Re: Sarah Palin's Yahoo Account Hacked

said by JPL:

And you KNOW that she used it to hide official business, right? Has there been ANY such allegation? No there hasn't. If such an allegation comes forward, then fine, investigate.

...

What these perps did is illegal. It's a violation of Alaska state law (punishable by up to 2 years) AND a violation of federal law (up to 5 years).
There is a pending lawsuit on behalf of several Republican state legislators in Alaska seeking access to the Yahoo accounts and alleging that just such a thing happened. Palin's lawyers have been fighting the subpeona for months.

Incidentally, no part of this incident took place in Alaska; and possibly no part crossed state lines (making it difficult to bring Federal charges based on the way the particular laws arre written).
