Wasserman Schultz Threatened Police Chief For Gathering Evidence On Her IT Staffer’s Alleged Crimes
Daily Caller ^ | May 24, 2017 | Luke Rosiak

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz threatened the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police with “consequences” for holding equipment that she says belongs to her in order to build a criminal case against a Pakistani staffer suspected of massive cybersecurity breaches involving funneling sensitive congressional data offsite.

The Florida lawmaker used her position on the committee that sets the police force’s budget to press its chief to relinquish the piece of evidence Thursday, in what could be considered using her authority to attempt to interfere with a criminal investigation.

In a highly unusual exchange, the Florida lawmaker uses a hearing on the Capitol Police’s annual budget to spend three minutes repeatedly trying to extract a promise from the chief that he will return a piece of evidence being used to build an active case.

Though on the surface Wasserman Schultz would have been a victim of Awan’s scam, she has inexplicably protected him, circumventing the network ban by re-titling him as an “adviser” instead of technology administrator.

If the story is correct she interfered with a criminal investigation — a felony.

He and his two brothers were also paid nearly three times as much as others doing similar jobs and she okayed their security clearances. She is corrupt.

In DC, that's a crime only if committed by a Republican. [/sarc]

OK.

I missed the first one because of a typo on the title check. The second one has a completely different title.

The fact that high level Democrats were knowingly and willfully enabling espionage by ISIS / al Qaeda connected spies

The only missing piece of information was why they were doing it.

And they refused to let the FBI investigate their e-mail systems.

What are they hiding?
