From the Iowa Republican:
Barack Obama’s 2008 Iowa New Media Director was arrested Friday for attempting to use the identities of Secretary of State Matt Schultz [a Republican], and/or his brother Thomas, with the intent to falsely implicate the Secretary Schultz in illegal or unethical behavior. Zach Edwards, 29, of Des Moines, currently works for Link Strategies, a Democrat-affiliated organization with ties to Iowa Senator Tom Harkin. Edwards is the Director of New Media for Link Strategies.
The Secretary of State’s office discovered the alleged crime and reported it to authorities. Edwards turned himself in to the Iowa DCI agents Friday afternoon. He was charged with identity theft, a misdemeanor, and booked into the Polk County jail. Edwards posted $2,000 bail and was released later on Friday. He faces up to two years in prison.
The report goes on to explain that the Democratic party in Iowa has targeted Secretary Schultz since his election in November, attempting to portray him as unethical. The Iowa Department of Public Safety press release (with a link to the criminal complaint against the defendant Zach Edwards) is here.
40 years after Watergate, yet the political meatball dirty tricksters continue to replicate.
Hopefully Matt Schultz can sue the Reptile-in-Training, Zach Edwards broke.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseKeep in mind that the Iowa Secretary of State oversees all elections and voter registrations in the State of Iowa. So it is not just any official that they were trying to smear and get rid of but the elected official in charge of upholding the integrity of the voting process in Iowa. So if this criminal activity goes any deeper it could be a really big deal!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseGeorge Soros has poured millions of dollars into his SOS (Secretary of State) Project and Democrat think tanks at local levels. He was successful with the project until 2010 when the first part of the Republican Revolution occurred. Things are beginning to change but he's still probably investing in fraud because the Democrats have no principles to run on...

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI can actually remember a time when Democrats had the decency to be really, really embarrassed about a story like this one.
Of course, I'm getting pretty old.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI would like to say I'm shocked but nothing surprises me anymore. Anything to win is the new motto - Chicago style is the name of the motto.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseThis is the third of three recent prominent frauds. The first was the Iowa Republican Party declaring that Romney had won the caucus when in fact it was actually Santorum - which they knew at the time. The second was James O'Keefe orchestrating voter fraud in NH. All three are vile.
