Eakin Found Guilty, Fined

Eakin-SadMichael Eakin is guilty.

That’s the verdict of the Court of Judicial Discipline, who found the former Supreme Court Justice guilty of misconduct.

“The common thread of the emails, with their imagery of sexism, racism and bigotry, is arrogance,” the court wrote.

The Court asserted that Eakin’s conduct undermined public confidence in the judiciary, however, they also said his bias didn’t influence his opinions. As a result, Eakin will not have his pension removed from him.

The ex-Justice’s resignation also played a factor in him getting to keep his $153,000 annual pension.

He will, though, be fined $50,000.

  1. HaHa. You have the balls (come to think of it you don’t) to question my spelling of my username when yours is Ha followed by another Ha. You friggin clown.

  3. Ha Ha. I’ll ask you again were you arrested and imprisoned? It’s a simple question even for you. Yes or No. Why are you hiding this? Is this why you dislike the police? We can put this to an end right now. Yes or No

    1) I didn’t post kanesdriver’s address. I posted link to his LinkedIn account (which he had full control over the information therein, and hid/removed while trying to cover his tracks).

    2) I reported him to the AG’s office for disciplinary action and a review of his computer activity, as well as potential criminal charges for leaks.

    3) He pretty much dared me to out him.

    4) I post under my real name, which incurs some risks. You have no legitimate place/business posting my location/address, especially since you are engaged in a clear attempt to increase risk to me through intimidation.

    5) You like to claim (pretend) you are smart, but when you get caught violating basic posting etiquette, you act dumb, like you have “no idea” what you are doing wrong. All part of your fraudulent and hypocritical persona.

    6) Why don’t you post your real name/address so people can “thank” you?

    7) You have previously pretended to be a political “player” and implied that you’ve donated money to candidates and have influence as a donor or among donors with candidates. Well, post your real name so I and others can look YOU up in campaign finance reports. Maybe you are a Trump or Cruz or Toomey supporter. Maybe you have a criminal record. Your statements here are certainly offensive enough to get you in “trouble” with the political connections you pretend to have.

  8. WAH !!! Wahhhhhhhhhhh. my My comments!!! WAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh … All my RETARD comments are getting deleted. WAH !!!!

  9. David can post someone’s address from a public site, but here with no threat whatsoever his address can’t be posted? Why the double standard? It was posted then removed? Why? No emails in my inbox from Sy or other admins as to why the post is removed. David can dish it out but he can’t live by the same rules he sets!

  10. Unger or HahHA or Diano whoever you are. First let’s get the truth from HaHa
    Did Fina prosecute and put HaHa in jail or not. Can you post pictures here?

  11. Haha. I figured it out. When you were in prison they dressed you up as SpongeBob and you went from cell to cell. That’s why you don’t like SpongeBob.

    HaHa jailbird

  12. This bears repeating … since the troll took over with his typical nonsense (DD and Ha3 — you BOTH need to ignore him) —

    When we read about Eakin, it should be only natural to ask what is going on with Frank Fina, who sent e-mails much more disturbing than the ones sent by the now-disgraced Eakin. Some interesting questions/issues for Frank Fina:

    If Chief Deputy Attorney General Frank Fina is to be believed when he states that he thought incoming Attorney General Kathleen Kane wouldn’t prosecute the long-dormant “sting” investigation he supervised, why did he strike a deal with confidential informant Tyron B. Ali in the 11th hour, after Kane was elected? What was the rush?

    How could Fina know that Kane would not prosecute the sting case – even before she ever learned of the existence of the sting case? And if he didn’t know whether she would prosecute, then why would he turn over files to an FBI agent at the very moment Kane was being sworn in (which is the alleged timing)?

    Fina did this, he says, because he was “concerned about a conflict of interest” he decided Kane had. But, Fina’s previous boss, Linda Kelly, who actually knew about the “sting” case, also declined to pursue the sting case.

    Fina says he didn’t believe Kane would prosecute — and he somehow knew that before she even took office. Yet he signed an extraordinary agreement with con-man Tyron B. Ali – dismissing all 2,000+ charges of fraud – on November 30, 2012. That’s just 24 days after Kane, whom he believed would not prosecute, was elected. And before she was sworn in as AG.

    Oh – and Fina, in that same deal, also let Mr. Ali keep the over $400,000.00 he stole from PA taxpayers.

    An extraordinary deal indeed. Bruce Beemer (who testified against Kane) called Fina’s deal with Ali “unjust.” Dismissal of more than 2,000 charges of fraud. In exchange for testimony in a case that Fina believed would not be pursued. In a case his previous boss (Linda Kelly; not Kane) had declined to pursue.

    It’s looking more and more as though the case was, as editorial boards have speculated, “a ‘welcome present’ designed to blow up in [Kane’s] face.”

    And now we know that Frank Fina and Ali have THE SAME LAWYER. His name is Bob Levant.

    Fina and Levant are now suing Kane and the AG’s Office for more taxpayer $$$. Seth Williams just gave Bob Levant’s wife a cushy government job where she gets to say bad things in the Press about Kane and the AG’s Office and good things about Frank Fina (her husband’s client in a case against the AG’s Office). She also gets to hang up on reporters asking why the Johnny Doc mob attack case was being swept under the rug.

    Not too long ago, before his racist e-mails and “unjust” plea deals were made public, Frank Fina was saying he wanted a televised debate with Kane. Now – it’s nothing but “No comment” from Frank Fina and his best buddy – Seth Williams.

    Hope the Feds come for them sooner rather than later!!

  13. Diano Free Country now you want people to post elsewhere I don’t think so not until you are exposed as the fraud and liar that you are and the entire Democratic Party will know. You intentionally false post information when asked for proof you post stuff that is opposite what you just posted. Nobody wants nor cares about your stupid lists that’s why you don’t have any buisness.

    HaHa You nothing but a fool and now everyone knows why you hate Fina. Was he the man that put you in prison? Come tell us the answer

  14. SpongeRetardPAResident can’t answer a simple question. He says it is public record what was I in jail for (as if). That poor pathetic RETARD. He just keeps getting OWNED. Pretty soon, he’ll tell us about his friends’ little retarded kids and how his friends want to “meet us.” He may be most embarrassing FOXtard on the internet.

  15. DD – You have to stop engaging that troll. He LIVES FOR your interaction – like all pathetic trolls. Why give it to him??

    Just sing this HaHaHa written song with me:

    Are you ready kids? “Aye Aye Captain”
    I can’t hear you! “AYE AYE CAPTAIN”
    Oohh…
    Who lives on his knees and drinks lots of TEA?
    “SpongeBob RETARD”
    Stupid and yellow and troll-lik is he!
    “SpongeBob RETARD”
    If Repervlican nonsense be something you wish
    “SpongeBob RETARD”
    Then drop to your knees and suck like a fish!
    “SpongeBob RETARD”
    READY?
    “SpongeBob RETARD”
    “SpongeBob RETARD”
    “SpongeBob RETARD”
    SPONGEBOB RETARD !! AH AHH AHH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH…

  16. SpongeBob-

    You are such a fraud. And, you are full of sh*t that you didn’t know what you were implying. Clearly the site admins did and acted appropriately.

    If you don’t like it, go post somewhere else.

  17. If the threat was so clearly implied what was it? Please help me understand the wording that you feel was suggesting someone harm you? I said that I hoped that if you ever needed the police they did not know that on this site you display a severe dislike for those in that profession. If you feel that I was asking for someone to harm you then accept my apologies. That would go against what I believe. Even when you call me names or imply inappropriate things about me I would not wish physical violence on you. Plus I imagine based on how you act you have gotten your ass kicked quite enough already.

  18. SpongeBob-

    You were making a clearly implied threat encouraging police to harm me and misrepresenting my statements to encourage such behavior.

    I didn’t post anyone’s address. Kanesdriver, posted his own address, profession and resume on LinkedIn. I merely identified Kanesdriver as a member of law enforcement abusing his position, and being foolish enough to leave evidence that he was improperly attempting to investigate and harass me.

  21. The RETARD troll is, literally, losing his mind. 4:08 pm comment apropos of nothing!!

  22. See, DD?

    I told you that SpongeBob = kanesdriver

    “you had no issue posting the address of someone on here multiple times.”

  23. David, I clearly said contact Sy or other site admins. I do not believe you are an admin.

    As for your address and threats. Point out the threat. What words were threatening. you had no issue posting the address of someone on here multiple times. Why are you such a hypocrite?

    You MO is that you act like a little child when someone disagrees with you. You are a Cop hating, disabled child hating know it all who thinks his opinion is the only one that matters. Why do I need to say who I am on here? Why is it that important? Why not ask the same of your fanboy HaHaHa?

  24. SpongeBob-

    Do you think I’m an admin on this site? (If so, you are in HUGE f*cking trouble)

    Your “MO” is to be a lying, stinking, woman-hating and minority-hating weasel.

    Posting threats and addresses together is wrong, and you don’t seem to know better or care. You just keep digging yourself a deeper hole.

    If you are paid by govt for jobs/contracts (as you’ve implied), you are probably listed publicly as well. Why so afraid of admitting who you are? You must have some big problems to cover up and hide.

  25. David,My point was I am posting from the same device this entire time. And are you trying to tell me while using a mobile device I would change IP’s and have 2 profiles on the site that I was posting to….all within seconds? Why would I need multiple profiles to say things I have said before? That’s not my MO. I have posted the same things over and over from the same account. Now others on here have many personalities and post their drivel over and over. Why are you having my posts deleted? Why do you oppose speech? Why are you so easily scared by words? If you are so worried about your address being out there maybe you should not run a business that requires that to be public record.

  26. LOL … So the con-man who got to keep the $430,000.00 he stole from PA taxpayers is now protecting the man, Frank Fina, who let him keep the loot? Tyron Ali is helping Frank Fina. Wow!! I’m shocked … lNOT!! That have the same lawyer – Bob Levant.

    http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20160329_Undercover_operative_in_sting_case_denies_racial_targeting.html

    Are they going to ask Ali about the fact that he and Fina have the SAME LAWYER? Are they going to ask him why Fina was in such a big rush to drop all 2,000+ fraud related charges against Ali after Kane was arrested?

    Are they going to ask him if he knows Seth Williams’ new “Chief of Staff” and General Counsel” – Kathy Martin?

    This “sting” case is a STEAMING PILE OF DUNG. Kane was the 3rd or 4th Prosecutor to reject it (including the Feds). I’d bet a million bucks that Seth Williams wishes he had rejected it too.

    Kane’s 1st Assistant sent a memo saying that Frank Fina’s “deal” with Tyron Ali was “unjust.” He said that the targeting of African Americans was “improper.” Yes — that’s the same Bruce Beemer that testified against Kane in the PA Senate’s hearing.

  27. SpongeBob-

    Really? I can’t have your IP address?

    Man, you are so f*cking gullible to even respond to that. You should hide in bed all day this coming Friday if you can’t take an easy joke like that.

    “He should be able to see it’s 2 different people because its not coming from the same place”

    Did you learn that watching spy-kids? You really don’t know sh*t about technology.

    I can post from my phone and pull a different IP address every time, if I wanted. Duh. So your denial means nothing.

    You like to be a bully and threaten people by trying to take debates here into the real world and incite physical confrontations and intimidation.

    Post your real name, and stop being such a f*cking coward.

    Is your real address readily available on some child predator list or other warning for neighborhoods and parents?

  28. He can’t even type his fake screen-name in right!! Earlier today, it was:

    “Democratic Pa. Resident”

    and now it is:

    “Democratic PA Resident”

  29. Wow. What a coincidence!! “Democratic PA Resident” is typing the same stuff the RETARD TROLL has typed 1,000 times here:

    “Now what were you arrested for today. Let’s tell everyone why Fina put you in jail. It’s a matter of public record.”

    OK, Mr. Resident. If it is “a matter of public record,” do tell: what was I in jail for???

    LOL

    He can’t even type his fake screen-name in right!! Earlier today, it was

    “Democratic Pa. Resident”

    and now it is:

    “Demnocratic PA Resident”

    What a stupid idiot!!

  30. HaHa Don’t want to make it appear you were arrested today at least not yet. But did they take a picture of you when you were arrested. Wow, it’s amazing the resemblance you have with a guy who was arrested.

  31. Oh look!! The moron thinks he got over on us: “Hell there is a post with the same time stamp so that should be an easy clue.” What a pathetic ASS-CLOWN.

    Totally OWNED. Again!!

  32. Diano. you are such an ass. No wonder your buisness is failing and no new customers on the horizon. Oh well. Your anti police rhetoric dosent play well for those Dems running for reelection across the board. I know a few bankruptcy lawyers I could recommend.

    HaHa Shut up or get my posts deleted. Don’t forget to pick up Diano on the way to your new job oh yeah that’s what you did in work release. Now what were you arrested for today. Let’s tell everyone why Fina put you in jail. It’s a matter of public record.

  33. I am not saying you should get my ip address. I am saying HE should be able to clearly see IP address. He should be able to see it’s 2 different people because its not coming from the same place. Hell there is a post with the same time stamp so that should be an easy clue. That should shut the felon with multiple identities and you up rather nicely. Also why the did you ask for my posts to be deleted in the first place? opposing views too scary for you?

  34. WAH !!! Wahhhhhhhhhhh. My comments!!! WAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh … All my RETARD comments are getting deleted. WAH.

  35. “I am not the other person. I am me. Myself is me. I am I. He is he. Or she is she. But me is me.”

  36. SpongeBob-

    Nice try, but we know you are also posting as “Democratic Pa. Resident”. No one would help you or repeat your threats against me.

    Face it. You accidentally posted as Democratic Pa. Resident, and now you are trying to pretend and cover it up.

    You want me to ask Sy?

    So, you are authorizing him to give me the IP addresses and email addresses used for the “SpongeBob” and “Democratic Pa. Resident” of the past 24 hours?

    Thanks!

  37. HaHa Shut up or get my posts deleted you coward
    Diano. Better get ready for your new job as your old one goes BYE BYE

  38. It’s not me. As I have said in the past ping Sy or whoever and do what they do to check. I post under one name and one name only. Unlike others here I don’t invent imaginary friends to help me out. Whenever I call you out David, I do it the same every time. Like I did when you had my posts deleted when I posted the publically available address where people list you for payment purposes for you voter app.

  39. When we read about Eakin, it should be only natural to ask what is going on with Fina. Some interesting questions/issues for Frank Fina:

  40. DD – sometimes he posts as a cross-dresser named “Brandy.” He’s a pathetic FOXtard.

  41. Democratic Pa Resident (SpongeBob)-

    Why the new handle? (and why pretend to be a Democrat, when you are against Dem principles?)

    You seem to be having an identity crisis. Or maybe it’s just all your constant lying catching up to you.

  42. HaHa. Shut up or get my posts deleted you coward
    Rskrloff whatever Tell Sy again so he can delete my posts otherwise shut up
    Diano. Get your going out of buisness sign ready

  43. Speaking of farts – did Seth Williams have a brain fart?? How can anyone with half a brain think it’s a good idea to demote a high-performing female employee who spoke out in favor of firing Fina and Costanzo? That’s ILLEGAL. And, on top of the illegality of it, it turns out she was right too.

    Williams wouldn’t be getting CRUSHED by just about every civic and political leader in Philadelphia if he had listened to the Deputy last Summer instead of demoting her. The Philadelphia Magazine article suggested that she questioned the judgment of prosecutors who would use their Government equipment on racist/sexist material. In other words – it seems that she was less concerned much with the political correctness of the e-mails as she was the judgment of the people who would send them at work.

    I guess desperate men do desperate things. Williams is REALLY getting desperate:

    http://articles.philly.com/2016-03-15/news/71513917_1_d-a-williams-new-pac-campaign

  45. Uh oh, DD!! He is turning to his BLAST LIST !!!!! Whatever will you do?!?

    OMG – he gets more and more pathetic every day. Sad. And funny at the same time.

  46. Sy Snyder has been informed of the troll’s recent activities. I am sure his posts will soon disappear.

  47. I am not the other person commenting. Why is it if someone else posts comments on here the assumption is always its one person? Is that because HaHaHa posts as 12 people?

  48. HaHa Shut up or get my posts deleted you coward.
    Diano Amazing how you don’t refute proof of your lies. I’m gonna use my blast list for informational purposes among the legislators noting your anti police posts. Tell me how your buisness is going later on.

  49. With Eakin gone, we need to get some answers on why the prosecutors in Philly are still getting paid with taxpayer monies and still not suspended by the Disciplinary Board.

    A Complaint against Frank Fina was filed with the Disciplinary Board after the Superior Court found that Fina lied to the Court in the Penn State 3 case (against the administrators). The Court ruled that Fina’s conduct was “highly improper.”

    Wonder why it is taking the Disciplinary Board so long to suspend Fina’s law license.
    I mean – they already know what he used his Government computer to distribute. The material Fina distributed was much worse than what Judge Eakin sent. And Eakin was just forced off the Bench.

    The Disciplinary Board needs to act. Prosecutors cannot be allowed to get away with disgraceful, dishonest conduct (no lawyer should). Faith in the Criminal Justice System is paramount. Right now – there are corrupt racists masquerading as prosecutors in Philadelphia.
