The Democrats sold out The United States.

"Her chief of staff instead filed papers to remove the equipment from the inventory, and did not alert authorities or fire Abid until House administrators contacted the office months later to say they would be reviewing that Awans’ actions."

The Chief of Staff covered up the discrepancies, not wanting to look bad, or he/she was in on the deal. It reminds me of the shop teachers at the prison I worked. We (correctional staff) would find a screw driver, or other sharp tool while frisking common areas in the facility. Lo! and behold! we'd discover that this tool's ID linked it to a specific classroom, and teacher. When we'd go to check the shadow board in that teacher's room, we'd find a brand new screwdriver hanging where the lost one had previously been. Did they ever report missing tools? Hell no! They were too embarrassed to admit a tool that could be used as a weapon went missing on their watch. They'd simply go out, and buy the same tool at a hardware store, and hang it in the empty spot. No matter how many times you'd tell these civilians about the importance of tool control, they never followed protocol.

When you know how Congress works, and by that I mean the way EVERYTHING they do is a payoff to themselves at taxpayer expense, it is easy to figure out exactly what was going on.

First, you have to know that a modern laptop or desktop computer costs a fraction of what they did 25 years ago. Back when Congress decided its members needed taxpayer-supplied computer equipment, they wrote in a substantial expense allowance into the annual budget. (Remember budgets?)

Now, fast-forward 25 years, and while computers and printers cost way less, if you know how Congress works they NEVER reduce any spending of any kind, so, yep, the IT budget allowances are still at the higher rate.

Now, how to tap into this slush fund? First, circumvent the inventory control rules to make a majority of the budget allowance non-inventory. Second, hire yourself some sleazy lackey to procure, re-sell, and launder the money. (Awan)

Problem is, they hired a REALLY sleazy muzzie who besides ripping off a bunch of the non-inventory equipment, also downloaded all their classified data to sell to ISIS.

Now they are stuck defending the guy's scams to protect their own decades-long scam.

Well time to lock those Congressmen/women up and toss away the key.

kind of hard to claim victim when it’s a person’s responsibility to report any overpayments or incorrect payments on their federal disbursements - foreign resident or not.

Looks like the wife got immunity and is starting to sing, as many here suggested would happen. Ain’t gonna end well for some Dems.

Call it what it is..money laundering. For all their high and mighty act, our ‘betters’ are nothing more than thugs.
