Stories are breaking today about Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s IT aide being not only the subject of a federal investigation, having sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Middle East nation and then being arrested fleeing the country.

The number of layers to this onion is presently unknown, but the former Speaker of the House of Representatives and current Minority Party Leader, Nancy Pelosi, may well get caught up in the whole stinky mess.

As a brief recap; the entire affair surrounds Imran Awan, a Pakistani-born IT aide to Wasserman Schultz who had access to all emails and files not only of Wasserman Schultz but dozens of members of Congress plus had the password to the iPad Wasserman Schultz used for Democratic National Committee business before she resigned her chairmanship in shame in 2016 for ethics violations surrounding rigging the primary election for Hillary Clinton (and against Bernie Sanders).

Also central to the plot are Awan’s wife and brothers. His wife has already fled the United States having been confirmed on a flight to Qatar with $12,000 cash stashed in her suitcase and flying with several cardboard boxes. An investigation published by The Daily Caller has stated that soon after Imran began working for Wasserman Schultz four of his relatives, including his brothers, appeared on the payroll of other Democrats at inflated salaries, but Democrat staffers said they were rarely seen at work. They’ve collected $4 million in taxpayer salaries since 2009.

And now the plot thickens.

Wikileak’s Julian Assange, via the Gateway Pundit, has connected Awan to Pelosi via a series of tweets that indicate Awan most definitely had access to her IT hardware as well.

“Don’t look to the mainstream media to tell you how troubling the situation with the Awan brothers is. It’s worse than you think. After Imran Awan was arrested this week for trying to flee the country, WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange reminded his 279,000 Twitter followers of the link between Imran Awan and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Below is the full email dated May 12, 2016 from DNC leaks series:

Pelosi is doing s [sic] closed door meeting. No staff or anyone allowed. Kaitlyn come to Rayburn room and get her iPad for Imran.
Thanks.

Tracie and Kate I will call Kate. Conf in Tracie

Rosalyn Kumar
Rep. Wasserman Schultz

So the highest ranking Democrat in the U.S. House of Representative was having her iPad brought into a room in which a closed-door meeting was being conducted so that it could be made available to a man arrested while fleeing the country and who has transferred $300,000 of cash to a terror-prone nation.

How is all of this business - from Hillary Clinton’s pay-for-play meeting setting arrangement while at the State Department to this congressional and DNC staffer smashing hard drives with a hammer and sending cash overseas before attempting to flee - not treasonous behavior?

In a press briefing over a month ago a reporter presented this highly troubling information to Representative Pelosi. She laid out the data pile which sounds more like a spy novel than anything else: Democrat IT staffers who’ve been banned from the Congressional network, been under investigation by Capital Hill police under suspicion for breaching security and stealing equipment. Pelosi’s response? “I’m not familiar with it.” “I’m not sufficiently understanding the situation.” See for yourself:

Excuse me, Ms. Minority Leader, but if YOU aren’t familiar and sufficiently understanding the situation of Democrat staffers possibly engaged in illegal and/or treasonous activities within the ranks of your own party and within the halls of the very building you work in, WHO IS? Why are we paying you, to tell us “I don’t know?”

This whole thing stinks to high heaven and hopefully the truth will come out. Soon.
