Breaking: Debbie Wasserman-Schulz' IT staffer arrested while trying to flee US

[Anonymous]

Fun Fact, the attorney representing Mr Awan (Chris Gowen) is a long time Clinton ally who worked for the Clinton Global Initiative. This reeks of cover-up and deflection.

From an article linked in that thread:

"Soon after Imran began working for Wasserman Schultz in 2005, his two brothers and two of their wives — plus Abbas and another friend — began appearing as IT staffers on the payrolls of other House Democrats. Collectively, the Awan group has been paid $4 million since 2009."

Sounds fishy. Until you pull out your calculator and figure they are talking about 6 individuals and 8 years worth of salaries for 6 people. They were each paid a scandalous $83,000+ a year.

Maybe there was something odd going on. But I work with Pakistanis and Indians where both spouses are in the IT field and working for the same employer so it's not unusual.

I still don't understand how they had time much less inclination to run car dealership on a side? How many IT people do that?

The car dealership was a front for laundering cash. There was no legit business activity going on (such as selling vehicles to the general public). This has already been investigated and reported on in depth months ago: https://www.google.com/amp/amp.dailycaller.com/2017/02/07/congress-it-probe-suspects-had-massive-debts-years-of-suspicious-activity/

I'm a democrat. If he was doing something illegal I hope it is identified and he's prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I hope that of all criminals.

It just goes to show how big-hearted and gracious DWS and the Clintons are: They have already forgiven him for his misdeeds against them/the Dems and want to help make sure he doesn't miss his vacation!

That DWS is incompetent is already known.

And it does not say anything at all about the Clintons. That someone who worked for DWS got a referral to a Dem lawyer is hardly surprising. You do realize its fully legal to represent someone who is accused of a crime.

Why did DWS fire Awan only AFTER he was arrested at Dulles on a trip to Pakistan (to see family) with a return flight (per the FBI affidavit) scheduled for January 2018?

Yes, the Clinton machine is good by all-in on some D-list family law and criminal defense attorney. What a shocking conspiracy! Yawn.

Statement on the Imran Awan Case

...

Mr. Awan’s family is presently staying with extended family in Pakistan because he and his wife were both abruptly and unjustly fired, leaving them without a reliable source of income to pay typical U.S. living expenses, and because extremist right-wing bloggers were beginning to harass them and their children—even going to their children’s schools. Mr. Awan has stayed in the U.S. to earn some income to manage this situation as best as possible. He attempted to travel this week to see his family for the first time in months. The government had been informed he would travel and had stated no objection. Yet on Monday night he was hastily arrested at Dulles airport.

...

This is misleading as it's written because Imran Awan was fired by DWS after his arrest, not before. And the rest of the press release is laughable.

He was fired by DWS after his arrest. He and his wife (who I don't believe was employed by DWS) also worked for others who fired them earlier.
