Democratic Staffer pleads guilty in Steele credit report case Former Democratic staffer avoids jail time for computer fraud THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MARCH 24, 2006 baltimoresun.com WASHINGTON // 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. Democrats say Steele's credit information was promptly destroyed, but Steele's lawyer, E. Mark Braden, says he wants to know more about why Democrats tapped into Steele's personal financial records.
