Investigative opportunities
Why is the mass media so obsessed with nebulous connections between President Donald Trump and the Russians while ignoring perhaps the worst national security breach in years?
Have you heard about Abid, Imran and Jamal Awan? No? Why not? Is the mass media untrustworthy? These three Pakistani brothers were information technology (IT) specialists employed by various Democrat representatives who serve on congressional committees involving national security. After the presidential election, the Awan brothers were fired from their high-paying duties for allegedly accessing numerous congressional computers without permission and then fled the country.
Among those responsible was Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., previously the target of a huge email hack while serving as chairperson of the Democratic National Committee. Have House Democrats unwittingly aided and abetted terrorists?
While the element of surprise was lost during ill-fated raids in Yemen and Somalia in which Navy SEALs were killed, the confirmed damage from this security disgrace may not be known for years. This issue, like the attack in Benghazi, Libya, has been glossed over, isn’t fake news and begs for a special investigation.
Where are other press investigations regarding the Clinton Foundation; Hillary Clinton for illegally compromising hundreds of classified documents; the ludicrous Iran deal; using government agencies as political weapons; why the Paris climate accord was terrible for America, and why tort reform isn’t part of the health care debate?
Perhaps some of these questions provide the potential for real journalism and opportunities for Pulitzer Prizes for real journalists.
