Phill Kline - Honest Attorney General Under Dishonest Sibelius Administration
I have done a few posts* on Phill Kline in the past. he is the former Attorney General of Kansas during Pro-abort Catholic in Name Only Sibelius's time there. He took on the infamous late term abortionist George Tiller as well as Planned Parenthood. Naturally that didn't earn him any fans in the Governor's office since Sibelius was so buddy buddy with Tiller & PP. (Whisch is also why I have my doubts she has done much of the overseeing she should be doing as head of the HHS.)
Kline was defeated for reelection after the abortion industry nationwide poured in over $2 million to defeat him. Sibelius herself persuaded Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison to switch parties & run against Kline.
After he was defeated, the new AG dropped the orignal charges against Tiller. He filed lesser charges that resulted in Tiller's aquital in 2008.
As for the PP investigation that included them covering up a child rape (sound familiar?) In June 2007 Morrison issued a letter “clearing” Planned Parenthood of any wrong-doing. This letter disturbed Judge Richard Anderson, who was the custodian of the evidence & the judge who had been involved in overseeing Kline’s investigations.
But Morrison wasn't long for remaining in office. 6 months later, he was forced to resign in disgrace amid a scandal involving his attempts to persuade his illicit lover in the DA’s office to obstruct Kline’s abortion investigations.
Kline was still able to continue investigating PP because after his defeat he was appointed to the Johnson County District Attorney’s office to fill the vacancy left by Morrison election to AG. There he was able to retain jurisdiction over the Planned Parenthood Investigation. Morrison had taken his job & he took Morrison's.
In Oct, 2007 Planned Parenthood was charged with 107 criminal charges, which included 23 felonies. Of course PP was not happy. Long story short, with the help of Sibelius' 5 pro-abort appointees to the Kansas Supreme Court everything that could be done to keep the case from coming to trial has been done. The good news is, despite all those delays the case is going forward. (links to coverage below #)
Among the many things that done to stop Kline, perhaps the most damaging to his reputation as well as his ability to earn a livelhood was the charge of prosecutorial misconduct. The complaint says that Kline should have recused himself from the Tiller investigation on account of his pro-life convictions. Also that he lied to the Kansas Supreme Court, misled a Johnson County grand jury, & discussed the ongoing Tiller case on the national talk show program “The O’Reilly Factor.”
Before I go on I have to comment about the claim Kline should have recused himself because of his Pro-life convictions. What that charge is basicly saying is that a DA or AG shouldn't have any convictions or beliefs. A far cry from the old days when we looked for DAs with strong beliefs to clean up corruption like that in Kansas with Sibelius et al.
Kline was up for reelection as DA & these charges were hanging over him. What was kept secret, even from Kline, was the fact that an investigation into these charges had been going on for 18 months. On 22 May 2008 the report was filed with the disciplinary administrator appointed by the Kansas Supreme Court to oversee such matters, Stanton Hazlett. Remember that name.
The report exhonorated Kline. “After reviewing the substantial documentation in this case it is the opinion of these investigators that there is not probable cause to prove that Phill Kline violated any of the rules of ethics.” The report was buried by Hazlett & has only recently come to light. As a result, Kline lost reelection & now resides in Virginia where he is a visiting professor at Liberty University School of Law, in Lynchburg, Va.
The reason it finally came to light is because this same Hazlett who knew & hid the contents of the report filed charges in Jan 2011 with the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys. Kline's hearing is scheduled before a 3 Judge panel next Monday, 21 Feb. The report only came to light as a result of the discovery process before the hearing. Depending on the outcome, Kline could lose his license.
Tuesday nite a special webcast was held about this upcoming hearing. I was a part of the gathering at DBQ Co. Right to Life's office to hear it. Speakers included David Bereit of 40 Days for Life, as well as Kansas Secretary of State & Constitutional Law Professor Kris Kobach, & U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas. Kline obviously could not speak about the upcoming hearing, but his wife Deborah did speak as well. A website (Planned Parenthood Corruption) has been set up to help raise funds for Kline's defense as well as get out his side of the story. (OK, I know I said a couple days ago I rarely do plugs like this, but given the urgency of the situation & the importance of this case, here I go again.)
If you haven't figured out by now, I agree with the facts set forth at the webcast. That this has been an attempt to silence Kline & that the whole thing reeks of corruption from Sibelius on down. Just a quick run down of a few facts that show how corrupt Sibelius' administration is. These facts are why, as I have said, I don't trust Sibelius to be doing any oversite these days of PP as head of the Department of Health & Human Services. In 2007, while Kline was proceeding with his investigation, Cecile Richards & Planned Parenthood held a birthday party for the newly re-elected Gov. Sebelius, demonstrating the close ties between them. At the 2006 Democratic Governor’s Association National Meeting Sebelius & Richards announced a new Planned Parenthood political initiative to spend massive amounts of monies to defeat Kline. & yes PP Sibelius also used her authority over 2 state agencies to hinder Kline's investigation. In Sept 2005, a reception for late term abortionist Tiller was held at the Governor's residence with her in attendance.In a May 2008 story, Robert Novak shared other facts about her connections with Tiller, PP & the corrupt system they operated.
So back then it was urgent to stop Kline.
& while things were urgent back then to shut down Kline's attempts to get at the truth, they are even more depserate now.
We have seen that with what all has been going on recently. Given all that is going on with the attacks on LifeSiteNews, Live Action & this with Kline that could have chilling effects, it is clear the "culture of death" is running scared because of what all is coming out. Much of what has been revealed is threatening not only their livelyhood of soaking the taxpayers, but is leading to possible criminal charges as well. So if they can win this on Monday, it will definitely put a chill on any attempts to investigate PP.
We must keep on praying, as I have so often said before. I remind you that at its root, this is a spiritual batle. If you can give to the website fund. & above all get the word out about what is going on.

Sorry you can't prosecute this case, you think it's wrong to kill people.
