AG Kathleen Kane Charged Over Grand Jury Leaks

The Inky is reporting that AG Kathleen Kane has been charged with leaking Grand Jury information in an attempt to muddy up her perceived political enemies. The charges, filed by Montgomery County DA Risa Ferman, include perjury, official oppression, obstruction of justice and contempt of court. A member of her security detail, Pattrick Reese, has been charged with assisting her.

Since Kane has vowed to stay in office, it is now up to the legislature and Governor to remove her.

She is innocent until proven guilty, but the citizens of Pennsylvania need a top prosecutor who can focus on doing the job.

A more detailed account by investigative reporter Brad Bumstead is here. He quotes DA Ferman as saying, "No one is above the law, not even the chief law enforcement officer of the state of Pennsylvania.” ... When someone entrusted with upholding the law violates that oath, we are all victims.”

  2. Good for Wolf. he's been a disgrace to this point. I guess Dems aren't excited about her challenging Toomey anymore.

    I voted for her; another one of failed my choices/picks. I primarily voted for her because she is 1) a democrat 2) a woman 3) vowed to look into whether The Corbett administration covered up the Jerry Sandusky scandal until he was elected Governor and 4) promised to clean up corruption on all branches of government. I had a few other reasons, but these were what swayed me her way.

    Ms. Kane has been a complete embarrassment to her elected position and her political party. I don't like seeing someone "fall from grace" and actually, didn't want to see her charged (perhaps some sort of official reprimand and sanction instead), but sorry Kathleen Kane, but you brought this on yourself, and I hope you do resign and your wrongs can be righted.

  7. I voted for her because she is a Democrat and a woman. Maybe you should look at her credentials instead. That's the problem with Dems. You are all sheep who have no clue how to think for yourselves. You need the liberal media to do your thinking for you.
