As what should probably come as no sh** to anyone familiar with the situation, Kathleen Kane announced today that she won’t be seeking reelection as Pennsylvania Attorney General. Once seen as a rising star of the Pennsylvania Democratic party, her first term has been marred by scandal amidst accusations that she leaked grand jury testimony for political gain culminating in her having her law license suspended and rising doubt that she could even stay in office until the end of her term.
For those wondering at the timing, nominating petitions were due today so she couldn’t keep her decision secret any longer even if she wanted to.
