Well this is silly... we know the Pakistani Awan brothers used government equipment to work remotely for the House Democrats, even from Pakistan.

We know the Awans bought lots of computer equipment while working for the Democrats.

So, let the Democrats ask the Awans about working remotely and use the equipment they bought on our dime.

I doubt anybody in the House Leadership can even use a computer. they have “little people” to do that for them

Sure, little people from Pakistan with big political connections over there.

I support POTUS Trump but he will sign this in a heartbeat. We will be lucky if some junk is removed. I can’t believe America has given TRILLIONS to Pelosi to do what she wants with it. I can’t even read that without saying fvk it anymore.
