HARRISBURG, Pa. - Facing criminal charges, relieved of her law license and threatened with removal by the Legislature, Pennsylvania's attorney general seems to have decided that if she has to go, she's going to take others down with her.
Since all three branches of state government began moving against her over the past year, Kathleen Kane has released hundreds of sexually explicit or otherwise crude emails that had been sent or received by current or former public officials on their government accounts.
The tangled scandal has led to the downfall of a state environmental secretary and shamed a state police commissioner, a Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice and several former top officials in the attorney general's office. Another high-court justice resigned after newspapers disclosed his involvement.
Kane has threatened to release more, and the state Capitol is ablaze with speculation about whose emails may be next in the drip-drip-drip of disclosures.
"It's a mess. It's just a freaking mess," said John Morganelli, the Northampton County district attorney and a Democrat who at one time supported Kane. "Accusations and counter-accusations. And it gets worse every day. It's like going into a war zone."

Tyranny?
Democrats taking down Democrats? I like it.
Well that’s what I was trying to say...lol...thank you!!!
looking at her, the “B” word comes to mind, and I don’t mean brilliant.
Now we know how the Obamanites are keeping control and neutering congress!
Our state is corrupt from top to bottom and Kane was endorsed in the Democrat Primary for AG back in 2012 by Bill Clinton.
Lanny Davis has been doing spin for Kane with the media in the last year.
I just LOL that a public official endorsed by Bill Clinton is all worried about “Porn In Government”.
She’s a sick joke, but as she goes down I pray she will find some sanity. About 30 years ago our State Treasurer was convicted of corruption in federal court.
Budd Dwyer held a news conference where he pulled a pistol out of a manila envelope and committed suicide in front of the cameras.
In the words of Laz; “I’d hit that”.
That woman is product of Soros and Odummy. She let three Dem politicians in Philly skate from bribery,extortion and graft charges on Holder’s orders. She was one of the AG’s Soros spent money on to take over state’s legal systems. She can rot in Hell before I’d help her.
Agreed. She is corrupt to the core and anyone who has followed the details would know that. It's sometimes easy to be swayed by a pretty face. Candy coated poison in this case.
Dwyer committed suicide because the Republican Party has certain standards. I can’t think of a single caught Democrat even resigning.
She also refused to charge former State Sen. Vincent J. Fumo (D) in the pay-to-play investigation of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, even though a draft presentment called for him to face charges.
Fumo, a Democrat was already in federal prison on a corruption conviction unrelated to the turnpike when the pay-to-play case was brought.
She basically buried the investigation into a pay-to-play, a major corruption scandal among PA officials of the PA Turnpike commission were money was actually exchanged for favors, all of them BTW D's, some not ever having charges brought against them, or a few on the lower level of the D party, i.e. the scapegoats, allowed some to plead, ending mainly in plea deals for minor offenses - in other words a slap on the wrist.
Since taking office, Kane has appointed former federal prosecutor H. Geoffrey Moulton Jr. to investigate Governor Tom Corbett's (R) handling of the Penn State child sex abuse scandal (an investigation which showed that no wrongdoing by Corbett took place), and brought criminal charges against former turnpike officials (and then dealt plea bargains with the accused parties, which resulted in none of the accused serving any jail time).
Then FWIU, she illegally leaked sealed grand jury testimony that convicted pedophile Jerry Sandusky and his attorneys will now attempt to use to get his conviction overturned.
In July 2013, Kane made national headlines when she refused to defend Pennsylvania's gay-marriage prohibition in court, calling it "wholly unconstitutional."
On March 17, 2014, AG Kane announced that she had shut down a corruption investigation begun under her predecessor, saying that "the undercover investigation was poorly managed and badly executed, and relied on an undercover operative whose credibility had been compromised." The investigation was following up on reports of corruption among current Philadelphia politicians, all of the suspects belonged to Kane's Democratic Party. In response, the Committee of Seventy called on the state legislature to designate an independent counsel to investigate the closing of the case. Local prosecutors in Philadelphia picked up the case, and secured a number of guilty pleas as well as grand jury indictments related to the case.

The Kathleen Kane Saga: A Timeline
When the Government starts taking our rights away it's called Tierney
I think you mean tyranny.
Understand that Kane is only using the porn email scandal, leaking them to the press in order to create a subterfuge and draw attention away from her own and those of other D's - much more serious levels of corruption.
Sure - the very raunchy and some actually very pornographic - XXX email attachments being sent and received on PA email addresses were wrong and some were very disgusting, although some others were your typical internet memes, some of which I've seen posted here, some only PG-13 rated, but understand that she is only using this and leaking them to draw attention away from the investigation into her own corruption and the abuse of her office for political reasons and gain and in attempt to punish those some even in her own AG office, who called her out on it or assisted with the investigations on how she handled or failed to handle the Philly and Turnpike corruption scandals her persecution of former Governor Tom Corbett who was exonerated of any wrong doing in the Sandsuky investigation .
She is a Democrat, so why would anyone be surprised?
On the flip side, if the rest of the nest wasn't so sleazy, she would be on the rail out of town all by herself...
Maybe, maybe just "if I'm going down, you U%&**( are going with me", but either way, peel back the rock and let's see what has been lurking underneath.
If the American people could get this sort of view of officials in every jurisdiction, it is likely the US would be under different (and far better) management.
Not to mention this hack refused to uphold DOMA. She just simply refused and didn’t get a trip to jail for disobeying the “law of the land”.
Haven’t you seen enough by now to know that the ruling elites do not have to obey the law. It is only when they piss off or embarrass their superiors that the law is applied to them. At one point in time, long ago, everyone, no matter what their walk in life, more or less followed the law. that is not the case now. Now, the law is only used to control the slaves, a/k/a civilians. The privilege of Citizen was traded for a bowl or Government stew. Like Esau, the majority traded our birthright for a bowl of stew.
Democrats are pathological.....
E.C. councilman in jail facing murder charge wins second term
Ah, I see why men voted for both of those.
I guess you didn't get the part where you actually have to read about what she's done in order to comment about it.
She leaked some porn in emails after trying to use them as blackmail to keep from being charged with crimes and disbarred. There was no criminality involved in anything she revealed. She isn't Sam Adams, or even Guy Fawkes for that matter.
She's a an incompetent, a racist, an extortionist, and a complete partisan who's used her office repeatedly to keep her party -- that would be Democrats, not some mythical "Uniparty" -- from being exposed.
What the hell has happened to FR that we actually have "conservatives" defending this evil creature?
