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.

Geeze. Their not free. Even here in US where there are honor killings an female gentile mutilation and sharia law.
>But why do Islamic women, when in a western country, still support Islam?
Same reason women the driving force behind letting refugees in:Most women prefer subjugation to freedom.
Being Christian, I especially am in opposition to gentile mutilation.
How do you know this?
Why do you think Trump would pick scum?
****
First, too many of the globalist congress critters like him, he had bipartisan (uniparty) support.
Then also listened to the answers he gave in testimony and read some facts regarding his connections, etc.
Wray is deep state entrenched. He might be able to be swayed, and become a patriot, but he may already be compromised.
Trump is not a politician and has listened to some around him who may not have had the best interests of the country in mind.
Trump is doing great, we just need to keep praying. He is up against many factions.
So?
I wasn't addressing wiretapping the citizens. I thought you were looking for details.
You wrote There are no details. Wray isn’t connected to Comey or McCabe. The gossip runs rampant in certain quarters.
I think any normal person who read the eff report would interpret Wray's willingness to fall on his shield for Comey as detail enough to believe some kind of connection existed.
Many of Trump’s nominees said some off things when questioned by the (puke) Senate. I took that as crap they had to say to get the Senators (puke) to “allow” them to be appointed.
I have not heard or read any solid evidence that McMaster is a globalist or whatever it is that people are hating him for. Maybe McMaster is bad, maybe not. But so far, all I read is circular “he’s bad he’s bad” illogic. And news sources that all hate Trump, as authorities.

we were talking about Wray, not McMaster.
Wray has been sworn in as the new FBI Director, done is done. Time will tell.
‘Wray’s willingness to fall on his shield for Comey’
This is from an alternate universe. In this reality, all Wray did was oppose warrantless wiretaps.
In the history of FBI Director candidates, only six nay votes have ever been cast.
Rand Paul voted nay on Comey.
The other five nays were against Wray.
Cite specific deep state connections, please. These baseless smears are unseemly.
The slimy ooze from the swamp covers all of the district of corruption. Too bad the Group of Pansies is so afraid to react to what is right under their noses. DISGUSTING!
If you’re talking about Wray, he’s spent the past 12 yrs in private practice. Most swamp creatures either spend their adult lives in political office [McConnell, Ryan, McCain, etc] public ‘service,’ [Comey, Mueller, etc] or manipulating the public sector [Soros].
Don’t know how you came up with Wray.
Certain posters on this thread have been claiming Wray is deep in the swamp. If your reply means you’re not one of them, that’s very good news.
My apologies! I was on antoher thread or two about McMaseters also being evil incarnate.
.....
I need a day off from “news”!
Completely agree. DJT needs to have his eye on, and a strategy for responding to the conspiring Mueller team bent on Trump’s destruction.
You better find your way out of that alternate universe then and recognize you raised the issue of a connection. It doesn't matter to me but it sounds like making up arguments is all you have to do. You getting paid for this?
Nothing new re the 3 Amigos against President Trump and his 62+ million voters.
They have been silencing our people for decades from inside the FBI and DOJ!
See my post 148. This manufactured ‘connection,’ is unworthy of anyone with two brain cells in their head. It’s a Trump-hater’s ruse, and nothing more.
(My post 148 preceded your ‘details,’ btw. You are belaboring a non-point, and who knows to what end? I’ve seen some stupid arguments, but none quite so ridiculous as this imagined ‘connection.’)

This will add fuel to the fire - as it should... Was Clapper or Brennan in on this?
