Tennessee Democrat State Rep's son under investigation for hacking Palin

David Kernell, a 20-year old student at University of Tennessee and son of Democratic State Representative Mike Kernell, is facing some serious whoop-ass from the feds for his youthful hijnks of hacking into the email account of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed there has been "investigatory activity" in Knoxville regarding the Palin case, but she said there are no publicly available search warrants, and no charges have been filed.

A separate law enforcement source confirmed to 10 News that a search warrant was served on Kernell's apartment.

According to the witness, several agents arrived at The Commons of Knoxville around midnight.

They presented their badges upon entering Kernell's apartment, where several students were having a party, and took down their names.

The witness tells us they asked him and those who did not live in the unit to go outside. He believes the investigators took about 1.5 to 2 hours taking pictures of everything inside the apartment. WBIR

The dumbass kid has also earned his roommates a trip to Chattanooga so they, unlike the First Dude and the Palinistas, can comply with subpoenas for their testimony.
