Despite a Hail Mary pass to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, seeking to invoke that tribunal's "King's Bench" powers, it appears likely that embattled AG Kathleen Kane will finally face the music on Monday. That's when her perjury trial is expected to begin. It will be the second time this Summer that a high ranking Democrat faces trial. For Chaka Fattah, it was political corruption. For Kane, it is lying to a Grand Jury.
Though Trump's campaign has finally imploded, these little incidents are bound to hurt Democrats running for state office.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Don't underestimate her lawyer, the brilliant Dick Sprague and his team.
ReplyDeleteI dn't think his firm represents her, which is futher proof of his brilliance.
ReplyDeleteHe did represent her as recently as '15 at any rate. I haven't seen anything to indicate he's dropped her as a client, but I haven't looked very hard either, so you may be right...
ReplyDeleteHe did not represent her in 2015. He did represent her in connection with a possible defamation suit against the Inky, and that was in 2014. No suit was filed. His representation of her in that matter does not make him her lawyer for everything. I have checked, and no one in Sprague's firm is representing her in the criminal case.
ReplyDeleteI suspect your comment was made for reasons completely unrelated to this topic. I am not going to let you turn this blog into a battleground in that war.
