The Philadelphia Inquirer's report that AG Kathleen Kane surreptitiously obtained former Feudale's emails was refuted by evidence in the paper's possession.

In yet another case of
bald-faced lying to protect Pennsylvania's corrupt network of prosecutors and judges, the
Inquirer published a
knowingly false story that Judge Barry Feudale did not give permission nor did he have knowledge that the Office of Attorney General (OAG) obtained his private emails.
Feudale's
July 8, 2013 email to the
Inquirer's Craig McCoy proves that the
Inky knew Feudale turned over a very critical email to OAG Special Deputy Geoffrey Moulton.
Bumbling Barry Feudale

Feudale fumble: Sent private
emails to Fina's AG account? |
The
Inky's October 27th story also implied that Kane had obtained the emails through surreptitious methods, but to its credit, allowed that Feudale's office security practices were quite poor.
Feudale provided his computer password to two of his secretaries, plus had it written on a Post It note on a pull out shelf in his desk. Additionally, the absent minded judge also kept the key to his office under the base of the American flag in the grand jury room.
In other words, any number of individuals could have accessed Feudale's office. But that didn't stop the bumbling judge from acting as if he was the victim of the crime of the century.
"I am outraged by the invasion of my privacy. It shouldn't happen to anybody. It not only upsets me, it saddens me."
But it gets even worse for Bumbling Barry....
After the paper's latest attempted smear,
AG Kane informed the Inky's "corruption defenders" that Feudale's private emails were on the OAG's servers.
Citing yet another anonymous source (likely Frank Fina), the
Inky reported that Feudale sent his private emails to a former top prosecutor (likely Frank Fina) in the attorney general's office.
Oops!
But just when you thought things couldn't go any lower, the
Inky, Fina, and
others in the corrupt network are questioning the ethics of Kane for not notifying Feudale that he accidentally left a trail of criminal evidence on a government computer system and then exposing his criminal behavior to the public.
Seriously, you can't make this stuff up!
Feudale oversaw the
Bonusgate investigation that was also plagued by leaks. The Sandusky grand jury investigation, which he also oversaw, was
plagued by leaks to newspapers.
And now Feudale has been caught leaking secret information again.
Does the
Inky really think the public is stupid enough to believe that Kane is the person with a leak problem?
