the brothers are suspected to have orchestrated a long-running fraud scheme in which the office would purchase equipment in a way that avoided tracking by central House-wide administrators. They’re suspected of working with an employee of CDW Government Inc. — one of the Hill’s largest technology providers — to alter invoices in order to avoid tracking. The result would be that no one outside the office would notice if the equipment disappeared, and investigators think the goal of the scheme was to remove and sell the equipment outside of Congress. Clarke’s chief of staff did not alert authorities to the huge sum of missing money when it was brought to the attention of the office around February of 2016. A request to sign away that much lost equipment would have been “way outside any realm of normalcy,” the official said, but the office did not bring it to the attention of authorities until months later when House administrators told the office they were reviewing finances connected to the Awans.
Democrat Rep. Yvette Clarke's chief of staff has some explaining to do.
DWS, now this.... The Democrats are accomplices
Democrat Rep. Yvette Clarke AND her chief of staff (who she directs) have some explaining to do. Cong Clarke and her chief of staff did not alert authorities to the huge amt of missing equipment "written-off" to the tune of 120,000 tax dollars (also "missing") when it was brought to the attention of Yvette Clarke's office around Feb 2016.
A Congressman's written request to sign away that much "lost" electronic equipment would have been “way outside any realm of normalcy,” particularly since Clarke's small office employed only 16 aides. The 120,000 tax dollars would have bought about 150 devices.
Clarke's office failed to alert authorities until months later when House administrators told Clarke's office they were reviewing finances connected to the Awans.
==============================================
Here's the sap-happy Dem blithely "aiding and abetting" the theft of US-govt issue equipment. "Oh, it's just a measly 120,000 tax dollars.....just write it off."
Cong Yvette Clarke describes herself as a "Caribbean-American."
Yoo hoo, Yvette, your orange jumpsuit is ready.
