Pennsylvania’s Attorney General Is Convicted on All Counts
NY Times | 08/15/16 | JESS BIDGOOD

Posted on 08/16/2016 4:39:01 AM PDT by Enlightened1

She was a rising Democratic star. She was the first in her party to be elected state attorney general. She was one of the most powerful women in Pennsylvania.

But on Monday night, Kathleen G. Kane, the state’s top prosecutor, became a convicted criminal.

A jury found Ms. Kane, 50, guilty of nine criminal charges, including perjury and criminal conspiracy, convicting her of leaking grand jury information, and then lying about it, in an effort to discredit a political rival.

Ms. Kane was caught up in a web of scandal and counterscandal, threaded with lewd emails, political rivalries and alleged leaks. It has cost other state officials, including two State Supreme Court justices, their jobs and Ms. Kane her law license, although she has remained on the job as attorney general.

Ms. Kane stared straight ahead as the word “guilty,” uttered decisively by a juror in a flowered dress, echoed nine times around the courtroom. The lawyers immediately went into a private conference with the judge, leaving Ms. Kane, who campaigned on a promise to uncover political interference in Pennsylvania, alone at the defense table.

And when Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy returned to the courtroom, she turned directly to Ms. Kane with a stern warning, her words slicing through the silence.

“There is to be absolutely no retaliation of any kind against any witness in this case, either by your own devices, from your own mouth or your hand, or directing anybody to do anything,” the judge said. She threatened Ms. Kane, who is currently free on bail, with immediate incarceration if she failed to comply.

“Is that clear, Ms. Kane?” the judge asked.

“Yes it is, your honor,” Ms. Kane said.

I might hope that somewhere a very large prison with very small cells is being prepared to hold the corrupt politicians that will soon fill it. For their sakes. Hemp and lamp posts is the alternative and they can be recycled nearly endlessly.

Truly, but she forgot that media only has enough hutzpah and influence and stamina to protect one crooked b!tch at a time. She chose poorly.

The difference is that she got caught. Hillary did not get caught.

"She was a rising Democratic star."

Sure, she'll most likely be the next Governor of Pennsylvania.. She has all skills of a well trained dimocrap... Just like the Hildabeast..!

So let me get this straight.

She is a convicted felon, but she is still functioning as Pennsylvania’s Attorney General?
