Former Obama staffer arrested in Iowa Secretary of State identity theft investigation...former Obama ’08 staffer – one Zach Edwards, formerly with the 2008 Obama campaign in Iowa and currently up until the arrest working for Link Strategies*, a company affiliated with Sen. Tom Harken (D, IA) – has been arrested for identity theft. The Iowa Department of Public Safety puts it fairly succinctly: “According to the Criminal Complaint, on June 24, 2011, Edwards fraudulently used, or attempted to use, the identity of Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz and/or Secretary Schultz’s brother, Thomas Schultz, with the intent to obtain a benefit, in an alleged scheme to falsely implicate Secretary Schultz in perceived illegal or unethical behavior while in office.” In other words: Edwards is accused of trying to pretend to be Schultz in order to get Schultz in trouble. The crime is listed as an ‘Aggravated Misdemeanor,’ but if convicted Edwards could face jail time.
Matt Schultz is a Republican, in case anybody needed to have that spelled out; he was one of the many, many people who helped kick George Soros’ Secretary of State Project in the teeth in 2010. The SoS Project is, of course, an ongoing campaign by Democrats to control the election process in individual states by controlling the Secretary of State position, which is usually the office that oversees elections: and Iowa was definitely on its radar in 2010. Losing that state hurt, particularly since Schultz both opposes Election Day voter registration and supports photo IDs for voting**: two policies that seem to infuriate Democrats all out of proportion to the importance that those people publicly ascribe to either. So it’s not surprising that some poor, misguided individual might have decided to target the Secretary of State in this fashion.".....
Imagine the trouble this guy might be in if he was a republican.
You always come up with the most interesting articles, thanks for this one.
I had forgotten about the Secretary of State project. Is that what happened in New Hampshire?
I’m going to have to watch for this in WA State. The Republican SoS is resigning and I am sure that this will be a hotly contested race.
hmmmmm...
now just why do you suppose an Obama Associate would want to steal the secretary of state Identification?
Outrageous!
This is the kind of behind-the-scenes stuff the Nazis were doing in Austria before the Anschluss.
That’s just so incredible, it looks like the corruption goes right to the top.
This is a statement from the LinkStrategy web site:
Strength: Our strength is a deep-rooted connection to state and federal government combined with a thorough knowledge of the issues confronting both Iowa businesses and members of the government.
Goal: LinkStrategies uses polling, research and, most importantly, creativity to develop a press plan and articulate a message that breaks through the clutter.
It looks like this isn’t the first time that Jeff Links and LinkStrategy have been involved in an attempt at illegal election manipulation.
From a WA Post article on Jeff Links:
Link’s career has not been without some pitfalls. During Sen. Harkin’s 2002 campaign, Link was forced to resign as campaign manager after it was revealed that a junior campaign aide had secretly taped a strategy session for then-Rep. Greg Ganske, the GOP Senate nominee. No charges were brought in the case, and Harkin went on to a comfortable 10-point victory.
I just came across another tidbit, while researching this Office of New Media.
It seems that Obama has appointed another former associate of Mitt Romney to his administration. The new administrator of the Office of Management and Budget, worked at Baine Capital.
bfl
Obama’s....

Gosh, I WONDER if this Prez would order the export of machine-guns to drug dealers with the intent of undermining the 2nd Amendment, you know...?
Gosh I really WONDER.
Is there ANY LIMIT to the amount of stuff you can get away with, if you’re black..?
WOW.
