Hope springs eternal.

#3 Wasserman-Schultz is a little late in the game. She is trying to distance herself from this mook by firing him. We should be so lucky as to have her flee to Pakistain.

#6 Media will be all over this, like a pillow to smother it so it dies. The other side of FAKE NEWS, the real stuff they never proportionately cover.

#7 Apparently Awan had DWS's iPad pwd and access to her emails. What I want to know is Awan's link to the ISI. If only we had a real counter- intelligence investigation agency...

#11 With their money troubles, family feuds and shady business dealings and total deniable access to powerful congressional Democrats' data stash the Awans were too perfect bait for foreign intelligence agencies.

Was this another(?) botched(?) honeypot operation?
Were they playing a role similar to Alec Leamas', or is this yet another example of Western politicians' suicidal naivete?

#12 He said Awan was cleared to travel and had informed the House of his plans to visit his family before the scheduled trip.

"See? I sent them an email. Got a a 'read receipt' and all that sh*t!"
