FBI serves search warrant against UT student in Palin case
 Advertisements [?]Source: Tennessean

The FBI is stepping up its investigation into the hacking of personal e-mail of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin by a University of Tennessee student.

A person who identified himself as a witness tells WBIR-Knoxville that agents with the FBI served a federal search warrant at the Fort Sanders residence of David Kernell early Sunday morning.

David Kernell is the son of Mike Kernell, a Democratic state representative from Memphis.

Laura Sweeney, a Department of Justice spokesperson, confirmed there has been "investigatory activity" in Knoxville regarding the Palin case, but she said there are no publicly available search warrants, and no charges have been filed.

A separate law enforcement source confirmed to WBIR that a search warrant was served on Kernell's apartment.

1. Just tell the FBI you dont respond to subpoenas or search warrants...
 Thanks but No Thanks!
I'm no expert, but I have a feeling that is not a winning move.

4. Since when is an email account on a public server considered sacrosanct?
 OMG! It exposed silly pictures and email messages. What a crime. NOT.

Hey, if you want to store your emails on the Internet and expect privacy you are a fool.

No one should be prosecuted, much less charged for something like this.

Really, her password was "popcorn." She is the one who should be investigated for overt stupidity.

Local news at 6pm, said the FBI did a warrant search early this morning on the kid's apartment down near campus.

He wasn't there....his roommate(s) was having a large party at the time.....there were several witnesses, many who have already been subpoenaed.....the FBI was there "reportedly" for a couple of hours.....extensive looking at computers.


DU needs to update their info....dumb kid changed Palin's existing password to "popcorn"....his last name is "kernel"..... :thatsright:

o/t....

We had a default password that we used on some of our non-server/non-workstation networked devices while I was at Ford.  One of the plant managers changed all of his to 'popcorn1' so he could access them.  I thought that was pretty funny.  It's not like the default pw was extremely difficult to remember.

Data point number 89,856,127 demonstrating that liberals break the las against conservatives and then bitch it was the other way around.

So Dumpmonkeys, how many democratic headquarters/buses/GOTV have been attacked?

And how many Republican ones have?

CASE CLOSED.

I swear the old adage of point one finger at me point three back at you is never more well proved than at the DUmp.

This kid is a 20-year-old man, and, one hopes, a soon-to-be convicted felon. Even though Tennessee is a reliably red presidential state (Gore's home state was more important in 2000 than Florida), the governor is democrat and the legislature is democrat. The state senate is Republican, but barely. It is nearly unheard of for a democrat politician or his family to be successfully prosecuted for anything in Tennessee state courts. The feds are a different matter entirely. They just finished indicting a bunch of democrat state senators in a clever sting, and have already convicted the ringleader, another Memphis democrat crook, like the father of this "kid". This "kid", if guilty, is a cruel and malicious criminal, and is in a heap of trouble.

He committed the crime in E TN which is predominately Republican. The news did say this will go to Chattanooga rather than here in Knoxville, but I haven't heard a reason why.

Bloggers sniff out anti-Palin astroturf campaign– and the cover up begins

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 22, 2008 04:44 AM Scroll down for updates…

Follow the disappearing YouTube account…

The blogosphere is doing the job the MSM thinks no one else can do.

A collaborative investigative effort by our friends at The Jawa Report to expose an apparently astroturfed, anti-Sarah Palin smear campaign seems to have caused late-night panic in Barack Obama-linked p.r. circles. The bloggers digging into the provenance of anti-Sarah Palin smears on the web got results last night/early this morning while most elite journalists were still in their pajamas sleeping.

First, read this. Read the whole thing. Rusty Shackleford — with help from Jane of Armies of Liberation, Stable Hand, the Jawa team, Dan Riehl, Ace of Spades, and Patterico – traced a Palin-bashing YouTube video to a Democrat public relations firm, Winner and Associates, and one of its employees, Ethan S. Winner. They believe the voiceover for the ad — which spreads the lie that Sarah Palin belonged to a fringe third party, the Alaska Independence Party — was done by a professional whose voice they believe was also featured in several Obama ads and other spots produced by Obama top strategist and astroturfer extraordinaire David Axelrod’s firm.

The Jawa Report’s bottom line:

Go to the link for that . . .

Judge Napolitano just said, on my classmate Martha MacCallum's show on FNC, that this Kernell idiot is going to be indicted tomorrow based on what his three roommates told the FBI.  Problem is, he probably is not going to get any jail time.

Of course not, because they'll be too scared of appearing to engage in political persecution...

...except that is exactly what this little paste-eater was doing.

So in the end they will encourage what they fear will be labelled against them.

JAYD is one of those "low information" people. 

They're the stupid ones. Her password wasn't "popcorn". The "Kernell" kid changed it to "popcorn" after hacking her account. He also publicised Bristol Palin's cell phone number. That's the 'rats for you though, just brimming with class and ethics.
