The Case Of Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's And Her IT Aide Has Just Gotten Interesting

Daily Caller: Wasserman Schultz’s IT Aide Arrested At Airport After Transferring $300k To Pakistan From House Office

Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s right-hand information technology (IT) aide was arrested attempting to leave the country just a few hours after The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group revealed that he is the target of an FBI investigation.

The employees had wired $283,000 from the Congressional Federal Credit Union in a House office building to two individuals in Pakistan.

“On January 18, 2017 at 12:09 pm, an international wire transfer request form was submitted [at the Congressional Federal Credit Union] at the Longworth House Office Building in the District of Columbia, in the amount of $283,000.00, to two individuals in Faisalabad, Pakistan,” according to a 10-page affidavit obtained by TheDCNF.

WNU Editor: My first post on this story was on February 5, 2017 .... Rogue IT Staff Compromised The Computer Networks Belonging To U.S. House Intelligence And Foreign Affairs Committee Members (Febraury 5, 2017). I mentioned then that this could be a non-story .... or a really big story. Five months later ... this is becoming a big story. Equipment and hard drives deliberately destroyed .... EXCLUSIVE: FBI Seized Smashed Hard Drives From Wasserman Schultz IT Aide’s Home (Daily Caller). Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz threatening capital police that they would face the consequences if equipment was not returned .... Wasserman Schultz Threatens Capital Police With ‘Consequences’ Unless They Return Equipment (Washington Free Beacon). And now this attempt to flee the country but being stopped at the airport. Hmmm .... I have a nose for this .... this could be a case of mortgage fraud and theft .... or something more. If I was a betting man .... I am now saying that there is something more to this story. What is also revealing is that for the past few months this story has only been circulating in conservative media with the main stream media completely ignoring it .... which is surprising because of the media's non-stop focus on hacking and cyber warfare since last year's election. But that was then .... today .... they have clearly made the decision that this story must be followed.
