U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu filed a motion before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, urging the court to deny the request from Awan, who is facing fraud and other charges.

Awan, a former IT aide for Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, is currently enrolled in the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP) with conditions that he abide by an electronically monitored curfew of 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. and a limit on traveling beyond 150 miles from his residence, according to court documents. Awan and his attorney want to lift those conditions, including the electronic monitoring bracelet.

Federal prosecutors warned this could give Awan an opening.

If the corrupt judge in this case lets this happen and Awan does indeed slip out of the country, Sessions should be fired on the spot. A warning from the DOJ isn't good enough in this case.

See? Shit gets done during Jeff’s half-day naps, sometimes.

[Kozy]

Let’s see he was fleeing when captured. No more restrictions rather than less.

[NonValueAdded]

Gee, ya think he’s a flight risk? /UltraMegaGigaDrippingSarc

[Paladin2]

Awan is not really the problem.

It’s the DNC, et. al.

[ptsal]

Put his butt in jai.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sure would take a load off Mueller if Awan were to disappear.

[blackdog]

They need him in protective custody.

[Zathras]

IF?
He was on his way there when he was arrested.

[txhurl]

He’s on a 50-mi radius ankle bracelet. No, really.

[ColdOne]

Who did he upset to get caught in the first place?

[Howie66]

Take him into custody (SEALs) and relocate him to Gitmo.

[mfish13]

This is just what the Dems want to happen. Maybe Mueller will help him.

[KJC1]

I wonder who the judge is that will rule on this.

[blackdog]

I hope his ankle bracelet has a heartbeat monitor?

[I want the USA back]

Having an “IT AIDE” from pakistan is in itself treason.

[Major Matt Mason]

I wonder who the judge is that will rule on this.

The same judge that has recused herself - twice - from the Fusion GPS case (although I think she was actually recused the first time, i.e. not voluntary).

Interestingly, the DoJ said in its opposition that Awan transferred several hundred thousand dollars (the proceeds from the fraud he’s been indicted for) to Pakistan precisely because Awan knew he was under investigation. It sounds to me that Awan committed the fraud itself because he knew he was under investigation. If that’s the case, why was Awan under investigation before he committed the fraud?

[Gay State Conservative]

Who appointed the judge who will decide? If it's Obola,BillyBob or Jimmah then this key witness will be in Karachi by the weekend,beyond the reach of US courts...kinda like Roman Polanski.

Of course Rat Party Headquarters would be saddened if he were to flee.

[veracious]

DC, lost in lawless space.
