Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Pakistani IT Scammers - There’s more than bank fraud going on here
National Review ^ | July 29, 2017 | Andrew C. McCarthy

Posted on 07/30/2017 4:31:28 PM PDT by Zakeet

In Washington, it’s never about what they tell you it’s about. So take this to the bank: The case of Imran Awan, Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s mysterious Pakistani IT guy, is not about bank fraud.

[Snip]

Awan and his family cabal of fraudsters had access for years to the e-mails and other electronic files of members of the House’s Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committees. It turns out they were accessing members’ computers without their knowledge, transferring files to remote servers, and stealing computer equipment — including hard drives that Awan & Co. smashed to bits of bytes before making tracks.

[Snip]

This is not about bank fraud. The Awan family swindles are plentiful, but they are just window-dressing. This appears to be a real conspiracy, aimed at undermining American national security.

[Snip]

While some Awans were rarely seen around the office, we now know they were engaged in extensive financial shenanigans away from the Capitol. Nevertheless, the Daily Caller’s Luke Rosiak, who has been all over this story, reports that, for their IT “work,” the Pakistani family has reeled in $4 million from U.S. taxpayers since 2009.

That’s just the “legit” dough. The family business evidently dabbles in procurement fraud, too. The Capitol Police and FBI are exploring widespread double-billing for computers, other communication devices, and related equipment.

Why were they paid so much for doing so little?

Thank you! I appreciate that suggestion. I like Truthfeed, but a little of her sensationalism goes a long way.

Is that rumor true? (I’ve heard it for some time)

If that is the case, perhaps the June non-event “triggered” him.....

There is something more rotten than bank fraud underneath the surface.
And we need to find out what it is.

I remember an article on FR (from elsewhere, of course) that wondered why Pubbies seemed to always back down in front of Obama.

Drudge is really changing. All he talks about are the military and No. Korea. Doesn’t seem to care about Obama

Until proven otherwise Schultz, Clinton, and Obama are guilty of the murder of 37 in the helicopter shoot down with Seal Team 6 in Afghanistan. Inside Job from inside info.

“Drudge is really changing”

It’s really all about “the fair and balanced CLICKBAIT.”

Gotta keep those numbers up. But burying this story begs the question why are they spiking this???

The guy has been arrested. It’s a serious security breach. The head of the DNC had him on the payroll as he was fleeing the US. It’s pretty serious. This threatens the 2018 elections for the Dems.

Is that rumor true? (I’ve heard it for some time)

Drudge himself has denied the rumors, but then admitting he "goes to straight bars, I go to gay bars," amongst other confusing statements. He's allegedly given extremely expensive gifts to men, had lived with a "male housemate" for years, has flirted with liberal queers like David Brock, even trading (at least according to Brock) gay emails with the man, and toured the "gay scene like a pro" in Miami. Maybe he was a wingman for Marco Rubio.

Somebody may have been threatening Drudge’s life. No other explanation but the long arm of the Deep State mob.

Really interesting news. I suspect virtually everything the Awan family touched and did was a criminal initiative.

I thirnk Andy McCarthy is correct:

“This appears to be a real conspiracy, aimed at undermining American national security. “

Now see, in early June, THIS happened - seems to me right around the time things started to “change” ... or so it seemed.


Trump breaks with Obama tradition of designating June as ‘LGBT Pride Month’
