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.

It was a childrens boutique that was involved in customer ID theft.
There is a tangled web here. (What else is new?) Eric Holder was involved in the pardon of Weather Underground members during the Clinton years.

Underground links likely to resurface for Obama
Chicago Tribune (IL) - Wednesday, April 23, 2008
Author: John Kass
Broadway Baby was not mentioned during the Democratic infighting in Pennsylvania.
But Broadway Baby — once a chic children’s boutique in Manhattan’s Upper West Side — is the future, if Barack Obama is the presidential candidate in the fall.
This story involves two Chicagoans, former Weather Underground terrorist leaders Bernardine Dohrn and her husband, William Ayers, both Obama supporters who blessed his initial foray into politics. Last week, the unrepentant Ayers became a flash point in Obama’s debate with Hillary Clinton.
(snip)
So let’s wait until Labor Day, when Broadway Baby may become a catchphrase. Here’s why: According to a 1982 New York Times report, Broadway Baby was implicated in an investigation of a series of violent armed robberies in New York — netting more than $2 million over a two-year span — committed by former Black Panthers and Weather Underground members in the early ‘80s.
Their aim? Global revolution, naturally. They needed cash, but the rich white parents weren’t in a giving mood. So their privileged offspring grabbed guns, pointed them at the faces of the working man and, sometimes, they pulled the trigger.
At Broadway Baby , customers often paid by check and used driver’s licenses for identification. On Dec. 28, 1979, information from two customer files was used to apply for two driver’s licenses at the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. The fraudulent licenses were used to rent getaway cars for the gang.
Investigators tracked the identities on two licenses for the getaway cars. The names belonged to women who had shopped at Broadway Baby in December 1979. But they weren’t robbers.
And who was the manager of Broadway Baby during that period of the customer ID theft?
Dohrn , the future wife of Ayers, identified by investigators as taking customer information from one, and possibly both, of the women shoppers. Dohrn was never charged in that case.
Dohrn and Ayers had been running for some 11 years, fleeing federal charges that they instigated riots in Chicago in 1969.
They finally came in out of the cold in 1980, but the New York gang continued its spree, ending in the bloody 1981 robbery in Rockland County that left a Brinks security guard and two police officers dead.
The federal charges from the riots were finally dropped because the FBI used illegal wiretaps. But the local charge of aggravated assault stuck to Dohrn . She pleaded guilty to two counts, receiving a $1,500 fine and no jail time
In 1982, Dohrn was brought before a federal grand jury investigating radical conspiracies linked to the New York robberies. She refused to cooperate or to provide a signature sought by FBI handwriting analysts. Dohrn was held in contempt of the grand jury and imprisoned for seven months.
A few years later, Ayers got his job as a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. And Dohrn was employed at the Children and Family Justice Center affiliated with Northwestern University’s School of Law.
I’ve always been fascinated as to how the radical underground stop running and get jobs in academia. Is there a Terrorist Patronage Office for Rich White People? And how did a convicted Dohrn get hired to teach at a law school?
“I am afraid I don’t know an answer to that,” NU spokesman Alan Cubbage said. “The person who was the dean at the time is no longer with the law school. And the person who was the president at the time is no longer the president. So I just don’t know.”
Cubbage did not mention that Ayers’ late father — Commonwealth Edison boss Thomas Ayers — was an NU trustee and former board chairman. UIC spokesman Mark Rosati couldn’t help either, but suggested I file a Freedom of Information Act request to find out how terrorists get hired by taxpayers.
“It’s nothing personal,” Rosati said.
How amusing. They don’t want to explain how terrorists were hired, so they know nothing.
It might work now, but it won’t work in the fall, when Broadway Baby opens for a run, in a campaign commercial near you.
Ayers also seems to be the point man who introduced Khalid al-Mansour to Barack Obama.
And years later his Harvard acceptance, tuition, Pres of Harvard Law Review position, degree were bought and paid for by Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal (nephew of King Abdullah, get Barry’s deep bow now?). The Prince donated $20 million to fund Islamic studies at Harvard during this time.
Same Middle East connection financed Obama’s Presidential campaign through illegal donations, mostly through untraceable, one-time use cash gift cards.
Obama’s Secret Campaign Cash: Has $63 Million Flowed from Foreign Sources? (probably has something to do with Barry’s and Michelle’s discovered numerous addresses/SS # scheme)
http://newsmax.com/InsideCover/obama-illegal-donations/2009/12/12/id/341673
So what’s the catch from the beginning? Zero is owned by certain individuals....but why did they solicit/pay for this nobody’s schooling at Harvard? What’s expected of him?

Jeeze ... the denial of justice for these vile domestic
terrorists is UNREAL! Then the Machine paves the way
for civic amnesia and perfect acceptability back into society.
We need our own cadre of investigators just to pursue
all the crimes and sabotage of these despicable thugs.
December 1979 .. where were Ayers and -0 ?

Thank you!
thanks for the ping STARWISE.
fantastic record Brown Deer, SAVED for posterity. (Why are they still breathing?)
This could all be resolved with the presentation of ONE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!
The kid ALSO looked up the student loan records of a number of movie stars and celebrities. He was NOT prosecuted for any of those. Coincidence? I think NOT!
All this effort to hide the annointed one’s school records is evidence that he is the true convergence of affirmative action and the Peter Principle.
(Why are they still breathing?)
YES! Never mind breathing, lauded !!!!
Just looking at Dohrn’s parents’ names .. they
strike me as Jewish names. Anyone ever heard
if that’s so ? If so, what would Wright and
Farrakhan have to say about that, the way they
viciously slander and debase the Jewish people.
