Complete Media Blackout On Wasserman Schultz Scandal

Morning Jolt:
The Increasingly Bizarre Criminal Investigation of Schultz’s IT Aide.

Back in February, five House staffers were accused of “stealing equipment from members’ offices without their knowledge and committing serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network.”

A few days later, another odd twist was revealed, as at least four of the accused staffers come from the same family: Imran Awan, his wife Hina Alvi, Abid Awan and Jamal Awan.

Imran Awan was first employed on Capitol Hill by former Rep. Robert Wexler in January 2004 as an “information technology director.” Awan has worked for at least 25 other House Democrats since that time as a shared employee providing technical support including to previous House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra, currently the California attorney general.

Then it got even weirder in late May, when Blabbermouth Schultz had a tense exchange with the U.S. Capitol Police chief during a hearing, appearing to threaten “consequences” over the police’s refusal to return equipment belonging to her that is presumably connected to this investigation.

Blabbermouth Schultz: “Under my understanding the Capitol Police is not able to confiscate members’ equipment when the member is not under investigation. It is their equipment and it’s supposed to be returned.”

Verderosa: “I think there’s extenuating circumstances in this case, and I think that working through my counsel and the necessary personnel, if that in fact is the case, and with the permission of, through the investigation, then we’ll return the equipment. But until that’s accomplished I can’t return the equipment.”

Blabbermouth Schultz: “I think you’re violating the rules when you conduct your business that way and should expect that there would be consequences.” In a public hearing, a member of the appropriations committee* that controls funding for the U.S. Capitol Police appears to be telling the chief to give her stuff back or suffer consequences!

This week, the case took another dramatic turn when the FBI arrested Imran Awan Monday evening as he was about to board a flight to Lahore, Pakistan. Awan and his wife, Hina Alvi, were accused of lying about a housing equity loan to pilfer $165,000 from the Congressional Federal Credit Union, according to documents filed in the District of Columbia. The couple obtained the loan for a rental property — rather than a primary residence. That money was then wired to Pakistan, documents allege. Alvi left the country suddenly in March. She pulled their three children from school and flew to Lahore, Pakistan, with “numerous pieces of luggage” and at least $12,000 cash. Investigators believe Awan was ready to do the same with a Monday flight bound for Pakistan, court documents show.

One final utterly bizarre oddity: Wasserman Schultz had him on staff until Tuesday. Why was Wasserman Schultz so impatient to get her computer back from the Capitol Police if it’s relevant to a criminal investigation?
Why did she keep Imran Awan on staff until this week?
Who’s got the money now?

What are you referring to?

WaPo printed that lead more than 24 hours after the fact and then attempted to nullify the story by claiming it's all about "Home Equity Fraud". The covered up the fact that hard drives were recovered in his garage and attempts to destroy said HD's were made. Then there's the threats made by Lil Debbie to the Chief of DC Police. In essence the WAPO piece was an attempt to deflect the facts.

 

Have they turned over their servers and devices for evidence? Otherwise the Dems aren't victims, they are running a cover up. Oh wait, they smashed them.

 

He gave us some obscure news sources. Miami Herald? Who reads that? It's not written in Spanish, so damn few.

 

Silly analysis based on RW blogs lol
You've got the DOJ, if they did something wrong then go get them

 

I actually agree with you here. Sessions needs to earn his keep. So far, I might as well be sitting in his chair.

 

That's a lie. Check it out instead of parroting fake news.

 

Let's also not forget how, under Wasserman-Shultz, the DNC rigged the primaries against Bernie Sanders. Not even the GOP would do that!

No news channels are talking about that!

 

lol it's a very high bar when you all expect him to prosecute every RW blog conspiracy theory.

 

Lotta facts floating around about this one. Dude worked for Wassy, smashed discs, wired money, fleeing the country.

 

Ignoring news stories has never worked in the past, and it won't work now. This will eventually make THEM the news story, that they are not reporting on it. Nothing gets reporters in line faster, than reporting on them.

The worst offender, as usual, is CNN. They have the biggest news bureau in the world, and a huge online presence. Yet, this story is NOWHERE to be found, which obviously means it's intentional, and the black out is coming from the top.

If you consider that WAPO spiked the initial Awan Brothers report(s) from February until today, I'd consider that their blackout could no longer maintained. At that they cloaked the scandal in a Home Equity Fraud.

 

Another turd-polishing post by our resident expert. @ speaking of 'puerile'.

You don't think anyone cares about what the Awan story means? Help Fitz with that polyp searching while you're down there, k?

 

Democrats and their cult following were created as victims. So you aren't telling us something that we don't already know. Just sayin.

 

Crooked Dems ... amazing. You can knock me over with a feather.

 

Grassley has to stay on top of it. The FBI is looking for more than just Bank Fraud.



Senate Democrats used a parliamentary maneuver Wednesday to cut short a high-profile hearing, where a key witness was set to testify on Russia's misdeeds and also raise fresh allegations against the company behind the infamous anti-Trump dossier.

Browder released written testimony ahead of the hearing but his public remarks were delayed when Democrats invoked the "two-hour rule" to protest Republican efforts to repeal ObamaCare. The seldom-used rule bars committees from meeting more than two hours after the full Senate begins a session.....snip~

victims always smash their hard drives everyone knows that lol

 

And everyone knows with our "watchdog" media and cowardly congress and DOJ they can get away with it.
It's more efficient than just pleading the 5th at a later date.

 

I'm beginning to think the whole DNC is flocked...

Yup. That's generally how it works.

Didn't think the swamp was this stinky. Who knew?

Ah, so the story has obviously been given full media coverage.

Oops. Spoke too soon.

Yeah, and this thing's just getting started. Buckle up, it's gonna be a fun ride!

I wonder when they'll go as high as the ileum what they'll find?

 

The DNC/MSM flock will just find a way to blame Trump for DWS and her Hezbollah IT guy breaking the law. Hillary will step in, kill a few people and payoff of few more to make it all go away.

 

It must be a strange existence to be a Liberal / Democrat. Both of the last heads of your party (Schultz, Brazille) were caught red handed as scumbags. Your presidential candidate is deemed the most corrupt of all and that is your only choice. The media you watch lies to you, refused to inform you, and feeds you nothing but the same talking points on virtually every channel and paper. It's a totally bizarre world.

 

Yes if we'd stop paying attention to real media we'd know important stuff from RW blogs...like Obamas born in Kenya, Hillary is going to prison, the clintons run a child sex ring from a pizza parlor, Hillary has Parkinson's, and now Debbie is going to jail for....something lol

 

It doesn't mean you need to follow the nutter crap. But let's face it, you Leftists are living in a alternate reality where Fast and Furious never happened (at least for a year), The IRS didn't attack Conservative Groups (except that they had to apologize for it), Hillary Clinton didn't destroy evidence under subpoena and Obstruct Justice (except that she did), Barack Obama didn't do a shady land deal with Tony Rezko (except all the documents are there and he did), Hillary Clinton did not have notes under subpoena show up years later outside her offices in the White House (except that it did happen), the list goes on, but the point is clear. Your media withholds, misreports (or straight up lies), and even creates false news.... AND YOU LEFTISTS DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
