Hackers broke into the Yahoo! e-mail account that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin used for official business as Alaska's governor, revealing as evidence a few inconsequential personal messages she has received since John McCain selected her as his running mate.

Michael Steele was just on Fox speaking about what he experienced.
Well alrighty then.
AP, just like their leader, the 0, does not have the wisdom to know which battles are not worth fighting. So they fight this one, just because.
This “press service” needs some healthy competition.
No, it doesn't. But it does raise questions on just who instigated this 'break in' - the same as someone stealing mail out of your mailbox - and for whose benefit.
I don't, for a second, believe this was just a lone hackers inspiration. I suspicion 'certain entities' were hoping to find evidence of "use of nongovernment e-mail accounts to conduct state business" in order to hang her high. (obambi can violate the Logan Act and try to negotiate a deal with a foreign country to keep troops in harms way longer for his own personal/political gain - and that's brushed aside. But if they had found the slightest hint of 'state business' on Palin e-mails, hey would have already hung her high.
They will continue to ratchet up the "question: did Palin use...investigation demanded" - angle rather than the crime of hacking her email, giving out her daughter's cell phone #, etc...
Unless it's a crime for anyone in government to ever speak with anyone else in gov't unless it's on the record and through gov't channels - and that may be the attitude of the libTards as to the pubbies - then STFU. WE must not let this be driven by the "did she???" angle.
Track 'em down and hang 'em high.
What law have they broken? Somene forwarded hacked e-mails on to them. AFAIK, there is nothing illegal about the AP having those e-mails in their possession so long as they weren't the ones behind the hacking.
No one is going to shut down the AP over this. Their $750 an hour First Amendment lawyers are much more scary than the Secret Service.
I hope he mentioned that it was employees of the DNCC headed by Chuck Schumer who did it. They were so disappointed when they found no wrongdoing in any of Steele's accounts.
Exactly - they act as nothing more than a 'fence' - isn't that also a crime? Should they not also be charged? (like that question will even be raised, let along acted upon.)
Someone recently on another thread mentioned a conversation with someone in the know, asking why Democrats never seem to be prosecuted for their illegal actions (or something to that effect) and the answer was all the Clinton appointees in the Department of Justice. So whoever did this could get off scot-free. Of course if Obama wins he can pardon them.
“Yet everyone talking about this on the msm is more concerned with IF she was conducting business on a personal account.”
In the hacked email I read, it was a discussion about a radio interview with another politician up for reelection. If that email had been on her state-funded email account, the MSM would be all up in arms about that...
They will never stop gunning for her...
What the idiots do not see though, is that the minute they turn on Obama if, God forbid, he is elected....they will instantly become the “wrong media” and will be “WGN’d” or “palin’d” ...
Obama strikes me as someone who is friendly with you only as long as you are useful to him.
Shut them down even if they do comply.
If you knowingly have stolen goods and fail to surrender to the authorities goods that are known to be stolen, then at the very least you are engaging in a conspiracy to obstruct justice, accessory after the fact to the original crime, and probably a couple of other violations of the law.
Everytime one of them try the “IF she was using it...” bull, then the response should be
“well IF obama had anything to do with this...”
They can’t do that can they?
And we thought that the Klintons were a bottomless pit of corruption. The dems under Obama make them look like scout leaders.
It’s early but this is shaping up to be a replay of the 60’s with roles reversed. Obama is the left’s Nixon and the right are the scrambling disorganized hippies.
I doubt a copy of a forwarded e-mail qualifies as a stolen good. The AP has nothing in its possession that is stolen- they just received data over the internet. I doubt the government would want to push forward with any type of charges here, given the 1st Amendment implications.
Burn them out..... traitorous dogs
They've evolved from their attacks on teenage girls to praying women. What next?
