DWS confirms Swan was only arrested because of racist profiling

>“I believe that I did the right thing, and I would do it again,” Wasserman Schultz said in an interview with the Sun Sentinel about her decision to keep Imran Awan employed as information technology aide for six months – after he was banned from the House computer network and other members of Congress fired him.

>As the former Democratic National Committee chairwoman, Wasserman Schultz is the most prominent Democrat who employed Awan.Her decision to keep employing Awan has been under firefrom her Democratic primary challenger, Republicans and multiple conservative websites. They’ve suggested Wasserman Schultz is hiding something and the Awan matter is much more serious than she’s letting on.

>His arrest, the congresswoman said, had nothing to do with the investigation of Awan as an IT worker for members of Congress.An FBI affidavitsaid Awan and his wife claimed a property used to secure a home equity line of credit was a “principal residence,” when it was, in fact, a rental property.

>DWS said there still hasn’t been any evidence that he’s done anything wrong.

>She believes he may have been put under scrutiny because of his Muslim religion

>Awan, his wife and brothers worked for years for various members of Congress. He was a "shared employee", with each office paying a salary.

>“The right-wing media circus fringe has immediately focused not on this run-of-the-mill investigation just reporting the facts, but jumped to outrageous, egregious conclusions that they have ties to terrorists and were stealing data,” she said.

>Wasserman Schultz said the Awan case is getting so much attention from conservative media outlets because they’re attempting to distract people from the investigation intowhether President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russiato influence the election. “Any opportunity they can to pull people’s eyes away from that they take.”
