Obama student-loan mystery shrouded by 'politics' ( Eric Holder covering for Obama)
wnd ^ | July 13, 2010 9:33 pm Eastern | Jerome R. Corsi

Attorney representing 9 federal employees slams Justice Department

A defense attorney representing one of the nine individuals indicted in federal court for looking up President Obama's student loan records characterized the Department of Justice's actions as a political prosecution.

"The only reason my client was prosecuted by the federal government was that happened to look up the student loan records of Barack Obama," attorney David R. Treimer of Davenport, Iowa, told WND.

Treimer represents John Phommivong, a 29-year-old who is the son of parents who fled Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.

Phommivong has pleaded guilty in the case and is awaiting a pre-sentencing conference in court with the prosecutors Aug. 31 and a sentencing hearing scheduled for Sept. 24.

He is charged in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Iowa with a criminal misdemeanor under 26 U.S.C. Section 1030, a broadly worded section of the federal code devoted to computer fraud that carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine, if convicted.

Phommivong also looked up student loan records for Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and John Wayne, according to Treimer.

"There was no criminal intent on the part of my client," Treimer insists. "He was just bored and to pass the time he used the National Student Loan Data System to look up the student-loan records of celebrities."

Treimer insisted that looking up Barack Obama's student loan records was what triggered his prosecution.

Was checking John Wayne’s education and found this quote:

“I have found a certain type calls himself a Liberal...Now I always thought I was a Liberal. I came up terribly surprised one time when I found out that I was a Right-Wing Conservative Extremist, when I listened to everybody’s point of view that I ever met, and then decided how I should feel. But this so-called new Liberal group...they never listen to your point of view...”

As to the bored employee, criminal charges seem a bit steep for curiosity without intent to commit a crime.

They have to incarcerate or worse, anyone daring to find out anything, about whom the wan "really" is.

wouldn’t it be funny if those ppl were actually democrats. Just simple human curiosity will make you take a peak. They’re making a mistake to assume they must be republicans out to damage obama. Since nothing they gathered were actually leaked out to anybody

Well Phommivong was prying into State Secrets and, besides, he is one of those hated Asians who are keeping other minority students out of the Universities by being unfairly more studious than they.

HOLDER doesn’t care about Justice and his “Justice Department” is actually the OBAMA COVERING Department....
No more Justice Department!

Lawyers in USA and the true conservatives should speak out clear and loud( let alone the GOP Rep).... against the hijacking of the Justice Department

"Phommivong has already lost his job," Treimer said. "I expect his sentence will be probation only, involving no jail time and no fine

If Reason prevails; but if not; then this case should be made 'case celeb', so to speak.

As WND has reported, several of Obama's records from his college years remain off-limits to the public, including his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records, his Columbia thesis, his Harvard Law School records, his Harvard Law Review articles and his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago.

What left to say; to think. . .to do?

Stregth in numbers. . .but oh, the intimidation going on here.

Not to mention what this Justice Dept/Holder are communicating to the 'Panther Army' et al; as we head into Elections. The NAACP getting right in there with their racist exhortations to add some fuel. . .as the saying goes.

Hope the MSM appreciates their own efforts as enablers of it all.

Well, FWIW, a physician in LA was sent to prison for satisfying his boredom by looking up celebrity medical information (no disclosures, mind you, just looking).

I don’t “get it”. Credit bureaus, banks, insurance companies, potential employers, investigative journalists, and the government look up student loan records all the time. Are they all facing jail time?

Or, is it only people trying to access information about the President who are in jeopardy?

This president has such contempt for the people.

We the people are entitled to every document that documents his birth.

Without that documentation we have no choice but to show the same contempt for him. He can go F himself.

Well, no wonder Eric "The Red" Holder went after him. Phommivong is a minority, but the wrong 'kind' of minority. His family is obviously anti-communist and therefor an enemy of the state

And how much snooping around do you think will happen when healthscam gets going? All your medical records, financial records, voting records all accessible to the bureaucratic class. I am sure my first grade report card will be available plus my shoe size.

How is that all my info is not off limits (a private citizen) but we are not privy to the records of a public servant?

If it were George Bush, the kid would have been given an award.

And Bush would have been required to put his student loan records online with his military records.

Nine people looked up Obama's student loan records? Well, has any information concerning those records ever been made public? If so, I missed it.

This seems to be getting a lot of attention for something that apparently resulted in no release of confidential information.

They will connect the health care database to party registration in county databases. That matching record set would then be provided to the Death Panels.

There is serious dirt here, possibly criminal. I lean towards the criminal, as Obama is a gangster thug.

RICH AMERICAN MUSLIM MAY HAVE HELPED OBAMA INTO HARVARD LAW SCHOOL
CHatham Republican Town Committee ^ | 10/4/08 | staff

Posted on Saturday, October 04, 2008 6:40:57 PM by pissant

When Barack Obama was seeking to get into Harvard Law School (he entered in the fall of 1988) he had the assistance of Khalid Al-Mansour, a Black Muslim and Black Nationalist who was a “mentor” to the founders of the Black Panther party at the time the party was founded in the early 1960s.

I’m curious if they actually got in and found anything.

If I know Obama, he arranged to have any incriminating student loan records expunged, well before the election.

That’s certainly what he did with the State Department Passport records.

So, the question is, were these guys too late? Or were some of them actually perhaps working for Obama and busy with the expungement? Why are they only firing and prosecuting this one guy, or is it just the case of some careless reporter failing to mention the rest of the story?

In any case, they’d better watch their step. One of the passport expungers was shot, just before he was called in to testify.
