How is this different from Watergate? He should rot in prison.
Sock it to him.
Strange... he no longer seems to be smiling in his arrest photos...

Kernell was able to gain access to the account after successfully guessing the “secret” questions Yahoo uses as part of its password recovery system. He then posted screenshots of email messages, photos and a contact list on Wikileaks.org, a web site that hosts leaked government and corporate documents and information.
In addition to the sole charge of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Kernell now stands accused of wire fraud, obstruction of justice and identity theft. Kernell pleaded not guilty to all the charges. His trial was pushed back from May until October because of the new charges filed in the case.
If convicted, he’ll face 18 to 24 months in federal prison and will have to pay a fine ranging from $4,000 up to $40,000.
He probably found out daddy can not give him immunity.
He’s a DEMOCRAT....a Dem. REp.’s Kid....he’ll do NO Prison time.....NONE.
It would be nice if the media would remember to call her Governor Palin.
You said — “How is this different from Watergate? He should rot in prison.”
Well, if the prosecutor was inclined to “cut a deal” then perhaps that would happen (i.e., that he might not go to jail). However, the prosecutor, at this point in time, does not appear to want to cut a deal.
So, “to jail he goes”.... LOL...
With Nixon they “cut a deal”... that simple... (the same as prosecutors all over this country do every day with criminals...)
He’ll have a different kind of “access violations” in prison.
He’ll get a “pocket pardon” by a dem appointed judge.
Her standard response was simply, "You laugh too hard, you cry."
If memory serves me right, Ford was "preemptively" pardoning him...
BTW my "Watergate comment" refers to the nature of the crime... I don't see the media and public outrage over this one.
When he's in the slammer he'll miss the days when only microphones were put in his face.
Amen. Laws are for Republicans.
Good.
Good newws - pile it on...he’s a POS...
Who is Sarah Palin Hacker?
Dude.
You said — “If memory serves me right, Ford was “preemptively” pardoning him...”
Ummm..., yeah, “the deal”... :-)
