Wasserman Schultz Defends Keeping Staffer on Payroll While Under Federal Investigation
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 4, 2017 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 08/05/2017 10:07:03 AM PDT by Cheerio

Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) had no qualms about keeping an IT staffer on her payroll even while he was under federal investigation.

House Capitol Police opened an investigation into Imran Awan and four other Democratic contractors in February. Despite every other member of Congress severing ties with those staffers, Schultz continued to keep Awan on her payroll, even after his House IT privileges were revoked.

Schultz only stopped paying Awan in July, the day after he was arrested for bank fraud at Dulles Airport while attempting to flee to his native Pakistan.

Then, by her own admission, she has violated her oath to the U.S. Constitution.

When Awan’s arrest story first broke, the nervous Wasserman sent out spox David Damron w/ the usual Democrat-in-trouble BS: “Mr. Awan previously served as a part-time employee but his services have been terminated. No charges, evidence or findings from the investigation have been formally shared with our office, so we cannot comment on them.”

(hat tip davikkm)

Dementocrat Debbie does not fire Imran when everyone found out he falsified official documents and placed ghost employees on the payroll, billing salaries for people who did not work there.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz does not fire him after his criminal record became public.

Dementocrat Debbie does not fire him after security data breaches.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz does not fire him after he stole, illegally stored, and illegally destroyed US govt property, in violation of data and equipment laws.

She fires him AFTER he is pubicly arrested trying to flee the country having fleeced the Congressional Credit Union of thousands of tax dollars.

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

Official documents, court records and multiple interviews suggest the Awan crew may have engaged in government fraud, tax evasion, bank fraud, extortion, bankruptcy fraud and insurance fraud. More alarmingly, money (our tax dollars?) could have been funneled overseas.

Imran's brother, Abid Awan, has hired high-profile attorney James Bacon who specializes in money laundering litigation. Abid is on the WH visitor's check-in list. Abid spent seven hours in the WH. (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com

The Democrat Party has sold out the United States of America.

Now, they’re daring us to do something about it.

Me-First Debbie-—she does nothing unless it advances her political ambitions. This gal is super-ambitious. D/W/S actually has a spreadsheet of "people who owe her"....people she did favors for.

Her constituents must be braindead to elect and reelect this creep.

--------------------------------------------------

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

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

Awan surely musta helped her w/ that high-tech steal.

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

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

Once, again she's facing the verdict of the DEMOcrat high command.

Justice will be sift and sure.

Struggling Democrats sure don't need another black eye from Me-First Debbie.

Sounds like she didn’t want to anger him. Wonder why?

WE THE PEOPLE are going to have to tend to the business that the timid squishy gonad-missing Republicans will not do from their House and Senate seats of power. That is the only answer - take your pick of Article V or Revolution. There seems to be no states rights anymore unless you are Chicago, SanFransicko, or Lost Angels and now claim the right to refuse ICE entry.

Congress needs to reveal:

<><>the Paki clan’s gargantuan salaries (tax dollars) (factor in Democrat collusion);

<><> how D/W/S skirted the rules, stole more and more tax dollars to amp up Pakis’ obscene paychecks (for what reason);

<><> the scope and dimension of shady Pakis’ access to govt-issue congressional computers (at D/W/S’s direction?);

<><> Pakis’ ties to Muslim brotherhood terrorists,

<><> Pakis’ “fixing” govt-issue computers to steal;
(DNC donations earmarked for Bernie rerouted to Hillary).

<><> and so on, and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum
