Roughly a month ago someone cracked into Sarah Palin’s Yahoo! email. At that time there seemed to be very little outrage from the press and there appeared to be little to no reaction from law enforcement. Well, turns out the FBI didn’t forget about this case…

David Kernell, 20, of Knoxville, Tenn., the son of state Rep. Mike Kernell, was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge C. Clifford Shirley, according to a statement from the Justice Department…Kernell, an economics major at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, faces a maximum of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and a three-year term of supervised release.”

As David’s father is a Democrat and the chairman of Tennessee’s House Government Operations Committee, you can bet he’s worried about his job right about now.
