Cable Networks Black Out Coverage on Wasserman Schultz IT Scandal
Washington Free Bacon ^ | 07/26/2017 | Elizabeth Harrington

Posted on 07/26/2017 4:54:11 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Major cable news networks have given no coverage to the burgeoning scandal involving IT staffers to former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.

Reporting by the Daily Caller News Foundation has revealed that Wasserman Schultz's top information technology staffer Iman Awan was arrested Monday after trying to flee the country amidst investigations into Awan concerning banking fraud and a criminal cybersecurity probe. Awan wired over $280,000 to Pakistan after the FBI recently recovered multiple smashed hard drives from Awan's home.

Despite being blocked from the House computer network since February amid allegations of "committing serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network," Awan remained employed by Wasserman Schultz's office. He and four of his relatives have received $4 million by working for Democratic members of Congress since 2009.

Wasserman Schultz finally fired Awan on Tuesday, after he attempted to flee the country. His wife already fled to Pakistan with $12,000 in cash. Awan and his relatives had full access to the emails of the Democratic members they worked for, and Wasserman Schultz's password to her iPad she used while she was head of the DNC.

There has been no mention of Iman Awan or Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the past week on MSNBC or CNN programs. Schultz has hardly been mentioned on either network since March 1, except in the context of a possible email she had sent in which Loretta Lynch had assured a Hillary Clinton staffer that the email investigation would not go "too far."

It just shows how cable news will continue to drive itself into irrelevancy. People already know Hillary got the kid gloves treatment big time from CNN and other outlets so this is not terribly surprising either. The silly “Chicks on the Right” page on Facebook had a headline about MSNBC leading the cable news ratings now over Fox. But that is of who is actually still bothering to tune into them.

The activities of the propaganda media must be considered payments in kind to the dimocrat party. There must be tax and campaign finance law issues.

There is far more on those computer drives than colluding with Pakistanies. Bet there is all kinds of unlawful conduct documented on those drives.

Bye, Bye, Debbie
I'm gonna miss you so;
Bye Bye Debbie
Why'd ya have to go?
No more sunshine,
It's followed you away;
I'll cry Debbie,
Till you're home to stay.
I'll miss the way you smile,
As tho’ it's just for me;
And each and ev’ry night,
I'll write you faithfully!
Bye, Bye, Debbie,
It's awful hard to bear;
Bye Bye Debbie
Guess I'll always care,
Guess I'll always care,
Guess I'll always care!

With sincere apologies to the gorgeous Ann Margaret.

Is anyone surprised that the Dems and Wasserman-Schultz want to brush all this under the swamp’s rug...
