Kernell Indicted in Palin E-Mail Hacking

This story completely disappeared from the radar the last couple of weeks becasue, after all, it was only a Republican getting their mail hacked. If it were a Democrat, it would be portrayed as worse than Watergate and a grave threat to America.

Anyway, this punk David Kernell, son of a Democrat elected official, has now been indicted.

David C. Kernell, 20, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Knoxville, Tennessee., for intentionally accessing without authorization the e-mail account of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

I'll be breathlessly awaiting all the weepy editorials from the left bemoaning this outrageous invasion of privacy.

The Associated Press conveniently omits mentioning his father is an elected Democrat. He could face five years. He'll probably get five days and a White House internship under Barack Obama.

Previously.

Update: Here's the indictment from The Smoking Gun.

More from Michelle Malkin and Hot Air. Thanks to Cold Fury, Dr. Rusty and The Other McCain for the links.
