From The Washington Post (via Drudge):

Federal prosecutors have decided to bring charges against a Democratic researcher accused of fraudulently obtaining a credit report on Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, now a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate.

Lauren B. Weiner, who has since resigned from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in Washington, will be charged with obtaining the report without authorization, according to a letter sent to Steele by the U.S. attorney's office in the District.

What would you bet this would be on page A1, not B4, if it were a Republican being charged with snooping into the personal financial records of a Democrat, complete with comparisons to Watergate and allusions to every other Republican ever accused of wrongdoing? This is of course rhetorical question.
