Former Prosecutor: The Feds' Bizarre Indictment Against Arrested DWS Staffers Omits Major Facts
Townhall ^ | Aug 23, 2017 | Guy Benson

Posted on 08/23/2017 2:55:16 PM PDT by detective

Yesterday, we wrote about new developments in an exceptionally strange case involving a circle of former IT staffers for House Democrats who are caught up in a federal criminal investigation.  We noted that the New York Post's sources say that the FBI is now looking into whether the Awan cabal may have sold off sensitive data collected from the House servers they maintained to foreign intelligence services in Islamabad, Moscow, and potentially elsewhere.  Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy, whose summary of bizarre imbroglio mess we linked, knows a thing or two about how federal indictments work.  He's the man who successfully prosecuted the mastermind of the first World Trade Center bombing (who recently died in prison).  McCarthy managed to track down the indictment in this case, which he says only raises more questions.  He leads with a not-so-hypothetical scenario, drawing on his vast experience as a prosecutor:

"Why on earth did Awan and his wife remain on Debbie Wasserman Schultz's payroll for months after they were fired by other Democrats?  They were understandably dismissed by most lawmakers once it was revealed that they were the subjects of a federal probe into criminal fraud, having allegedly swindled taxpayers out of hundreds of thousands of dollars through a bogus procurement scheme."

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.

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

A PAKI SCAM UP-CLOSE----NY House Democrat CONG YVETTE CLARKE’s OFFICE
Approved $120k Write-off OF TECH Equipment Linked To Awan Brothers

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 The Daily Caller 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.

Probably the same reason why Chief Justice Roberts voted the way he did.

A LTTLE JUICY GOSSIP YOU MIGHT ENJOY: 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 a Congressional 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 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 ..

Sounds like a Muslim spy ring that included Democrat Members of Congress colluding with the enemies of America.

I am afraid that if the truth were ever told, the Justice Dept would have to indict and likely send to jail way too man elected officials and their staffs,

If a tenth of all the Congressional Democrats suddenly were in jail and/if many of their staff were sent to jail, the Deep State would be so disrupted that it would have a hard time functioning.

We have seen recently (DOJ meeting with Bill on an airport tarmac, then instructing FBI to let Hillary go) that the Deep State will not go after other Deep State royalty. This is the same FBI and Justice Dept that looks the other way.

Why did she eat the $120,000? She is the new member (low person on the totem pole) and it was Anthony Weiner’s district.
