Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane is facing a number of criminal charges, including leaking grand jury information, perjury, and obstruction, among others. Her law license has been suspended and the legislature is threatening to remove her. While she waits, she's doing everything she can to expose the bad judgment and wrongdoing of other public officials. Some call it vindictive, others say she's trying to get the truth out. Either way, Kathleen Kane is not going quietly. From

Since all three branches of state government began moving against her over the past year, Kathleen Kane has released hundreds of sexually explicit or otherwise crude emails that had been sent or received by current or former public officials on their government accounts.
The tangled scandal has led to the downfall of a state environmental secretary and shamed a state police commissioner, a Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice and several former top officials in the attorney general's office. Another high-court justice resigned after newspapers disclosed his involvement
Just last year, Kane's office
uncovered hundreds of pornographic emails and videos in the account of a former justice on the state Supreme Court. But pornography isn't the only disturbing thing Kane's unearthed. Another Supreme Court judge's emails were
full of racism and misogyny, degrading blacks, Muslims, and women among others.
Kane has never had much support from the Republicans, but many of her fellow Democrats in public office are also calling for her removal. Meanwhile, Kane isn't letting up voluntarily anytime soon—she has threatened to release more emails in the coming days.
