Wasserman Schultz kept paying tech expert suspected of stealing House computers
Scanning the list of news articles here, I see only conservative sites. The lying MSM is burying this Democrat scandal as usual, creating fake Trump-Russia instead.
Foreign-born IT provider Imran Awan was arrested trying to leave the country. His brother already left. The government paid them several times the going rate ($4M).
Initially, Wasserman Schultz refused to fire the IT aide "despite being a known criminal suspect in a cybersecurity probe," instead placing him in an advisory capacity in order to circumvent the ban on having him as an IT provider. As of Tuesday morning (the day he was arrested), Wasserman Schultz still employed him. In her own interactions with authorities, she also previously refused to turn over her laptop to law enforcement and threatened the Capitol Police for getting involved.

Just this past weekend, The Daily Caller reported that FBI agents seized damaged computer hard drives from the Awan family last February. According to sources, it looked like someone had "tried to destroy" the hard drives. Sound familiar?
Other House IT aides wondered whether the Awans were blackmailing the Democrats who waited so long to fire them. "I don't know what they have, but they have something on someone. It's been months at this point" with no arrests, Pat Sowers, a 12-year House IT aide told The Daily Caller.
"There's no question about it: If I was accused of a tenth of what these guys are accused of, they'd take me out in handcuffs that same day, and I'd never work again," said a manager at a tech-services company that works with Democratic House offices. He also reported offering his company's services to Democrat offices for one-fourth the price of Awan and his brothers, but the Democrats declined.
