Obama data miner faces deportation

We reported here the story of nine employees of a US Department of Education contractor, who were indicted in federal court in Iowa, for illegally accessing student loan records for Barack Obama. This minor story provided us with a glimpse at what would be in store for election workers in Hawaii, should it be found that they accessed federal databases to peek at Obama’s records.

Mercedes Costoyas, 53, of Iowa City, plead guilty in federal court yesterday (June 16, 2010). With her guilty plea, she could receive up to 6 months in jail and deportation. This was reported in the Quad City Times.

The other 8 defendants have a trial date in July.

Birther freed pending trial

So reads a headline from the Knoxville News Sentinel.

An alleged Georgia militiaman [Darren Wesley Huff] arrested on federal charges in what authorities describe as a scheme to seize the Monroe County courthouse and make a series of citizen’s arrests for treason has been freed pending trial.

The Associated Press said:

An FBI affidavit says Huff came to Tennessee on April 20 to help a Sweetwater man [Walter Fitzpatrick] charged after he tried to arrest a grand jury foreman who refused to indict President Barack Obama on treason charges.

Obama will not appear at Lakin court martial

In an order yesterday, Lt. Col. Daniel J. Driscoll investigating officer in the court martial of Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, the birther army officer who refused deployment until Obama proves his eligibility, refused to accept President Obama on Lakin’s witness list. Lakin is not going to be able to argue in his defense that the President is not eligible. Not to say “I told you so”, but I told you so. Every military legal expert who has commented on this has said Lakin has no case. Why didn’t Lakin’s attorney, Paul Jensen, tell him that too? The following list of documents was also refused:

Puhahau school documents
Punahau school records
Hawaii State Dept. of Health records
Occidental College records
Columbia University records
Harvard University records

A list of witnesses associated with the above was also denied. However, Dr. Alan Keyes was allowed as a witness, although the defense did not explain to the court the relevance of his testimony. Also unexplained but accepted was Maj. General (retired) Paul Vallely, senior military analyst for Fox News, and contributor to WorldNetDaily.

The investigating officer pointed out that President Obama did not directly give any order to LTC Lakin, and that facially proper orders must be obeyed unless carrying them out would be a criminal act. The court pointed out that the Defense arguments lacked scholarly authority (shoddy work, I would say). He added:

The Defense … fails to assert a legal basis by which its request might be allowable under the law of political questions, whereby courts will refrain from inserting themselves in matters constituti0nally relegated to coequal branches of Government. The Defense quest to use a military justice forum to invalidate all military authority while undermining the authority of a sitting United States President certainly appears at first blush to be a nonjusticiable political question.

Trial set for alleged Obama record peekers

Dr. Conspiracy — Tue, 25 May 2010 02:48:01 +0000

The Quad City Times reports that 9 US Department of Education contractors who allegedly accessed President Obama’s student loan records both before and after the election, were arraigned today (May 24) in federal court in Davenport, Iowa.

All plead not guilty. The trial date is set for July 6.

Alan Keyes endorses Lakin strategy

Dr. Conspiracy — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 02:55:34 +0000

In a Fox News report we learn that failed presidential candidate Alan Keyes thinks Lt. Col. Terry Lakin is on the right track disobeying orders to force the issue of Obama’s eligibility at a court martial. Keyes said:

It is a matter of common sense that he would be allowed to put on a defense that explains why he did what he did…. And that means he would be allowed to conduct an investigation that would establish his reason.

Not so according to several military lawyers contacted by Fox News:

“He is likely to lose everything and accomplish nothing,” one attorney lamented. “No military judge will say that (obtaining documents) of the president is necessary to prove the charges,” said Philip D. Cave, a Washington attorney and director of the National Institute of Military Justice.

One notes that the Uniform Code of Military Justice, not “common sense” will be the standard by which Lakin will be tried and the only “investigation that would establish his reason” will be a psychiatric examination.
