Kane has been indicted by Risa Vetri Ferman, the Republican district attorney for Montgomery County, the location of Philadelphia’s wealthy “Main Line,” for allegedly leaking grand jury sealed emails of two former state prosecutors within the Attorney General’s office in Harrisburg. However, it was The Philadelphia Inquirer which received the leaked emails and reported Kane as the ultimate source. The paper has led the attack against Kane and it has publicly called for her resignation or disbarment. Many informed observers believe that the grand jury leak was staged in a bipartisan operation to unseat Kane because she has garnered the reputation of a political “loose cannon.” When she was elected attorney general in 2012, Kane received more votes than President Obama, who carried the state.
