One of the big name horribles in PA politics, and I'd love to see her removed from the position. Hopefully it's no more serious than that because this doesn't warrant much.

Highly doubt she actually gets any jail time but she's done politically.

With any luck, she resigns.

Darn, she was set for big things. It's a shame what happened here, but I imagine Shapiro will take the golden opportunity now to run for this seat.

On the plus side, if Shapiro does run for AG that hopefully leaves the anti-Sestak Dems w/o a candidate.

Well, if Rick Perry is any indication, maybe the media will now jump to her aid and declare this a partisan witch hunt. Wink

Regardless, even if upon review the case is dropped by the district attorney, Kane is still done politically. She couldn't afford any more news like this and still hope to survive. This is the final nail in her coffin.

Best if she doesn't run for a second term.

She was corrupt and incompetent; I'd hardly call it a shame that Pennsylvania will be rid of her.

Grand jury recommends she be charged with perjury, false swearing, official oppression, obstruction of  law.

I was so disappointed that Murphy lost to her in the primary, and look at where she ends up. It is not a shame that this happened at all; she's a crook.

I doubt the DA will actually charge her.

That being said, she shouldn't run for re-election.

Kathleen Kane was last seen eating her ham sandwich and weeping.

The NY Times covers Kane's rise and quick fall.

Are you implying that Kane is the only person who could've beaten Toomey, or that this will have a profound impact on elections beyond AG? Because either way you're incorrect.

Can anyone explain why PA Dems went with some assistant DA from Scranton over a war hero/former Representative from a crucial swing county in the first place?
