Heroic: Debbie Wasserman Schultz kept Imran Awan on payroll partly over ethnic profiling concerns
As Twitchy reported, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s former IT staffer and his wife were indicted by a grand jury recently on counts of bank fraud and making false statements. The two were arrested at Dulles International Airport in July as they were preparing to fly to Pakistan after wiring $283,000 from the Congressional Federal Credit Union to that country. Just days before they were nabbed, the Daily Caller reported that the FBI had seized smashed hard drives from Awan’s home.
Many wondered why Wasserman Schultz had kept Awan, who had access to all emails and files of dozens of members of Congress, on the payroll even after a criminal investigation into his activities was made public. Wasserman Schultz answered that question Tuesday, as reported in the Sun Sentinel.
