7 FAST FACTS ABOUT IMRAN AWAN, WASSERMAN SCHULTZ’S JAILED IT VENDOR… …RNC CHAIR: DWS ‘OBSTRUCTED AT EVERY LEVEL’… …LOL: DEBBIE FIRES AWAN AFTER HE WIRES $$ TO PAKISTAN, GETS ARRESTED Imran Awan, the Pakistan-born IT vendor to several top House Democrats under investigation since February, was arrested allegedly trying to flee the United States Tuesday.Some of the most important facts about this developing and potentially massive story: 1. Awan has been a staffer for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and other top congressional Democrats since 2004: UPI reports more than 24 different Democratic House offices used Awan’s services. Awan’s time with Wasserman Schultz included her entire tenure as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. Estimates are that Awan and his family received more than $4 million from House Democrats since 2009. 2. Awan was still employed by Wasserman Schultz’s office until he was arrested Tuesday night: According to Fox News reporter Chad Pergram, the former DNC head’s office only terminated him after authorities moved in for the arrest as Awan tried to make his way out of the country via Dulles International Airport despite his being publicly under investigation for what appear to be embezzlement and fraud allegations: 3. Wasserman Schultz has “inexplicably protected” Awan for months: The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Luke Rosiak, who has been spearheading this story since February, reported in May about Wasserman Schultz’s appearing to threaten Capitol Police Chief Matthew Verderosa with “consequences” if he did not return a laptop Awan owned that his officers had seized. Rosiak described the move as inexplicable. Other House Democrats had started dumping Awanaround the same time, but Wasserman Schultz stuck with him, despite his reported banning from the House IT network over the investigation. 4. Despite declaring bankruptcy in 2012, Awan wired $283,000 ahead to two people in Faisalabad, Pakistan, before making his break: According to court charging documents reported in Politico, Awan fraudulently obtained $165,000 as a home equity loan from the Congressional Federal Credit Union before making the wire transfer. 5. Awan’s own family is at loggerheads with him: Awan brought his brothers and wife with him into the congressional IT business. The family business, however, may not have been a happy one. The brothers’ stepmother is reportedly suing Awan for wiretapping and threats to have her family arrested in Pakistan. Awan’s own father, who is suspected of being caught up in his son’s fraudulent financial dealings, appears to have changed his name to avoid being associated with him. 6. Awan threatened a veteran family to get back the smashed hard drives and other computer equipment now at the center of the investigation: Awan and his family rented their Lorton, Virginia, home to a married couple. The Marine veteran husband told the Daily Caller he found “wireless routers, hard drives that look like they tried to destroy, laptops, [and] a lot of brand new expensive toner” in the garage. “They recycled cabinets and lined them along the walls. They left in a huge hurry,” he continued. “It looks like government-issued equipment. We turned that stuff over.” Imran Awan and his family then reportedly began trying to terrorize the Marine veteran and his Navy officer wife into returning the equipment, calling them repeatedly, arriving at the home three or four times, and threatening to sue if the equipment was not returned. Instead, the family turned the material over to the FBI. 7. In 2014, CNN published an op-ed by Awan about the perils of “Islamophobia.” In “ Opinion: ‘The Muslims Are coming!’ Why Islamophobia Is So Dangerous,” Awan openly mocked Western news outlets that publish stories on issues that are “used by the far-right into vitriolic hate against Muslims.” His examples of “Islamophobic” stories that should cause no worry include “Muhammad” becoming the most popular name in England and projections that Muslims may soon outnumber Christians in the land of St. Augustine of Canterbury. CNN was all too happy to publish Awan’s dressing down of “threatening comments that are both extremely inflammatory and promote Islamophobia.” Curiously, Awan’s defense attorney in his present case appears to have opted for the same rhetorical strategy. “This is clearly a right-wing media-driven prosecution by a United States Attorney’s Office that wants to prosecute people for working while Muslim,” Chris Gowen, Awan’s attorney, told Politico.

well Kenny you fell stupid like Al probably does lol you should ask him to share some of the money he ripe off with his big lie. Al Gore Humiliated As NASA Steps In To End His Climate Change Lie The headaches just keep piling up for Gore as he is exposes as a fraud. POSTED BY: SAM DI GANGI 26 JULY 2017 It was reported recently that Al Gore saw some horrible (for him) writing on the wall about the fact that the Earth is cooling down and has been for quite awhile. Many wondered how he could’ve been so wrong in his predictions. For that matter, global warming scientists onboard the CCGS Amundsen had to cancel a whole trip due to there being too much ice! The Gateway Pundit writes that “Al Gore has become wealthy beyond his wildest dreams (and intelligence) thanks to pushing the ‘big lie’” as yet another hammer falls on Gore and his green climate cult. That is because a new NASA study shows falling sea levels, not rising ones, as the former VP has said would be (and claims is) the case. These are the facts about sea ice levels. Iceagenow is showing that “NASA satellite sea level observations for the past 24 years show that – on average – sea levels have been rising 3.4 millimeters per year. That’s 0.134 inches, about the thickness of a dime and a nickel stacked together, per year,” but this is the only part that warmers will show to anyone. One must read on. Sea levels fell in 2016, something that the warming crowd said would never be the case. Due to a very snow ridden winter, it is expected that levels will fall again this year, too. In other words, just as the facts have told us since before Gore’s ludicrous movie, the Earth fluxes in ways that are totally unrelated to man, his factories, or the combustion engine. This is a far cry from the 20 feet that the would-be president said would be coming, too, which is a fact that can not be overlooked since we have been paying for that prediction for years. “The sea is not rising,” admitted Swedish geologist and physicist Nils-Axel Morner. “It hasn’t risen in 50 years,” when studied in the fullness of the data available. This is what science says and it is nothing like what Gore preaches. He adds that “for 35 years [he and others have] has been using every known scientific method to study sea levels all over the globe.” He shows that the “the elementary laws of physics” work to tell us that “the apocalypse conjured up by Al Gore and Co. could not possibly come about.” It looks like the Democrats, as they reinvent themselves as populists, need to take a good hard look at if this folly needs to remain as part of their official platform. At some point, the humiliation factor alone should remove it. Sources: Teddy Stick – The Gateway Pundit – Iceagenow.info – World Tribune

Kenneth give this some thought. Here's a little medical info on this subject: "It's a logistics nightmare. Let me explain: currently you can't serve in the military if you have any medical conditions that require constant treatment or excessive accommodation. That's why people with asthma, diabetes, permanent STD's/STI's (like HIV), people with cancer or a recurring history of cancer and individuals with physical disabilities can't serve (except in very rare cases where a specific waiver is granted). Transgender individuals require hormone replacement therapy, they require psychiatric care during transition, and if they elect to get surgery it can take 2-4 years for them to recover to the point of being eligible to deploy. On top of that, after the surgery they are at a higher risk of infection for the rest of their life, which complicates any attempt at sending them to the field to train where hygiene isn't always able to be pristinely maintained or deployment overseas. An overseas deployment also puts the individual at risk because they may not have steady access to their hormone replacement drugs, which leads to withdrawal and hormone imbalances as well as health problems. So, just like diabetics and cancer patients and individuals with physical or mental disabilities, it just isn't feasible to accommodate these people so that they can serve"

They join the military just to get their trans paid for. Because they have a medical condition, they are never deployed.

Wasserman Schultz’s ex-IT guy prompts talk of ‘treason’

By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Thursday, July 27, 2017

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

It’s hard at this point to know which is the worse affront to the American people — the fact that a Pakistani-born man, Imran Awan, with substantial access to congressional computer files was just arrested at the airport, while trying to flee the months-long gaze of the FBI’s eyes, or that Debbie Wasserman Schultz didn’t fire the guy until this week.

My vote? The latter. A saboteur is bad. But a Democratic Party leader sheltering a saboteur would be worse — far worse.

Who knows what coverups, what national security risks, have gone forth?

“I think this could be an enormous act of treason with a lot of people complicit,” said radio host and former Red Sox great Curt Schilling, during discussion of the arrest of Awan, former information technology consultant for Wasserman Schultz, and for several Democratic members of Congress.

Awan, who’s been reported by the Daily Caller News Foundation as under FBI investigation since at least February for various financial scandals tied to his position in Congress, was arrested this week at Dulles airport, trying to flee to Pakistan via Qatar, just hours after he made a questionable transfer of roughly $300,000 to an overseas bank account he could access.

And that arrest came after the FBI seized a couple of smashed computer hard drives from his home.

And that came after Awan, who served with his two brothers in part-time capacities in the House for eight years, reportedly collected about $4 million in taxpayer salaries for their services — a heck of a draw for positions that weren’t even full-time.

Rep. Steve King of Iowa put it bluntly: The money’s one thing. But what about the national security risk?

“They had access to the information on the multiple clients that they had,” King told Schilling, Breitbart reported. “They would have had access to all the information that came through all those computers in all those offices and access to … all the communications of the foreign affairs committee.”

That’s when Schilling made his “treason” quip.

It’s too early to tell at this point what the national security dangers from Awan’s role with the Democrats are, and where the trail — the trail of smashed computer hard drives — will lead. But one red flag rises high. Wasserman Schultz’s failure to fire Awan months ago is a dereliction of duty to the American people — a failure to side with caution. And that alone prompts even more suspicions and red flag risings.
