House Dems’ IT Administrator A Charming, ‘Cunning’ Con Artist, Associates Say (Awan)
Daily Caller ^ | July 15 2017 | Luke Rosiak

Posted on 07/16/2017 6:32:35 AM PDT by Whenifhow

A Pakistani-born House IT administrator suspected of misusing access to congressional files is a charming, dishonest manipulator with an unquenchable thirst for money, a dozen people who know him personally said in interviews with The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.

Relatives said that Imran Awan had such a penchant for taking advantage of people that his stepmother called the police and accused him of extortion, while his father changed his last name so he wouldn’t share it with his son.

Awan had full access to the emails and files of dozens of members of Congress, and is the target of a Capitol Police criminal investigation into, as Politico described it, “committing serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network.”

However, members of Congress have not treated the situation as a potential security breach, instead saying that they trust Imran and do not think he would sell their data or use it for nefarious purposes like blackmail.

Among almost every person interviewed by TheDCNF, those who know him — including close relatives — described Imran as a savvy person and a calculating tactician who had tried to scam them.

In one example of that, he filmed a bizarre video — viewable below — of his father signing a financial document that he correctly anticipated would become subject of fraud allegations. He flaunted his supposed power in government, many said.

“He’s a very charming guy, charismatic, you’d like him,” said one person who rents a house from Imran. “He’s brilliant, knowledgeable about everything.” The family owns multiple real estate assets, but renters said Imran wanted rental payments in cash.

Surely the IRS would be interested in this. /sarc

I've always said "beware of the happy paki". The vermin from that part of the world will smile and nod and act like they're your best friend, all the while pulling out the knife—literal or figurative— to cut your throat. I would never trust one in business or personal affairs. They don't know the Western meaning of "honor". And that goes for their Indian cousins too.

Politico described Democratic Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida and Gregory Meeks of New York as having a “friendly personal relationship” with Imran and his wife. Meeks said he saw no evidence of anything “nefarious,” and Wasserman Schultz refused to fire him even though the House Sergeant-at-Arms has banned him from the network.

Wasserman is being blackmailed. Wasserman is dirty and Awan has the proof!

I also noticed how the article avoided any mention of the Awan brothers possible espionage and criminality.

Awan is on the DNC/Clinton schedule for elimination. Likely suicide/accident/robbery coming soon...

I suspect these would be important attributes for most spies...just think of how smooth the fictional James Bond was. Getting people to trust you is a con man’s stock-in-trade, and once you have their trust you can rob them blind as a spy.

Of course not, then there might be an eye onto others that were complicit.

I know, I know, one can dream

Wouldn’t Sessions be interested in this? No idea. Hasn’t shown his hand and/or if he is even in the game. Dems keep calling his hand and he keeps folding.

POINTS TO PONDER The clan accumulated a hefty 5 million US tax dollars (that we know of) but the absence of signs of wealth among them raise questions such as (a) was the money sent overseas, (B) were kickbacks to Dems involved, (c) or did something other than paychecks motivate their actions?

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

The Daily Caller News foundation interviewed multiple current and former tenants who said Imran insisted rent be paid in untraceable ways. Many of those TheDCNF interviewed about the Awans asked not to be identified for fear of suffering retaliation by the family, particularly renters to whose homes Imran has keys.

“He only wants cash — for the security deposit, everything. The mortgage is probably $600, we pay $1,800 a month,” one said.

Cristal Perpignan, a former Awan renter, said Imran instructed her to pay the rent to Imran’s friend, Rao Abbas, a US govt employee, who lived in the basement of the home she occupied at the same time he was on the House payroll as an IT worker. Perpignan said Abbas spent his days at home.

Imran’s wife purchased the home in 2008 for $470,000. A second mortgage was taken out in 2012, and — at least on paper — it was sold to Imran’s 22-year old brother Jamal in November 2016 for $620,000 — $43,000 more than its assessed value.

All but five percent of Jamal’s purchase, $589,000, was financed by the bank, according to records reviewed by TheDCNF. This means the transaction netted the family $119,000 of the bank’s money even as the house remained a rental property, without the ownership ever leaving the family.

According to Wells Fargo Bank, people can’t use a standard mortgage for a rental property. The bank must be told of the intent to use the property as a rental, and the applicant generally is required to make a 20 percent down payment. There are no notes in property records that it was not an arms-length sale.

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

POINTS TO PONDER: Was the clan's humongous salaries and other financial sleight of hand (that is missing) used to:

<><> payoff Debbie Wassermann Schultz

<><> other democrats.....

<><> Democrat campaign donations,

<><> Democrat kickbacks, payoffs for supplying classified intel, and the like.

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

Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz seems to have lost all sense of history; her short-term memory and her long-term memory appear to be defunct.

<><> 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.
