The author is a former CIA officer and he lays out the story of Imran Awan well, with all details known to-date. There seems to be much more to this story yet to unfold.

The strangest aspect of this case for me is the 100% drudge non coverage of this story.

I fully expect that from a slobbering presstitute but not from Matt.

I’ve never seen Matt do this before, NEVER.

I noticed even a Politico reporter scoffed at DWS recent attempts to explain away her threats to Capitol Police.

But Drudge stays silent.

One might well ask how foreign-born IT specialists are selected and vetted prior to being significantly overpaid and allowed to work on computers in congressional offices


How does one vet a foreign born Muslim IT specialist?

Amazing truths that the media avoids and the republicans don't find out of the ordinary!

"The Awans billed Congress for more than $4 million between 2004 and 2016, a sum that has been reported to be three or four times higher than the norm for government contractor IT specialists performing similar work. The considerable level of overbilling has not been explained by the congressmen involved. In spite of all that income, Imran Awan declared bankruptcy in 2010, claiming losses of $1 million on a car business that he owned in Falls Church, Va. The business was named Cars International A, abbreviated on its business cards as CIA.

As of February 2016, the Awans came under suspicion for having set up an operation to steal and resell government-owned computer equipment. It was also believed that they had somehow obtained access to House of Representatives’ computer databases as well as to other information in the internal computer system that they were not normally authorized to work on as part of their duties. The Capitol Hill Police began an investigation and quietly alerted the congressmen involved that there might be a problem. Most stopped employing the Awan family, but Wasserman-Schultz kept Imran on the payroll until the day after he was actually arrested."

Within hours of arrest Imran Awan was released and had retained a Clinton Foundation lawyer.

since he apparently is in a position to ‘name names’, he had better have spent some of his ‘ill gotten gains’ on a good security team.

If the Clinton Crime Family figures this clown can tie them to something-anything, Fort Marcy may again make the headlines.

After all, the guy maybe plenty distraught as his wife is in another country and he is being ‘falsely accused’ of crimes against ?? he is a perfect candidate for clintoncide - I mean arkancide - no, I mean suicide

Which only goes to prove that the Sicilian and Russian Mafias are pikers when it comes to ‘Organized crime’ compared to the Liberals.

This article contains areas of speculation, but the speculation is measured and based on the available facts. It is probably based more on fact than the Russia/Trump stories have been based on, yet the media don’t give a damn.

Trump controls neither the CIA nor the FBI which are Deep State organs and they will stonewall now and cover up. Trump needs a dozen clones of Himself to put on as “czars” in the agencies to get anything useful done against the greatest spy ring since WWII and the fifties, certainly a more extensive ring than even then..

There are some who consider this ring to be assets of Pokistam military IT — as well as Iran’s.

Soooo if anyone thinks we are dealing with multi country military threats — they may treat it *differently* . . .

‘Is Imran Awan still in the United States ?’

He’s out on bail and not long on time.

The Paki tale is a strange one with plenty of unsavory links.

<><> Awan, as well as his wife and two brothers, Abid and Jamal, worked as IT administrators for nearly thirty (30) elected congressmen, all Democrats, including dumped DNC chair, Cong Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

<><> The Pakis accessed sensitive intel but did not have security clearances to do so.....and it is not even certain that they were in any way checked out before being hired.

<><> The Pakis engineered House employment for a colleague...Rao Abbas...someone to whom they owed money, and who might have had zero qualifications to work IT.

<><> Other IT staffers say the Paki clan (sucking up tax dollars) were unavailable for staff meetings and interoffice email exchanges.

<><> Rao Abbas allegedly worked for Rep. Patrick Murphy, a onetime member of the House Intelligence Committee, as well as for Rep. Theo Deutch. Abbas was paid $250,000.

<><> The Daily Caller News foundation interviewed multiple current and former Imran tenants about his odd collection of rent.

<><> Cristal Perpignan said Imran instructed her to pay the rent to Imran’s friend, Rao Abbas. At the time Rao was cashing US govt check, but during his alleged workday, he lived in the basement of the home Perpignan occupied.

<><> Abbas was on the House payroll, sucking up tax dollars as an IT worker, but Perpignan said the tax-paid Abbas spent his days at home in the basement.

Demand to know the number of US govt checks the Awan clan were cashing, and under how many identities.

Four US Congress members from New York City employed the Capitol Hill techies reportedly being probed for equipment theft and possible breaches of the House computer network.

Three of the five IT staffers worked at different times for Reps. Gregory Meeks and Yvette Clarke, and one also worked for Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. Another was a staffer for Rep. Joseph Crowley, the Queens Democratic Party chairman.

Coordinating the gathering of information in these corruption cases must be very tricky, especially if your aim is to indict and send people to jail.

I listened to the audio of Bill Mitchell’ Tuesday dialogs today and he says only one of the 30 odd lawyers that Mueller has hired is versed ni international intrigue.

The rest of the lawyers are trained in white collar crimes and RICO laws.

So what does that suggest about Mueller’s ultimate goal?

Mitchell’s hunch is that Mueller’s team is preparing to go after the Clintons, Lynch, Obama etc.
