Imran Awan’s Lawyer Is Long-time Clinton Associate

Gowen described Awan’s arrest as “clearly a right-wing media-driven prosecution by a United States Attorney’s Office that wants to prosecute people for working while Muslim.”

[ScaniaBoy]

No surprises there; neither the fact that the laywer is a longtime Clinton associate, nor the content of his statement.

What is this counsel's life-time batting average?

  The Ecuadorians claimed damages caused by waste disposal practices by Texaco, which Chevron took over in 2000 in a $100 billion merger. Chevron refused to pay $9.5 billion in damages against Texaco in an Ecuadorian court. Donziger’s team sought to force Chevron to pay by taking the litigation to the U.S. court system.
   But Donziger was convicted in 2014 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for violating the federal Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in connection with money laundering, wire fraud, witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
   A federal appeals court upheld the convictions and the case was remanded to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit following the Supreme Court’s denial, which upheld the decision.

Wow, a high-powered Clinton hithenchman attorney. Looks like he brought a few barrels of sleaze to dump on the floor while he turns the courtroom in a circus.

Ooops! She left out "VAST"!!

[EnquiringMind]

I meant “he” left out “VAST”

[blueunicorn6]

Goodness.

Is Hillary involved in this?

Oh my.

[Freemeorkillme]

Comey?

[Envisioning]

Ooops! She left out "VAST"!!

LOL

[Blue Highway]

Where is the rest of this Awan clan? If they are still in the US ARREST THEM NOW before their escape to Pakistan. Is the FBI doing this on purpose?

[MortMan]

Well, in her case it’s more likely “half-vast”!

From another thread:

...Fact is, Texaco cleaned up its share of the Ecuadorean oil-extraction operation near Lago Agrio, where the accusations were hatched, and then got two clean bills of health from the Ecuadorean government in 1995 and 1998, having fulfilled its responsibilities free and clear.
Enter Steven Donziger, an environmental zealot with a bent for Hollywood theatrics who drew in droves of big players by persuading them he could win monster verdicts with big payouts. One of these players was a hedge fund that “invests” in expected lawsuit awards...-——

Well well well.

Did DWS set this up?

[Spitzensparkin1]

"Did DWS set this up?"

This has Hillary's MO all over it with, DWS as the patsy for plausible deniability. Probably something along the lines of...

"Deb, you just go along with us on this one, and you hire Awan, do what he says, and we'll get you promoted to the top!"

Prediction: DWS will commit Arkincide soon.

How does a foreigner arrested for bank fraud, suspected of espionage, get out on bail within hours?

Forget it Ray. It's Washington.

My nose hurts just reading that.

Bating average? Hopefully, Imran is not a recipienet of that type of bating average like Fort Marcy Park.
