Chuck Schumer's researcher at the DSCC has plead guilty to stealing Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele's credit report, and — as Democrats tend to — will avoid jail time...
A former Democratic staffer pleaded guilty today to computer fraud for snooping on Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele.

Under the plea agreement in U.S. District Court, Lauren B. Weiner, 25, avoids jail time, but she has a year to do 150 hours of community service.

Steele -- a Republican running for U.S. Senate -- was notified by Democrats in Washington that a staffer used Steele's Social Security number to obtain his credit report last year. Weiner was fired from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee after the breach was discovered.

Missing from both the story and the plea is the name of Chuck Schumer, the chairman of the DSCC, for whom Weiner was working for.

But the matter is not over yet, as Michael Steele may sue...

An attorney for Michael S. Steele said yesterday that the lieutenant governor and Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate might file a lawsuit to learn more about an episode in which a Democratic researcher accessed his credit report.

Lauren B. Weiner , a former staff member at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, has been charged by federal prosecutors with obtaining Steele's report without authorization and is scheduled to appear in court tomorrow.

During a conference call with reporters, E. Mark Braden , an attorney for Steele, said the lieutenant governor might sue Weiner and the Democratic committee if several questions about the episode are not answered in the court proceedings, in which Weiner is expected to accept a plea arrangement that could result in charges being dropped in a year.
