Former Obama Staffer Busted for Stealing Iowa Secretary of State's Identity

Barack Obama’s 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 State’s 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.

Amen!

One of the reasons Newt is getting standing ovations when he slaps the MSM's down is that people see what is going on and are TOTALLY FED UP WITH IT! I am one of those. I see these arrogant talking heads throw slime and I puke. Newt may have his history, but his grasp of the things that count and ability to articulate them has me behind him. Newt over Romney any day...

Identity Theft is only a MISDEMEANOR? Intentionally and craftily conniving and stealing someone else’s identity, and potentially ruining their life is a mere MISDEMEANOR? No wonder that line of endeavor is so popular, and almost never results in apprehension, prosecution and imprisonment! Nobody but the victim gives a rip!

Iowa is Tom Harkin’s state, literally. Iowans will continue down the slippery slope so long as they embrace lying frauds such as Tom ‘dungheap’ Harkin. Democrat criminal behavior is winked at in Owa, so I doubt this perp will have much trouble wriggling out from these charges. I mean, he steals the ID of sct of the state with intent to create a fraudulent scandal, and the liberal judge releases this democrat criminal on $2000 bail? ... If the perp was even made to stand before this judge it will be the last time this democrat will be in court over these charges. He will probably be moved to another state where the DNC wants to run a similar crime.

The post is still up. For some reason, the post in the thread does not work.

However, if you click on the link directly from the main Free Republic page, it works.
