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."

Prison is temporary at best. A pardon will be forth coming as soon as the rats have the political power

History teaches the whole lot must be exterminated

The FBI guys who retrieved the electronic equipment in Awan’s garage are probably CLINTON HACKS. We’ll never hear about those hard drives again just like everything else of Hillary’s Comey seems to have destroyed or discarded.

‘So this punk is under investigation and his former residence was not searched?’

One word: McCabe

McCabe has probably “LOST” the retrieved equipment. That which was not completely destroyed by the Awan’s is now fully destroyed. BANK ON IT.

I’m with you on Podesta. He’s been lurking around since Bubba’s WH days and he’s pure scum. That being said, Hillary right along side him would be a beautiful thing. I truly despise that woman.

I love how the FBI used Financial Fraud as the charge. He signed loan documents and lied. Easy to charge and then work on the rest of the issues!

You could well be right. McCabe is a swamp creature. He should have been sacked along with Comey.

What if the person renting the house had not been this Marine and had been someone who wanted to sell the hardware?

I wonder why the Awans were storing it there? Were they going to sell it or perhaps just pack it up in a diplomatic container and ship it off to Pakistan?

"Not apparently true if you were the Secretary of State."

One set of laws for the subjects.

A totally different set of laws for the rulers.

We are right back where we were in 1775. Perhaps it is time to water 'The Tree Of Liberty'.

"..DWS turned this in and is going to shut up and play(really?) stupid."

And she does that real well.

Keep in mind, storage was an option b/c all of the principles involved....including Debbie Shultz and other elected Democrats that employed the IT spies.......operated under the deluded notion that Hillary would soon be in charge and the games could continue.

“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.””

Is this the incident that caused DWS to tell the Capitol police chief “there will be consequences” for his not giving back the computers to the DNC?

Aren’t they going after Mrs. Bernie Sanders for financial fraud too?
