DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Nine people were indicted Wednesday on federal charges of accessing President Barack Obama's student loan records while they were employed for a Department of Education contractor in Iowa.
The U.S. attorney's office said a grand jury returned the indictments in U.S. District Court in Davenport.
All nine are charged with exceeding authorized computer access. They are accused of gaining access to a computer at a Coralville office where they worked between July 2007 and March 2009, and accessing Obama's student loan records while he was either a candidate for president, president-elect or president.
I am wondering whether or not these guys were birthers or such, attempting to dig up dirt. At any rate, they are all looking at up to a year in prison for what they did. I hope they learn a lesson here.
Meanwhile, I am kind of happy that Obama was on the receiving end of being spied on. He promised to end government spying on American citizens, but he didn't. Karma's a bitch, ain't it? :mrgreen:
