Isn't this also the same state that wanted to lock-up Linda Tripp for daring to record a conversation...in order to defend herself? Being the law & order folks they are I'm sure they'll pursue this to the full extent of the law.
I'm so sick of the media's selective outrage when it comes to crimes committed by Democrats. While we have yet to see the end-result of this crime, if it follows the normal media precedent, we probably won't hear too much more about it. Just as we didn't when the old folks in Florida taped a Gingrich conversation that was turned over to Congressman McDermott for public dissemination by the NY Times.
This media that celebrates the anniversary date of Watergate every year, continually ignores democrat crimes that pale in comparison. Chuck Colson went to jail for possessing and disseminating one FBI file...yet no one was ever held accountable in the Clinton administration for the over 800 FBI files that ended up in their White House. In fact, Ken Bacon's dissemination of Linda Tripp's personal file to the press was similar to that of Colsons, yet no one seemed to care...especially the press.
Whether it was Clinton's use of the IRS to target political enemies, Toricelli taking bribes, or even the secret taping of GOP campaign meetings (as one of Tom Harkin's campaign men did to Greg Ganske)...the media never cares about the crimes that Democrats commit, and which are often more outrageous than anything Republicans have done. For all liberals, the ends truly do justify the means.
Hugh Hewitt and Mark Steyn discussing this now.

A senator who believes that the United States Constitution guarantees a right of privacy. What a bloody hypocrite.
These fine, loyal people were just doing Steele a favor and had nothing but pure motives; everyone should check their credit report for errors they only had Steele's best interest at heart. (sarcasm)
The sad part about this huge story is that it will get very little traction and the repubs inability to make hay out of bad news will end up doing nothing to the new nixon of the left. Why isn't there one outspoken repubilican that can make some noise about this? This is too good too rich to pass up when we can lable chuckie and a dirty trickster :(
the republicans have no frickin balls at all.
Obtaining his records is not criminal ...
The amount of criminality like this just truly astounds me. No, let me correct that, the lack of enforcement of criminality like this truly astounds me. I suppose what it is is that if you're a senator, or any politician for that matter, laws do not apply to you???????
Or should I say serous?!

Here we go again!

Now, Hillary, about those stolen FBI files and Craig Livingstone...
The DSCC immediately ensured that Mr. Steele's credit report was not used or disseminated to anyone.
If true, I am amazed, and both Chuck and the DSCC have gone up a notch in my book. They're still near the very bottom though.
We need to know who pulled the report for them. If it was a company that has a credit terminal in their office, I would be willing to bet that they know someone who works there and that person actually pulled it for them. IF I'm right, that's at least 3 people right there. All they need are 2 more people and they're going to do some serious prison time. Figure the odds that others in their committee/group didn't know about it. They're looking at Identity theft, illegally obtaining a credit report, and fraud, all felonies, at a minimum.

Since Lauren and Katie were snooping around,
You'd think that old Chuck would feel bound
To chasten those elves
If they did this themselves ---
And make sure that the lead culprit's found.
Look at this ,Pam!!
Looks like a hate crime to me.
