Watchdog group (& Bernie backer) asks Congress to probe Rep. Wasserman Schultz over fired IT aide
Washington Post (Democracy Dies In Darkness) ^ | 7/31/17 | David Weigel

**SNIP**

The complaint grew out of the ongoing investigation of Awan and four other House staffers who in February came under investigation after allegedly stealing equipment from their employers. While neither Wasserman Schultz nor other affected members of Congress — all Democrats — have been linked to wrongdoing, Wasserman Schultz’s ill-fated management of the Democratic National Committee has made her a regular focus of attacks and dark theories from activists who believe the 2016 primaries were slanted against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

In the last month, the conservative Daily Caller has followed the Awan story especially closely, and on July 23 it reported that “FBI agents seized smashed computer hard drives” from Awan’s home. That sparked fresh interest in the Awan story in conservative and some left-wing media. Tim Canova, a Sanders supporter who ran a spirited 2016 primary challenge to Wasserman Schultz, repeatedly tweeted news stories about the Awan arrest, urging more people to ask questions.

On Fox News, the question led to speculation that Awan was fleeing the country because he may have been linked to the 2016 hack of emails from Wasserman Schultz’s DNC.

“Here’s the corrupt IT guy standing at the shoulder of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, arrested at the airport trying to flee,” said Fox’s Geraldo Rivera on Sean Hannity’s show last week. “What if he was the source to WikiLeaks? He has all of the passcodes, he has the passwords, he has all of the information.”

Personally, I think Washerwoman-Shitz has dug herself a big fat hole that she’s not likely to be able to get out of. Prosecuting her as a sitting Congresswoman and former Chair of the DNC would have a devastating effect on the RAT Party. As they say, timing is everything, so I will take back the harsh words I’ve written about AG Sessions, if he hoists her up on her own legal petard early next year and tries her during the run up to the mid term election.

It’s like the Mideast. Just give them the weapons to carve each other up.

“Typhoid Debbie” was a pox on the DNC so they dumped her for fixing the primary for Hillary....

DNC Debbie "electronically rerouted" donations earmarked for Bernie’s into Hillary's campaign account.

Awan surely musta helped her w/ that high-tech steal.

======================================

Now she’s in deep-doo-doo in the Awan IT espionage case.

Once, again she's facing the verdict of the DEMOcrat high command.

Justice will be swift and sure.

Struggling Democrats sure don't need another black eye from Me-First Debbie.

Dump her out of office.
