And grand jury leaking: that's the same shit that Ken Starr did for years to the Clintons.
Kane for prison.

(9,115 posts)She didn't put a lot of effort into asking rank and filers for support, like she was all set without small money support, which made me leery.
She was investigating Penn State scandals and corrupt repugs who ignored it, like Corbett, who stole the election from Eisenhower to become PA A.G. And her investigation did flow over into how top judicial figures in PA were going along to get along, 'non-partisan' but in agreement with the repugs' ideology and crooked moves.
No source has ever explained to me how her grand jury leaks caused me harm. And I already knew the judiciary is politicized in a way that benefits the repugs. I'm sorry she was found guilty, but am not ashamed of her as a Dem, and wish her the best.
