Cable Networks Black Out Coverage on Wasserman Schultz IT Scandal
Washington Free Bacon ^ | 07/26/2017 | Elizabeth Harrington

Posted on 07/26/2017 4:54:11 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Major cable news networks have given no coverage to the burgeoning scandal involving IT staffers to former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.

Reporting by the Daily Caller News Foundation has revealed that Wasserman Schultz's top information technology staffer Iman Awan was arrested Monday after trying to flee the country amidst investigations into Awan concerning banking fraud and a criminal cybersecurity probe. Awan wired over $280,000 to Pakistan after the FBI recently recovered multiple smashed hard drives from Awan's home.

Despite being blocked from the House computer network since February amid allegations of "committing serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network," Awan remained employed by Wasserman Schultz's office. He and four of his relatives have received $4 million by working for Democratic members of Congress since 2009.

Wasserman Schultz finally fired Awan on Tuesday, after he attempted to flee the country. His wife already fled to Pakistan with $12,000 in cash. Awan and his relatives had full access to the emails of the Democratic members they worked for, and Wasserman Schultz's password to her iPad she used while she was head of the DNC.

There has been no mention of Iman Awan or Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the past week on MSNBC or CNN programs. Schultz has hardly been mentioned on either network since March 1, except in the context of a possible email she had sent in which Loretta Lynch had assured a Hillary Clinton staffer that the email investigation would not go "too far."

Aw come on, it just happened last night.

The arrest happened last night. The scandal surrounding the Awans, DWS, the DNC and dozens of RAT congresscritters has been known since February.....at least.

“They had access to EVERYTHING. Correspondence, emails, confidential files — if it was stored on the Member system, they had access to it,” the former House Information Resources (HIR) technology worker with first-hand knowledge of Imran’s privileges told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

“IT staff at HIR can be tracked for every keystroke they make,” the worker said. But by comparison, “when these guys were granted access to the Member’s computer systems there is no oversight or tracking of what they may be doing on the Member’s system. For example they could make a copy of anything on the Member’s computer system to a thumb drive or have it sent to a private server they had set up and no one would know.”

I remember Mom & Dad taking me to see that movie when I was a kid...and us singing the theme song in the car on the way back home. You know, back when, ‘going to the movies’ was an awesome once-a-year TREAT!

Thanks for the memory. Always a favorite play, always a favorite movie.

And don’t even get me started on Ann Margaret and how gorgeous and talented she is...to this day. ;)

Hmm. Ann Margaret looks a bit like — dare I say — Megan Kelly. ‘Course Ann Margaret was a beauty for an awful long time. Megan? Not so much.

You know, if Kelly can’t get people to watch her news programs, maybe she’d like being reassigned as a receptionist for the Help desk.

The Deep State brain trust hasn't yet agreed on the correct line to deal with this problem.

Can the Trump Administration lift the gag order on the survivors of Ben Ghazi? Anyone know?

There have been too many instances and cases of possible criminal activity with Democrats but I NEVER see / hear of any convictions or jail time for any of them.

If a tree falls in the forest and the media does not report it, does it make a sound?

This is deliberate and intentional. They choose to do this.

Arrest happened Monday night, now 48 hrs ago and MSM is ignoring.

Yes, they have had since Feb., at least, to get onto this HUGE story. But of course the Mediascum is not there to objectively report important news pertaining to the security of our nation.
