Pennsylvania attorney general resigns a day after conviction
MSN ^

Pennsylvania's first elected female attorney general announced her resignation Tuesday, a day after being convicted of abusing the powers of the state's top law enforcement office to smear a rival and lying under oath to cover it up.
Democrat Kathleen Kane's exit completes a spectacular fall for the former county prosecutor who soared to victory four years ago as an outsider promising to break up an "old-boys' network" in state government. She squandered her early popularity, feuded with rivals and aides and ultimately was undone by what prosecutors portrayed as a personal vendetta against her critics and perceived enemies.

One of Hillary’s “girlfriends” bites the dust. She was crooked too.

A state attorney general being forced to resign for abuse, and lying under oath should have been top news all over the nation. But I guess since we have a female AG in the top slot right now it wouldn’t look very good, wopuld it?

The arrests, convictions, and investigations in Pennsylvania that we have seen in the past few weeks may be enough to allow a Republican to win a state that he absolutely should win on message. The corrupt democrat machine has to be very nervous because there are powerful people going down and powerful people under investigation. The same crowd that always appears to “find the votes needed” in the big cities!
If Trump can take Pennsylvania he will win the White House!

This should be done to Lynch. Forcing mandates on law enforcement and municipalities across this Nation without any vote form the House or Senate! I still can’t believe that the RINOs gave her the votes!

The interesting thing is that a lot of this ‘crime’ started up prior to 2009, and they were already talking about potential charges. She was building up issues and they just kept adding to the folder. Seven years for her to reach maximum capacity, and destroy her career. Law license goes away.
To: Red Badger
She needs to go the R. Bud Dwyer resignation method.

She is a thoroughly loathesome individual who shut down a number of investigations of corruption, which has been lost in the story of her personal demise.

A VERY anti-gun rat. All rats are anti gun, but some are worse than others.
