Do you regularly get your news from Russia Today? That explains a lot really.Quote:

See? You don't have to get your news directly from Russian propaganda sources, there are plenty of news outlets right here in the good 'ol US of A that will cater to your tastes.
Now do you have any thoughts on this story or are you just doing a drive-by? The jist of the article is that he is now being charged with four felony counts instead of just the one felony count of bank fraud. The charges are as follows: making false statements on a loan or credit application; engaging in unlawful monetary transactions and conspiracy to commit bank fraud; false statements on a loan or credit application and unlawful monetary transactions.
All of these charges are related to the fact that he took out a home equity loan on a house that he owned that was not his primary residence [[it was a rental property) but he lied on the application and said it was his primary residence. Crime of the century, for sure, and yes by all means lock him up for his crimes.
The part I'm not quite getting is how a former House IT aide committing a financial crime that had absolutely nothing to do with his former job as a House IT aide has any relevance to anything.
From the Fox News article:
Quote:
Attorney Christopher Gowen told Fox News that federal authorities have no evidence of misconduct by Awan relating to his IT duties.
WOW AJ branching out from Wiki!Quote:

Meanwhile in Dem Land...The Wasserman IT scandal gets little play....
http://nypost.com/2017/08/19/it-staf...-intelligence/
Seems to be getting plenty of play on Right Wing media sources and Russian propaganda outlets desperate for any story to distract from the raging dumpster fire that is the Trump Administration. NYPost, Russia Today, Drudge, Fox News, Right Wing talk radio, sounds like "play" to me. Also isn't it odd that the reporting on Russia Today so closely mirrors that of American Right Wing media outlets? It's almost as if their agendas align or something...Quote:

Again, sorry that they aren't covering this story as the number one news story in the nation to suit your tastes, but every single "fifth column" news outlet did in fact report on it. In fact they each reported on this story multiple times.
Don't look now, but that's a CNN article you linked to! I thought they weren't reporting on it?Quote:

Again, how is it "big news?" A low-level IT staffer committed bank fraud. He is not charged with a single offense related to his former job as a House IT staffer. Still waiting on what part of that constitutes "big news."Quote:

Stop racial profiling this IT staffer per Wasserman's claim.
Yeah it's not news.:rolleyes:
Wait a second, I thought Seth Rich leaked the DNC emails? Now you're saying this guy did it? Which is it? Because it can't be both. I'm sorry Gman, but I must insist that you pick one conspiracy theory to explain the DNC email leak and stick with it please.Quote:

Oh, is that like when Trump says "Some people are saying" followed by some ridiculous claim to avoid accusations that he himself is suggesting it?Quote:

Hillary's book is out. Maybe Russia will make a come back for that.Quote:

The DNC fraud lawsuit has been dismissed:

Just a slight distinction: Manafort isn't under investigation because he worked as a foreign lobbyist. He's under investigation because he got paid tens of millions of dollars by the Russians, did not report that income, did not pay taxes on that income, and instead illegally laundered it through various shell companies in Central America. That's what he's under investigation for. Did Podesta engage in illegal money laundering of tens of millions of dollars paid to him by the Russians? If not, I'd say it's not entirely an apt comparison.Quote:
