At the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, 2016 will go down as the year Attorney General Kathleen Kane led the office without a law license, fought removal from her position, continued a two-year condemnation of offensive emails and finally resigned following her own criminal conviction.
Kane’s and her office’s troubles were already well underway as the year began. She had been criminally charged in August 2015 with perjury and related crimes for leaking secret investigative information, then lying about her actions under oath. And just after charges were filed, her law license was suspended.
