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.

Well said!
And how much snooping around do you think will happen when healthscam gets going? All your medical records, financial records, voting records all accessible to the bureaucratic class. I am sure my first grade report card will be available plus my shoe size.
How is that all my info is not off limits (a private citizen) but we are not privy to the records of a public servant?
He would be fine, had he stuffed them in his underwear.
It is what he saw and he was threatened over... to never reveal to the public... that is why he is being railroaded.
LLS
Ya think? Nawwwww.
I HOPE THE GUY FINDS A WAY TO LEAK THE INFORMATION!
I sure wish some of the truth about Obama would start leaking before our country is in complete shambles. We aren’t going to make it another two years..especially if we don’t take back the Congress in November.
If it were George Bush, the kid would have been given an award.
And Bush would have been required to put his student loan records online with his military records.
The hypocrisy sickens me.

This seems to be getting a lot of attention for something that apparently resulted in no release of confidential information.
They will connect the health care database to party registration in county databases. That matching record set would then be provided to the Death Panels.
If it were George Bush, the kid would have been given an award.
And Bush would have been required to put his student loan records online with his military records.
The hypocrisy sickens me.
To wax colloquial: It ain't 'just-us', it's 'just-them'.
“Obama’s records from his college years remain off-limits to the public, including his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records, his Columbia thesis, his Harvard Law School records, his Harvard Law Review articles and his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago “
There is serious dirt here, possibly criminal. I lean towards the criminal, as Obama is a gangster thug.

All nine should be thanking their lucky stars they didn’t end up like Quarels Harris (1984-2008).
RICH AMERICAN MUSLIM MAY HAVE HELPED OBAMA INTO HARVARD LAW SCHOOL

When Barack Obama was seeking to get into Harvard Law School (he entered in the fall of 1988) he had the assistance of Khalid Al-Mansour, a Black Muslim and Black Nationalist who was a mentor to the founders of the Black Panther party at the time the party was founded in the early 1960s.

I’m curious if they actually got in and found anything.
If I know Obama, he arranged to have any incriminating student loan records expunged, well before the election.
That’s certainly what he did with the State Department Passport records.
So, the question is, were these guys too late? Or were some of them actually perhaps working for Obama and busy with the expungement? Why are they only firing and prosecuting this one guy, or is it just the case of some careless reporter failing to mention the rest of the story?
In any case, they’d better watch their step. One of the passport expungers was shot, just before he was called in to testify.
Imagine how hard it will be for OBOT drug addicts to doctor shop after Obamacare too. I wonder if they have thought this through sometimes...lol.
