FBI serves search warrant against Sarah Palin’s email hacker!
Posted by Carlos C. on Sunday, September 21st, 2008 at 6:24 pmA person who identified himself as a witness tells 10 News that agents with the FBI served a federal search warrant at the Fort Sanders residence of David Kernell early Sunday morning. Kernell lives in the Commons apartment complex at 1115 Highland Avenue.
A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed there has been “investigatory activity” in Knoxville regarding the Palin case, but she said there are no publicly available search warrants, and no charges have been filed.
A separate law enforcement source confirmed to 10 News that a search warrant was served on Kernell’s apartment.
According to the witness, several agents arrived at The Commons of Knoxville around midnight.
They presented their badges upon entering Kernell’s apartment, where several students were having a party, and took down their names.
The witness tells us they asked him and those who did not live in the unit to go outside. He believes the investigators took about 1.5 to 2 hours taking pictures of everything inside the apartment.
He says Kernell’s three roommates were also subpoenaed, and must testify this week in Chattanooga.

Was he drinking underage, too?

UPDATE 1: I want to give some shout-outs to other websites blogging about this FBI search, especially since the mainstream liberal media have decided to drop this story from their coverage.
Also, David Kernell changed Sarah Palin’s email password to “popcorn”. Kernell? Popcorn? It is ingenious.

I wonder if they got his computer. Nobody seems to say either way. If the boy was smart which isn’t likely, he found a way to destroy his computer. More likely, if his dad was smart which is more plausible, he advised his son to get rid of the computer.
But for the sake of Justice, I hope that the kid’s computer was sitting where it’s always been.
