beemer is the AG, will we finally see some justice for the three after 5 years awaiting trial?
He isn't running for re-election. Shapiro is the Democratic candidate, and Rafferty is the Republican. Beemer will only be the AG until the new one is sworn in in January 2017.I would assume that Beemer would run for AG. Whether he proceeds against C/S&S would depend on which way he thinks he can get the most political traction. Guilt or innocence is not the issue. Re-election is. Its always been the case.
Was it really a vote FOR Wolf or was it a vote AGAINST Tommy Two Tone?I don't think I'll be voting for Wolf next time.

The Tom Wolf who was "supposed" to be on top of the situation wrt Dambly.....then gave him another $11,000,000 of our money
The Tom Wolf who had ONE proxy on the BOT (Hangar) who was willing to actually open his mouth and question WTF was going on......then decided that he should "move on".
The Tom Wolf who didn't have 30 seconds to comment on any of the GJ manipulations, GJ leaks, ex-parte issues, COIs on the Supreme Court, etc etc.....but couldn't wait for the word bubbles to dissipate before he cranked out statements imploring KK to resign "for the good of the Commonwealth"
THAT Tom Wolf?
LOL Might as well make it a clean sweep.
I don't think I'll be voting for Wolf next time.
I would expect that Beemer is confirmed by 9/15. Likely sooner than that date, but I would be surprised if it was past that date.FWIW - I also understand that Castor's name was nominated as well.
Not knowing how this all works - I just wonder how long it takes the Senate to get their act together, vote & make it official.
Careful Biacto, your scatalogical references are becoming more and more frequent which may be a violation of your reinstatement conditions. You've been a good boy under your new moniker but we all know it's just a matter of time until you tell someone to "go pump a Fleet". Although they may be a deserving Pittiot, PNL Troll or general "POS", it could result in (another) suspension of privileges! Nobody wants to see you meet that fate (again)!Yes, that Tom wolf, the cabbage fart who "is aware of the situation at Penn State", yet has done exactly shit.
Jake controls the Senate vote.FWIW - I also understand that Castor's name was nominated as well.

Corman?I would expect that Beemer is confirmed by 9/15. Likely sooner than that date, but I would be surprised if it was past that date.

Ya never know Forest.......life IS like a box of choc-o-latesI would assume that Beemer would run for AG. Whether he proceeds against C/S&S would depend on which way he thinks he can get the most political traction. Guilt or innocence is not the issue. Re-election is. Its always been the case.
FWIW, Gansler AND Castor both had plenty of time to initiate (if not complete) their tasks.Great. I'm sure we can expect the release of Gansler's report & launch of the Second Mile investigation any time now.

Now that you mentioned style, you're right.How dare you sully the name of Capone by comparing him to the low life scum of the second rate commonwealth of pennsylvania. Al had style.
Yes, that Tom wolf, the cabbage fart who "is aware of the situation at Penn State", yet has done exactly shit.
Investigate TSM, for real this time.What situation is that? The one where 5 years removed from the Sandusky conviction and most everyone has moved on or is there another one? Specifically, what would you have him do?
How about the "situation" where they fish or cut bait on CSS??? Can YOU make that happen with your "friends"? Nah...didn't think so....What situation is that?
Or maybe the situation dealing with reforming the Board, where it was to be made smaller, not larger to accommodate more sycophants and toadies.What situation is that? The one where 5 years removed from the Sandusky conviction and most everyone has moved on or is there another one? Specifically, what would you have him do?
The actions of Beemer - - - and Corman - - - and, now, Wolf - certainly make Castor look good by comparison.FWIW - this is what I understand the scenario to now be.
1. Castor is now hamstrung on dropping the PSU 3 charges with this new maneuver. Imagine that!
2. Any credible investigation into Second Mile most likely will be dropped. Gee, I wonder why?
3. Gansler's report could be in the cross hairs as well, altho efforts are ongoing to get that info out into the public realm.
4. It's obvious "they" i.e. the Senator(s) don't want Castor continuing in office.
5. The Senate could get their act together and vote shortly after Labor Day.
So - it is suggested that those of you that are concerned with this new development - contact your Senator and vociferously register your complaint(s).
Here's a sample argument:
With news of this nomination, it is imperative to get Bruce Beemer on public record with regard to how he would handle an investigation of The Second Mile. Thus far, every Attorney General candidate running up to the primary made very strong statements favoring an investigation; and then the Solicitor General actually put the wheels in motion. With all of these legal minds in unanimous agreement that there is reason to take a closer look at Second Mile — for the first time in five years — it would be quite unsettling to consider a new interim Attorney General who believed, or acted, otherwise.
Not to mention, Bruce Beemer's position on the prosecution of the three PSU administrators seems to be in direct conflict with having an open mind about the obvious and undeniable role and responsibility of Sandusky’s charity.
It is imperative that Doug Gansler and Buckley Sandler issue their findings unimpeded, and as soon as possible. The public across the Commonwealth deserves a fair and complete record of all ex parte communications and possible collusion and unethical conduct of state officials, prosecutors, law enforcement and the judiciary in whom we have placed our complete trust.
Lastly, Bruce Beemer will be a lame duck in 10 weeks. Why the rush to place yet another face to the Attorney General when the citizens will vote on a new one in 2 months? Most likely it will be Montgomery County Commissioner Josh Shapiro, one who has worked cooperatively with Bruce Castor over the years and for whom Mr. Castor could very nicely tee up a smooth transition for Mr. Shapiro into the Office of Attorney General. The same could be said of Sen. Rafferty, should he win the November election.
Why the rush to nominate a lame duck?
Feel free to embellish to your personal style.
Or maybe the situation dealing with reforming the Board, where it was to be made smaller, not larger to accommodate more sycophants and toadies.
Beemer being less than a "perfect answer"? Yes, and cyanide gas is less than the "perfect answer" as an asthma treatment . Maybe Franky Fina would be worse, but he must not have been availableBeemer may not be the perfect answer but only in bizarro world would people expect a convicted felon to be able to name their own replacement. Plus what the heck has castor done to deserve any support.

Castor was second in command, and in any other scenario would have - without question and without raising an eyebrow - filled out the remaining three months. Any other gymnastics would be ludicrous
The hyperbole of a "convicted felon selecting her own replacement" is rather Zipay-Ish.
The fact that the "power block" has been reacting like a bunch of firemen - sliding down the fire pole on their way to a four alarm blaze - all falling over one another to get Beemer in charge of the office..........well, even Stevie Wonder can make out that scene
Alas
