Pictured, the Democratic IT aide charged with fraud in Congress... ´hacking´ scandal
The Daily Mail ^ | 8-23-17 | Alana Goodman & Shekhar Bhatia

This is the Capitol Hill IT aide suspected of stealing congressional data - pictured at home for the first time since he was arrested on bank fraud charges at a Virginia airport while attempting to flee to Pakistan, in an exclusive DailyMail.com photo.

Imran Awan, the former computer administrator who worked for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and scores of other Democrats, is currently on bail. 

He is under a high-intensity supervision program and must wear a monitoring device and stay within 50 miles of his house.

The 37-year-old was spotted looking relaxed in a casual white tee shirt and earbuds, after getting out of a blue Mitsubishi outside his home in northern Virginia. Imran and his family members - including his wife, who is also indicted - ran IT for at least 60 Democrats in congress over the past decade and for the House Democratic Caucus, giving them access to emails and computer data from an estimated 800 lawmakers and staffers.

Now they are at the center of a probe into what happened to the data they had access to - and

'There are possibilities that [Imran] or them might have been selling this information to anybody who is not authorized to have them.'

The group was blocked from accessing the House computer network in February, after police began investigating them for potential data and equipment theft, including suspicions that they transferred data to an off-site server.

hmmm.....released to house arrest, then his photos widely circulated on the internet.

Sounds like a set-up for Arkancide to me.

Why shouldn't he be relaxed. I hear DWS's brother is leading the prosecution against him.

I suspect the FBI surveillance teams have much better photos of him.

Thanks for posting this. Interesting that we find out more about IT gate from UK newspapers instead of ours.

Employer: Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is no stranger to controversy, employed Imran Awan at the same time as her chairmanship of the DNC ended in catastrophe, with leaked emails revealing how she aided Hillary Clinton instead of being neutral. Awan had password access to her phone and iPad!

EXCERPT--Business associates described Imran's younger brother, Abid, as a flashy dresser who always seemed to have money and would drop thousands of dollars at DC nightclubs.

'Abid would spend $3,000 or $4,000 a night, at DC nightclubs' said Ajmad Khan, a former business partner. 'Abid would say, I work for the government, I don't care. I have a $120,000 job and my wife is working, my brother's working, this one's working, that one's working.' Abid married a blonde Russian named Natalia Sova, also an IT, described as 'a good looking young Russian girl.'

Abid, Sova, (as did Imran and the rest of the Paki clan), worked exclusively for Democrats---Abid IT'ed Democrats Reps. Gregory Meeks and Ron Barber. Abid's Russian wife, Sova, obtained IT jobs, working for Reps. Ted Deutch, Emanuel Cleaver, and other Democrat members.

UPDATE: Abid, Imran's brother, has retained an attorney specializing in money laundering litigation.Abid has hired high-profile attorney James Bacon who specializes in money laundering litigation.

CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER Abid is on the WH visitor’s check-in list. Abid spent seven hours in the WH........”no one knows why” Obama wanted an IT tech to spend all that time in the WH (smirk). (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ..

Immediately after being dumped from the DNC for fixing the primary for Hillary,
Debbie was given a position in Hillary Clinton’s 2016 failed campaign for President.
