I think the “stealing equipment” line is fake news cover story intended to make the democrats look better. I think the facts will show that the Awans had full access to all the IT hardware, were engaged in selling and updating routers, servers, and wireless devices for the 20 Democrat congressmen with their complete consent. If so, then coming along after the fact and claiming the whole problem is “stolen equipment” is typically dishonest.
Plus it defocuses the Awan story onto it being a theft rather than the real issue, which is espionage. Just like Watergate was a burglary...

Desperate attempts to minimize and misdirect the narrative away from the gaping abyss of a scandal that is truly unfolding.
