NationalReview | To summarize, the indictment is an exercise in omission. No mention
of the Awan group’s theft of information from Congress. Not a hint
about the astronomical sums the family was paid, much of it for no-show
“work.” Not a word about Wasserman Schultz’s keeping Awan on the payroll
for six months during which (a) he was known to be under investigation,
(b) his wife was known to have fled to Pakistan, and (c) he was not
credentialed to do the IT work for which he had been hired. Nothing
about Wasserman Schultz’s energetic efforts to prevent investigators
from examining Awan’s laptop. A likely currency-transportation offense
against Alvi goes uncharged. And, as for the offenses that are charged,
prosecutors plead them in a manner that avoids any reference to what
should be their best evidence.
There is something very strange going on here.
