Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s pathetic ‘right thing’ defenseNew York Post, Aug 4, 2017, Editorial Board
Only someone as brazenly arrogant as Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz could claim her own irresponsible behavior as a civic virtue.
The former Democratic Party chair insists she “did the right thing” by not firing an IT aide after being warned he was under criminal investigation, “and I would do it again.”
Not only did she stand by Imran Awan, she tried to stonewall Capitol Hill investigators and even threatened them with “consequences” if they didn’t back off.
Awan is now charged with bank fraud — but that’s the least of the story, which she chalks up entirely to anti-Muslim bias.
He allegedly arranged a fraudulent credit-union loan that was then wrapped in a $283,000 wire transfer to Pakistan just weeks after he learned he was under investigation for stolen computer equipment.
Awan had worked for dozens of top Democrats since 2004, starting with Queens’ own Rep. Gregory Meeks. In February, they all fired him after learning he was suspected of secretly accessing members’ computers and transferring files to remote servers.
All but Wasserman Schultz, that is.
