Disgraced Former DNC Head Threatens DC Police

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (FL-D) threatened "consequences" if the DC police did not return a laptop that was recovered by Capitol Police after it disappeared while being sought in an investigation.

Mysteriously enough, the laptop was used by a Pakistani IT expert who is suspected of massive data breaches while hired to work in her office.

From the Daily Caller:
The Florida lawmaker used her position on the committee that sets the police force’s budget to press its chief to relinquish the piece of evidence Thursday, in what could be considered using her authority to attempt to interfere with a criminal investigation.

The Capitol Police and outside agencies are pursuing Imran Awan, who has run technology for the Florida lawmaker since 2005 and was banned from the House network in February on suspicion of data breaches and theft.

“My understanding is the the Capitol Police is not able to confiscate Members’ equipment when the Member is not under investigation,” Wasserman Schultz said in the annual police budget hearing of the House Committee On Appropriations’ Legislative Branch Subcommittee.
Imran Awan and his two brothers are suspects in one of the most serious security breaches in the history of Congress. Obviously Wasserman-Schultz has more than a passing interest in squelching this investigation. More here.
