One Retired Marine Is Behind Why Investigators Got Dem IT Guy’s ‘Smashed Hard Drives'
Independent Journal Review ^ | 27 July 2017 | Victoria Taft

Posted on 07/27/2017 1:43:13 PM PDT by Lorianne

The bizarre tale of former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s IT aides has taken another turn with the news that the “smashed hard drives” that investigators recovered were handed over by a retired U.S. Marine who saw something hinky going on.

The Daily Caller reports that Schultz’s and the Democratic House members' information technology specialists are under investigation for reported theft of government property, running a possible real estate scam, and then trying to flee the country.

In a new update, The Daily Caller reports that the computer expert, who was arrested at Dulles Airport while trying to flee the country, left “smashed hard drives” in the garage of a home he rented out to the Marine and his wife, a Navy officer.

The DC reports that Imran Awan put his house up for rent after he found out last February that he was under investigation.

The Daily Caller reports that the people who rented the home, a 14-year-Marine vet and his wife, a Navy officer, knew something unscrupulous was going on when they found government computers and smashed hard drives in their garage.

Investigators from NCIS, the FBI and Capitol Police reportedly confiscated the “wireless routers, hard drives that look like they tried to destroy, laptops and a lot of expensive toner.”

The retired Marine, who wanted to stay anonymous to protect his wife’s naval career, said that Awan, who threatened him with lawsuits for failing to return the equipment to him, appears to be a very bad actor:

"He’s dangerous. This is a crime syndicate that has successfully infiltrated Congress.

I served in the Marine Corps for 14 years; if I downloaded files to an offsite server, I’m going to prison for a lot of years."

All this verbiage about an energetic idealistic FBI seizing computer equipment out of patriotic Zeal is a bunch of freaking BS.

these were individual citizens with their eyes open, looking out for the country.

We caught a lucky break, we lucked out with this one.

Not apparently true if you were the Secretary of State.

This news was on FR last week. FWIW, No news channel or source has mentioned same yet. I think this is getting too hot and something had to give. DWS turned this in and is going to shut up and play(really?) stupid. Awan will be dead before his Arraingment. I would love to see everything with DWS & Awan Bros. be opened up. Maybe us FReepers could do it.
Everything is tied to this case. Hillary, Comey, Mueller, Wasserman(Pros), Huma, etc... We haven’t heard about the compouters and equiptment taken from Huma’s relatives in Michigan a few months ago. I hope that is being prepared.

So this punk is under investigation and his former residence was not searched? WTH? I guess the FBI is to busy looking into who Trump rented an apartment to ten years ago.

It will be interesting to see where this goes. I don’t have a lot of hope that it won’t disappear down some hole since it involves Dems.

I agree....a lucky break....Debbie must be furious. Hillary must be p*****. And Podesta is googling “which countries do not have an extradition treaty with the USA?”

I was going to say the exact same thing.

There must be hundreds of thousands of government workers thinking the same thing. No rule of law where the Clinton’s are concerned.

No good. The US has black ops teams that can bring Podesta back from the moon if necessary.

Yep. And it seemed they dragged their feet getting to it even then.

What if the person renting the house had not been this Marine and had been someone who wanted to sell the hardware? The Dems have no concern for national security whatsoever.

It can't be put in the memory hole as long as the President can tweet.

But we won't. We never do. Not when politicians could be embarrassed.

Nothing "bizzare" about the Marine's actions at all:

Semper Fidelis

Of all of them, Podesta is the one I’d like to see in jail....or shot by a firing squad..
