Complete Media Blackout On Wasserman Schultz Scandal

We read what our made up mind tells us.
Trumpies 80% white old farts sucking off their commie benefits

 

______
So you deny that former DNC Chairman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz threatened the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police with ‘consequences’ for holding equipment that she says belongs to her. This evidence will be used to build a criminal case against Pakistani DNC IT staffer Imran Awan suspected of massive cybersecurity breaches.

 

Better than a government funded pot head that believes he should make as much as his boss.

 

I find that sources who come forward and grant interviews are the most reliable. Tipsters who phone it in I think are far less credible, and I wouldn't stake my personal reputation on "anonymous" ... But knock yourself out.

 

Wtf are you talking about? You can hate on bush all you want we're used to it.

 

And that means what?

The Scandal That Matters
Democratic IT staff who had access to sensitive data stand accused of fraud.

Imran Awan was arrested at Dulles International Airport July 24, while attempting to board a flight to Pakistan. For more than a decade the congressional staffer had worked under top House Democrats, and he had just been accused by the FBI of bank fraud.

It was a dramatic moment in a saga that started in February, when Capitol Police confirmed an investigation into Mr. Awan and his family on separate accusations of government theft. The details are tantalizing: The family all worked for top Democrats, were paid huge sums, and had access to sensitive congressional data, even while having ties to Pakistan.

The media largely has ignored the affair, the ho-hum coverage summed up by a New York Times piece suggesting it may be nothing more than an “overblown Washington story, typical of midsummer.” But even without evidence of espionage or blackmail, this ought to be an enormous scandal.
Because based on what we already know, the Awan story is—at the very least—a tale of massive government incompetence that seemingly allowed a family of accused swindlers to bilk federal taxpayers out of millions and even put national secrets at risk. In a more accountable world, House Democrats would be forced to step down.

Mr. Awan, 37, began working for House Democrats as an IT staffer in 2004. By the next year, he was working for future Democratic National Committee head Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Over time he would add his wife, two brothers, a brother’s wife and a friend to the payroll—and at handsome sums. One brother, Jamal, hired in 2014 reportedly at age 20, was paid $160,000. That’s in line with what a chief of staff makes—about four times the average Capitol Hill staffer. No Democrat appears to have investigated these huge numbers or been asked to account for them.

According to an analysis by the Daily Caller’s Luke Rosiak, who has owned this story, the family has collected $5 million since 2003 and “appeared at one time or another on an estimated 80 House Democrats’ payrolls.” Yet Mr. Rosiak interviewed House staffers who claim most of the family were “ghost” employees and didn’t come to work. Only in government does nobody notice when staffers fail to show up.

The family was plenty busy elsewhere. A litany of court documents accuse them of bankruptcy fraud, life-insurance fraud, tax fraud and extortion. Abid Awan, a brother, ran up more than $1 million in debts on a failed car dealership he somehow operated while supposedly working full time on the Hill. One document ties the family to a loan from a man stripped of his Maryland medical license after false billing. Capitol Police are investigating allegations of procurement fraud and theft. The brothers filed false financial-disclosure forms, with Imran Awan claiming his wife had no income, even as she worked as a fellow House IT staffer.

This is glaringly shady stuff, in no way “typical,” yet nobody noticed. Federal contractors are subject to security standards, but individual congressional offices have giant leeway over their hiring—and apparently no quality control. If a private firm had such shoddy employee oversight, it’d be sued into oblivion.

The most recent FBI affidavit accuses Imran Awan of defrauding the Congressional Federal Credit Union by lying about the use of his rental properties to get a $165,000 home-equity loan—which he immediately wrapped into a $283,000 wire transfer to Pakistan. At one point, when the credit union asked Mr. Awan (who was pretending to be his wife on the phone) why he wanted to send money to Pakistan, he replied, “funeral arrangements.”

Told this was not an acceptable reason, Mr. Awan went to “look online for an acceptable reason” and responded “buying property.” The bright bulbs at the credit union approved the transfer. His wife was already in Pakistan. The FBI stopped her at the airport in March, and despite finding $12,400 in undeclared cash (in excess of the legal limit), they let her go. Seriously.

Imran Awan has pleaded not guilty to bank fraud. The law office representing him issued a statement casting the investigation as “part of a frenzy of anti-Muslim bigotry in the literal heart of our democracy.” It calls the accusations “utterly unsupported, outlandish, and slanderous.”

Yes, it is weird that Ms. Wasserman Schultz continued to shield Imran Awan to the end. Yes, the amounts of money, and the ties to Pakistan, are strange. Yes, it is alarming that emails show Imran Awan knew Ms. Wasserman Schultz’s iPad password, and that the family might have had wider access to the accounts of lawmakers on the House Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees.


Yet even if this never adds up to a spy thriller, it outranks most of the media’s other obsessions. The government, under the inattentive care of Democrats, may have been bilked for ages by a man the FBI has alleged to be a fraudster. That’s the same government Democrats say is qualified to run your health care, reform your children’s schools, and protect the environment. They should explain this first.

So totally irresponsible DNC operatives allowed wider access to the accounts of lawmakers on the House Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees to some Pakistanis, who most likely have already been briefed by ISI (Pakistani Intelligence). And the full access to Debbie’s iPad. Astonishing. It doesn’t get any closer to treason. Amazingly enough, some liberal morons prefer to chase non-existent unicorns instead of dealing with the irrefutable facts. What are the republicans waiting for? What is the DOJ waiting for? Round up everyone responsible for this most shameless disclosure of the USA secrets to Pakistanis.

 

The REAL scandals are coming from the Democrats from Obama down the DNC. The Trump administration needs to launch a full blown investigation into their many crimes.

 

Facts and truth are meaningless to people who have 0 standards. The "truth" to them is whatever benefits them politically.

 

The desperate propaganda attempt to divert attention from the vicissitudes of Trumpery by hyping moribund matters of bygone days has fizzled, largely because the hysterical claims of Fox and the House berserkers are being ignored by the GOP's Senate Republicans, as the Trump Justice Department Special Counsel inexorably executes his assigned mission.

Once Mueller subpoenas Trumps concealed tax returns that he had repeatedly promised to release to the public, Americans should expect rapid progress in exposure of the truth.

 

Why doesn't Harry Reid ask his buddies at the IRS to release his tax returns like he did Romney?

 

Furtive, desperate diversions are so amusing! You should give that one to Trump, Jr., Kushner. Manafort, Sessions, Flynn, etc. to blurt out in response to every question from the Trump Justice Department's Special Prosecutor's investigative panel. It would be a refreshing mantra in lieu of their all parroting the fifth amendment.

 

"Commie benefits" I've seen you post this before, what does it mean?

 

<---stupid, fake, Russia excuse for Hillary's loss that only the Hillary landslide, establishment worshipping propaganda parrots buy.

If wiener ran against trump, we all know who you would support

0 class, 0 standards, 0 credibility

 

If defending Podesta/wiener benefits you politically, you're gonna do it.

Pretty nasty. How low will you go?

You'd vote for wiener if he ran.

 

You are confused. I have neither attacked, defended, nor indulged in speculation concerning transgressions of others, real or imagined, to avoid and/or digress from the present plight of trumpery.

The Trump Justice Department, the Republican-run Senate, and the Republican-run House have all determined that the Trump/Russia scandal merits investigation and, obviously, they are privy to information that allows them to far better determine what is actually suspect in that regard - if they can put their obvious partisan considerations aside and dispassionately decide, of course. So far, I can see no reason to impugn their objectivity in discharging their responsibilities to the nation.

 

If you need to pretend that the Trump Justice Department, the Republican-run Senate, and the Republican-run House have all convoked investigative panels, not to uncover the nature of Putin's machinations to befoul the US democratic process and expose any miscreants complicit in it, but to somehow redeem the candidate whom Americans preferred by a margin of 2.9 million, I fail to see that as their common motivation.

It makes no sense.

 

We know the collective will justify any action that benefits them including cheating in elections rigging elections cheating in debates Etc. The fact that the liberal states where those three million votes came from won't give up their voter rolls says it all.

 

Your fantasy says it all for you.

Meanwhile the Trump Justice Department Special Counsel's investigation, and those of the Republican-run Senate and Republican-run House are confronting the reality.

 

In reality where I'm from America's competitors rather have the party of managed decline policy then the party of make America great. Putin can buy uranium from Hillary make underhanded deals with Obama and you give them a total pass. Why would Putin want a guy like me in Power in America when he could have someone like Hillary who he's already compromised.

It makes no sense and it's stupid.

 

There is nothing to prevent you from being alienated from America, or from sulking about Obama, Clinton - or Soupy Sales - if that is your wont.

Meanwhile, most Americans agree that Trump stinks, and the Trump Justice Department Special Counsel, and the Republican-run Senate and Republican-run House proceed with the investigations they have all determined are appropriate.

 

They will never get Trump's tax returns without being fired. That's way too much scope creep. If you can't find a financial issue without doing there, you don't have anything.
