A Good Leaving Alone


In their zeal to keep alive the story about Trump-Russia "collusion", the national media has somehow overlooked a major security breach centered around the Democrats in Congress. It seems five members of the Awan family from Pakistan have been implicated in compromising sensitive information stored on Congressional computers and absconding with actual hardware. These Awans were all IT employees of Democrat Representatives (including Debbie Wasserman Schwartz) who were all earning around $150,000 per year for, as it turns out, part-time efforts ... while they also were running a car dealership. In February they were outed by the Capitol police for suspicious data security breaches and even theft ... and at least one has now fled back to the protection of the Pakistan authorities ... see: Daily Caller Article.

Have we seen or read about this serious security breach of sensitive legislative data in the major national media outlets? No? Instead, they have been giving this embarrassment a good leaving alone. I guess there has not been the space nor the time for such trivialities when the much more important story presents itself of how Donald Trump has been sexually servicing Vladimir Putin.

  1. I'd expect the major conservative news outlets -- BreitBart, Fox, Blaze -- plus Powerline, Rush, and Coulter to concur on this story first. If THEY are leaving it alone, it is an orphan

    1. I think one could argue that Fox is no longer a conservative news outlet. (And they have fallen to no. 3 in cable news ratings. What's that old expression, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."?)
