The story of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and an indicted IT staffer thats lighting up the right, expla
The RWNJ sources are pushing this story as the next E. Farkas, Susan Rice and/or Seth Rich conspiracy theory. I had never heard of this story and it seems that there is nothing to it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/08/08/the-story-of-debbie-wasserman-schultz-and-an-it-staffer-thats-lighting-up-the-right/?utm_term=.b94fdc35fed2
Mainstream media outlets have covered the story, but not extensively. The Washington Post has published two articles: One reporting Awan's arrest and the other about a watchdog group seeking an investigation.
Left-leaning sites have either stayed away from it or defended Wasserman Schultz's account of it.
The congresswoman says conservatives are making a big deal of this to distract from the much more real Russia investigation. “Undoubtedly, the easier path would have been to terminate Mr. Awan, despite the fact that I had not received any evidence of his alleged wrongdoing,” she said in a statement issued last week, “but that is not the woman my constituents elected, and that is not the mother my children know me to be.”
Clearly, there are a lot of political accusations tied up in this nuanced story. Here's what we know about the timeline of accusations against Arwan, his arrest and his dismissal by Wasserman Schultz.

After reading the timeline in the Washington Post article, there is not anything to worry about despite the hype on RWNJ sources
