Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) just can’t seem to avoid controversy. She is now embroiled in a major scandal, yet the media is flat-out ignoring it. You won’t see this story on CNN or MSNBC.
We already know that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has no qualms about breaking the law. After all, when she chaired the DNC, she colluded with then-candidate Hillary Clinton to block Bernie Sanders from winning the Democratic nomination; we’re not dealing with a stand-up citizen here.
What Debbie’s done now, however, takes the cake. Apparently, even when she was oustedas the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee on the eve of the party’s convention, she did not learn that a reputation is a terrible thing to ruin, as new reports reveal she’s been up to her old shenanigans once again.
According to Fox News, a Florida Circuit judge ruled Friday that the state’s second-most populous county violated state and federal laws by destroying ballots from a 2016 Democratic primary race which Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz won. Circuit Judge Raag Singhal decided that the records were wrongly destroyed because the laws require elections offices to keep the ballots in federal elections for 22 months. Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes destroyed the ballots after 12 months.
So, why the rush to destroy these ballots? Well, they were subject to a lawsuit at the time Snipes got rid of them. Could those ballots have contained some incriminating evidence that would have put Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her cronies away for election fraud? We may never know for sure, seeing as Snipes destroyed them, even though only a court order should have allowed their destruction as they were evidence in a lawsuit.
The lawsuit was brought by Tim Canova, the defeated Democratic primary candidate who sued the elections office after seeking to check for voting irregularities. He lost the primary race by nearly 7,000 votes to Wasserman Schultz. Canova, who will be challenging the congresswoman again this year as an Independent, sought the paper ballots in March 2017, but he was forced to sue three months later after he said Snipes failed to comply with the request and wanted to charge $72,000 to sort and produce the records, Politico reported.
“The governor has the power to dismiss Snipes from office for malfeasance and misfeasance,” Canova said. “The judge also pointed to the supervisor’s bad faith for continuing to litigate for months after admitting she destroyed the ballots, which will certainly run up the cost to taxpayers.”
Snipes testified that the push to destroy the ballots, which she did in September, was a “mistake,” adding that the boxes were mislabeled. She said, “Nothing on my part that was intentional.” But the judge dismissed the argument, saying, “Defendant’s lack of intent to destroy evidence while this case was pending is irrelevant.”
“We can’t bring the ballots back. But there are consequences to violating the law,” said Canova’s attorney, Leonard Collins. “There are provisions in the law that: A) allow for criminal penalties for doing something like this and B) allow Gov. Rick Scott to suspend a records custodian for this. And we have a supervisor of elections in Broward who has shown complete malfeasance in terms of her ability to function and run and operate an office.”
Hmmmm…. Comey could have benefited from that intelligence. Indeed, most are aware that intent has little to do with the fact that a law has been broken. While it might mitigate the sentence, it does not reduce the guilt.
But, this is Debbie and Democrats we are talking about here. Surely no one thinks there was anything amiss in the election and a Democrat lackey destroyed evidence. Why, Hillary would be so disappointed in them.
It’s Fla! What do you want?!@#!? they destroyed 25,000 – 45,000 Military votes in ’00!
Yeb’s Sec State (an honest leftist – ahem) gave many “reasons” for destroying the ballots (WERE THEY COUNTED AND FOUND FAVORING THE WRONG MAN?):
1. Filled out wrong
2. Maile arrived late
3. Citizenship questionable
And how much coverage did :ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC ET. AL. GIVE? Actually some; a wee bit. But less than 5% of their CHAD coverage. Assuming 60% went for GWB these votes would have made the CHAD votes immaterial!
Remember Fla is Bush land. Ask Sheriff Israel!
The name Debbie reminds me of the monkey with the big hair y ears from LOST IN SPACE
the second term election for the radicalized terrorist obama, ALL
military votes were destroyed.
