Ron DeSantis: Fired Debbie Wasserman Schultz aide may have terrorist ties
Washington Examiner ^ | 08/03/2017 | Joel Gehrke

A Democratic congressional aide arrested by the FBI while trying to travel to Pakistan may have ties to terrorism, a Republican lawmaker suggested to the Justice Department.

Former IT aide Imran Awan, who worked for Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and about a dozen other Democratic lawmakers, has been accused of bank fraud for allegedly obtaining a loan "for a rental property he does not own" and then sending the money to Pakistan. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., thinks that money could pose a national security problem.

"While we can never tolerate breaches of the public trust, the wire transfer to Pakistan is particularly alarming as Pakistan is home to numerous terrorist organizations," DeSantis wrote in a Wednesday letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Awan is among several IT staffers suspected of "accessing members' computer networks without their knowledge and stealing equipment from Congress," as the Daily Caller first reported in February. Most of the staffers were fired immediately, but Awan remained on Wasserman Schultz's payroll until he was arrested Monday. The case led to tensions between the former chair of the Democratic National Committee and Capitol Police, because investigators confiscated a laptop owned by her office that was hidden by Awan in a congressional building.

"If a member loses equipment and it is found by your staff and identified as that member's equipment and the member is not associated with any case, it is supposed to be returned," Wasserman Schultz told Capitol Police Chief Matthew Verderosa in May. "I think you're violating the rules when you conduct your business that way and you should expect that there will be consequences."

DeSantis wants Sessions to expand the investigation by working with the Treasury Department to freeze Awan's assets and investigate activity related to his bank account.

"The allegations levied against Imran Awan are alarming and could have serious national security ramifications," DeSantis said in a statement accompanying the letter. "The Department of Justice must work to immediately mitigate the damage done by Awan and take whatever measures are necessary, including freezing illicit funds, in order to fully investigate this incident."

No surprise here. The “mystery” is why DWS and her ilk are not on the stand and getting fitted for a nice orange jump suit. Throw Hitlery in there too.

Guess it is more important to harass Trump -— your Washington Uniparty at work.

Welllllll.... duh... How did a Paki IT spy make it past former Congressman Wexler in the first place... I do not think it was a Muslim outreach jobs program, but, who knows, stranger things have happened.

I also recall Obama and his ‘blackberry’ when he first took office .. cannot help but wonder if it was not supplied by the Paki IT team.

Sombody very high up in a previous admin wants the Pakis to disappear.......they know plenty.

The Pakistan govt apparently considers Imran very important b/c of his braggadocio----representations about his political power in the US, saying he's "from the Congress." The grateful Paki govt even provides Imran with a VIP police escort.

=====================================================

This is very easy to unravel. Pres Trump, AG Sessions, and SOS Rex Tillerson call in the Pakistani Ambassador for a "little chat." The Pakistani Ambassador surely knows plenty---like (a) what important issues Imran is "advising" Cong Debbie about, (b) the whereabout of Imran's wife, and, (c) the rest of the Paki IT gang.

Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414

========================================

FACTS ON FILE

<><> About half of House Republicans have signed a letter urging we cut off all aid to Pakistan. They consider it a terrorist-sponsoring nation.

<><> T-Rex calls in the Paki Ambassador, and speaking privately, gives him one week to show up with (a) evidence on Wasserman-Schultz, and, (B) Imran's wife and the rest of the IT gang.

<><> Either that or the State Dept will weigh in----and support adding Pak to terrorist list......cutting off all foreign aid.

<><> When the Pakis cough up the evidence, and the IT gang, (as they surely would), T-Rex turns it over to Pres Trump and to the DOJ (not the FBI).

<><> The DOJ then oversees the case; the FBI is given a time-certain to provide corroborating evidence (so they can't Mafia it out).

“Typhoid Debbie” was a pox on the DNC so they dumped her for fixing the primary for Hillary....

Debbie "electronically rerouted" donations earmarked for Bernie’s into Hillary's campaign account.

REALITY CHECK---Debbie's Paki IT staff musta helped her w/ that high-tech maneuver.

Now she’s in deep-doo in the Awan IT espionage case.

The DEMOcrat high command isn't going to like that.

Anyone tied to the Muslim Brotherhood has terrorist ties.

The Muslim Brotherhood is the “Mother Organization” to all the Sunni terrorist groups.

The DNC is a hotbed of Muslim Brotherhood activity in the US.

The DNC never met a group opposed to the US that they didn’t like. Socialist, Communist, Maoist, Muslim terrorists etc. The DNC feels that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Unfortunately they will discover that a snake is still a snake, even if you befriend them.

Iran sponsors all the Shiite terrorist groups.

Is the entire Trump administration being BLACKMAILED by the Deep State to IGNORE the Obama administration's CRIMES? Looks like the Soros/Obama/Hillary Deep State has the GOODS on EVERYBODY!

Is it really a crime if he was helping the Democrats?

I mean, everyone knows that those perfect examples of our species like Hillary Clinton and Debby’s Whatsherface Schultz and Maxine Waters are so much better than the rest of us and must never be reproached!

As long as Sessions is Attorney General, and it relates to National Security, she is safe. However, should she be caught with one marijuana seed on her, heaven help her.

Ya' think ? < /sarc>

WHY isn't Debbie Wassermann Schultz, the REAL CRIMINAL that hired the spies ... that started this REAL THREAT to our NATIONAL SECURITY, being investigated by this panel of MOSTLY DemocRATS ?

Well, just how many DemocRATS are likely to be EXPOSED if the real TRUTH COMES OUT ?

Reference Debbie Wasserman Schultz's hired spies: And there's this link Wasserman Schultz IT Staffer "Frantically" Liquidating $2 Million In Real Estate Assets SOOOOOOOOO .... that's AT LEAST 31 DemocRATS that are worried about being EXPOSED !


The Democratic National Committee REFUSED to allow their computers and servers to be searched for evidence.
WHY ?
I propose that
Consider the following information about the SO CALLED Russian Hacking.
I believe it was the Democratic National Committee who was DOING the hacking and leaving FALSE TRACES of the Russians.
We MUST INVESTIGATE the Democratic National Committee's servers ! ! !

Let's review a few pieces of history, such as: Now based on the articles linked above, I propose to you that it is VERY POSSIBLE AND CREDIBLE
On the other side of the issue is: Now, I trust former Senator Jim DeMint, and I trust Rush and Glenn.
But all former Senator Jim DeMint has is the document he was shown and briefed upon, and they came from a corrupted agency under Obama and his minions.

In closing, let me make it clear that

When experiencing an erection lasting more than 4 hours, save the money on a doctor’s visit and stare at a picture of Wasserman Schultz, it will immediately fix the problem. It might ruin your eyes is the only side effect
