A grand jury has recommended criminal charges against Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane. The grand jury found that she leaked secret grand jury information to a newspaper in an effort to smear political enemies. PJ Media has been covering Kane’s refusal to prosecute Pennsylvania Democrats who took bribes in order to oppose photo voter identification legislation in Pennsylvania. Philly News :
For about six months, Special Prosecutor Thomas E. Carluccio has been directing the grand jury as it has heard testimony from numerous witnesses, including Kane and many of her top aides, to determine how details of a long-ago investigation of a Philadelphia civil rights leader appeared in a Philadelphia Daily News article in June.
The article suggested that a former state prosecutor, Frank G. Fina, had fumbled that investigation, and the leak appeared to be designed to raise questions about his competence.
Kane had refused to pursue charges against four black legislators from Philadelphia for accepting bribes in exchange for votes. Kane had said the investigation conducted by her predecessor was racially motivated. There was no dispute that the legislators took bribes to oppose voter ID legislation. Seth Williams, the local Philadelphia district attorney and fellow Democrat, took on the case instead. His investigation led to the indictment of legislators for taking the bribes.
On behalf of the American Civil Rights Union, I testified to the Pennsylvania House last year that Kane should be impeached. State Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R-Cranberry) has long called for Kane’s removal from office for failing to enforce the law against political allies. Today’s grand jury finding serves as vindication for Metcalfe’s efforts.
She's been nothing but an ultrapartisan hack on the public dime.
But....What difference does it make.....?
I like that thought. :)
Bump.
Make her citizen Kane again.
Good one!
Looks like the first frost just hit hell. Outstanding!
A rabid anti-gunner. Is keel hauling considered cruel and unusual punishment for her felonious activity.
The bitch be toast! Time to clean up the corrupt Democrats who have poisoned Pennsylvania politics for so long.
I remember when a sane Arlen Spector started to do that in the 1960’s. It was a shame that it wasn’t continued.
We simply cannot put enough politicians behind bars so that the rest understand theres the right way and the wrong way. We live in an age where the old adage absolute power corrupts has never been truer.
Keel hauling works for me, they don’t require rehab after it.
She should be hanged.
People in authority who have public trust should be held to a higher standard and with significant punishments.
Nothing like death for a public official and even their family to make things dramatically more honest.
Where is Bill’s hand?
She’s getting what she deserves, but GJ leaks in PA have been a problem for a long time. One term Tommy made it an art form. The entire PA GS system needs a major overhaul.
With a rap sheet like this why she could be the next governor of Penn! She’s proving herself more democrat that even Marion Berry or Alcee Hastings!
It would probably be hard to get hanging or even keelhauling through...but there sure needs to be serious punishment for misuse of office.
Use an aircraft carrier.
Does this mean it's now up to her to prosecute herself?
