Lol....DWS has given her first interview since this scandal broke and it is every bit as nonsensical as one might expect:
Blabbermouth speaks
"In the interview, Blabbermouth blabbers. “I believe that I did the right thing, and I would do it again,” she told Man. “There are times when you can’t be afraid to stand alone, and you have to stand up for what’s right. It would have been easier for me to just fire him,” she said. "
There are times when you can't be afraid to stand alone. Being brave enough to continue to pay an IT guy despite his shady-ness being exposed is apparently one of those times lol. After all, it would have been too easy to just fire him. That would have been the cowards way out. Get ready for the best part though:
"Schultz kept Awan on the payroll in the name of fairness. “I had grave concerns about his due process rights being violated,” she told Man. “When their investigation was reviewed with me, I was presented with no evidence of anything that they were being investigated for. And so that, in me, gave me great concern that his due process rights were being violated. That there were racial and ethnic profiling concerns that I had.”
Seeing a Democrat say this is solid gold lol. Obviously if she feels this way then the Trump/Russia investigation must grind her gears 😆
This next part isn't suspicious at all:
"Man asked her about the laptop about which she grilled Capitol Police Chief Matthew R. Verderosa at a May 18 House Appropriations subcommittee hearing. She said the laptop in question was issued by her office to Awan. “He accidentally left it somewhere,” a loss Wasserman Schultz said was reported to the Capitol Police. When the Capitol Police recovered the laptop, the agency wanted to search its contents.
She said she has agreed to allow the police to examine the laptop and wasn’t attempting to hide anything. “This was not my laptop. I have never seen that laptop. I don’t know what’s on the laptop,” she said.
She told Man that her concern about the nature of the investigation was what prompted her to warn Verderosa at the hearing that he could face consequences. “I was trying to get more information I wanted to make sure they were following the rules.”
"Above is the video clip from the May 18 House Appropriations Committee budget hearing, covered here by the Daily Mail. In the video Schultz postulates that “the Member owns the equipment” and that “there is no ongoing case related to that member [of Congress].” She reiterates that the laptop “belongs to the Member [of Congress].” Again she asks what is to happen “if the member loses the equipment” and there is no “ongoing investigation related to the member.” Schultz’s questions and comments to Verderosa cannot fairly be squared with her comments to Man."
Hmmm, how weird. Oh and there is an article in the Wall Street Journal today about this scandal called "The scandal that matters".
