A federal grand jury has handed down an indictment on David Kernell, son of Tennessee State Representative, Democrat Mike Kernel.
The indictment states that on approximately Sept. 16, 2008, Kernell “obtained unauthorized access” to Palin’s personal e-mail account by allegedly resetting the account password.
Kernell then allegedly read her emails and made screenshots of the e-mail directory, e-mail content and other personal information and, per the indictment, posted screenshots of the e-mails and other personal information to a public Web site.
Kernell, if convicted, faces five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and a three year term of supervised release.
I don’t know that Mike Kernell was involved with, or even aware of, what his son was doing. I hope that’s the case because this is low, even for a politician.
