Oh now this is rich.  The Democrat candidate for A.G. takes the position that the election law that his consultant is accused of violating is unenforceable?  Are you kidding?  It looks like Pennsylvania’s John Morganelli is trying to take pages and chapters from disgraced former Ohio Democrat A.G. Marc Dann’s play book.  Nah, nobody’s playing politics here.  That is just tooooo rich!  From the Morning Call:

Morganelli, who has hired Severson for his political campaigns, is challenging Attorney General Tom Corbett in the November election.

The county Republican Party claimed last year that the mailers violated state campaign laws. Severson said the GOP was a force behind the investigation. Bob Kilbanks, county GOP chairman last year, said the issue isn’t politically motivated and had nothing to do with the Corbett-Morganelli race. ”We had to take a stand in the community,” he said of the GOP’s call for a probe of the anonymous campaign literature.

Severson said to his knowledge he has never broken state election laws in the more than 20 years he’s been in business. He hasn’t been called to testify, he said.

Barron, no longer county Democratic Committee treasurer, said, ”You always have to think there may be some sort of politics involved.” The attorney general’s office did not return calls for comment Thursday afternoon. Morganelli and Monahan were also unavailable.

Another grand jury witness, Pat Vulcano Jr, president of Easton Area School Board, said he was asked only about the use of his bulk mailing permit for the anonymous campaign mailers against Monahan, a local attorney. Vulcano said he’s allowed dozens of people to use his mailing permit over the past three decades and said he had no way of knowing who used it for the Monahan mailers.
