Responding to reports on her dropped investigation into multiple bribe-taking Democrats, including a Philadelphia state legislator paid to vote “no” on Voter ID, Pennsylvania’s Democrat Attorney General Kathleen Kane has hired a lawyer and threatened to sue the newspaper reporting the story: Kane, apparently frustrated by continuing scrutiny of her decision, has now escalated further, hiring counsel and suggesting that if the Inquirer continues to pursue the story, she would start suing people! The decision to lawyer up and take “appropriate action” against either the leakers or the papers goes far beyond the bounds of a reasonable response. This is indisputably a newsworthy story. The public deserves to know what happened with this investigation and why it happened. Kane’s acceleration from “it was racism” to “it’s the Good Ol’ Boys” to “I will start suing people” is despicable in any public servant, but even more so from the state’s top prosecutor.
