Do you recall when Debbie Wasserman Schultz threatened the US Capitol Police chief for seizing a computer from her IT personnel, who was Imran Awan?
Let’s refresh your memory.
It never seemed right, the manner in which she targeted him with venomous animus. It was not the cadence, or computation, of an innocent person.
Fast forward to today and we have a full blown scandal on our hands, with charges that her IT personnel, Awan, had access to the emails of every single member of Congress — and sold that information to person’s unknown.
Rep DeSantis joined The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) in calling for an investigation into Wasserman Schultz, who employed Awan during and time as DNC chair — dating back to 2005.

Awan and his relatives worked as shared employees for more than two dozen House Democrats in the past several years. After the Capitol Hill investigation came to light in early February, most lawmakers fired the other staffers in question.
But Wasserman Schultz retained Awan, even though he has been barred from accessing the House IT network since February. FACT maintains there’s no way Awan could have performed IT duties for Wasserman Schultz over the past six months, despite staying on the Florida Democrat’s payroll.
“House staff are compensated with taxpayer funds, and members are directly responsible for ensuring their staff are only paid for official public work, work that has actually [been] performed and at a rate commensurate with the work performed,” Matthew Whitaker, FACT executive director, wrote in a letter to the OCE.
“It was, therefore, contrary to the House ethics rule for Wasserman Schultz to continue to pay Awan with taxpayer funds even after he was barred from the House computer system and could not perform his duties, and was also under criminal investigation.”
Awan was arrested by the FBI last week attempting to leave the country, after wiring $300,000 to his home country of Pakistan. Previous to attempting flight, his wife left the country and he had been frantically liquidating real estate holdings.
Here’s Rep. DeSantis discussing the issue with Tucker Carlson, calling for an investigation.

jail the bitch
Listen carefully to the video. She has a very strange accent for an American citizen. It does not (to me) sound like a New York City accent – her reported location of upbringing.
My god you’re an idiot. She was raised on Long Island, NY (like the Mooch) which has more residents than many states. It’s always been a mixing pot of ethnicities. What type of accent does an American citizen have? “Strange accent for an American citizen” could be one of the stupidest blog comments EVER on this blog. I’ll leave it to Fly to rank it.
TC Never said she wasn’t raised in NY. But she has a strange accent for NYC. Get it?
You’re an expert on NY accents?
She has a typical and disturbing orthodox jew accent. If you listen to them speak for any length of time you get cancer.
Politics is show business for ugly people as Roger Stone might say. But DWS is too ugly for politics, let alone America. Deport.
Ugly is being nice. That’s a he/she and his wig is hideous. Looks like a wet poodle, probably smells like one too.
Lol.
“Politics is show business for ugly people”
Sometimes credited to Jay Leno or James Carville, during a 1992 interview, Paul Begala (Clinton-Gore speech writer) laid claim to the quotation “Washington is Hollywood for ugly people.” which later morphed into the above. Said he was using the phrase in the 1980’s but when pressed … “Begala sighed. I might have heard it in a bar.” …

Non story.
She’s going to Die In Prison
Hideous woman. There’s something definitely “off” there. I hope they do investigate her. It would make for good entertainment.
Hope is eternal Calling for an investigation and actually investigating are two very different things.
No problem if she hits the slammer. Deserves it for supporting the slimy pay-day loan industry which is based in FL.
But this is way more interesting.

Even a shiny new General can’t get the stink off Trump.
you do realize the goal is to flush the whole turd down the toilet right, Trump included. We just need the timber of his voice to stimulate peristalsis so we don’t leave anything behind?
From “Squawker.org” there are reports that an investigation of Awan is under way but “.. Steven Wasserman, Assistant Attorney for the District of Columbia who is the brother of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, has been tasked with overseeing the investigation of DNC IT employee Imran Awan …”
Cannot verify the truth of this report but it is true that DWS’s brother is the AA for DC.

Then you also have a report from TheGatewayPundit.com that “Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s Brother Steven Wasserman Accused of Burying Seth Rich Case”.
