Let’s say you’re a prosecutor in Washington. You are investigating a husband and wife, naturalized Americans, who you believe have scammed a federal credit union out of nearly $300,000.
So . . . what’s the best evidence you could possibly have, the slam-dunk proof that their goal was to steal the money and never look back? That’s easy: One after the other, the wife and husband pulled up stakes and tried to high-tail it to Pakistan after they’d wired the funds there — the wife successfully fleeing, the husband nabbed as he was about to board his flight.
The indictment undertakes to describe in detail four counts of bank-fraud conspiracy, false statements on credit applications, and unlawful monetary transactions, yet leaves out the most damning evidence of guilt.
In fact, the indictment appears to go out of its way not to mention it.
To summarize, the indictment is an exercise in omission. No mention of the Awan group’s theft of information from Congress. Not a hint about the astronomical sums the family was paid, much of it for no-show “work.” Not a word about Wasserman Schultz’s keeping Awan on the payroll for six months during which (a) he was known to be under investigation, (b) his wife was known to have fled to Pakistan, and (c) he was not credentialed to do the IT work for which he had been hired. Nothing about Wasserman Schultz’s energetic efforts to prevent investigators from examining Awan’s laptop. A likely currency-transportation offense against Alvi goes uncharged. And, as for the offenses that are charged, prosecutors plead them in a manner that avoids any reference to what should be their best evidence.
There is something very strange going on here.

I hope no one is gullible enough to believe any of these people will be prosecuted.
There appear to be some traitors on the loose...especially in congress.
Hope they don't all commit suicide or die from heart attacks.

It appears that Mr. Awan accidentally shot himself 8 or 9 times in the back of the head, before dropping a barbell on his neck, and somehow managing to drive for some distance before the engine spontaneously jumped out of his car and it rammed a tree, bursting into flame and incinerating the body and the vehicle.
Fortunately, Mr. Awan’s wallet survived the impact with no damage, leaving incontrovertible evidence of the victim's identity.
The $300,000 Mr. Awan tried to transfer out of the U.S.A. has mysteriously disappeared. The State Department and Hillary Clinton pass along their condolences and prayers for the victim.

SCAM ONE---The missing govt-issue equipment tied to NY Cong Yvette Clarke’s office supposedly included many iPhones and iPads, an official told The Daily Caller reporter.
At $800 each, Cong Clarke's $120,000 write-off would pay for 150 electronic items. Yet, Cong Clarke's office, according to payroll records, has only 16 employees......why did Clarke need so many electronics for that small staff?
The govt-issue equipment would have been billed under Clarke's former chief of staff, there 2010 to February 11, 2016 (when another person took over).
The request for the $120,000 write-off came around the time of that staffing change. Cong Clarke's office refused to tell TheDCNF which person signed the form, and why they did not fire Abid at that time, or why they did not alert authorities (not reporting knowledge of a crime IS a crime).
The Daily Caller reported that Cong Yvette Clarke’s chief routinely called a House help desk to inquire about the write-off process but did not ever convey the highly unusual scale of the dollar figure, the official said.
NOTE: The missing $120,000 covers only Cong Yvette Clarke’s office. Democrats employing the Pakis have not been audited for similar patterns.......as yet.
===============================================
SCAM TWO---The Paki's are also suspected of orchestrating a second long-running fraud scheme that involved working with an employee of CDW Government Inc., one of the Hill’s largest technology providers.
The scam involved a plan to alter invoices so that Democrat members’ offices could purchase items in a manner that avoided triggering tracking by central House-wide administrators.
The result would be that no one outside the Democrat member's office would notice if the equipment disappeared.
Investigators suspect the goal of the scheme was to remove and sell the equipment outside of Congress.

TALKING POINTS demand NY Cong Clarke and CDW Government Inc, one of the Hill’s largest technology providers, be placed under immediate investigation.
McCarthy asks some pertinent questions, but I think he misread the indictment.
He questions the feb 28 date as the day after the conspiracy end date, but the indictment as always, contains weasel words
“...From on or about December 12,2016, through on or about February 27,2017,”
But on the whole, his questions about the why only these charges should be shouted ....
To indict these people on everything they were involved in would be to implicate and expose the deals of a lot of politicians.
Prosecutor is probably quivering in their boots to find something, ANYTHING, that wont piss off someone in Washington. They’ve probably already received hundreds of stern phone calls admonishing them of their responsibility to the stability of government. heh
It will be really sad when Imran Awan commits suicide in prison.
its common for such common thieves to beat themselves to death with a lead pipe, or shoot themselves in the back several times.
Anyway, once he kills himself, it will be a clear admission of guilt and case can be closed. I hope DWS is OK. The poor, kindhearted woman has been through so much anxiety caused by people she trusted.
Not a word of paying them 4x the going rate for an IT staffer in DC...
Asset
The accused was about to board a plane to Pakistan. Once in custody the federal government has 48 hours to file charges or let him go. These were probably the charges they think they can win in court right now. Others may be coming as their investigation proceeds.
Let’s keep in mind an important point......all this occurred at the same time Hillary was considered a shoo-in for president.
Everyone involved acted w/ certainty: that the games could go on when Hillary was ensconced in the Oval Office.
Not a word of paying them 4x the going rate for an IT staffer in DC...
Seems to me the payer should be charged for this one, not the one paid.
I think that’s why the original criminal complaint & arrest warrant of bank fraud and the related affidavit was hastily gotten.
Though it seems, Awan and his wife could have both been stopped for each having 10 grand on them.
This thing is being played way too low key...
There appear to have been two or more streams of documents from the DNC and the Hillary campaign. It seems Seth Rich was one of the sources. Could the Awans be another?
Reminds me of the 1992 House Banking Scandal. A couple Congressmen and at least one House employee got felonies while a bunch of Congressmen got off without prosecution.
Great question TBP ;)
I can think of a couple of ways to find out Paki sympathizers/lobbyists/bad hombres in DC - 1. Find out all winners of Md Ali Jinnah Award and you have your starting list
2. Find everyone who has posted in favor of the Pakistani govt or Army and has propagandize do on their behalf (especially after 911 and Pres Trump’s election)
Can you think of any more?
“Not a word of paying them 4x the going rate for an IT staffer in DC...”
I’m sure they were paid the appropriate rate for whatever they were actually hired to do.
