Barack Obamas 2008 Iowa New Media Director was arrested Friday for attempting to use the identities of Secretary of State Matt Schultz, and/or his brother Thomas, with the intent to falsely implicate the Secretary Schultz in illegal or unethical behavior. Zach Edwards, 29, of Des Moines, currently works for Link Strategies, a Democrat-affiliated organization with ties to Iowa Senator Tom Harkin. Edwards is the Director of New Media for Link Strategies.
The Secretary of States office discovered the alleged crime and reported it to authorities. Edwards turned himself in to the Iowa DCI agents Friday afternoon. He was charged with identity theft, a misdemeanor, and booked into the Polk County jail. Edwards posted $2,000 bail and was released later on Friday. He faces up to two years in prison.

This is the party of Obama and Harkin. The end justifies the means.
Ping
Another tidbit that demonstrates that Obama and those who surround him are thugs and/or criminals.
HO, HO, HO. The party of transparency caught. They’ll do anything.
2K bond and possible 2 years?!?
Identity theft ought to be as serious as murder, or at least manslaughter, in my book! Most have no idea what it takes to get your good name back, if at all, after being a victim of this crap.
Treat it the same as home invasion with the penalties to be exacted as would a well prepared victim. Bang!
He learned it in this in his community organizing class...it’s the Chicago way.

‘Just putting himself in line to be husseins media czar this year.
I’ve always said that the Democrats will put Republicans in JAIL (or worse) if they could just figure out a way to do that. Most people on this site, and certainly most Republicans in leadership positions laugh it off.
...but they laugh it off at their own peril. Hopefully, at least this guy learns just who Democrats are and what they’ll do, whenever they can find a way to do it.
Unreal, but not unbelievable, considering who we’re dealing with here.
Hey, he was out of work. The Obama campaign people gave him a job. That helped lower the unemployment numbers. Now he is an out of work criminal. Yuck, yuck. One down, thousands more of Obama’s criminal employees to go. Including the biggest liar, fraud and criminal of all who is sitting in our White House.
Sounds like part of the George Soros “Secretary of State Project” which involved efforts to get “progressives” into Secretary of State jobs, especially in key battleground states. The idea is to have people in position to overlook voter fraud.
They are pulling out all the stops this year.
This election season, stopping demonrat voter fraud will be like trying to stop illegal immigrants crossing the border: catch one, but miss catching 99.
Americans need to step up our game for both.
You see one cockroach...

I agree plus I believe that the victim of the identity theft should be able to sue for reparation equal to three times the damages out of the Identity Thief. You could do it like it was under the RICO statutes.
Stealing Your Life, Your Good Name (Reputation), Your potential earnings potential, etc. Prison is too good for a thief like that. Make it a Capital Crime with the potential for life-ending consequences. Although our ‘Progressive Friends’ would never go along with that. Too many of the constituents would be effected.
I think you may be correct.
