Should Kathleen Kane Resign?

Should Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane resign her post?

Governor Tom Wolf thinks so, announcing his feelings on the subject shortly after charges against Kane were announced on Thursday by Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman.

Kane has made it very clear that she has not intentions of admitting wrongdoing, as she said in a statement on Thursday that she would vigorously defend herself.

“I look forward to the opportunity to present my case in a public courtroom and move beyond the behind-the-scenes maneuvering that has defined the process to this point,” Kane said in the statement. “Meanwhile, I remain committed to leading the Office of Attorney General and doing the job the citizens of this Commonwealth elected me to do. A resignation would be an admission of guilt and I’m not guilty.”

Kane reportedly will turn herself in on Saturday.

The Democratic attorney general allegedly leaked grand jury documents to the press and then lied about it, Ferman said.

Kane is being charged with obstruction of the administration of law, official oppression, conspiracy, false swearing, and perjury, among other charges.
