Ranking Democrats no strangers to criminal investigations; DNC Debbie's Pakistani "advisor" flees US

After her embarrassing resignation from her high-profile position as DNC chair, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz hid from the spotlight for months. However, she's being forced back into the spotlight, once again, linked to a corruption scandal involving a massive breach of US intel by Pakistani nationals. Schultz facilitated the Pakistanis getting security clearances. They were gainfully employed by about thirty members. Politico reported on February 6, 2017 that Imran Awan, who is currently employed by Wasserman Schultz as an "advisor", is under criminal investigation for “wide-range equipment and data theft.” Wasserman Schultz’s Congressional communications director provided Politico with very few details into the investigation and refused to answer any followup questions. Relatives of Awan—including Hina Alvi, Abid Awan and Jamal Awan—are implicated in the investigation as well. Hina Alvi is currently employed by Rep. Gregory Meeks.

“Five Pakistani House IT staffers are accused of stealing government equipment from House members’ offices without their knowledge and committing serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network, according to multiple sources briefed on the investigation,” Politico reported. Significantly Politico noted that no one on Capitol Hill that they contacted provided any information. (NOTE this has led to suspicious that the Pakistani nationals are blackmailing Congressional staffs that employed them into remaining silent---or face embarrassing disclosures.) The Daily Caller reported on February 4, 2017 that the accused Pakistanis allegedly accessed congressional computers without permission. It’s unclear what data was stolen and what the motive for the breach was (and the extent to which US security secrets were passed onto Pakistan....a country the US considers to be a sponsor of terrorism).

The Democratic Party is no stranger to criminal investigations.

<><> When Hillary Clinton was the Democratic nominee for the presidency, she was under an FBI investigation for using a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state. Critics suspect that she never set up a State.gov email in order to circumvent laws in the Freedom of Information Act about keeping records.

<><> The Clinton Foundation was also under investigation during Clinton’s presidential campaign.

<><> Additionally, hacked emails from the DNC and Clinton campaign manager John Podesta exposed collusion between the “neutral” DNC, the Clinton campaign, and several mainstream media journalists. This particular scandal resulted in then-DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz and several other DNC staff members resigning from their positions.

<><> DNC interim chair Donna Brazile was fired by CNN after the leaked emails revealed that helped the Clinton campaign cheat before debates hosted by CNN.

<><> A class action lawsuit against Wasserman Schultz and the DNC for violating Section 5 Article 4 of the DNC Charter is still pending.

<><> In 2016, Rep. Chaka Fattah was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison for money laundering, bribery and fraud. Fattah was indicted in 2014, but he continued to serve in Congress until his conviction.

<><> After serving 10 terms in Congress, Rep. Corinne Brown lost her re-election bid due to being indicted in July 2016 for allegedly using a charity as a slush fund. The Washington Post reported that Brown blamed the Orlando shooting on the Department of Justice because they spent too much time investigating her.

<><> Even though he was indicted in 2015 on corruption charges, Sen. Bob Menendez continues to serve in the Senate.

<><> In June 2016, a formal ethics probe investigated Gov. Dannel Malloy’s appointment of former Cigna lobbyist Katharine Wade to a position in which she would oversee a proposed merger between Cigna and Anthem, which would be the largest health insurance company merger in the country. Two weeks into the probe, IBTimes reported Gov. Malloy “slashed the budgets of watchdog agencies that enforce ethics, campaign finance and open records laws.” Wade ultimately recused herself from the position.

<><>In September 2016, Gov. Andrew Cuomo was the subject of a federal corruption probe that resulted in the conviction of two of this former aides and six other people.

<><> In May 2016, CNN reported that the FBI was investigating Gov. Terry McAuliffe for a $120,000 campaign donation from a Chinese billionaire. In October 2016, the Wall Street Journal reported that Gov. McAuliffe donated nearly half a million dollars to the campaign of a wife of a top FBI Director—who was overseeing the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server—to run for State Senate in Virginia.

Because the Democratic Party is rife with corporate and wealthy influence, corruption investigations have become the norm. The party continues to embrace corruption as it coalesces around Hillary Clinton and her minion Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who are both magnets for corruption and dirty politics.

[hardspunned]

As usual nothing happens.

[bert]

Meanwhile, current investigations into Democrat corruption are proceeding in an especially secret manner

[Liz]

Nothing happens when the Democrats control the levers of justice.......nothing new about that.

[pepsionice]

My question is....did the five guys have permanent green-cards, and if so...how did they apply and get them?

There’s a lot left out of this story. There has to be some lobbyist who injected cash into someone’s campaign...to get them hired up to this type of position....way more than just $100k. Makes you wonder what the eventual aim or goal of this operation was.

[House Atreides]

Why repost this February article? I guess the reposting could serve as a reminder that nothing ever happens to most ‘RATS involved in nefarious and criminal activities.

[ronnie raygun]

I blame the GOP for not stepping up to the plate and going after all these enemies of the American people, which only proves they are accomplices. Hearing after hearing and nothing, nothing! We all know who the guilty are and so does the GOP but they refuse to act. WE MUST HELP THEM ACT by throwing them out of office

[silverleaf]

Wth doesnt a republican with gonads hire a “ special counsel” on this?
Give the democrat media something real to talk about

[Liz]

There's so much to investigate. For example:

Dumb Debbie Vasserman Schultz seems to have stepped in it bigtime.

<><> DNC Debbie single-handedly aided and abetted the Awan clan's massive breach of US security on Capitol Hill....in more ways than one.

<><> Significantly DNC Debbie facilitated the clan getting security clearances. Never did it enter stupid Debbie's braindead mind that Muslim Pakistani nationals were more than office help?

<><>At the DNC, Schultz masterminded the clan's remuneration package----making sure they got paid handsomely---pocketing some 5 million tax dollars as they toiled to undermine Americans' safety and security.

<><> The clan's grotesque compensation package under Schultz's DNC leadership is certainly suspicious. Might involve wire-transfer fraud, mail fraud, theft, kickbacks, money laundering and tax evasion.

<><> Schultz's former IT staffer is still listed as her "advisor."

<><> The Pakistani nationals under scrutiny by Capitol Police have since fled the country.

<><> More egregiously, the Pakistanis' ability to get State Dept visas while under criminal scrutiny is a subject of speculation.....and may involve then-Secy Hillary Clinton and then-Pres Obama.

[VRW Conspirator]

Wake me up when there is an indictment.

[Liz]

FACTS ON FILE Cong Debbie Vasserman Schultz's "IT advisor" is a VIP in Pakistan. In Pakistan, Imran Awan introduces himself as "from the US Congress" or from federal agencies.

The Pakistan govt apparently considers Imran very important b/c of his representations about his political power in the US. Imran travels in Pakistan with a VIP police escort.

=====================================================

This could be very easy to unravel. Pres Trump, AG Sessions, and Rex Tillerson need to call in the Pakistani Ambassador for a "little chat." The Pakistani Ambassador surely knows what important issus Imran is "advising" Cong Debbie about.

Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414

========================================

(HAT TIP BOOKSHELF) Here’s how to handle it:

<><> About half of House Republicans have signed a letter urging we cut off all aid to Pakistan. They consider it a terrorist-sponsoring nation.

<><> T-Rex calls in the Paki Ambassador, and speaking privately. gives him one week to show up with Wasserman-Schultz’s Haki/Pakis.

<><> Either that or State will support adding Pak to terrorist list.

<><> When the Haki/Pakis appear in his office (as they surely would), T-Rex turns them over to Justice (not the FBI).

<><>Attny Gen then oversees the case and the FBI is given a time certain to provide evidence so they can't Mafia it out.

[Liz]

Nice catch.

[DrDude]

Did they charge anyone in the IT Scandal? Even when caught “redhanded” Libs never get punished. They buy their way out.

[saywhatagain]

enjoy the long sleep

It is good to keep this story alive and in the public eye.
Recent developments have come into the investigation that imply the Awan brothers are involved in shipping.

Your tagger nails it but good....get rid of anything that smells of Obama or Clinton. All of it needs immediate prosecutions. But we need to bear in mind that AG Sessions may have bigger fish to fry. Read on.

FBI, DOJ Raid Huma Abedin Brother and Sisters Home
Jody Rossell ^ | 06/03/17 / FR Posted by Enlightened1

On June 1, 2017 a raid took place in a home in the 7200 Block of Jonathon Street in Dearborn, Michigan which is owned by a “shell company,” turns out it’s actually owned by Huma Abedin’s brother and sister. This shell company is the Journal of Muslim Affairs. Important to note, Huma worked as an Assistant Editor for this company at one time.

Several FBI and DOJ officers left Washington enroute to Dearborn……convoys of cars descended on the home located at 7246 Jonathon Street, assisted by other law enforcement officers from neighboring locals.

During the Clinton campaign last summer, if you recall, we didn’t see Huma Abedin for awhile, she had apparently made a trip to Dearborn, Michigan. A few months before she left to visit her brother, Hassan Abedin’s home in Dearborn, she was interviewed by the FBI about Hillary Clinton’s lost emails. Upon Abedin’s testimony to the FBI, it is reported that a laptop containing an archived copy, along with a thumb drive, were lost in the mail.

Apparently after it was reported that Huma and Anthony Weiner would be getting a divorce shortly after Weiner was convicted in May, the story takes a different turn, they moved back into their home in New York City. Hmmm, this begs the question, is Weiner still going to prison?

Only 24 hours after the Weiner’s moved back into their home the Raid in Dearborn took place. It is assumed that when Huma left during Hillary’s campaign last summer, she made that secret trip to Dearborn to hide the archived copies of the missing emails. Events now are falling into place.

More at FR.

I'm betting this is also on AG Sessions' list of THINGS TO DO RIGHT NOW.

=====================================

As you may have read---the divorce is off and Anthony's moving back in. I guess Huma needs to keep Anthony close-by to keep his mouth zipped (not his pants).

Anthony might spill the beans about Huma's endless line of cousins dipping into Hillary's State Dept 's numerous slush funds...... the cousins becoming millionaires sucking up our tax dollars.

Also has A LOT to do w/ Huma's having the wherewithal to pay a pricey 12,000 monthly rental.....w/ her cut of the cousins' millions.

=========================================

REFERENCE----This'll give you nightmares, people.....counting up the endless line of Huma's cousins w/ their greedy Muslim hands in the State Dept cookie jar.

UNDER HOUSE ARREST---This smirking creep is Huma's first cousin AKA a serial swindler
He subsidized businesses w/ our tax dollars looted from Hillary's State Dept. He made six million dollars vanish.

EXCERPT--“Thanks for getting in touch. Would love to arrange a meeting,” Huma Abedin replied in a June 23, 2009, email to her cousin Omar Amanat and Shamil Idriss, who heads New York-based Soliya Inc.

In May 2010, then-Secy Clinton helped Soliya get access to U.N. funding by making the U.S. a participant in a U.N. high-tech media initiative called the Alliance of Civilizations. Then in October 2010, the State Department directly awarded Soliya $1.25 million for a media technology project. “Huma helped Omar make KIT appear more valuable because of its association with the Alliance of Civilizations, which was approved by Hillary and funded in part by U.S. grants (tax dollars),” said an attorney familiar with the case.

“This helped Omar raise money for KIT, which he and his brother misappropriated for other purposes. Approximately $6 million has vanished.”

Amanat took KIT Digital public in August 2009. At the time, Amanat, known as a “serial swindler,” was in personal bankruptcy and being sued by other investors. Despite his reputation, he still managed to gain special access to US government tax dollars thanks to his ties to his well-positioned cousin and the Clinton Foundation.

THE MONEY LAUNDRY Records show that Omar Amanat and several other Abedin family members and related charities have together donated as much as $1.2 million to the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative, as well as the Clinton Health Access Initiative.

Omar Amanat, Abedin's cousin, who personally contributed as much as $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation, was appointed to the Council on Foreign Relations during the time that Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary of state.

While the FBI has apparently closed its espionage investigation into Clinton’s unsecured private email server (the House has reopened it), its public corruption investigation into the Clinton Foundation remains open.

It’s not clear if this still-active probe overlaps with the Amanat fraud investigation. However, investigators reportedly continue to look into alleged “pay-for-play” schemes involving the Clinton State Department and the Clinton Foundation and its wealthy donors, as well as entities that paid the Clintons millions of dollars in speaking fees.

Judicial Watch and other government watchdog groups have charged that the Clinton Foundation was a pay-for-play operation that rewarded its benefactors with State Department favors. And tax dollars....all you could possible want.

[Geronimo]

This was published in Jared Kushner’s Observer 3 weeks after his father-in-law’s Innauguration and since then has never generated more than 2 articles in the MSM...the NY Post & Fox News online...

98% of the American people are completely unaware of this story and the gravity of the issues it raises...bias by omission is bias by commission...to take back our country we need to destroy the old media...they are the enemy of truth and justice...

[Liz]

The Pakistani clan took over Capitol Hill.....they are probably involved in countless scams and schemes.....aided and abetted by clueless House members.

It never connected to the empty space in DNC Debbie’s head that the Pakistani nationals were not just low-level office help?
