Malkin IDs Democrat Debacle
Michelle Malkin has posted an extensive article on her blog about the recent “identity theft” of Maryland’s Republican Lt. Gov. Michael Steele. In her article, Ms. Malkin points out the recent activities of Democrats working for Sen. Charles Schumer at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. By inappropriately obtaining Steele’s social security number and pulling his credit report, the individuals could find themselves facing federal charges.
The surprising part, as Malkin sagely notes, is no one is expressing any ire that this Democratic committee which works to elect Democrates to the Senate, “has been compilling research on Steele, Maryland’s highest-ranking African-American official [and] GOP contender for the U.S. Senate seat to be vacated by Sarbanes in 2006.”
Bottom line, accessing someone’s credit inappropriately and/or without authorization is a crime. Identity theft is a threat of monumental proportions to all Americans. This incident should not only incense all Americans but show them the risk we all face as a result of easily accessed personal data.
