Discussion: Embattled Attorney General Kathleen Kane Won't Seek Another Term

Discussion for article #246059

I did vote for her, but she’s been a dismal failure. I’m glad she’s seen the handwriting on the wall.

Cute, but sounds dumb as a box of rocks.

Kane was an attorney at Post & Schell P.C., a Philadelphia law firm, from 1991 to 1995 and handled civil cases. From 1995 to 2007, she served as an assistant district attorney for Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, where she prosecuted hundreds of sex-abuse, elder abuse, murder, assault, rape, public corruption, and fraud cases. In 2007, Kane worked for a private law firm in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and took a position with the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.

The above is from wiki. But go with the cliched sexists comment anyway.

… revealing her decision hours before a deadline to submit signatures to make the primary ballot.

So the final scandal of her time in office – who did she give advance notice of her decision not to run so they would know to collect signatures and get on the ballot for a job nobody knew would be open?

Some time ago … last year, I think … one of commenters who was deep in the weeds of PA politics presented a whole different picture of this story that portrayed her in a much different light.

On the contrary, she appears quite intelligent and resourceful. The Grand Jury indictment is from deep-red (Republican) Montgomery county, and I disbelieve any GJ results after closely following a few recent GRs, such as the Ferguson debacle. It is quite possible that this is a ā€œham sandwichā€ indictment, as revenge for her releasing some of the racist and pornographic emails.

Used to be in this country that one is innocent until proven guilty. I will await the trial this August before passing judgement. However, she did not have a chance at re-election with this hanging over her head.

This is sure messy. I don’t see how she has any choice but to go right now since she lost her license to practice law.

I’m sorry, but this is completely unhelpful without either (1) at least some vague description of what that whole different picture is or (preferably) (2) a link to that whole different picture.

You are sorry … your comment is ā€˜completely unhelpful’, unhelpful and unfriendly comnmenter.

You apparently miss some of our really deep and contemplative conversations here that actually elicit as much ā€˜on the ground’ intel from those who know as we can get.

All I was trying to do is spur some memory of that really great conversation we had at the earlier stages of this story.

Please don’t try to scold me, Skippy.
