Trump Is Right: A ‘Pakistani Mystery Man’ Has Documents Wasserman Schultz Didn’t Want Prosecutors To See
[DAILYCALLER] On Friday, President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
tweeted: "Just heard the Campaign was sued by the Obstructionist Democrats. This can be good news in that we will now counter for the DNC Server that they refused to give to the FBI, the 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...
Servers and Documents held by the Pak mystery man and Clinton Emails."

Trump appears to have accurately identified a key issue with the "Pak mystery man" that comes straight from court documents.
  • Lawyers for Pak-born Imran Awan currently have a copy of the contents of a laptop with the username RepDWS

  • Wasserman Schultz wanted to block prosecutors from seeing what was on it

  • Imran’s lawyers have attempted to set up a situation where it is up to Imran whether prosecutors can see the laptop, claiming "attorney client privilege"

  • Other analysts say the laptop should be fair game for review
Each twist has increased the intrigue:
  • On Feb. 2, 2017, Imran was banned from the House computer network for making "unauthorized access" to congressional data, according to the House inspector general

  • This happened not long after Wasserman Schultz was fired from the DNC after a cyber breach, yet she refused to fire Imran or even put him on paid leave, claiming that an IT aide didn’t need to access the internet to do his job

  • Wasserman Schultz’s refusal to fire him meant he had continued physical access to the congressional office buildings, even though all of his other part-time employers fired him and he knew there was an ongoing criminal investigation

  • On April 5, 2017, despite not being allowed to connect to the House network, he was in possession of a laptop with the username RepDWS and left it in a phone booth, where it was picked up by police who confiscated it because they recognized that it was left there by a criminal suspect

#5  The next court date is set for May 4, though could be postponed a sixth time.

Another betrayal coming on Cassinga Day. Who could have known ?

#7  It seems like everything the Dems have tried has been turned back against them. Maybe it's the Dems who are really the party of stupid and not the Pubs. The Pubs might be considered the party of Spineless.

#8  Well, he's getting some good intel from someone and he's been bang on to all of these "things" that continue to swirl about the dems.

Odd that the dems don't understand discovery and how filing a law suit essentially opens your kimono on what information you have.

#9  The unstoppable stupid meets the immovable spineless.

Seems to work.

Romney Loses Utah GOP Convention, Derailing Senate Coronation
[NYMAG] Months before 84-year-old Utah senator Orrin Hatch
...Republican Senator-for-Life from Utah. The state does have two senators but nobody can remember who the other guy is...
announced his retirement, polls showed Willard Mitt Romney
...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals....
easily winning the race to replace him. When Romney received Hatch’s blessing to enter the contest, and quickly secured an endorsement from President Trump, he had every reason to think that he’d sail to victory. But that’s not how things work for Willard Mitt Romney.

Romney was narrowly defeated at Saturday’s Republican state convention, receiving 49 percent of the vote to state Representative Mike Kennedy’s 51 percent. That means he’ll have to face a primary race, like some pleb who wasn’t governor of Massachusetts and the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, with a car elevator to boot.

While this is a setback, Romney is still very likely to win the Senate race in November. He’d already qualified for the June 26 primary ballot by collecting more than 28,000 signatures ‐ which Romney pointed to as the reason for his second-place finish. As the Salt Lake Tribune reports, for the past few years Utah conservatives have been fighting to overturn the law that allows signature gathering, since it weakens the power of the state convention.

"I know there were many people who were not enthusiastic about someone gathering signatures," Romney said, adding that pursuing the nomination through both signatures and the convention "was right for me. I’m glad I did it that way."

#1  Perhaps he can run as a Democrat. Democrats run as Republicans all the time and then if they lose the Dem won, and if they win the Dem covertly won.

#2  an endorsement from President Trump

I actually think Trump knew he was going to lose round 1 but endorsed him to let him know who's the big boss, the electorate.

#3  He can't even win at home.
Must have done something to piss off the temple.

#4  He was gov of Mass. Mormons probably dislike carpetbaggers like everyone else (except NY).
Posted by: Rjschwarz || 04/24/2018 7:41 Comments || Top||

#5  Even as Governor of Mass., he gave us Romneycare, the precursor to Obamacare. Losing this race would be karma for him passing that law.

#6  McConnell's people no doubt already digging up dirt on Kennedy just in case they need to lob this one to the Democrats.
Posted by: Iblis || 04/24/2018 10:01 Comments || Top||

#7  IMHO the trust factor for Romney among the Pub voters is not high.
