It wasn't that long ago that Debbie Wasserman Schultz was trying to browbeat the Capitol Police over a laptop in the Muslim IT hacking case.

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.

Hopefully, instead of the phony Russia investigation, the FBI can investigate real corruption where there is actual proof of wrong doing.

I came across this on The_Donald. For all we know, the FBI seized the wreckage to safeguard it.

‘This whole “FBI seizes hard drives...” story is utter nonsense. The FBI didn’t seize anything, the current tenant in the house called authorities when he found smashed govt computers in recycle bins and they eventually came to pick them up. This is some sensationalized drama.’

This whole case has to be one of the most under-reported scandals I have ever seen. Utterly ridiculous that the major news outlets are crawling all over this.

That photo is a real hoot.


But here's some more background about the subject.

The Democratic National Committee REFUSED to allow their computers and servers to be searched for evidence.
WHY ?
I propose that
Consider the following information about the SO CALLED Russian Hacking.
I believe it was the Democratic National Committee who was DOING the hacking and leaving FALSE TRACES of the Russians.
We MUST INVESTIGATE the Democratic National Committee's servers ! ! !

Let's review a few pieces of history, such as: Now based on the articles linked above, I propose to you that it is VERY POSSIBLE AND CREDIBLE
On the other side of the issue is: Now, I trust former Senator Jim DeMint, and I trust Rush and Glenn.
But all former Senator Jim DeMint has is the document he was shown and briefed upon, and they came from a corrupted agency under Obama and his minions.

In closing, let me make it clear that

Right now? About as reliable as any other outfit still being run by Obama appointees and deep state insiders.

The issue is whether Truepundit’s reporting has a high degree of reliability or not.

I wouldn’t place any bets on truepundit being remotely accurate.

That confirms my suspicions. A lot of the most dramatic news these days comes from anonymous sources, and rarely turns out to be factual.
