Attorney representing 9 federal employees slams Justice Department
A defense attorney representing one of the nine individuals indicted in federal court for looking up President Obama's student loan records characterized the Department of Justice's actions as a political prosecution.
"The only reason my client was prosecuted by the federal government was that happened to look up the student loan records of Barack Obama," attorney David R. Treimer of Davenport, Iowa, told WND.
Treimer represents John Phommivong, a 29-year-old who is the son of parents who fled Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.
Phommivong has pleaded guilty in the case and is awaiting a pre-sentencing conference in court with the prosecutors Aug. 31 and a sentencing hearing scheduled for Sept. 24.
He is charged in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Iowa with a criminal misdemeanor under 26 U.S.C. Section 1030, a broadly worded section of the federal code devoted to computer fraud that carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine, if convicted.
Phommivong also looked up student loan records for Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and John Wayne, according to Treimer.
"There was no criminal intent on the part of my client," Treimer insists. "He was just bored and to pass the time he used the National Student Loan Data System to look up the student-loan records of celebrities."
Treimer insisted that looking up Barack Obama's student loan records was what triggered his prosecution.

ad isn’t Percy dead now?
Yes, Percy Sutton passed away about a year ago.
From this Jewish Republican point of view, one of the most asinine remarks ever uttered by a Jewish Democrat - and there have been many!!!
Like Mikva, [Rabbi Arnold Wolf] was another early [Obama] backer. Like Mikva, he sees what he called Obama's "Jewish side. Obama is from nowhere and everywhere - just like the Jews. He's black, he's white, he's American, he's Asian, he's African - and so are we," Wolf said.
Well, on second thought, maybe Rabbi Wolf's quote even tops Mikva's for asininity. I'm just wondering how many Jews have Rev. Wright and Rashid Khalidi among their best pals, for starters. Plus, I'm sure he's not Asian, and he very possibly isn't American (an American citizen, that is).
Since those two quotes are from December 2008, I'm wondering whether Mikva and Wolf still feel the same way.
Good thing this could never happen to your medical records.

Mikva must’ve had a brain transplant with a chicken..
Sure, Mikva. He’s just from the anti-Semitic branch of Judaism.
They just can’t let anyone discover that Barack’s really a martian.
Thank you for last week’s heads’ up. Had been studying some and will continue. God bless you and FRegards ....

During the election time Sean Hannity was pursuing the connection with Dr. Khalid al-Mansour quite often, but then dropped it like a hot potato, same they all did with the NBC issues!!!
Not according to Dr. Manning's Grand Jury Trial. He was working for CIA in the Middle East!!!
