She shut down an investigation of corruption in Philadelphia because, according to her, it was "racist."

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 .

Thanks for the further elaboration. I was only presenting a single bit of the whole catalog of Kathleen Kane's [known] crimes. As I suggested, there are more. And knowing how powerful politicians use the apparat there are no doubt hundreds of other abuses that don't rise to the level of crimes that we'll never know about: Racialist and sexist "policy positions," refusals to prosecute crimes she or her Party don't find objectionable, special pleadings for "protected" classes, and so on.

The claim that she's "exposed" the rest of "The Uniparty" is patent horse poop. She threatened to use these emails long before she actually did it, which makes her an extortionist in addition to her other transgressions. The idea that there is some moral equivalence between sending questionable or even vile materials via e-mail and the criminal abuse of office Kane is guilty of is revolting, and truly makes me wonder what has happened to FR.
