take years to get a conviction assuming they aren't given the gift of a golden parachute of a plea deal and just is allowed to resign and to simply walk away from it with the ability to still practice law intact.

$2 billion in Medicare fraud? They should have thrown it in jail and thrown away the room.

Instead, there it is: Governor of the nation's fourth most important state.

I have no patience for using one's office to trample upon the right of due process of law.

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

Kane for prison.

Abuse of power knows no party or ideology. People just suck on occasion.

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.
