@Linda Wood Just like a suicide with two shots to the back of the head.

this sentence?

It helped that the story seems to involve, if only tangentially, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Florida congresswoman who is the former chairwoman of the committee and an ally of Hillary Clinton’s.

Only tangentially. It's like saying the State Department emails crime connected to Clinton and her staff only tangentially because she was Secretary of State, they were her staff, and they were her emails.

In the days since, the story has raced down an increasingly familiar track at warp speed, from the fringes of the internet to Fox News and other established publications.

Cause only the NYT is trustworthy, cough cough vomit.

and here is how the "fringe" of the internet happens.

On April 25, 2017, Google announced that it had implemented changes to its search service to make it harder for users to access what it called “low-quality” information such as “conspiracy theories” and “fake news.”

Wasserman Schultz Avoiding Reporters Since Awan Arrest

Embattled Democratic Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has avoided facing any media since her law enforcement arrested her former IT staffer Imran Awan Tuesday on bank fraud charges.

Wasserman Schultz, who walked down the House Capitol steps late Wednesday afternoon following remarks she made on the floor, caught site of The Daily Caller’s reporter and nervously turned around and ran back up the steps with her staffer in tow.

TheDC has heard multiple reports from witnesses who say that Wasserman Schultz has appeared despondent and jumpy since Awan’s arrest.

And then there's this:

Fox Airs Allegations That Awans Aided Schultz With Voice Altered Phone Calls

Lt. Colonel Tony Shaffer appeared on Fox New’s Tucker Carlson where he made allegations that Imran Awan had helped Schultz make the disturbing phone call to the Beck’s legal offices. Schaffer also discussed concerns regarding sensitive information that the Awans were privy to during their employment by the DNC. In discussing the Becks, Schaffer commented that Schultz had employed the brothers to do “hideous things behind the scenes… they helped her make voice change calls…” Schaffer added that the sensitive information the Awans had access to were stored in a third database, which he said is now being called a “breach.”

If it is confirmed that the Awans helped Schultz contact the law offices of the Becks, this could have significant implications for the DNC Fraud lawsuit. Unsolicited contact from Schultz to the Becks would be highly improper. Such phone calls were one in a string of apparently threatening conduct by Schultz and her associated. The former DNC chair was reported to have threatened the U.S. Capital chief of police with “consequences” in a heated exchange after he refused to surrender a laptop seized from Imran Awan.

The video to the FOX News story is embedded in the article.

Even though it's FOX News, it does kind of make sense. DWS kept Awan on as a "technical advisor" even though he no longer had access to the House IT network. He could still had advised her on other technical issues - like how to use a voice changer.

@fakenews
I hear you. But as glacially slow as it feels, I do think the internet communication we're experiencing is a form of progress. Gradually, but definitely, more people are describing the state of affairs of our so-called government as corruption, rather than as a well-intentioned democracy. We're not arguing about whether or not our government is corrupt. We're not even arguing over the question, how corrupt are they? We're arguing over what to do about it. I find that to be real progress. Sixteen years ago, at the time of 9/11, I think most Americans believed our government was basically legitimate. Now, I think not.

One more story to chase for what? another year? You KNOW any investigation will NEVER get to the bottom of anything it investigates. Just one more distraction, one more "hush puppy" thrown. Yep, guess what? someone in Washington is evil and we're gonna' get em' this time!! Nothing, zip, nada on the justice front - ever... All 535 of them need to be dealt with harshly by some third party and receive some public justice. I can't take it anymore - representation of the people has died.

Peace
