I wonder what they'll find on her laptop...

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz recently used her position as a member of the House subcommittee that sets the U.S. Capitol Police budget to threaten the police chief regarding an investigation into her own staff.

During the May 18 House Appropriations Legislative Branch Subcommittee hearing, a visibly annoyed Wasserman Schultz said "there will be consequences" when Police Chief Matthew R. Verderosa said he could not return her laptop that had been used by a Pakistani staffer currently under criminal investigation.

Via the Daily Caller:

“My understanding is the the Capitol Police is not able to confiscate Members’ equipment when the Member is not under investigation,” Wasserman Schultz said in the annual police budget hearing of the House Committee On Appropriations’ Legislative Branch Subcommittee.

“We can’t return the equipment,” Police Chief Matthew R. Verderosa told the Florida Democrat.

“I think you’re violating the rules when you conduct your business that way and you should expect that there will be consequences,” Wasserman Schultz said.

Her employee Imran Awan and three of his relatives were relieved of their duties and banned from computer networks at the House of Representatives in February on suspicion that they had accessed congressional computers without permission. Politico reported in March:

[They are] accused of stealing equipment from members’ offices without their knowledge and committing serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network.

The Capitol Police and outside agencies have been investigating the case for months and there have been no arrests. One of the suspects, Imran Awan's wife Hina Alvi, recently fled the country to Pakistan, "where her family has significant assets and VIP-level protection," according to the Daily Caller.
