FACT Calls for Ethics Investigation of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), a non-partisan ethics watchdog group, directed by former U.S. Attorney Matthew G. Whitaker, filed a complaint Monday with the Office of Congressional Ethics against U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) for continuing to employ and compensate House IT Aide, Imran Awan after he was barred from the House computer system and under criminal investigation.
According to FACT’s complaint, nearly all of the Members who employed Awan terminated his employment in March 2017. However, Wasserman Schultz refused to remove Awan from house payroll and compensated Awan with taxpayer funds for several months – even though he was barred from the House computer system which would prevent him from performing any reasonable IT work. In fact, Wasserman Schultz only fired Awan after he was arrested on bank fraud charges attempting to flee the country the morning of July 25, 2017.
“There is something quite amiss as to why Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz continued to use taxpayer funds to employ former technology staff member, Imran Awan, even months after he was barred from accessing the House’s computer systems and a number of her colleagues severed ties with Awan,” said Matthew Whitaker, Executive Director, Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT). “Since Awan’s arrest last week, Wasserman Schultz has been evasive and unable to answer even basic questions about the nature of Awan’s employment with her office. This only further confirms the urgency of an investigation into her unethical and illegal actions,” Whitaker added.
Wasserman Schultz is in clear violation of House Ethics Rules as Members of Congress are directly responsible for ensuring their staff are only paid for official public work. FACT urges the House Ethics Board to immediately investigate and take appropriate action in response to this apparent violation congressional ethics rules.
A full copy of FACT's complaint is available here.

If this had happened to a GOP congressman the other GOP members of the House would demand she resign. This does not happen with Democrats.

If you read Poodle Medusa's twitter feed, it is full of partisan posts complaining about Trump. One because the DOInterior is reassigning people and the 'friends of earth' are upset. And how everyone but them hates women blah blah blah. LINK Not a peep or a statement on how she continued Awan's employment with our taxpayer money and why...

You have to be one STUPID MOTHER F*CKER not to see what's going on here. With the hammered hard drive and Little Debbie crying like a pussy about getting her laptop back from the Capitol Police, it's clear that Awan had all of the DNC and Schultz's personal e-mails and he was blackmailing her.
There are things on that hard drive that will most likely put many of these Democrat scumbags in prison for a LONG time. And, I'd bet good money that Awan has other drives and information that will implicate sHitlary and many DNC staffers as well.

CNN BREAKING News; This just in- Trump gets two scoops of ice cream and calls the WH a dump, and he may have met with the same fat arse Russian Amb. spy as everyone in DC has.

We have some republicans calling on Mueller to resign/recuse. We have some GOPe's like Graham saying they will END Trump if he fires Mueller.
But not a word from DWS not a bit of outrage in the MSM.

I feel like all of her posts should be accompanied by that post of hers, so that everyone knows what they're dealing with.

The Awans blackmailed the Democrats.
They had access to all their emails.
DWS should be thrown in jail.

This ugly bitch don't need an ethics investigation.
She needs a full blown grand jury indictment.

Meh. Is it histrionic? Absolutely. It is certainly no more histrionic than half of the stuff lobbed at trump. Her point was a valid one. I wouldn't have phrased it the same way, but if you couldn't decipher her point about the media and Obama supporters on this site, perhaps the issue isn't with her post, but lies with your critical thought process.

Even if she was being hyperbolic (which, who knows? She's legit crazy), it was still an absurd way to make a point. But, I believe that she truly believes all of that, because I honestly think she's off in the head.
So I think that post serves as a solid disclaimer. I'm sure she appreciates your knighting, though.

It is a post of mine he saved from a very long time ago when Obama was POTUS and the MSM bias of news favorable of Obama. Along the lines that if Obama screamed allah is great on live TV and killed a baby and so forth the media would still say how great Obama was, he dindunuffins. It was a parody joke. He used to do the same thing to Cpt Bengal on a thread about rubbers. He never contributes he just posts these things from years ago over and over.
Should I hit RA? Hire you as my attorney, or continue to ignore this as I have been for many, many moons? He does not wish to discuss he harasses and flames in this sick manner. He will probably save this to his computer and repost it-- he is so obsessed.
