FBI agents suspect somebody in Congress tipped off the Awans that they would be indicted and now the criminal cases once-seemingly isolated to a group of rogue Pakistani IT specialists working for Congress suddenly has gotten much larger. And much more troubling.
Federal agents said preceding his arrest, Imran Awan acted like a man who was recently tipped off that he would be pinched and moreover, it was no coincidence Awan’s wife was whisked out of the country in March after sidestepping the FBI at Dulles International Airport to flee to Pakistan.
“She had cardboard boxes for luggage,” one FBI agent said. “The school didn’t even know she took her kids out.”
Now a faction of FBI veterans believe the couple’s puzzling behavior is explained by even more troubling revelations: Information about the Grand Jury convened to investigate Awan and his wife Hina Alvi for bank fraud and illicit money transfers was likely leaked to the Pakistani couple. Awan and Alvi were both former IT workers hired by Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Additionally, Imran and his wife — along with two brothers — performed IT and computer programming work for at least 18 more Democratic lawmakers in Congress. But it was Wasserman, the former chairwoman of the DNC, who kept the pair employed despite the booming criminal case.

derp!
Who do you think? Powerful Washington politicians with security clearances maybe?
[FBI agents suspect somebody in Congress tipped off the Awans that they would be indicted]
I would imagine it was a Democrat, if not, amazed I would be. /Yoda
In that case, I’ll suspect certain GOP Establishment hacks.
Arrest them for aiding and abetting, and for interference / obstruction. 10 years in prison ought to work and expulsion.
Keith Ellison?!?!
Do Clinton and her gang still have security clearance? I wouldn’t be surprised.
Nothing happening here folks. If there was serious damage to our country CNN, the NYT and Washington Post would be all over it 24/7.
Right.
Grand Jury proceedings are controlled by the US Attorneys, and when they involve congress people, the DOJ. Look for the connection somewhere in the department of justice above the USA level, my guess, whomever is in charge of public integrity or even higher like at the deputy attorney general level or over the at FBI like in whom was running the ship over there as in McCabe. Someone had a hook into the dems to pass on the warning.

The obvious suspect would be DWS.
It would be interesting to know who snatched up the properties so fast..........
Hmmmm, who could that be?.....................It’s such a mystery............................
Yes, very “puzzling.”
The leak probably allowed the wife to flee to Pakistan and Awan almost made it too, nabbed at the airport .
According to Andrew McCarthy at NRO, Awan's wife was detained by FBI agents at Dulles when she was leaving. She was interviewed. $12.5K (above legal limits) was found on her, hidden in various places of her luggage and her body. Yet - the FBI allowed her to leave. Why?
I recall Michelle Bachman being ridiculed for suggesting that many members of Congress did not work in the best interests of America. and that some where actively anti-American. She was laughed-off the stage.
Look to the Congress critter who had the most to lose by their being arrested...Debbie Blabber-Mouth Schultz, Gregory Meeks, or perhaps one of the other morons they worked for.
Still silence from the MSM and Drudge. Will this ever break?
The Democrat Party has sold out The United States.
Most of these details are public records so they are hard to dispute.
The only reason I can think of is the FBI did not want to tip the husband since they were not ready to arrest him.
