Is There Any There There?

Just wondering why there has been very little news about the Pakistani IT group and Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Now at the present time Imran Awan has only been arrested for basically bank fraud; However, it seems that the FBI is looking into the "groups" involvement in their IT work for Schultz and other House Democrats. Now one must wonder why Schultz continued to pay Awan even after he was banned from the House network on Feb 2, 2017 and did not stop until he was arrested trying to flee the country.
I can not seem to find very many sources for information and haven't really heard anything on the National News networks or in the papers. This is all I can find. The first link supplies further links to specific issues.

I think there isn't much coverage because Wasserman-Schultz didn't do anything criminally wrong. The staffer certainly did, but that has been covered. Why do you think that it should be covered more?

Let 'em investigate both. Unlike the Trump camp, I don't think they're shaking in their boots. Unlike the Trump camp, I don't think they're shaking in their boots.

Isn't that what the Russian investigation is about?

What smoke is there that Wasserman Schultz did something criminal and tried to hide it?

Why did she keep him employed as her IT person when he was cut off from the House network?
Just insinuating.

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what that means. Could you explain it for me?

She was probably just paying him the money he earned when working for her. The article seems to claim this is unlikely, but I disagree. If I quit a job and left the country, I would still be paid for at least a month due to back pay. I would expect to get that money no matter where I was living. So, I guess I don't see anything peculiar here.

What is so suspicious about it?

He was cut off Feb 9 from the House network, He was arrested July 24 and still on her payroll
Just playing the devils sarcastic advocate

What is the House network? If it is just the internal intranet, then I don't see a problem. Most likely, it was just an oversight.

Obviously, there is no way that if Wasserman-Schultz was paying him for illegal activity, she wouldn't do it through payroll. It is ludicrous to think she would. So, I still don't see any reason to even suspect anything illegal was going on with her.

Just seems like a bit of bad judgment and carelessness on her part. But, I don't see any possibility of criminality. Do you?

I'm reminded of something that happened here last year....

Friends own a tree service company, The Lumberjacks. They cut down &
chipped trees for a client. Client wanted the chips put in a pile for her use later.
The Lumberjacks did this...a pretty normal thing to do.
Later, they got a call from local government that the chips had spontaneously combusted.
Smoke everywhere.....charred chips on the ground....The Lumberjacks would have to pay
thousands for clean up. Local authorities believed what they claimed because a sheriff's
deputy & the fire dept both saw the 'evidence'.
Upon investigation, my friends discovered there was no fire....no smoke...no charred
chips....nothing but a bit'o steamy air coming from the pile.....all pretty normal.

You know the old saying, "Where there's smoke, there's fire.". Well sometimes,
"Where there's smoke, there isn't even smoke....just hot (moist) air". When people
want to believe that which serves their interest, they will see what they want to see,
reality be damned.

It's a typical GOP media distraction. I welcome any investigations into Clinton, DNC, etc. You have to have reasons for criminal activity. The problem with GOP media is they intentionally create phony scandals to sway the herd.
And your thread proves this. What does DWS have to do with some aide and his bank loan? Is this the propaganda technique known as "guilt by association?"

Don't let the establishment getcha esmith.

Probably not, just stupidity. Seems the Dems are good at that....hint Hillary

We shouldn't expect politicians to really know IT. I know you wanna pick on them Dems but Repubs aren't all that computer savvy either, RNC got hacked first.

The media covers the news that's most relevant to the most amount of people. I don't understand how this man being arrested or her paying him is relevant to anyone other than them and law enforcement officials. What would be the potential fire you see coming out of this and why should I care?

The trump russia investigation impacts the lives of millions of people. You me and every American has the right to know if the president worked with a foreign government to win an election. We also have the right to know if he is currently in anyway still beholden to that foreign government and making decisions based on what is best for America. This smoke could be the sign of a very dangerous fire for all americans.

Not nearly as good as Trump is though. He puts the Democrats to shame when it comes to being stupid.

Why are people still talking about Clinton? She did nothing wrong, no criminal activity. Now TrumpCo on the other hand....
I hope the republicans start new investigations into everything they're talking about. But they won't, because the investigations were already done. It's time to move on.

Still think Putin is a better leader than Obama? lmao.

When did I ever compare Putin and the Obama?
Seems that a Grand Jury should have been convened to make a determination vice a questionable decision from Comey. Maybe we should also look into Lynch and Bill and their tarmac meeting.. Seems real strange that they have a meeting and then Comey comes out and flails the Hillary but gives her a pass; He was in charge of the FBI not an attorney in the DOJ.
