Because the law is set up for releasing private stuff of ordinary Americans. Misdemeanor crime with the ability for the victim to sue (not going to happen in this case).

Of course this ignores the fact that the little bastard was attempting to tinker with a national election. But how do you really prosecute against something like that? CBS should have had its license to broadcast pulled over their attempt to take down GWB with fake memos. If that didn’t happen what do you do with a punk like this? Clearly his daddy isn’t feeling any heat from his constituency.

who said that if Kernell is guilty, he would likely only face misdemeanor charges. I didn’t hear Mulroy’s reasoning though due to background noise.

I think interfering with national elections is a more serious charge then a misdemeanor.

I really wanted to get something incriminating which I was sure there would be, just like all of you anon out there that you think there was some missed opportunity of glory

He was looking for something to upset the election process.

What is it about liberals that they just assume that everyone who opposes them must be evil. The only problem is finding the evidence.

My guess is he will get a slap on the wrist just like Sandy Burger did. Bushs justice dept. treats all liberal democrat criminals with care and kindness.
Just ask William Jefferson.

Why did Burglar get a pass? I know Jefferson is riding it out as long as he can at tax payer dollars, but I seriously can’t remember how stealing govt. documents got over looked…….oh yea, everything is corrupt I forgot….nm…

The reporter noted that David Kernell is erasing himself from the internet; deleting his youtube and facebook pages.

One wonders why he would do that. Hmmmm.

He was institutionalized for acute depression. That is an emotional disorder, not a mental illness.

In my poking around last night, I found some connection from him to another site suggesting he might be into the EMO thing.

The reporter noted that David Kernell is erasing himself from the internet; deleting his youtube and facebook pages. Also included was an interview with Steve Mulroy, local socialist/University of Memphis law professor/county commissioner/former dept. of justice attorney, who said that if Kernell is guilty, he would likely only face misdemeanor charges. I didn’t hear Mulroy’s reasoning though due to background noise.

Doesn’t Anonymous have better things to do . . . like, screwing David Miscavige over?

would be nice if his pops was sitting by his side at the time…

Oh man, we can dream!

Great work. Let’s just hope this is the guy.

Here is the thread where CanadianGuy and myself were following this David guy as the hacker. CanadianGuy had this posted at his blog 24 hours ago. All one had to do was Google his email address and dig a bit.

I was doing the same last night…

found his chess-in-life site, wiki account, rubico youtube account (he has a terrible voice and can barely handle those three chords, BTW), US Chess info, Memphis Scholastic information, etc. you’re investigation pretty much settles it for me…

Great point; but if it is true, you are an honorary American.

All we have is his dad admits he’s the subject of Internet rumours. So nothing to get excited about. Plus, the feds are going to find out who the hacker is because Rubico admitted that he only used 1 proxy and the proxy provider in Georgia who has been contacted by the FBI said he could find out who it is no problem if the guy only used 1 proxy.

If what you mean really is that Obama didn’t direct anyone to do this on his behalf, fine. i’d like to see him discourage this muckracking a little more enthusiastically.

SarahW on September 18, 2008 at 8:45 PM

No kidding. I think he could garner at least a little honor and sympathy himself by denouncing this. Unless he’s worried that someone will squeal in protest. He’s looking insensitive and his “clear the field” tactics are seeing the light of day.
