EXCERPT--- There is no place for Debbie Wasserman Schultz in House leadership or statewide office amid stories about the infamous Pakistani IT clan. More egregiously, she won’t explain why she kept Imran Awan on her payroll six months after she was told about the investigation into him, his family, and friends. She finally fired the grossly overpaid tech July 25, just one day after authorities arrested him on a seemingly unrelated mortgage fraud charge.
Dems don’t understand D/W/S's puzzling statements and political missteps....claiming she was a victim of “right wing media” and Awan was a victim of Islamophobia. “We wish she would go away and stop being so public by doubling down on negative stories,” said Nikki Barnes.
The Florida progressive believes D/W/S left the national party “in shambles” while chair, culminating with the hack of DNC servers and the release of embarrassing WikiLeaks in the 2016 campaign. As for Wasserman Schultz’s defense, Barnes said “none of this makes sense. It doesn’t sound like racial profiling … there must have been something in it for her.” Barnes said the Awan case is not just hurting D/W/S, it’s drawing negative attention to a party trying to recover from the losses and for the Bernie-DNC battle.
"DNC now means a lot of things, all negative, because of her reign," Barnes said. “This adds to D/W/S being rebranded as the Democrats’ disastrous destruction. Those of us on the DNC know we have to rebrand ourselves and earn the people’s trust. And unfortunately Debbie’s name does not scream trust. It screams power. It screams limited access. It screams WikiLeaks now. DNC lawsuit. It screams a lot of negative things to the public. That’s not how we want to rebrand ourselves.”
Barnes said she couldn’t understand why Wasserman Schultz made herself a target of attention by becoming the lone Democrat to employ Awan and then publicly threatening the US Capitol Police chief with “consequences” in a dispute over a secreted office laptop under investigation.
“Debbie Wasserman Schultz is still a national figure, but unfortunately for her it’s because so many people around the country see her as playing a devastatingly bad role in the last election,” said R.T. Rybak, the former mayor of Minneapolis and former DNC vice -chair who clashed with her. “I mention her name and it gets a viscerally negative reaction In Minneapolis and in other parts of the country. Sadly, I think she deserves the negative reputation.”
“In politics, you’re as strong as your friends. And she doesn’t have as many as she used to. And that’s her fault,” Morgan said. Who added that the power went to her head and the more she was criticized, the more paranoid she became.
To Democrats like the DNC’s Barnes, she’s a distraction the party can ill afford. “Everything that’s going on right now is taking away from what success we’re seeing in the grass-roots movement. No one’s hearing our good news because the headlines are focused on D/W/S, her misplaced laptop and consequences,” Barnes said, referring to her threats to the Capitol Hill police chief.
“Trump should send 20 FBI agents there to find out what really happened.”?
Come on Claws, you have any confidence in the FBI for any reason at this point?
There’s Maxine and Nanzi to help out.
Yeah!! Maybe he should send the same G-men that interviewed Hitlery over the July 4th weekend....and call Kalstrom out of retirement to lead it....
Me, I want her to run for President, with Weiner for vice President.
Thelma and Louise ride again......LOL.
I’ve read the DWS is one of the least wealthy congress critter. Me thinks she did it for money somehow,
Great map—here in CT that big story is a big secret—even the Republicans here won’t talk about it.
In 2016 while the Democrats swept all statewide races and Congressional races the “Trump effect” took hold in the local races for the state house and senate.
As a result the legislature just overrode the governor’s veto and stopped many years of state “affordable housing” initiatives from spreading into the suburbs.
Trump made that happen—and everyone in the state can deny it as loudly as they wish—but that is the simple fact here in the belly of the liberal beast.
She’s no Hillary Clinton
Oh, by all means, no... Let’s keep her. She’s done such a bang-up job!!!
She deserves a RAISE, actually!!!! :^)
Keep it up, Deb. We want you to keep talking, along with Nancy Pelousy and Mad Maxine.
I have a feeling Debbie’s gonna impact long after she’s gone.....
Everytime the Paki clan gets mentioned, she’ll get mentioned.
1. Blackmail
2. Desperation
3. We "gotta" hang together or we will hang separately.
Maybe she’s drinking too much swamp water. Symptoms seem to mimic McCain, Pelosi, Waters et al.
This gal is super-ambitious. D/W/S actually has a spreadsheet of "people who owe her"....people she did favors for.
D/W/S was especially keen on getting into the good graces of the half-caste Royal Idiot b/c it suited her crass self-serving ambitions.
Strangely enough, on the surface it seemed like the half/caste kept shrugging her off.....as she pursued him w/ a vengeance.
Distilling the info, one concludes, D/W/S was a willing "doer of tasks," but the Royal Idiot had to give the appearance that they were not connected.
The Pakis could not have (A) gotten security clearance, (B) gargantuan salaries, and, (C) gotten visas .....without some pretty high-level help.
The grotesque salaries could be one way D/W/S and Hill Democrats got paid off........via campaign contributions, kickbacks, wire-transfers, and the like.
NOTE Imran's brother, Abid, has retained an attorney specializing in money laundering litigation.
“NOTE Imran’s brother, Abid, has retained an attorney specializing in money laundering litigation.”
Any idea on who the money laundering lawyer is?
I’ve heard rumblings that there were “other” reasons dws “kept” him around so long.
Debbie hates Jews as much as any muzzie does...
It never occurred to me, but I'm sure you are right. One thing I noticed on her Wikipedia write-up was the scant mention of her husband and family.
She is married to someone named Steve Schultz. Apparently an unremarkable person whose only claim to fame is marriage to Debbie. I was expecting to see that he was a partner in a law firm or brokerage house. Apparently not.
She herself has a degree in Art. I'm sure she live well, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were overextended financially.
..........love this pic, already sent out to 4 of my Liberal “Friends”.................
