I didn't realize she was hot.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General, Ms. Kathleen Kane, was convicted of nine charges, two of which are felonies.
"NORRISTOWN, Pa. — 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."

I wonder if she'll spend one night in jail. If two Supreme Court Justices lost their seats on the bench over this I'd love to know the details of the original bribery investigation but I haven't found them yet.
You think Obama will pardon her?
She's a democrat.
I agree, political corruption, is by far the the most harmful crime to society.Good news!
And guilty on all 9 counts - two of which are felonies!
Should happen more often, Dem, Repub, Indie, alike! :thumbs:
Yes - and it's a sad reflection that we get so overly elated when a dirty politico goes to jail, because criminality in the political class is so rarely brought to justice ...I agree, political corruption, is by far the the most harmful crime to society.
People do not see it, but Mexico and places like it are the destination when political corruption becomes accepted as commonplace.Yes - and it's a sad reflection that we get so overly elated when a dirty politico goes to jail, because criminality in the political class is so rarely brought to justice ...
