When it
comes to corruption in political office no party, no gender has a monopoly or
an exclusive license to steal
The news out
of Pennsylvania that sobering truism recently revealed
Kathleen
Kane, a rising star for the Blues, was elected in 2012 to become the state’s AG
She was the
first women and first Blue to hold the office and with her vows to fight
corruption high hopes for her political
legacy
A rising
star for the Blues in an already Blue state
Who could
have ever foreseen what would become her fate
What the
voters did not know is that Kane sadly shared with Hillary common traits
First and foremost
Kane was paranoid which in describing Hillary there can be no debate
Second like
the Clintons’ going after opponents on their infamous enemies list
Kane sadly
was prone to personal vendettas and bending the truth she found hard to resist
Third like Hillary
Clinton a fatal character flaw
Kane as the
judge state believed she was above the law
Three common
traits a disaster waiting to erupt
With a
vengeance when she stopped an investigation of fellow Blues alleged to be
corrupt
The Philadelphia Inquirer doing its job as a
member of a free press
Ran an
article claiming an investigation started by her predecessor that she would
suppress
Then in a revenge
rage due to being made to look bad indicated in emails that on him she would
wage war
Leaked confidential
grand jury intel to damage him from one of his investigations and then falsely
swore
That it was
not her who had leaked the info to the press
Soon charged
with obstruction and perjury to her distress
Tried,
convicted and now sentenced to 12 to 23 months pending appeal
Amazing that
once again just like Hillary the crime is always less than the attempt to
conceal
Two women
politicians with similar traits only the motivations differ
One for
money and power the other for revenge, who should receive the penalties stiffer?
