NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- Pennsylvania's attorney general was charged Thursday with leaking secret grand jury information to strike back at her critics, then lying about it under oath, in a case that could spell the downfall of the state's highest-ranking female politician.
Kathleen Kane leaked the material to a political operative to pass it on to the media "in hopes of embarrassing and harming former state prosecutors she believed, without evidence, made her look bad," Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said.
Kane, the first woman elected attorney general in Pennsylvania, was charged with perjury, obstruction, conspiracy and other offenses. The 49-year-old Democrat is expected to surrender within days.
"No one is above the law, not even the chief law enforcement officer of the state of Pennsylvania," Ferman said. She called it "a sad day for the citizens of Pennsylvania and a sad day for all of us in law enforcement."

Pay back. She is done.
Well at least one state holds everyone accountable for their actions.
She ran her campaign on repealing the reciprocity of concealed carry from other states. Within one month of elections she had accomplished it.
