Ethics Watchdog Files Complaint Against Wasserman Schultz
[DAILYCALLER] A non-partisan ethics watchdog filed a complaint Monday with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
...Congresswoman from Florida, the abrasive chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She has been a politician since 1992, and prior to that was in training as a political science major. Her primary accomplishment seems to be that she's Jewish...
in relationship with the developing House IT scandal.

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) focused the complaint on the fact that Wasserman Schultz continued to employ and paid House IT aide Imran Awan, even while he was under criminal investigation and banned from the House computer network.

The FBI jugged
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!
Awan on bank fraud charges last week as he attempted to flee the country to Pakistain, where he had recently wired almost $300,000. Awan and several of his family members who worked for dozens of House Democrats are suspected of stealing computers and improperly accessing and transferring House members’ computer files.

#3  More like watch mutt.

#4  I understand Awan's asset liquidation and transfer to Pakistan is continuing.

#1  Good - now make it painful.

#2  Hopefully the Persian Rodent ValJar is guilty too

#3  now make it painful

Oh, it will be. Rhodes is a nincompoop, but his interrogators in congress are also. Avoid watching it on CSPAN if it's open testimony.

#4  An intelligence source, said "it's like hell and high water to fill out and gain approval for these types of unmaskings. It's something analysts take seriously and could entail filling out 80 pages of paperwork to prove there is a need to unmask.

Copy/paste the form, inserting only the name to be revealed. 80 pages = 80 seconds of paperwork.

#5  Still waiting for "The Smoking Gun" to start reporting stories on the clean-out, arrests and convictions of the D.C.criminals. The MSM will never report these stories as they are more intent on the cover-ups.

#6  Now?
Posted by: Barbara || 08/02/2017 13:47 Comments || Top||

#7  I really doubt that anything will come of this. All of the people mentioned so far (Ben Rhodes, Samantha Power, ValJar) are high level DEMOCRATS from the Obama administration. As a result, they are automatically exempt from the laws that apply to us peasants.

#8  Just a guess, but this whole unmasking thing had more to do with team-manship than anything else.

#1  Good Luck !

#2  I hope we are not going to find that he has two feet planted firmly in the "Swamp."
Posted by: JohnQC || 08/02/2017 8:42 Comments || Top||

#3  The background I read has him as a paper ADA with litigation but little investigation and no counter-terrorism experience. Safe for everybody.
