Nigerian Obama Supporters Have Stolen Palin's E-Mail?

This sounds like the type of criminality that originates in Nigeria. If you are on Sarah Palin's e-mail list expect a note asking you to wire thousands of dollars to Lagos, Nigeria because Sarah has lost her passport and her money while enjoying the wonders of Lagos. Yes some supporters of Barack Obama have hacked into Sarah Palin's Yahoo account and spread her private photos, e-mails and contact list around the Internet. Gawker is now displaying the e-mails. If I may steal a recurring reminder from Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit, Keep it Classy Democrats.

Michelle Malkin has the story and helpfully reminds us that it is a federal crime to hack into an e-mail account. I wonder if it is also a crime to pass on known stolen material while stating that it is stolen?
