Wonder if it has anything to do with all his legal billing outside supposedly full-time job? CasablancaPA has bunch of facts and figures on it:

And, talk about karma…check out this quote from Bowman last year:
http://casablancapa.blogspot.com/2009/11/feese-re...
Finally Feese’s actions seem to have caught up with him.
Feese and Bowman aren't the only two. Others will be hauled in.
Another perp walk a-comin'?
How about Feese’s law partners Yaw and Everett?
It will be interesting to see what comes down.
I willing to see what Corbett does but I not one of his supporters.
I’ll applaud the conviction of these crooks and their punishment. None have been yet, by the way.
Corbett seems to be putting on a show when the corruption runs so much deeper.
Trials may not come for a long time. Maybe Tom should stay as Attorney General to see the cases through.
Trials were supposed to be in September, attorneys for the defense requested extensions. When they happen next spring and the defendants cry "political show", it will be by their design. "Politics" seems to be their only defense, not innocence.
Feese is a pig who has been feeding from the taxpayeer trough since he was a teenager. I first met him when he was working as an intern in the Pa Senate. He has stolen millions of taxpayer dollars under the guise of performing lega services. While collecting his big HR salary he did local municipal legal work on State time usuing HR resources, including his secretary/girlfrend. Like all PIGS, Feese will squeal. He will get Perzel and yes, indeed Sam Smith. Feese has been phoning folks in Harrisburg for months, CRYING, literally CRYING.Take away his license to practice law, make him pay restitution and put his swine-like butt in state prison. Maybe he'll run into some of the criminals he jailed while DA. Of all the character involved in this mess Feese is the lowest.
Sam Smith's mouthpiece Steve Miskin is the most pathetic flunkie ever. It was hilarious yesterday hearing members of the Capitol newsroom talk about Miskin's comments concerning Feese and Bowman. He and Smith and Tuzai know the truth. Turzai's decision NOT to run for Congress is based on his not being able to get away from this mess. If Smtih and Tuzai or NO ONE asked Feese to leave, then they damm well should have! Smith, Argall and Civera will join Perzel in the docket. How Steve Miskin can look anyone, especially his wife and kids, in their eyes, is incomprehensible. I guess if you pay someone enough, they can convince themselves that crap tastes like honey.
Miskin has no honor, or brains.
Where can you get a full list of Republicans that received letters to testify?
I'm waiting for Tom Corbett to "investigate" the other Republicans he has information about. I gave him info over a year ago and I'm not the only one. It's time to clean out all the corruption in Harrisburg, DC, and local.
And Corbett should also indict Republican Representative Mauree Gingrich for forgery and perjury, the same as he did to the Democrat, Linda Bebco-Jones.
And all of these disgraces to good government should forfeit their government pensions and any other state benefits. And no payment of legal fees defending them.
SS
Sorry Straight Shooter, courts just ruled that the House Ds have to pay DeWeese's legal costs. So all the members at least are getting that covered. Staff is a different story.
rumor has it in the capitol that if you are a house republican employee and you are indicted you are going to be sent packing, sounds like a recipe to get a lot of people spilling everything they know about what has been going on
I also heard of some high level employees who were sent the letters who have already been granted immunity so that they can spill freely, alot of people are going to go down in this, I just wonder if it will be more than the number of house dems who get indicted
Oh poor Brett O. Feese just thing of how many people you screwed through the years … They will all have the last laugh when you are sent to the can for 50 years!
Maybe so, but you could at least get the democrats name right it is Bebko-Jones.
are you a fucktard???? THE STATE FUCKED UP EVERYTHING not Feese… IF YOU MET HIM AS AN INTERN… DOESNT THAT MAKE YOU A PIG AS WELL???? YOU DIPSHITS NEED TO LEARN THAT NOT EVERYTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS….
it's interesting that the attorney general will be running for governor in a year. funny. all this attention he is now getting is helping him via for the governor seat. its amazing to what lengths people will go to get attention.
i am amazed that some people who actually work hard and try to do their best become the scapegoats for other people ambitions.
makes you wonder how much of the evidence that the AG's office is coming up with is fabricated.
since the democrats were first found out and convicted they AND the press have been screaming for republicans to be charged as well. who is to say that any of them are guilty? well i suppose if you are going to be running for governor you do not want to seem biased. so you look for someone to put the blame on. mind you it has to be a "known" someone. someone who had a high ranking job for instance.
my sympathies are with Brett Feese and his close friends who worked with them. many of whom the AG has tried to intimidate.
Brett Feese is a truly evil man who has used his office to hurt people for years. I do not feel one bit sorry for this worthless coward, he is a crminal and deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail. It will give him plenty of time to think of all of the people he has hurt through the years.
may i inquire as to the people he has supposedly trampled upon while he was in office? If Brett Feese was so evil why did people keep electing him over the year? (1995-2006) that is a heck of a long time if everyone knew he was "so evil"
I agree. Brett Feese was a wonderful representative that brought a lot of money to our area to help improve Lycoming County. How can we convict him before we really know the facts and understand what he is being charged with? Lets give him an opportunity to give his side of the story before we condemn him. And, I too agree he had been elected by the people on several occasions and he would likely have been elected again had he chose to run in 2006.
Maybe that's how he was elected over and over. The Jack Murtha method. It's not corrupt if it's for your district. Pork $$ for votes. An old technique that continues to work well and no one raises a red flag about corruption. AG's comments about Smith were intriguing.
yet many people in different counties said that he was doing a wonderful job. they were not from the lycoming county yet they said he was good.
how is it a corruption if a representative is trying to improve the county that elected him?
During the summer budget fiscal crisis in which thousands upon thousands of state employee's were going without paychecks, Corbett's Agents assigned to the bonusgate investigation were given UNLIMITED overtime. If your familiar at all with PA state office practices this is unheard of, ESPECIALLY during the budget haggling and impasse. Non political huh?
Have him explain why THAT case was more important than every other 10 million + fraud going on in this state ( VEON's BIG, Spendells 60 million a year in No bid contracts) , and why didnt he ever look into the REAL leadership (Senate R's – Jub,Scarnati, ) that will certainly help his fundraising, endorsements for next spring. my my i wonder?????
Im a registered independent and someone needs to expose this guy before we have 8 more years of corruption and fraud. Corbett and Waste Management INC. OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE HES NOT WHAT HE SEEMS!!!!
Brett Feese has done so much for Lycoming County. I believe that he is innocent until proven guilty.
If you've read the papers correctly… it seems that the AG (Corbett) is trying to pin this non-sense crap onto others. Ever notice how he's been getting A LOT more attention now, then before? Keep in mind, he's running for Governor…. or is going to be. Basically, if this makes any sense, he's trying to get more attention while trying to get some of the best top lawyers in the state arrested for a "crime they committed" but really, what proof shows of this? Have any of you in this forum notice that everything is practicably pointing at just one person?
Heck, take a look at some of the charges against everyone… they are absurd! Oh, which, keep in mind, these charges are from the AG's office!! How can they charge innocent people for something they didn't even commit? It's called dirty politics… I, myself believe that the AG (Corbett) is lying, and trying to become something he's not.
You folks need to get your facts right before stating things that aren't true. It's no wonder this country is messed up…
