Obama operative caught in dirty trick scheme
Zach Edwards, 29, of Des Moines, Barack Obama’s 2008 Iowa New Media Director, was arrested yesterday for stealing the Iowa Secretary of State’s identity in order to the appearance that Matt Schultz, and his brother Thomas were involved in illegal activities;
Zach Edwards’ bio on Link Strategies website says he joined the Obama campaign in early 2007 as an intern in Nevada. He eventually joined the New Media department and directed their operations in five other primary states. He was the Iowa Director of New Media for Barack Obama’s general election campaign. After the election, Edwards joined Link Strategies, “where he provides innovative web-based research tools, video analysis and production, and web-based communication tools to assist our clients,” according to the bio.
So I guess Chicago politics don’t work so well in Iowa.

This seems to be bigger than that. Seems the same day Edwards is alleged to have stolen the SecState’s identity, the Dem Part of Iowa launched a campaign to remove SecState Schultz from office for ethical/criminal wrongdoing.
These things don’t happen in a vacuum, or for free.
Again; nothing to see here, move along.
I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell…. Ok, I can’t even type that with a straight face.
And Edwards is linked to Tom Harkin?
