A non-partisan ethics watchdog filed a complaint Monday with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in relationship with the developing House IT scandal.
The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) focused the complaint on the fact that Wasserman Schultz continued to employ and paid House IT aide Imran Awan, even while he was under criminal investigation and banned from the House computer network.
While other House members fired Awan’s family members soon after they were banned from the House computer network, Wasserman Schultz continued employing Awan up until he was arrested at the airport.
“There is something quite amiss as to why Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz continued to use taxpayer funds to employ former technology staff member, Imran Awan, even months after he was barred from accessing the House’s computer systems and a number of her colleagues severed ties with Awan,” said FACT executive director Matthew Whitaker.
“Since Awan’s arrest last week, Wasserman Schultz has been evasive and unable to answer even basic questions about the nature of Awan’s employment with her office. This only further confirms the urgency of an investigation into her unethical and illegal actions,” Whitaker added.

I want my computer back shouted ms. schlitz at the Capitol Police as she curled up into a little ball and wept like a good little snowflake. Up yours replied the police.
I fault the MSM for letting this story seem to be inconsequential, but going after POTUS every time he frowns.

===========================================
REASONS WHY DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ SHOULD BE
EJECTED FROM CONGRESS AND PLACED UNDER HOUSE ARREST.
ITEM--- Wasserman Schultz drags out the tired, smelly "Islamaphobia" excuse to explain her actions, after every other Dumbocrat----now scared s***-less----fired the shady Pakis.
ITEM---D/W/S stupidly blocked police from examining a hidden laptop tied to Imran-----braindead D/W/S failed to comprehend that she undercut her own explanation. If Wasserman Schultz really wanted the truth (other than Islamaphobia), she would not prevented L/E from obtaining evidence that would help prove her point.
ITEM----Wasserman Schultz was reckless to assume anti-Muslim bias was the only plausible explanation. She would have denied Awan access to her computers after House authorities banned Imran from the House network in early February.
ITEM--- Wasserman Scultz not only kept Awan on staff after the ban, but she employed no other IT person to administer her tech needs, according to payroll records........ suggesting that Awan might well have maintained access to Wasserman Schultz’s computers AFTER the ban.
ITEM---D/W/S said Imran Awan was working in an “advisory” role “providing her advice on technology issues.” She did not say who performed the office’s computer work after the ban.....if not Awan.
ITEM---Apparently, Wasserman Schultz planned to keep sending tax dollars to Awan in Pakistan for six months, until his scheduled return. He remained on D/W/S's payroll----sucking up tax dollars----- until his arrest.

Thanks, Ray76 & H/T Liz
She and half the Hill should be brought up on charges of treason.
Went to the article, but there were 0 comments.
The ping message was to refer to the comments on this thread, not on the article.
Ethics violations are just like criminal violations, yes?
he remained paid because he’s got the dirt on her and other dems. break out the popcorn if he starts talking
In Congress, they're more like merit badges.
Why not fired?
Simple...... she forgot he was on the payroll.
She doesn’t know all the details about the hired help
Sorry. Misunderstood.
Capitol Police barred them from Capitol Hill. DWS thwarted the police order by re-designating Awan as an “advisor”.
This seditionist bitch appears be in violation of the post-Civil War Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits any person who has taken any federal or state oath swearing to support the Constitution, but later took part in a rebellion or otherwise aided any enemy of the U.S. from serving in the House or Senate. https://www.thoughtco.com/requirements-to-be-a-senator-3322307

They were fired in February. All except Awan, that is. He continued in the employ* of Wasserman Schultz...
*Okay, students, how do we spell blackmail or Hush money and is this an example?
