Republican lawmakers called Friday for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz to account for the arrested IT staffer who she kept on a generous payroll until Tuesday.
After Wasserman Schultz’s tech man Imran Awan was arrested by federal agents while trying to flee the country wiring ahead hundreds of thousands of dollar to his native Pakistan, several Republican congressmen expressed their view to the Washington Free Beacon that the Florida congresswoman and former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman owed an explanation.
While Wasserman Schultz refused to fire Awan even after the criminal investigation into his alleged conduct became public in February, many of her fellow Democrats did.

I think this is the biggest scandal to hit DNC ever.
Unmentioned key facts about Awan and his family include:
Awan was banned from accessing the House network in early 2017. He is under investigation for stealing House equipment and “committing serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network”
A House IT staffer has alleged that Awan used congressional computers to transfer data to an off-site server.
Awan could view to every email sent and received by the members who employed him, he and had complete access to staff computers.
Rather than firing Awan, Wasserman-Schultz promoted him to an “advisory role.” Spokesman David Damron explained that Awan would be “providing advice on technology issues,” though it is unclear how he was expected to do so without being able to access the House network. Damron’s statement contradicts the claim by the Times that Awan’s duties were “mostly run of the mill: setting up new phones and computers, fixing printers, helping aides and members reset passwords.”
Awan’s salary was unusually high for a House IT staffer. According to public records, Awan has collected $1.5 million since 2010, and $2 million since began on the Hill.
When criminal probe was made public, Awan vacated his home in Virginia and began renting it to military families. A Marine renting the house found a stash of smashed hard drives. After the Marine turned the material over to federal officials, Awan attempted to enter the house several times, and eventually threatened to sue the Marine for stealing his property.
In an interview with the Daily Caller, Pat Sowers, a House IT staffer, speculated that the Awans were extorting the members employing them. “I don’t know what they have,” he said, “but they have something on someone.”
Sowers isn’t the only person to accuse Awan and his brothers of blackmail. Imran’s stepmother has filed court documents in which she accuses him of surveilling and extorting her.

Between this and her earlier connection with ‘Illary, might we say she’s a cooked goose? Heretofore, she’s only been known as the ugly duckling.
