Debbie Wasserman Schultz used her position on a committee that oversees the budget of the Capitol Hill police to attend a budget hearing and question the police chief about a laptop she says the police should return to her. When the police chief said he couldn’t return it, Wasserman Schultz suggested there would be “consequences.” From the Daily Caller:

“My understanding is the the Capitol Police is not able to confiscate Members’ equipment when the Member is not under investigation,” Wasserman Schultz said in the annual police budget hearing of the House Committee On Appropriations’ Legislative Branch Subcommittee.

“We can’t return the equipment,” Police Chief Matthew R. Verderosa told the Florida Democrat.

“I think you’re violating the rules when you conduct your business that way and you should expect that there will be consequences,” Wasserman Schultz said.

The Capitol Hill police are investigating procurement theft involving equipment stolen from as many as 20 members of Congress. The thefts were allegedly carried out by a Pakistani IT specialist named Imran Awan and several members of his family. Awan has worked for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz as a technology adviser since 2005 so it is believed that her office could be involved in the investigation, though no arrests have been made.

Monday the Daily Caller reported that Awan’s wife had left the country and moved to Pakistan.~~~~~~~~~~Something strange going on...

[tennmountainman]

Why isn’t DWS under investigation for threatening a law enforcement
officer?

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Lil Debbie is scared! BWAHAHAHAHA!

[monkeywrench]

She is under investigation. That’s why he couldn’t give it back. She answered her own question.

[Parley Baer]

Hey Debbie, what is on your laptop that you want hidden?

[SaveFerris]

[Why isn’t DWS under investigation for threatening a law enforcement officer?]

I think we need a Special Prosecutor to look into DWS and the DNC.

Immediately.

[SaveFerris]

[Hey Debbie, what is on your laptop that you want hidden?]

Orders for pallets of mayonnaise from Costco. And hairbrushes.

Maybe.

Or maybe some “recipes and wedding plans” from Hillary’s illegal bathroom email server.

Replace the hard drive with a new, re-imaged hard drive and give it back.

The old hard drive is evidence.

[browniexyz]

Sounds to me like there is a member who ought to be under investigation, Debbie!!

[dowcaet]

Blabbermouth-Schultz is intellectually capable of using a laptop? Who knew?

[SaveFerris]

Competent police departments usually image the hard drive.

Competent police departments usually image the hard drive. unless they're staffed with DNC sympathizers, hacks and operatives.

[appeal2]

Maybe the Rich smoking gun is hidden there in plain site.

[MayflowerMadam]

No special prosecutor. Once that happens everything goes to a black hole never to be heard of again. Better a grand jury.

[SaveFerris]

I defer to your wisdom.

[RS_Rider]

She knows there is nothing left of that laptop.

“I think you’re violating the rules when you conduct your business that way and you should expect that there will be consequences,” Wasserman Schultz said...sounds like an attempt to obstruct justice to me......
