Does Breitbart or Daily Caller know? Haven't had time to check.

Excellent Recap. How on earth is this not being covered? This is Page 1 (above the fold) stuff.

Enough with the 27 Transgenders that will retire from the military. 97% of Americans don't freaking care. (99% don't care in swing states)

Very curious if they sent classified or sensitive information out to non-American countries (or non-American groups). & what info was sent.....& where it was sent to.

Yet he has beat every politician who came up against him in the polls, including the Bush & Clinton families who have 5 presidential wins between them.

The party under his leadership continues to win elections.

And, most importantly, he can go to the real world, like Youngstown Ohio, and fill a 7,000 seat venue beyond capacity, with another 13,000 watching on monitors outside.

All of this speaks for itself. i.e. Trump is President, the MSM is irrelevant.

Sure, if the Russian investigation can be a nothing burger, why not this one too ?

Ok, OP, you got us, we have to confess that there is this Yuge conspiracy in the United States to ONLY attack Donald Trump. Everyone from the FBI, CIA, and every news organization on the planet (even overseas) got together and decided to put out fake stories about Donald Trump, but to totally ignore any negative things about Hillary or the rest of the Democrats.

We're covering up the real story about Big Foot too, but we'll talk about that another time.

Cause he will be eventually tied to the muslim brotherhood and the MSM loves muslims and the muslim brotherhood. So they will avoid the story as long as possible.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

From what I can tell, this guy and his wife are charged with attempting to commit bank fraud by "misrepresenting themselves on a loan for a rental property they had and then wiring the proceeds to two unnamed persons in Pakistan."

Sounds as if the guy lied about how much a rental property was worth, refinanced it and wired the proceeds to someone in Pakistan.

Even Fox News couldn't make much hay from that.

"Why isn't the MSM covering the Awan Brothers/Congressional Democrat scandal? "

Because they worked for the Democrats. I wish they would cover it though, it's scary and fascinating. Not to mention there's a lesson for all to learn, keep tabs on who you hire.

Default Why isn't the MSM covering the Awan Brothers/Congressional Democrat scandal?

Leading members of the establishment media are ignoring the months-long House IT scandal rocking congressional Democrats, even after the FBI’s investigation into the matter became public, and even after Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s top IT aide was arrested trying to flee to Pakistan after wiring almost $300,000 to the country.
As of Thursday morning, both the New York Times and Wall Street Journal have yet to report on the growing scandal surrounding several IT staffers employed by House Democrats, including Wasserman Schultz’s top IT aide, Imran Awan.
Other establishment media outlets are similarly refusing to tell the public about the growing scandal. MSNBC has given zero on-air coverage to the scandal. ABC News and NBC News’ national broadcasts have similarly given zero coverage to the scandal. CNN’s only on-air coverage of the scandal so far was a brief mention during the 6 a.m. ET hour Thursday.
As reported by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Luke Rosiak — who for months has extensively covered the growing scandal — Awan was arrested on Monday as he attempted to flee the country to Pakistan after wiring almost $300,000 to the country. The FBI seized smashed hard drives from Awan’s home as part of the ongoing investigation. (RELATED: FBI Seized Smashed Hard Drives From Wasserman Schultz IT Aide’s Home)
The Pakistani-born Awan attempted to flee the country shortly after Rosiak’s report that he was the subject of an FBI investigation. Awan’s wife, who was also on congressional Democrats’ payroll, previously fled to Pakistan, as first reported by Rosiak.

Awan and members of his family received $4 million from the Democratic congressmen they were working for since 2010. Wasserman Schultz has been especially uncooperative with the probe into her staffers and even threatened the Capitol Police chief for gathering evidence. She refused to fire Awan until after he was arrested, even though Capitol Police had already revoked the Awans’ access to the congressional IT system in February 2017 in relation to a major security breach.
Current House IT aids fear the suspects are blackmailing Democratic members of Congress with their own data, based on the Democratic members’ inexplicable loyalty to the House IT staffers involved in the probe.
Despite the growing scandal, the establishment media has for months done its best to keep the public in the dark. That trend continued this week, even after Rosiak reported the existence of the FBI investigation, and even after Awan — a top Democratic staffer — was arrested trying to flee the country to Pakistan. (RELATED: House Dem IT Suspects Wanted Untraceable Payments — And Sure Enough, Millions Disappeared)
The Washington Post — whose motto is “Democracy dies in darkness” — kept its readers in the dark for months about the growing scandal. The Post published its first article on the House IT scandal Wednesday afternoon, noting Awan’s arrest for bank fraud.

Relax, will ya?

Fox will keep you distracted with DWS to whatever extent you permit.

Meanwhile, the real media has a MUCH bigger story to follow.

I report. You decide.
