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.

IMHO Hannity has been hitting the Awan story pretty hard on the both his radio and TV show.
Traitors. Special counsel?? Congressional investigation??
In some ways it is worse, because we had an election to change it.
They seem intent on nullifying the attempt of the citizens to keep their country.
Trump didn’t appoint McCabe.
Maybe you have to keep asking because people wonder why you can’t do a simple search and learn for yourself how/why McCabe ended up where he is.
This is the same thing that happened when VM Varga was detained by DHS. Let this be part of the investigation I called for earlier:
If firing Mueller would cause a huge mess, how about an end run around him?
Have Sessions appoint Special Counsel Larry Klayman to investigate the Hillary scandals, Comey and deep state leaks, Awan espionage and Seth Rich murder. Give him broad leeway to investigate deep state conspiracies against the President, which are attacks on our Constitution, and those will lead to an investigation of the Mueller/Comey axis and the Mueller investigation itself. Check mate!
WHAT??? They helped her get out of the country with $12 K of undeclared money? Why are Muslims exempt from our laws? This demands a congressional hearing.
I believe he was next in line...not an appointment.
If you can’t trust the FBI, who CAN you trust?
Please send the story to Jay Sekulow’s program:

First, demand Pakistan return all of them immediately.
Next, freeze all Pakistany assets in the USA until their return
Finally, closed all flights to/from the Pakistan originating in the usa.
Well, we’re waiting!
This is what a corrupt government cover-up looks like.
Yes, EXACTLY what a corrupt govt cover up looks like.
The entire swamp is corrupt.
God help Pres Trump help us!!!
The time to demand another Special Prosecuter has arrived......
Obviously, ‘McCabe is a protector of the Awan group’.......Perfect reason for the President to FIRE HIM
Comey and his Deep State FBI thugs probably bought the plane tickets, so she could leave the states and disappear.
I smell democrat collusion with the foreign government of Pakistan...
McCabe needs to be questioned about this in open hearings. If he cannot come up with a good answer (and I cannot imagine one), then he should be immediately dismissed.
Sounds to me that Comey and McCabe were loyal fixers for the rat party...dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
Sessions better have all those rats under surveillance including Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton.
There’s another article out there about the Treasury spying on Trump.
anyone know what this is?

Great idea.....why hasn’t President Trump fired McCabe & replaced him with Tom Fenton already? ......or, at least added Tom to his legal staff?
