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.
If you aware of this story all hush hush on the liberal medias lips, they recovered smashed electronics that the feds say they will be able to recover the data. Wasserman demanded the equipment be returned or she would get them in hot water, so she is aware of the hijinx of the brothers. Perhaps the top secret material shut down with Clintons server scandal needed to be rebooted. Best Wassermans brother hasnt recused himself from the investigation. http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2017/07/30/wasserman-schultzs-brother-is-in-charge-of-the-awan-investigation/ How cozy, first a murder swept away now perhaps high treason.
As if we needed another example of the corrupt liberal media covering for the corrupt liberal left… here’s this. While they do somersaults creating false accusations of “Russian collusion” and “obstruction of justice”, the Democrat leadership employing Pakistani hackers and paying them like they knew EXACTLY what they were doing is just ignored.
As is Obama’s unmasking.
As is the continuous leaking.
As is Hillary’s ongoing email saga.
As is Mueller packing his “investigation” team with Hillary and Obama supporters.
