The story initially began back in March of 2014 when several black Philadelphia politicians were caught in a corruption probe and sting operation. At the time the newly elected Democrat PA Attorney General stepped in and pressured the Philadelphia prosecutor to drop charges; the reasoning was incredulous.

The corruption investigation itself was called racist because only the black politicians accepted the bribes. All politicians were offered bribes, but only the black politicians took the bribes – ergo the new State AG, Kathleen Kane, said the STING was racist. The local Philadelphia media reported on the story, which essentially shamed the Philly DA into filing charges. Last month two of the lawmakers were charged – the Philly lawmakers admitted their guilt.
However, the story gets even more bizarre. The State AG was busted leaking information from the secret Grand Jury in Philadelphia who originally proposed charges against the corrupt Philly politicians. Kathleen Kane was said to have given information about the Grand Jury investigation to The Philadelphia Daily News. This turned investigative attention toward the State Attorney General, Kathleen Kane, who, if proven, would have just committed a very serious crime – for nothing more than political motive.
Last week after a review of all the evidence showing Kane’s involvement a State Grand Jury has now decided to recommend charges against the State Attorney General herself.  In a move which reflects her profound guilt, AG Kane has hired her Legal Defense from Hillary Clinton Operative Lanny Davis.
Full Details of the current status are provided by the Daily Signal:

The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that a statewide grand jury has recommended criminal charges be filed against Pennsylvania Attorney General (and voter ID opponent) Kathleen Kane for perjury and contempt of court over the leaking of secret grand jury information.

Kane, a Democrat, had been in the news recently after a local grand jury convened by Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams indicted two Democratic state legislators for accepting bribes in exchange for voting against a voter ID bill after Kane refused to prosecute the case. Kane had shut down the undercover sting investigation that caught state legislators from Philadelphia accepting cash bribes.

The statewide grand jury investigation, which is supervised by Judge William R. Carpenter, was approved by former Chief Justice Ronald D. Castille of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Under normal circumstances, it is Kane’s office that presents cases to the statewide grand jury. But because it was Kane herself who was being investigated, Judge Carpenter appointed a special prosecutor, Thomas E. Carluccio, a criminal defense lawyer and former prosecutor in Delaware.

The grand jury was investigating a leak that appeared in the Philadelphia Daily News in 2014 about a 2009 financial investigation of J. Whyatt Mondesire, the head of the Philadelphia chapter of the NAACP. Mondesire was never charged and the existence of the investigation was not made public until it appeared in the Daily News story. According to the Inquirer, “the leak appeared to be designed to raise questions about [the] competence” of Frank G. Fina, the former state prosecutor who conducted the investigation into Mondesire.

[…] Usually, a statewide grand jury’s recommendation would be turned over to the attorney general for action. However, since the charges are against Kane, the grand jury’s recommendation has been turned over to Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman for action, which puts her in the somewhat unusual position of being a local official deciding whether to indict a state official.

Even if Kane’s claims that she did not unlawfully release protected grand jury material are true, her admission that she provided information to the Daily News means that Kane was deliberately leaking information to hurt a former state prosecutor with whom she was having a public feud. That leak also damaged the reputation of a private citizen, Whyatt Mondesire, who denounced the unfair damage to his reputation to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

This is on top of the prior findings of the Philadelphia grand jury that make it clear that Kane’s justification for ending the bribery investigation was false and that her office crafted a severely flawed report designed to support her claims that ignored the actual evidence in the bribery case.

I see a nice new pair of bracelets in Kathleen Kane’s future…
