The political future of PA State Attorney General Kathleen Kane looks to be falling as fast as it rose. Evidence of wrongdoing has been found by the special prosecutor and grand jury who are recommending she be criminally charged.
We’ll get an update on the current troubles of the beleaguered attorney general with John Baer, political columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News and Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Angela Couloumbis.
Couloumbis gets us up to speed on what exactly the attorney general is being accused of doing:
She is accused of having [her office] give two documents to the Philadelphia Daily News about a 2009 investigation into a Philadelphia civil rights leader. That investigation was before a grand jury back in 2009 and never resulted in any criminal charges against the civil rights leader Jerry Mondesire.
Couloumbias also reminds us of Kane's political past:
A year ago she was on a trajectory. She was really sort of the golden child for the democratic party and fast forward a year and both her legal and political career are on the line.
