NASHVILLE – The son of state Rep. Mike Kernell has been contacted by authorities in connection with a probe into the hacking of personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

The Department of Justice has assigned FBI agents in it's cyber division to trace the source of the hacking. Alaska State Police are also involved. As it stands, links between the persons of interest and the Obama campaign are being investigated.

Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, said his 20-year-old son David had been contacted by authorities investigating the hacking of Palin’s personal e-mail account. The FBI and the Secret Service started a formal investigation Wednesday into the hacking, according to the Associated Press.

David Kernell is a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.
 
The fact that its the son of a democrat and an elected official is the connection?

Doesn't sound like much of a link.

Maybe I missed Kernell being one of Obama's advisors or something.

A family member of a politician broke the law. Boy, THATS a surprise, huh?
 
Infiltration of files seen as extensive
Senate panel's GOP staff pried on Democrats
By Charlie Savage, Globe Staff * January 22, 2004

WASHINGTON -- Republican staff members of the US Senate Judiciary Commitee infiltrated opposition computer files for a year, monitoring secret strategy memos and periodically passing on copies to the media, Senate officials told The Globe.

From the spring of 2002 until at least April 2003, members of the GOP committee staff exploited a computer glitch that allowed them to access restricted Democratic communications without a password. Trolling through hundreds of memos, they were able to read talking points and accounts of private meetings discussing which judicial nominees Democrats would fight -- and with what tactics."

More bullshit....looking at files that are available for ANYONE to see because no password is needed is hardly unethical or illegal....
Files available to anyone without a password are certainly NOT restricted communications, and calling them restricted is obvious spin.....

This nonsense is in no way similar to HACKING into a password protected personal site....

We will find out the truth--may be, if there is a connection. That is what the invistagation is doing now.

shit--the kid could have a personal check form the commie, and it would not be reported.

I hope the kid goes to prison, and the story is made very public.

Hey--how many other stories do you good Americans know about the commie that did not make it to the TV news, or NPR? Sara is a grand mother though--congrats Sara.

do you see how nuts the far left (extreem left) is today? No?---well---your nuts too, with no solid base logic if you don't see it.
 
Why would the Fed's say they are investigating a link if there wasn't one. My god you democrats are stupid.
 
Agreed, demo's hired an incompetent IT person (probably a relative) that allowed access to anybody on the network.

A technician hired by the new judiciary chairman, Patrick Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, apparently made a mistake that allowed anyone to access newly created accounts on a Judiciary Committee server shared by both parties -- even though the accounts were supposed to restrict access only to those with the right password.
 
Darn if the right does not have that kid hung already.

I have not heard any of them come out with the innocent till proven guilty thing like they do if it is a rightie with accusations against them.


Sheeple partisan Hacks all.
