AP, NY Times Have Ignored Wasserman Schultz-Dem IT Scandal for Over a Month

Since Imran Awan's arrest in late July, the Daily Caller has published roughly two dozen follow-up stories on various aspects of the scandal involving the longtime rogue Democrat IT staffer and his inexplicably enriched family members.

The Associated Press and the New York Times have, from all appearances, published nothing since July 28.

At APNews.com, the site which has replaced the wire service's old "Big Story" site but which also theoretically includes important coverage from other AP-subscribing sources, the last story on Awan, the IT staffer for former Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, was on July 26, the day the Congresswoman officially fired him.

The AP's main national news site, hosted.ap.org, which usually but with some notable exceptions contains stories going back about two weeks, has no relevant story.

A search at the the New York Times indicates that the paper hasn't done a story on Awan since July 28 — and that story's fake-news headline ("Trump Fuels Intrigue Surrounding a Former I.T. Worker’s Arrest"), as I noted at the time, made it appear that President Donald Trump was the person having problems with rogue IT staffers.

Remember, the FBI recently said that a scandal does not exist and the FBI does not have to act unless the public is aware of it.

Is there any reason Jeff Sessions and the DOJ cannot open an investigation?

[spokeshave]

Jef “Rip Van” Sessions went to sleep in the lock box.

[Steely Tom]

She could get caught on video selling military tactical plans to ISIS and the NYT would run stories about how she’s actually being patriotic by doing so.

[tennmountainman]

It appears Jeff Sessions has too.

[Slyfox]

First there was the Charlottesville protest where they all got to re-experience their early college SDS days as they watched the Anti First Amendment crowd, and then there was the Eclipse for a day, and then there was Hurricane Harvey and shoving microphones in the mouths of shivering mothers.

Geesh! Give them a break!

[morphing libertarian]

Who?

[Walrus]

I stopped reading after the words “AP” and “New York Times”

It would be more profitable to read the propaganda of Herr Goebbels, who was probably LESS biased -—LOL

[The_Media_never_lie]

How can they be a serious news service it they spike the biggest corruption story in twenty years?

[Bullish]

Remember this. They’ve told us quite clear. There’s NO scandals that involve democrats, ever. Scandal claims are only leveled against republicans.

All scandal claims against any and all democrats are very quickly blamed on the right as if we’re making everything up like they do.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

In about six months the CIA will be determined that Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s central fuel tank caused all the problems.

NewsBusters.com should change their URL to CaptainObvious.com

What a sucker born every minute web sight.

[Robert357]

This is the elephant in the Beltway DC Room. AP, NYT, etc know this means serious trouble for lots and lots of Democrats.

So much trouble that it would sweep out of office more than a dozen elected officials and dramatically change the Deep State climate in WA DC.

Imran Awan was a shared employee providing technical support to some thirty (some say 80) Democrats. Imran's activities in the halls of Congress read like an impossible James Bond script.

According to Daily Caller Reporter, Luke Rosiak, Awan and his gang were running the oldest of scams inside the Democrat Congressional Caucus......selling govt-issue computer gear out the back door after first brazenly claiming to House authorities that it was "stolen."

JUST ONE EXAMPLE--Awan's employer, NY Rep Yvette Clarke, "wrote-off" (made disappear) $120,000 of tech devices that would have bought an astounding 10 iPhones and 10 iPads each for her small office of 16 employees.

Rep Clarke (or her staff) would have had to sign an official voucher for each tech purchase. Leaves open the question: Democrat Yvette Clarke didn't notice? (A) that her small office purchased 120,000 tax dollars of tech equipment, (B) in quantities her 16-man office did not plausibly need, (C) that never actually materialized in her office (b/c it had been delivered to Imran's residence).

Other Democrats employing the Pakis have not been audited for similar patterns.......as yet.

The dollar amounts scammed will skyrocket.
