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.

Thank you for informing me. I don’t often get to watch/listen.

There is a longtime and incestuous relationship between the fixers who have been tasked with taking down President Trump, under the fake narrative of enforcing the law. James Comey worked in the DOJ directly under Mueller until 2005. Rod Rosenstein and Mueller go even further back.
James Comey wasn’t just some associate of Mueller back then, but rather his protégé. Under the George W. Bush presidency, when Comey was serving as Deputy Attorney General under John Ashcroft, Robert Mueller was Comey’s go-to guy when he needed help.
We look back at Rod’s loyal work for Hillary Clinton, when he became a clean-up man for the Clinton Administration as an Associate Independent Counsel from 1995 until 1997. He supervised the investigation that found no basis for criminal prosecution of White House officials who had obtained classified FBI background reports. He did a great job covering for the Team Bill Clinton, including covering for Hillary, as she was one of the people who had access to the reports, and may have even requested them. Convenient for the Clintons, no indictments were filed.
Having proven his loyalty to the powers that be, Rosenstein was appointed to work in the US Office of the Independent Counsel under Ken Starr on the Whitewater Investigation into then President Bill Clinton. By some miracle, or clever work by insiders, the Clintons escaped culpability once again. Rod wasn’t alone, he had help from his co-worker James Comey, who was also making sure the Clintons were exonerated during the Whitewater affair.
Enter Lisa Barsoomian, wife of Rod Rosenstein.
Lisa Barsoomian works for R. Craig Lawrence, an attorney who has represented Robert Mueller three times, James Comey five times, Barack Obama forty-five times, Kathleen Sebellius fifty-six times, Bill Clinton forty times, and Hillary Clinton seventeen times between 1991 and 2017.

Islamic females are complicit, Stockholm syndrome sufferers are innocent bystanders.
Let me rephrase it to your liking: Why did Trump acquiesce to McCabe’s promotion to acting director when he brought so much Obama related baggage and anti Trump actions?
Hopefully, when Christopher Wray is sworn in as the new FBI director he proves to be squeaky clean and assigns current acting director McCabe the responsibility of keeping FBI headquarters’ toilets clean.
Trump should have demanded someone not such an obvious Obama drone be in the position, particularly after McCabe’s little gathering of other high FBI officials and their First we F Flynn and then we F Trump party. Not to mention the bribe given to him through his wife to stop the Hillary “matter.”
Hopefully, when Christopher Wray is sworn in as the new FBI director he proves to be squeaky clean and assigns current acting director McCabe the responsibility of keeping FBI headquarters’ toilets clean.

Wray is a cutout of Mueller and Comey - best buds so to speak.
don’t count on anything.
Everyone in DC was spying on Trump before he was elected.
Since then they have been involved in sedition to remove him as president.
Sorry for using a big word, “acquiesce.” Why did Trump stand by and let McCabe take the position...........

There’s another article out there about the Treasury spying on Trump.
anyone know what this is?

Listen to the video - George says this article came out today and also an article came out today about Treasury (IRS) spying on Trump.
Because agents were loyal to Comey. They proved it by wearing pro-Comey T-shirts to an outdoor FBI party a few months after the firing. If Trump wanted to ratchet the hard feelings against him up to an ouright rebellion, he’d have fired McCabe also.
And before you start bragging about how you’d have fired McCabe anyway, A, you have no idea of the breadth and depth of the resistance Trump is facing, and B, McConnell could have done more to expedite the Wray confirmation, which will resolve the McCabe issue without further anti-Trump blowback.
Time for a special counsel to investigate Mueller’s ties to Comey and their obvious Paki connections through the DNC. Put the pressure where it belongs, dig up Mueller’s connections and finances and that of his whole team.

?? He appointed Wray.
He is connected to these guys too
This info is very important.
Thank you for posting it.
Please explain precisely what Wray’s connections to ‘these guys,’ consist of.
I’m so sick of unsourced gossip.
