Prosecution: Attorney General Kane was out of control, bent on revenge

[TexasTowelie]

Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane was "on a mission, a mission of revenge," when she orchestrated a "cloak-and-dagger" operation to illegally leak information to vilify a critic, prosecutors said Tuesday in the opening of Kane's trial on perjury and obstruction charges.

To the contrary, Kane was a victim grappling with lies from her former second-in-command and a political consultant who have repeatedly covered up their own roles in the leak, her defense argued before the jury in Montgomery County Court in Norristown.

Kane, 50, was charged last year after prosecutors said she had illegally leaked secret grand jury information to embarrass former state prosecutor Frank Fina, and later lied under oath to cover it up.

"Revenge is best served cold," prosecutor Michelle Henry in opening arguments, citing a line she attributed to Kane.

1. IMO her biggest sin was going after Sandusky and then going after the elite that turned a blind eye

and/ or were part of the clan Sandusky ran around with. Corbett could have brought charges against Sandusky but chose not to. She did. It reminds me of the Ray Gricar disappearance. He knew something and disappeared. There is corruption in high levels and trying to clean it up is dangerous in this state.

2. Yes. I'll allow the possibility that she is guilty, but in PA it seems more likely

that she is being railroaded for going after the wrong people.
