Opinion in Brief

Burt Prelutsky: “While the Democrats have been devoting all their time and attention to connecting the Trump campaign to Russia, they’ve been ignoring, and in fact impeding, an actual scandal involving four Pakistanis and national security. I refer to the fact that Imran Awan, his wife Hina Alvi and her brothers, Abid and Jamal, were all working as ITs (information technicians) for House Democrats, most notably Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who spent months trying to hinder the feds in their investigation of the Pakis. The Awans had access to the confidential computer files of numerous House Democrats, including those serving on committees involved with Homeland Security, Foreign Affairs and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Although federal agents were able to arrest Mr. Awan just before he boarded a flight to Qatar, his wife and brothers-in-law had already flown the coop with several hundred thousand dollars — and Allah only knows how many state secrets! No doubt Wasserman Schultz and her fellow House members had conducted a massive search for Americans who knew their way around a computer before finally, in desperation, settling on a family of Pakistani nationals. Apparently, the charge against Imran Awan involves bank fraud, which, under the circumstances, is reminiscent of the feds nailing Al Capone for not paying his income taxes.”
