Fina Transferred to Different Department

frank finaApparently, Seth Williams is still deciding what to do.

Previously the Philadelphia District Attorney was content to give the men working in his office who were involved in the infamously lewd emails just a session of “sensitivity training”.

Now, however, William Bender of the Daily News is reporting that Fina, Costanzo and Blessington are all being transferred within Williams’ office.

Frank Fina and Marc Costanzo will be moved from Special Investigations to Civil Litigation and Appeals respectively. Meanwhile, Pat Blessington is going from Insurance Fraud to the Post Conviction Relief Action Unit.

According to Bender the changes take effect on Monday and were only recently announced to staff via email.

  1. Yikes … He is falling apart at the seams. Scary to watch. Seriously – I worry for his family … and neighbors.

  2. He won’t go unchallenged. His discredited rep colors his words and all those who cover for him or speak against calling him out are hate enablers.

  3. What time do they shut down the computers at the mental institution where this loser-troll lives?

  4. You name is :

    Iskabibble VonButterworth !!!!

    There – I said it. And – no … My Mommy says I am just a little “slow.”

  5. Sick of hearing about these scummy lawyers and their sickening porn. Anyone else working anywhere else would have already been fired. Get rid of them!!!!!!!

  6. Oh boy … Looks like Troll-boy is coming unglued again. I am starting to think he really is retarded and that’s why he gets so upset ….

    Troll-boy – if that is true, just let us know. We will take it easy on you.

  7. Really, Triangle Tavern? You liked coming on here and reading all the anti-Semitic “R-tard” comments?

    You take your time to speak out now against those defending disabled Americans instead of just urging HaHaHa to apologize for his hate, really?

  8. Let’s get back on point. This article is about Fina. Allow me to re-post the recent poll results. Why does Seth Williams insist on continuing to employ this scum-bag??

    *** Should Seth Williams Fire Frank Fina? ***

    Yes (77%)
    No (23%)

    Is he just trying to prove a point? Have his anti-Kane feelings taken over his brain? Or – does he just not care? The guy is BAD NEWS.

  9. I never comment here. But that troll is littering this board. I used to enjoy reading these posts. He is ruining it. Hope PoliticsPA bans him from here.

  10. It’s easy. I am voting for “Terry the Unsanctioned Dogloving SpongeBob”

    As long as you aren’t calling me “Latty the Groupie Troll”!!

  11. So true, DD.

    With all the attention on the contents of their e-mails, I am surprised the Press is giving Williams a pass on his hiring of Fina’s lawyer’s wife … who is also Tyron Ali’s lawyer’s wife.

    Word is no one in the DA’s Office is allowed to talk to or e-mail Williams without “going through” Fina’s lawyer’s wife first. If that is true – has he completely lost his mind?

  12. I really don’t think there’s that many ignorant haters on here. But, I do think that the GamerGaters have gotten the one or two to expose all (or some) of their pen names.

  13. HaHaHa-

    I’ve completely lost track of the trolls posting under fake names. Only you know which of the HaHaHa postings are really you (except for the obvious ones insulting “yourself”).

  14. DD –

    Fina won’t get a job unless Corbett can talk the frackers into hiring him.

    I really hope he doesn’t go all Bud Dwyer on us.

    What is your vote on the troll’s nickname?

  15. Maybe SpongeBob can get Fina a job testing the firewall filters at the DA’s office to see if the porn site blocking is working.

  16. These are the same democrats who cheered on the racist Chris Martinez commenter. No surprises here. Reading up on GamerGate. Interesting stuff.

  17. Hold on … I need to add another option:
    – re-Tor-d
    – pathetic loser
    – troll-boy
    – troll-goy
    – Terry the Unsanctioned Dogloving SpongeBob
    – WAH Wah Crybaby Whiner

  18. HaHaHa is paid to troll. I guess that’s gainfully employed.

    So, we know that Pat Unger likes to drop the R-word too. Kinda hypocritical, don’t you think, Pat?

  19. Another “R-tard” spewing sympathizer raises her hand. Why not condemn the hate speech instead of attacking the messenger, Marie? I thought the readers here were interested in social justice. Apparently not!

    Marie and the rest of those called out care more about protecting the narrative and one of their hate-filled own than they do about offending a few R-tards. They must just be tools for your target of the day. What phonies!

  20. Questions for Seth Williams: What “department” did you transfer them to? Does that “department” still handle cases where women or minorities may be involved? Are these racists and misogynists still drawing their salaries from me and the other citizens of this great, diverse city?

    They have no business being prosecutors – no matter what “department” they are in.

  21. Well — “troll-goy” is the funniest (by far) because of how it uses his fascination with your typo against him. But – my vote will be for:

    “re-Tor-d” because he is an obvious retard who goes by “Tor” (when he isn’t going by “Larry” or the other names you have in your final choice).

    Well done, Ha3.

  22. HaHaHa continues to let himself get owned because he won’t apologize but chooses to offend even more. Free Speech-1, Hatefilled Fina Haters-0

  23. New poll:

    What is the best nickname for the troll?

    – re-Tor-d

    – pathetic loser

    – troll-boy

    – troll-goy

    – Terry the Unsanctioned Dogloving SpongeBob

  24. Pat Unger, please apologize for defending HaHaHa’s hate speech, unless you agree with him.

  25. Should Seth Williams Fire Frank Fina?

    Yes (77%)
    No (23%)

    This Poll says it all. And the videos Fina allegedly liked to watch at work (on the taxpayers’ dime) have not even come out yet. They are said to include:

    – bestiality

    – graphic violence against women

    – a woman having “sex” with a snake

    – a 100 year-old woman engaged in intercourse

    – a man opening a champagne bottle and shoving it in a woman’s vagina

  26. Frank Fina better hope his lawyer can get him the same kind of deal he got Tyron Ali.

    Remember – Ali the con-man was charged with an elaborate fraud where he stole over $400,000.00 from a non-profit set up to help children. The money was taxpayer money.

    But Fina not only dropped all the charges against Ali … he also let him keep the $400K he stole from us.

    Now – it turns out that Fina the prosecutor and Ali the con-man have the same lawyer. And that lawyer’s wife was just hired off the street to be Seth Williams’ “Chief of Staff” and “General Counsel”

    Can’t make this stuff up.

  27. Even more bad news for Williams and Fina:

    http://www.newsworks.org/index.php/local/off-mic/88758-nasty-stuff-porngate-plot-thickens-

    Seems like the whole world is now onto them. Their charade is over. And Williams is now shuffling the deck chairs …

    Here is a list of the leaders who have called for the racists and misogynists to be fired:

    Former Phila DA First Assistant (this is now confirmed)
    President of The National Organization of Women
    Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association
    President of the Pennsylvania Bar Association
    Black Clergy Leaders
    Leaders of NAACP
    Sen. Anthony Williams
    Congressman Bob Brady
    Future Senator Katie McGinty
    Councilwoman Maria Quiñones Sánchez
    Councilwoman Cindy Bass,
    Councilwoman Blackwell,
    Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown
    Councilwoman Marian Tasco
    Councilman Curtis Jones
    Councilman Wilson Goode Jr.,
    Councilman William Greenlee,
    Councilman Kenyatta Johnson

  28. Say what you want/ignore them, but the #GamerGaters have exposed the insensitivity of the lefty trolls. Their silence in response to the evidence of their hypocrisy is DEAFENING. Am I surprised? Not in the least.

  29. That’s right B-team…Do not expect apologies from the Fina bashers for their anti-Semitic words or sympathies or their words hurting and disparaging the mentally handicapped. They are what you expect they are. Lying bullies who know PPA doesn’t out anyone. Here is a “safe space” for haters, their defenders, AND for people of decency who expose them. If it wasn’t, everything would grind to a stop. #HaHaHaLiesAndIsOwnedAgain

  30. DA WILLIAMS and his HOT GHETTO MESS

    http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20151204_Porngate_morphs_into_a__Hot_Ghetto_Mess_.html

    Wonder why philly.com is not allowing comments.

    Councilwoman Bass said she was pleased that Attorney General Kathleen Kane has hired a special prosecutor to review the emails and determine what role, if any, they played in the handling of criminal cases.

    “We really just want to get to the bottom of it and get all the facts to restore the public’s confidence in the District Attorney’s Office,” Bass said.

  31. DD – See how the troll-boy is just looking for a response from you? He is a pathetic LOSER that lives for the attention your response gives him. Don’t fall for it.

    DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS.

  32. Perhaps Williams had a deal with Fina And Costanzo. Maybe that deal was that if they succeeded in keeping their e-mails (maybe Williams didn’t know they were corrupt and racist) a secret, he would keep them on. But – if it came out and it looked like they were going to be arrested, they would leave. Perhaps the “transfer” is just getting them away from the grand jury and giving them a couple weeks to find new jobs.

    Assuming DA Williams is reasonable (which I continue to do) and smart (not so sure anymore), that may explain this “Mess” he has created.

  33. Honestly, who is surprised by the names of the commenters who would rather attack GG than to admonish the hate speech?

    Why would PPA block (to their credit, they don’t seem to have done that) or give out identifying information of commenters who call out those who use and defend hurtful words?

  34. If anyone is curious about the “sanction” the Special Independent Prosecutor received when he was Maryland Attorney General, see below, from an interview withMr. Gansler:

    First, can you tell me about the ethics complaints — dating, I believe, from 2002 — related to public statements regarding criminal cases in Maryland?

    “What do you want to know? First of all, I don’t think that’s relevant at all to this inquiry.”

    Q: You’re a new public figure to most Pennsylvanians. People are interested in your background.

    “I was very proud of being sanctioned by our Court of Appeals. I was a public official publicly reading a public document. I was at a number of press conferences involving serial killers and homicides. The documents handed out to press at press conferences, I read those documents aloud.

    “The genesis of the whole deal was when I was state’s attorney, there was a 23-year-old Internet pedophile. You remember, this was back when these guys would talk to girls on the Internet and then try…”

    Q: Try to go to their homes? Yes.

    “This guy was literally caught in this 13-year-old girl’s closet with his pants around his ankles . . . One particular judge told the father, ‘it takes two to tango.’ His daughter was involved. The guy was saying she’d be permanently scarred. (The judge) gave the (defendant) an 18-month sentence and he was out in nine months, so I went after (the judge) publicly because I thought it was an inappropriate sentence. The judges rallied around him.”
