Kathleen Kane, whose rise from political unknown to Pennsylvania’s attorney general came on the back of the Clintons, is facing criminal charges after an eight-month statewide grand jury investigation.
Documents revealed on Wednesday show that a Pennsylvania grand jury recommended Kane be charged with perjury, false swearing, official oppression, and obstruction, according to a report by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The documents used in the investigation that led to the recommendation remain under seal.
The charges stem from Kane’s violation of grand jury secrecy rules by leaking confidential memos from a 2009 investigation to local media outlets in an attempt to embarrass political foes across the aisle, including Tom Corbett, formerly the state’s Republican governor and her predecessor in the attorney general’s office.
Kane has advanced her career under the wing of Hillary Clinton, so she is no stranger to political retribution.
She left her position of 13 years as an assistant district attorney for Lackawanna County, Pa., in 2007 to join Clinton’s unsuccessful presidential campaign.[…]
Kane’s legal case is not the only hit the Clinton political family has taken this week. A day after Kane’s case was made public, Sheldon Silver, speaker of the New York State Assembly and a longtime political ally of Hillary Clinton, was arrested by federal authorities on corruption charges.
A request for comment to the Clinton Foundation regarding Kane’s case went unanswered.
