Sarah Palin Watch: E-mail Hacked and Family Photos/Voicemail Stolen - Tennessee Grand Jury Scheduled to Hear Testimony?
Posted by: Flap in Sarah Palin
A Tennessee Grand Jury could hear testimony this week into the alleged hacking of Sarah Palin’s private Yahoo e-mail account (Via MM).
The Knoxville News-Sentinel said the FBI is investigating the possibility that a University of Tennessee student who is the son of a state legislator from Memphis carried out the hacking.
The report said FBI agents raided the apartment of David Kernell early Sunday morning.
It said friends of Kernell were interviewed, and said they are due to testify about the case in Chattanooga this week.
A federal grand jury is set to convene in Chattanooga on Tuesday.
Kernell is the son of Memphis Democrat Mike Kernell, who acknowledged that his son is being investigated.
Flap had this post over the weekend on an early morning search warrant service on the apartment of David Kernell.
Stay tuned as this alleged, and attempted political “dirty trick” by “Obamacrat” David Kernell is fully investigated.
Update:
The Justice Department has now confirmed that its investigation into the alleged hacking into Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail now includes Knoxville, Tennessee.
The “investigatory activity took place … over the weekend,” according to Justice Department spokeswoman Laura Sweeney. She initially said the activity took place late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, then amended the time frame after reports of agents visiting the apartment building late Friday afternoon.
She would not comment on whether that activity included an FBI search of the apartment of University of Tennessee Knoxville student David Kernell.
She also would not confirm if anyone was served with a subpoena to appear before a federal grand jury in Chattanooga.

But what of Vikram Buddhi? Has he been sentenced or deported? For those that don’t know he was convicted of making threats against President Bush. Dimbulbs are all for making laws they favor (redistribution of wealth, etc.) but are terrified of laws that actually punish people for criminal behavior.

It is really a bad thing to do. Trying to invade someone else’s privacy. Even if the person involved is running for public office, everything about them should not be public property…

Babsy,
Wonder if they sent Buddhi back to India? Or to SuperMax?
