The Pennsylvania Governor has known about Jerry Sandusky and his pedophilia since "at least" 2009, when he was Attorney General.
As Attorney General, Corbett was the top law enforcement individual in the state. Why didn't he make sure that these children were protected IMMEDIATELY in 2009? Was it because he was too busy running for governor...or was it because he, too, was part of the coverup?
He has been Governor since January 2011, and was automatically placed on the Penn State Board of Trustees. Why did it take until November for Jerry Sandusky to be arrested?
Sandusky is out on bail...the $100,000 unsecured bail was set by Judge Leslie Dutchcot, a volunteer for Mr. Sandusky's Second Mile Foundation!
Governor Corbett was interviewed by Christiane Amanpour on "This Week" this past Sunday. An excellent question was asked by Amanpour:
"AMANPOUR: Well, let me -- let me ask you, because this is obviously massively serious. And I understand your ethical and legal obligations. However, don't you think that the mere risk that somebody who you've been investigating for more than two years, the mere risk that he could have continued to abuse during this investigation, demanded a call to the police? Should that not have been, at the very least, something that the coach, that the president should have done??"
"CORBETT: We would have expected law enforcement to have been involved much sooner than it got involved. And as you know from newspaper reports, our office, as the attorney general became involved, not in a case related to the university, but in a case from a next-door county, Clinton County, and a school there, where Mr. Sandusky was helping out as a coach."

"AMANPOUR: What do you think? Do you think adults should take responsibility for so brazenly failing children?"
Corbett's answer: "Well, in my role as attorney general, my role as a U.S. attorney, and now as governor, I believe adults should always stand up for children."
Well Governor Corbett, that did not happen. Who looks like the "knucklehead" now?
