The Awan breach on Capitol Hill gets murkier and leads to more questions

In the small room, the U.S. Capitol Police found a laptop computer registered to Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, a Florida Democrat and former DNC chairwoman. Wasserman-Schultz had been fighting authorities for months to return the laptop, that she once claimed was not hers.

What's more concerning, say senior House officials who spoke to Circa, is that Imran Awan was also allegedly transferring files - including documents and emails - of House Democrats to a secret server connected to the less secure House Democratic Caucus. The organization was then chaired by Rep. Xavier Becerra, who left Congress in January after being sworn in as the Attorney General of California....

...The House official told Circa that Awan was also allegedly uploading "terabits of information to dropbox so he was possibly able to access the information even after he was banned from the network." The official said there is a need for a full congressional investigation on the matter...

Well, if Congress accomplishes as much on an investigation as it does on everything else...why bother?

Well, since they never want to “get to the bottom” of anything, then they never will.

That’s right. DWS conducted an exhaustive investigation and found herself to be blameless not only in this matter but all others as well. In perpetuity.

“I thought DWS had already fully investigated this matter.”

Nah, that was an “investigation” into the “constituents” of her “hair preparation!” Investigators found that it was a mixture of Best Foods Mayonnaise and Dixie Peach Pomade. They checked the MSDS (that’s Material Safety Data Sheets) and found these products, when combined, produced Simian-like kinky hair, but were otherwise harmless.

The real test on whether or not something “is there” is whethef or not the wife makes it back to be charged & testify.

Sessions has narrowed his investigation of the DWS matter and has found she has not taken any oxycontin or Vicodin, and as such is no longer a target of anything important.

Xavier Becerra has previously demonstrated his disloyalty to the United States, so this is no surprise. He should be investigated fully.

Paging Jeff Sessions, Paging Jeff Sessions.

Never mind, Jeff’s apparently left the building.

.....”The report also says Awan’s IT group was made up of family members, including his wife Hina Alvi. They had access to Democratic members of the House Committee on Homeland Security, the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence”.....

How did these people ever have access to anything in our government! Obamma and Hillary have certainly filled the place with others such as these without a doubt....

Two further scenarios apply to defeat the attachment of the spousal communications privilege: if the confidential communication was made in order to plan or commit crime or
fraud, or if a defendant-spouse wishes, in a criminal trial, to testify in their own defense, about a confidential marital communication. In these five cases, a court will not allow either spouse to assert the privilege
to block the testimony.

Awan has a horde of Clinton lawyers working for him so I doubt he’s making a deal.
