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.

There are no details. Wray isn’t connected to Comey or McCabe. The gossip runs rampant in certain quarters.
I am ignoring my stalker above but will answer you.
When this was first announced many of us started digging.its on the threads about his nomination. If you google his name with mueller you will find it. I am on a phone and cant do it
Did you post to those threads? If so I can just look at your posting history and find it.
When will you stop lying about the stalking claim? A lie of that magnitude discredits everything else you say.
Btw...I cant remember about mccabe but wray certainly has connections with comey and mueller. Easily found
I did. But probably easier just to google . I honestly cant remember all the details but they were posted by various people as it relates to comey and mueller
Here is one. Didnt know about stellar wind showdown in the hospital room until Wray was nominated. Involved mueller and comey
Wray comey Mueller
Enron
Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing were just on with Hannity. They used every negative word they could come up with to describe Comey. They despise the guy with a passion. They called him disgusting,manipulative and a schemer to name a few of their adjectives.
I have the same reaction to Comey. It is a Christian battle to pray for him as I should.
It certainly speaks ill of the FBI that he was well regarded there. The swamp is deep.
Make a brief statement: Something along the lines of "I fired McCabe because of his incompetence and obstruction of justice", and then read a PREPARED statement outlining the DNC email fiasco, so that the public watching can learn.
Answer a question or two: If they ask like idiots, why Mccabe was fired, repeat "incompetence and obstruction". Then walk away.
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME WHY TRUMP HASN'T FIRED THIS WEASEL, MCCABE ALREADY.
That stellar wind showdown..with the ambush at the hospital with Ashcroft still on drugs and trying to avoid getting kicked out by gonzales really shows how crafty he can be
Fire McCabe
Close the Special Prosecutets office
Bttt.

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME WHY TRUMP HASN’T FIRED THIS WEASEL, MCCABE ALREADY.

I have spent many years in government so I have some idea of what he faces. It will take a backbone of steel to do what is necessary. He has started in some respects, not so much in others. The only complaint I have is some of his policies are not conservative enough but he is light years ahead of Hillary or any other Democrat.

C*NN: “Only 6 people have ever voted against an FBI director. Five of them did” yesterday. This means we done good, ‘pedes.
I must respectfully disagree with you. If you had any idea what Trump is up against, your comments would be different.
Here’s a question for you. Why was an NSC staffer just fired in connection with the Muslim Brotherhood?
