This week, Imran Awan, one of a trio of brothers hired by the Democratic National Committee to handle the computers and other devices used by key Democrats on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence was arrested trying to flee the country. News of the arrest prompted former DNC chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (Fla) to fire Awan, but she warned investigators there would be "consequences" if the laptop seized from him by police was not promptly returned to her. "The lap top is mine. I am a member of congress. I have immunity from prosecution."
Despite her assertion of immunity, Wasserman-Shultz is reportedly in a state of high anxiety over "this unprecedented persecution" and is said to have complained to friends that "We followed all the normal security procedures. We smashed the devices. We deleted the emails. We threatened the police to back off. We did everything Hillary did, but I'm still under the gun. The double-standard I'm seeing here is so unfair."
Former prosecutor and Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), observed that "smashing devices and deleting emails rarely erases all evidence of criminal activities. Anyone who has watched the TV show 'Forensic Files' knows that investigators have been able to recover content from 'destroyed devices' and 'erased files' that has led to the conviction of numerous murderers and other felons."
Gowdy also suggested that "the recent arrest of Mr. Awan also sheds a more sinister light on Rep. Wasserman-Schultz's remarks about cutting the budget of the DC Police. What might ordinarily be merely a fiscal issue starts to look like extortion when coupled with a demand that a certain line of inquiry ought to be discontinued."
The DC Police have been unsuccessfully "investigating" the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich for more than a year. Rich, a Bernie Sanders supporter, is suspected of being the person who sent DNC emails exposing how Wasserman-Schultz worked to rig the Democratic primary election for Hillary Clinton to Wikileaks.
Meanwhile, Awan's attorney blamed "Islamophobia" for the arrest of his client. "We are asserting the affirmative defense that since Mr. Awan was acting under the direction of a member of congress her immunity covers any and all crimes he may have committed at her behest. Should this defense be rejected we will be pleading 'cultural ignorance.' In Mr. Awan's native land, what American law may regard as illegal is allowed under the traditional practice of baksheesh. Mr. Awan was the subordinate of a powerful American governmental official. He should not be held criminally liable for accepting money to do as he was told by a person who he trusted to know American law."

No need to stretch the true or ‘invent’ things. The reality of what the Dems have done or are doing is bad enough.
Imran Awan got a lot of money, a lot. He knew who killed Seth so he blackmailed the DNC and other congressional members they worked for, either pay up in untraceable cash or he outs them. He sent copies to his Moslem friends as insurance.
