White House calls for ‘thorough investigation’ of Debbie Wasserman Schultz staffer scandal
The Washington Times ^ | July 27, 2017 | By S.A. Miller

The White House called Thursday for a thorough investigation related to the arrest of an IT staffer for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz who remained on the job and with congressional computer access for about five months after FBI began investigating him for fraud.

“I do think it is something we should fully look into and there should be a thorough investigation,” said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. Mrs. Wasserman Schultz, former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, fired the staffer, Pakistan-born Imran Awan, after he was arrested Monday at Dulles Airport outside Washington trying to flee the country.

The Florida congresswoman also told investigators there would be “consequences” if Mr Awan’s laptop seized by police was not promptly returned to her office.

“...The Florida congresswoman also told investigators there would be “consequences” if Mr Awan’s laptop seized by police was not promptly returned to her office...”

Yeah!!! Those “consequences” could very well be your arrest, Schultz...

Democrats are Democrats first.

They will sell out the US to protect other Democrats.

Good for White House/admin.

Now, let’s all watch the Repubs sit on their hands and look the other way. Another Dim crime? Just another day.

What is this I’ve read that said something about DWS’s own brother being one of the attorneys investigating this?? Did I read that right? (Will look for link.)

Too bad the MSM will not put it in the appropriate light, and will likely all but ignore this story and corruption.

The crazy thing is that Debbie Wasserman-Shultz’s brother has been put in charge of the prosecution as one of 350 assistant US Attorney generals in the D.C area. What a coincidence! It is obviously no coincidence Awan was arrested in D.C. so the Dems can keep control of the situation. Also, who paid for his bail - $500,000?

Sessions is really gonna be on the hot seat now as if he doesn’t address this and get Wasserman’s brother to recuse himself and removed from the case everyone will know where Sessions stands in terms of the swamp!

Wasserman was also coincidently in charge of the Seth Rich case and had it come to nothing.

And Seth Rich, I think. No Dim will ever recuse himself, so he should be removed ASAP!

Do “thorough investigations” ever amount to anything more than pols grandstanding for the cameras? Enough with investigations. Grand Juries and arrests only.

Surely your are kidding. I did a search on CNN, MSNBC, and NYT, found I think five articles. Of those five three were ones written by Imran about Islamaphobia!

In what may be one of the most remarkable conflicts of interest that we have seen in a long time, it appears that Steven Wasserman, Assistant Attorney for the District of Columbia who is the brother of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, has been tasked with overseeing the investigation of DNC IT employee Imran Awan, who was arrested earlier this week while attempting to flee the US and charged with bank fraud.
