Former Pa. AG Kathleen Kane released from jail
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
7/31/19
EAGLEVILLE, Pa. — A former Pennsylvania attorney general who was convicted of leaking grand jury material and lying about it is out of jail, walking free Wednesday after serving eight months behind bars.
Kathleen Kane left the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in the Philadelphia suburbs about 8:20 a.m. When asked by a reporter how she felt, Kane replied “grateful.”
Kane resigned after being convicted in 2016 of perjury, obstruction and other counts for leaking grand jury material to a Philadelphia newspaper and lying about it.
The Scranton native was a little-known former assistant county prosecutor when she ran for attorney general with a campaign largely financed by her then-husband, who helped run a family-owned trucking and warehousing business.

You gotta' wonder what gets into their heads.............. 
It's too bad she wasn't a little more careful.
and as you said, you gotta' be careful when you go into battle with corrupt politicians.
