[Red State] Late Wednesday a group of Congressmen met to discuss the ever present and under-investigated case of Imran Awan, the House IT staffer and longtime associate of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Awan has been directly connected to a growing number of violations and questionable activities in DC. He is currently in custody and facing bank fraud charges, as just a part of his list of transgressions. You're right, it's an ageless beauty.
During the current court proceedings it has been revealed Awan’s wife, Hina Alvi has turned on him. The co-defendants have independent legal counsel, as a result of her charging him in Pakistani court with bigamy, and other violent offenses. It is just the latest development in a story that grows in scope and drama ‐ yet provokes limited curiosity with authorities.
Involved in this meeting were Congressmen Louie Gohmert (TX), Jim Jordan (OH), Scott Perry (PA) and Ron DeSantis (FL), and also sitting in was Daily Caller reporter Luke Rosiak, and Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch. Hearing the known details and some of the numbers connected to these activities illustrate the range of this scandal.
Awan compiled a group of family members and friends who became IT workers within the House of Representatives. He developed an unusual amount of clout and access, and it has been discovered he spearheaded organized graft from this position. The story first broke in February when numerous computers and other tech devices were discovered stolen from nearly two dozen house members. Most of Awan’s ring were relieved of their duties, save for himself as he was brought onto Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s staff as an adviser. Since then a widening list of violations has been compiled against the group.
Key takeaway: If you're going to commit a crime, commit it by yourself.
She's probably been talking to the FBI and/or Klingons for years. BTW, has anyone seen Tamerlan Tsarnaev's wife, Katherine Russell lately, or is she involved in one of those NASA colonization projects ?
Sadly, a bit premature for obits.
[FoxNews] Hillary Clinton could be headed to Columbia University.
The former secretary of state and first lady is reportedly in talks with the Ivy League school to both take on a formal role with the university and to keep her archives there, according to the New York Daily News.
"It's all fluid. It could be a number of things. No decisions have been made, but there are talks," a source familiar with the 2016 presidential candidate told The News.
"She's trying to figure out what she wants to do. It could end up with the papers at one place and she has some sort of faculty role at another. She hasn't quite come to a decision," the source continued.
Clinton could potentially be deemed a "University Professor" at the famed New York institution, a position that would permit her to lecture in multiple departments and schools but without a specific course restriction, a source told The News.
Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, is an adjunct assistant professor at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health. And her old boss, former President Barack Obama, received his bachelor's degree from the university in 1983.
A timeline on Clinton's potential decision to teach at the school wasn't immediately clear. She's currently on a book tour promoting her tome about the 2016 presidential election, "What Happened."
"I don't think it will be two years from now. She gave birth to this book last month. She's trying to get through that. But it will be a short time table," a source told The News.
A request for comment from Columbia was not immediately returned. What would she be teaching?
What went wrong, perhaps.

This makes sense. Her safe space. Who would dare argue or challenge her. While you are here you are to learn and accept my teachings. When you graduate you can do and say as you please but here the real world is as I instruct. I have seen people failed for contrary opinions.

Posey served as director of special projects and treasurer of the congressional campaign committee for former U.S. Congressman Stephen E. Stockman, 60, of the Houston, Texas area, from January 2013 to November 2013. Posey admitted that, at Stockman’s direction, he and another congressional staffer, illegally funneled $15,000 of charitable proceeds into Stockman’s campaign bank account and caused the campaign to file reports with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) that falsely stated that the money was a contribution from their parents and from the staffers themselves.
[also]... falsely stated that the donor’s $350,000 donation had been used to support a charitable endeavor, when in fact the funds were actually used for other purposes, including Stockman’s campaigns for public office.
Posey also admitted that he and Stockman raised $450,571.65 to support Stockman’s 2014 Senate campaign by falsely representing to a donor that the funds would be used to support a legitimate independent advocacy group Posey created.
I didn't see the party affiliation at the link, so I assumed Stockman was a (D), but Wikipedia says he's a (R).

[DailyCaller] The FBI has found 30 pages of documents related to the June 2016 airport tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, even after the bureau claimed to not have any records related to the matter.
FBI lawyers revealed the existence of the records in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, the conservative watchdog group.
The FBI had informed Judicial Watch last October that the bureau did not have any records related to the June 27, 2016 meeting between Clinton and Lynch. That encounter, which occurred on the tarmac at Phoenix’s airport, was significant because it took place while the Justice Department was investigating Hillary Clinton’s potential mishandling of classified information on her private email account.
Though the FBI told Judicial Watch that it did not have records related to the meeting, the Justice Department revealed in response to a separate lawsuit filed by the watchdog that some of its officials had been in contact with FBI officials about the Clinton-Lynch encounter.
In August, the Justice Department released emails showing some of its officials exchanging emails with the FBI regarding the meeting. And in a July 1, 2016, email, Justice Department official Caroline Pokomy told colleagues that "FBI is asking for guidance" on the controversy.
After the release of those documents, the FBI acknowledged that it had possession of some records related to the meeting. The bureau’s attorneys informed Judicial Watch that, "Upon further review, we subsequently determined potentially responsive documents may exist."
It is unclear what documents about the tarmac meeting the FBI has in its possession, but Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton calls the FBI’s new disclosure "stunning."
"The FBI is out of control," Fitton said in a statement. Continues...
