[Daily Caller] Prosecutors have given Imran Awan a copy of the hard drive of a House laptop that Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz tried to keep law enforcement from looking at, court filings show, suggesting prosecutors intend to bring charges related to the underlying cybersecurity and theft probe.
The hard-drive copy was included in discovery even though the Florida Democrat has said the laptop contains House information on it and is a government-paid work computer, and even though Imran was fired and banned from the House network because of suspected cybersecurity violations.
Skipping down a bit to a couple of paragraphs possibly containing the reasons for the release of data:
Imran had access to all the emails and files of dozens of House Democrats. The bizarre refusal of members of Congress to criticize Imran no matter how many suspicious actions are tied to him raises questions about whether members may be afraid that he could release their emails if they assist in his prosecution, or that some could implicated in a kickbacks scheme involving disappearing equipment and ghost employees.
Immediately after prosecutors gave Imran a copy of the laptop, Imran’s wife, Hina Alvi, told prosecutors she would agree to return from Pakistan to face charges, seemingly indicating she has confidence that she won’t face serious punishment for theft or cyberviolations, despite authorities being in possession of massive quantities of invoices that were systematically altered to prevent the equipment from appearing in House inventories.

Ya think? That statement deserves alone deserves the Masters of the Obvious graf.
[FOXNEWS] The Trump administration has no plans to charge former IRS ...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies... official Lois Lerner ...the former head of the IRS Exempt Unit. She is a past president of the Council on Governmental Ethics Laws and a member of the Massachussetts bar. She was held in contempt of Congress for her role in the IRS targeting of regime political enemies and refusing to testify. The dog ate her computer's hard drive with all her emails on it... over her role in the Tea Party targeting scandal, the Justice Department said Friday in response to calls by Republican politicians to revisit the case.
In a letter to the politicians, the Justice Department said that "reopening the criminal investigation would not be appropriate based on the available evidence."
This past April, House Boodle Central Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, and Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., had asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions to take a "fresh look" at the case.
Despite numerous hearings and inquiries into the tough treatment of conservative groups by the tax agency during the 2010 and 2012 elections, the Obama Justice Department had announced in 2015 that no one at the IRS would be prosecuted. They said at the time that Sherlocks had "found no evidence that any IRS official acted based on political, discriminatory, corrupt or other inappropriate motives that would support a criminal prosecution."

Go to the DOJ web site and leave an email opinion about this. Probably won't do any good, but might make you feel better. Yep, 1 set of rules for civilians, another set of rules for gov. employees.

In chess the King is sacrosanct and must be protected at all cost. I have a hunch this agency and it's upper echelon enjoy a similar protected status.
[Hot Air] He’s always been crystal clear about his allegiances. In 2010 he famously told Newsweek, "I have only one loyalty, and that’s to the immigrant community." Watch his floor speech from yesterday below and you’ll find him celebrating DREAMers for having one loyalty as well, to the United States. If that’s true, they’re doing a better job with their priorities than he is.
Gutierrez is prepared to go to the mat for legalization this December by using the impending fiscal cliff as leverage. Are Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi?

You do that, you little prick, and watch how quickly people turn on you because you value a handful of illegal aliens over American citizens. After the 2018 election we won't have to listen to your bullshit anymore.

What a worthless anti-American Mexican scumbag. You need to be deported, not in Congress. Screw your district too voting for commie Shit like you.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] President Trump is not concerned that he angered some Capitol Hill Republicans by striking a deal with Democrats to quickly pass emergency disaster relief, the White House said Friday, saying it was more important to break the gridlock in Congress.
"The biggest message is we are a lot less focused on what makes Congress happy and [instead on] what makes Americans better and stronger," said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. "He’s going to continue working with whoever is interested in moving the ball forward to help the American people."
Mr. Trump blindsided Republican leaders and riled conservative politicians with the deal that tied a short-term increase in the debt limit and spending to keep the government open until mid-December with the emergency disaster relief. Chuck Schumer is a more reliable partner than John McCain and Susan Collins.
The package was headed to Mr. Trump’s desk after winning final approval from Congress earlier in the day.
Mrs. Sanders said the deal-making was one of the reason voters sent Mr. Trump to the White House.
"The president’s focus was doing what is best for the American people. And that’s why he’s the president," she said. "People wanted somebody to be a leader. They wanted someone who was going to step up and take action, and that’s exactly what the president did."

Considering how the RHINOs in congress have treated Trump, I can't blame him. Make a couple small deals with the demoncrats to hopefully shame them. If they don't come to the table then declare war on them.
[FREEBEACON] An environmental group challenging the construction of President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s border wall and prototype projects in San Diego expanded its lawsuit challenging the Homeland Security Department’s authority to waive environmental laws in order to move forward with the project.
The new filing in U.S. District Court argues that then-Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly did not have the constitutional or other legal authority to waive dozens of environmental laws to "rush construction of the border wall and prototypes."
"The waiver highlights the Trump administration’s dangerous disregard for our environment and the rule of law," Brian Segee, a senior attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, which filed the lawsuit, said in a statement. "Trump is willing to throw environmental protections out the window and fulfill his divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... and destructive campaign promise."
"What’s to stop him from using this lawless approach to wreck wildlife refuges and beautiful public lands all along the border?" he added.

So it's ascetic concerns rather than environmental concerns.
[DAILYCALLER] Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine says he does not know much about so-called members of "antifascist" ...anybody not a leftist... (Antifa) groups but says it is unfair to paint them with a broad brush. ... and he just can't find information on them anywhere!
When asked by The Daily Caller Thursday if Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... should be considered a terrorist organization, Kaine replied: "I don’t like broad brushes and I don’t know enough about them to say that they’re forces of Evil but people who do violent things. The law should take care of them."
The Department of Homeland Security has called the activities of Antifa "domestic terrorist violence," according to Politico.
Kaine’s son, Linwood, was jugged Book 'im, Mahmoud! back in March at a pro-Trump rally at Minnesota’s state Capitol on misdemeanor charges in connection with lighting smoke bombs.
The younger Kaine was accused of taking part in Antifa activities against Trump supporters.
When asked about his son’s arrest at the time of his son’s arrest the Senator said through a spokeswoman to CNN: "We love that our three children have their own views and concerns about current political issues. They fully understand the responsibility to express those concerns peacefully."
Sen. Kaine, along with Democratic Sen. Mark Warner and Republican Sens. Cory Gardner and Johnny Isakson, signed a bipartisan resolution Wednesday condemning "white nationalists, white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and other hate groups" for their role in the violence in Charlottesville, Va., last month, but does not mention so called anti-fascist groups.
