Luck be a Wasserman tonight. That’s Steven Wasserman, assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, and word has it that he will handle the case against computer guru Imran Awan, who was arrested Tuesday on bank-fraud charges at Dulles International Airport.
Awan was employed as a consultant by several congressional Democrats, only of which continued paying him after he was accused of stealing computers and data systems in February.
That Congress member’s name? [score]Debbie Wasserman Schultz[/score] (D., Fla.). It’s no coincidence she shares a surname with Steven Wasserman. The two are sister and brother.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
