On this week’s Radio PA Roundtable, coverage of a press conference this week during which the state’s Attorney General named a special prosecutor to investigate tens of thousands of pornographic and otherwise offensive emails found on state computers.

Just prior to Tuesday’s event, uncensored pornographic images – presumably from some of the emails in question – were displayed on a large screen in the auditorium where the press conference was held.
