Alvi Awan was suspected of helping swindle $283,000 from banks and was busted carrying over $12,400 in undocumented cash when the FBI caught up with her at Dulles International Airport in March.
But incredibly Awan — the wife of Imran Awan, the IT specialist and con man employed by Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was arrested last week for bank fraud — was never detained or forced to stay in the United States. Her arrest in fact was blocked by then-FBI Director James Comey and then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, FBI sources said.
So federal agents and Capitol Police watched as the former Democratic congressional aide and suspected bank fraudster stepped onto Qatar Air1ines Flight 708 to Doha, Qatar, on her way to Lahore, Pakistan with her three daughters, bulging luggage and $12,400 in undocumented cash — a federal crime in itself. Awan had essentially been given a license to disappear from the clutches of US law enforcement, never likely to return to the United States. She was in the wind, courtesy of the FBI.
“This was a call from the top, Comey and McCabe,” a well-placed FBI agent said. “Anyone else would have been held and with that cash she didn’t declare she could have been locked up. The agents at Dulles wanted to hold her but they were told to stand down.”
Comey has since been fired and McCabe currently is Acting FBI Director until the new FBI director is sworn in.
The lead FBI case agent at Dulles was Brandon Merriman who has been on the job for a little more than a year and was investigating Imran and Alvi Awan’s bank schemes. FBI sources said he did not have the political juice to plead for Awan’s arrest and as an agent, there is little he could have done to keep Awan in the states since his bosses decided to put her in the wind. Merriman also put together the arrest warrant for Imran Awan in July. A portion of that warrant is included below where the FBI agent acknowledged he knew that when Alvi Awan stepped onto that flight she would never return to the United States.
So why then did the FBI put her in the wind?
If the FBI wanted to explore and build a criminal case against Wasserman Schultz, the former DNC chairwoman and Clinton consigliere, and even firm up the case against Imran Awan, holding leverage over Alvi and Imran Awan would make more than good sense. So the release of Alvi back to Pakistan — essentially a US law enforcement no-go zone — speaks volumes about the FBI brass wanting to protect Wasserman Schultz and essentially her long-time mentor Hillary Clinton.
“When you have a guy’s wife locked up and you’re looking at the husband, you have leverage to get him to cooperate,” a FBI insider said. “This is really great leverage and it wasn’t even put into play.”
If this was simply a bank fraud case, Alvi Awan would still be in the United States and her husband would have been locked up long before July. FBI sources said they had sufficient evidence of bank fraud in December 2016 yet no arrest warrants were filed until July. There is little doubt the Awans were being protected by FBI bosses, federal law enforcement sources said.
For instance, it is a felony to export more than $10,000 from the United States absent filing a currency transportation report. FBI sources said Alvi Awan did not file the report. Yet she was allowed to leave the country anyway. And with the cash and the FBI’s explicit knowledge she defrauded at least two financial institutions.
As a sidebar, Alvi Awan would also have served as a key witness in the emerging case building against Wasserman Schultz, the DNC, and what role Hillary Clinton played into the emerging labyrinth of Awan-related security breaches.

I heard the reference Webb made to it in that video but found nothing - even after checking 0Hour1, Luke Rosiak, Thomas Paine and Webb's TruthLeaks twitter feeds.
That is a question I have been asking around here for weeks. I wanted him gone before the inauguration. Also, I don’t know why Rosenstein is still there. He’s obviously a plant from the Bush wing of the Deep State, working with another plant, Mueller, to get Trump.
‘Also, I don’t know why Rosenstein is still there.’
Rosenstein is there because Sessions lobbied for him. Simple as that.
Muslim wives are always allowed to escape. The other one was the wife of the nightclub shooter, Mateen.
And what info was she carrying?

Charge Comkey and McCabe as Conspirators to Money Laundering.
This whole thing stinks to highheaven, LOCK THEM ALL UP

Thanks for checking on it. Maybe they will talk about it tonight.
Wasn’t George fired up! Wow!
[And what info was she carrying?]
Good question!
No, that’s not why he is there. Sessions’ confirmation took a week or two, and while he was waiting, that Obama holdover was still doing damage. They appointed Rosenstein, and since he was in the Obama Administration as US attorney for Baltimore I think it was, he could just move straight over to DOJ. Not sure if he required confirmation, but he started serving right away. It made sense at the time, but then Sessions recused himself and then Rosenstein revealed himself to be a plant. Firing him for appointing Mueller would have led to a firestorm, but at this point, it may make things better. Rosenstein is the guy who provided the reasons for firing Comey, yet he appointed Mueller because Trump fired Comey. It was a setup, and people who support Trump see that.
I don’t think Rosenstein is Sessions’ fault. That he is still there, maybe.
The punishment for Treason

Breitbart reports otherwise:
‘Sessions was reported to have played a significant role in the selection of Rosenstein by President Donald Trump for this important position. Speaking to a business group Monday, Sessions emphasized the centrality of the Deputy AG position to the effective functioning of the Justice Department and expressed his excitement at Rosenstein’s imminent arrival at DOJ. “That’s the central person in your team,” Sessions said, “Virtually all departments report to the deputy, who manages the department. It’s a powerful position.”’
Where is AG?
Trump nominated Rosenstein, the Senate confirmed. I don’t know who (if anyone) advised Trump.

Where is AG Sessions on this?? I agree!
Looks like Treason, Corruption, Obstruction of Justice among other things...and where is AG Sessions on this??
That means the whole family is ISI and possibly CIA coverts or have wrangled some sort of diplomatic cover. Anything short of that would not cover Comey or McCabe when the shj!t starts hitting the fan. Which they knew would happen since this was post election, Trump was already in.
They had to know sooner or later this would come back to bite them so they had to have had some sort of cover. We just don't know what it is.
> Sessions was reported to have played a significant role in the selection of Rosenstein by President Donald Trump for this important position.
Too bad Breitbart doesn’t source that. Sessions may have just been happy that the position was filled. I don’t know.
Sessions needs to quit playing small ball. Gigantic crimes have been committed. This is not the time for run of the mill issues.
Some really good.
Then you start doing in-depth and really digging,taking a hard look at who they worked for and you discover that everyone of the above are crooked and most likely deep state. It does not show at first but the more you dig the more you come up with it.
Same thing may have happened to Trump. He hasn't been in big league politics that long as well.
Remember the left has had 40 years to load the swamp with gators and they have really done a job.
I wonder if Hannity has had George Webb and Jason Goodman on his show yet? If not he’s missing out on a huge trough of intel and info that they have come up with.
