Ex-Dem IT aide Imran Awan’s case hit with repeated delays, as feds probe
Fox News ^ | 4 May 2018 | Alex Pappas

Posted on 05/04/2018 6:54:39 AM PDT by Magnatron

The federal court case against Imran Awan, the former IT aide to congressional Democrats, has been hit with repeated delays over the last six months -- a situation fueled by allegations in the media that, according to his attorney, have piqued the curiosity of prosecutors.

Since November, a judge has postponed Awan’s court hearing in U.S. District Court five times at the request of the prosecution and defense. The latest postponement came Thursday, when the judge pushed Friday’s scheduled hearing to June 7.

In an interview Thursday with Fox News, Awan’s attorney, Christopher J. Gowen, blamed the delays on the steady stream of allegations against Awan that have been published online, especially by The Daily Caller, and pushed by President Trump and Republican members of Congress.

The reports suggest Awan, who worked for former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and others, could have been involved in a cyber breach operation, something his legal team vigorously denies.

With the Justice Department we have currently, I’d say they were trying to stretch this out to enable a cover up.

A genuine scandal.

Entirely ignored by the pinkos who run the so-called “news” media.

If our Attorney General had a pulse there would already be multiple Grand Juries empaneled and several sitting Democrat House Members would be under oath in front of them

But he doesn’t, so there aren’t.

And I seriously doubt there will be as long as Sleepy Jeff occupies that office.

I’d say you were right. I’d even put money on it.

CONNECTING THE PAKI DOTS-—The secret backstory of how Obama let Hezbollah off the hook
(and looked the other way as criminal activities were financed by Pakis employing used car schemes)

Politico ^ | December 15, 2011 | Josh Meyer / FR Posted by Rabin

PART I——A GLOBAL THREAT EMERGES How Hezbollah turned to trafficking cocaine and and laundering money thru used cars to finance its expansion (and the story of Obama’s complicity) .—snip-—more at FR


EVEN THE COPS ARE INVOLVED-—The Awans carefully planned their treasonous schemes. They infiltrated Virginia L/E.....had House Democrats under their thumb.....and took in millions of tax dollars all at the same time. With Usman E. Rafi (referenced below), their confederate in L/E, the Awans car scams hummed along smoothly.

(HAT TIP LUKE ROSIAK) Abid Awan was “managing partner” of the car dealership at the same time he was cashing US govt checks-—as a US govt employee earning $160,000 handling IT for House Democrats. Abid would frequently simply go across the street to long-standing dealership called AAA Motors and get cars.

AAA’s owner Nasir Khattak told a court: “If AAA (lends) a car to CIA, it was simply take the AAA car across the street to CIA and sell it, and maybe give the profit back.....or not. There was no documentation....you will not be able to make any sense out of them because there were dozens and dozens, of cars transferred between the two dealerships and between other people.”

“All of those transactions was to support Cars International A using AAA Motors,” he testified. “That’s why I did not make any money from my AAA dealership because my resources were supporting Awans’ Cars International A.” Khattak did not explain to the court, or to the press, why he would ruin his own existing business to help the Awans.


REFERENCE-—A Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Deputy -— Deputy First Class (DFC) Usman E. Rafi, 37 -— was charged with two Felony counts of using computer to gather identifying information (VCIN violation), thirty counts of dealer violations (misdemeanor) and thirty counts of open title violations (misdemeanor).

Rafi turned himself in. He was released on an unsecured bond. L/E found that between May, 2014 to November, 2016, the deputy used his official position to obtain information for the sale and resale of used vehicles. Further, the deputy used his access to the Virginia Criminal Information Network (VCIN) to assist with the transactions.
DFC Rafi is a ten year veteran of the department. NOTE WELL: That’s right about the time the Awans were hired by Debbie Wasserman Schultz to IT House Democrats.


ANALYSIS: AAA Cars’ Khattak was a confederate-—in cahoots with the Awans’ CIA Cars.....the AAA dealership was part of the scam. The Awans apparently screwed him which is why he went to court.

Khattak told the court only Imran Awan knew what became of the money. “It was Imram who was running the business in full control,” he said. NOTE: Abid Awan of CIA Cars has hired a lawyer specializing in money-laundering cases.

And before you know it, POOF, the statute of limitations will have expired and they go home to Pakistan — or stay here! — free of legal entanglements. Amazing how that works.

Well, I don’t know what’s wrong with everyone. His lawyer says he hasn’t done anything wrong - so what’s the problem?
Good grief...Guess there’s no shortage of funds (compliments of the US taxpayers) to pay for his lawyer. Funds by way of paychecks, that is!

::””But the case has drawn interest from Republican lawmakers because of Awan’s role for prominent Democrats and the access he had to sensitive data. The Daily Caller has published numerous news stories suggesting Awan inappropriately accessed congressional servers while working for Democrats.

Gowen dismissed those stories as “lies.”

“I know that my client did not have access to any confidential or security clearance documents,” he said.””::

SHOCKER---Nancy Pelosi authorized the Awan's to access the computers of eight ranking Democratic members who sit on crucial House Intel Committees. In a March 16 letter, Pelosi stated: “[W]e request you include adequate funding to the House Office of the Sergeant at Arms to support Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information Security (TS/SCI) Clearance investigations for individual designees from each House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Member’s personal staff.”

========================================

THE MUSLIM CONGRESSMAN W/ A STRANGLEHOLD ON YOUR SAFETY AND SECURITY

Nancy Pelosi appointed him, as Andre Carson maneuvered his stranglehold on several major Congressional intel committees,

Rep Andre Carson (Dem-Indiana) is a member of (A) the House Intelligence and (B) House Homeland Security Committees. Carson is also ranking member of the (C) House intelligence subcommittee on Emerging Threats, which oversees the (D) Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The subcommittee oversight extends to the (E) National Counter-terrorism Center and (F) information-sharing programs. (The first elected Muslim---Cong Keith Ellison---is co-chair of the DNC.)

Rep Andre Carson, an Indiana Democrat----is the second Muslim elected to Congress-----and the first Muslim on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Carson sits on several high level security committees: (A) the House Intelligence, and, (B) House Homeland Security Committees. Carson is also (C) ranking member of the House intelligence subcommittee on Emerging Threats, which oversees (D) the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The subcommittee oversight extends to (E) the National Counter-terrorism Center and information-sharing programs.

==============================================

PASS THE WORD To get these important committee appointments, Andre Carson has to be bringing in serious money for Democrats-----monies required by the DNC. These high-level committee appointments are "positions for sale." Every appointment has a dollar amount attached to it that Members desiring the positions are required to raise. Taxpayers demand to know if Carson is channeling Islamicist cash directly into the DNC.

=======================================

NOTE---Democrat Cong Andre Carson employed Imran and is buddy-buddy w/ the Pakis. Eye-witnesses report Carson and Imran---a tax-paid US govt employee---passed the time away playing video games in Carson's Congressional office. An astute FReeper posted.

Speaker Ryan has the power to remove Carson from these committees.

“”ANALYSIS: AAA Cars’ Khattak was a confederate-—in cahoots with the Awans’ CIA Cars.....the AAA dealership was part of the scam. The Awans apparently screwed him which is why he went to court.””

That would make sense... He sat and watched it happen and then what? I tell you, these foreigners know all the tricks and bring them here to this country. It’s a way of life for them and they probably wonder what on earth is wrong with the rest of us!!!

“Maybe they give back profit. Maybe no. I don’t really know OR CARE”.

Mind boggling!

APRIL 2016 THE PAKI SCAM IS UNVEILED---Alarm bells went off when House computer security officials reported “irregularities” in computer equipment purchasing......specifically, the theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars in US government property. The initial evidence pointed to (a) five Paki IT staffers, and, (b) Congressional Democrats that employed them.

The Paki scam quickly exploded into:
<><> (A) multiple charges of conspiracy against the United States of America,
<><>(B) double-billing Congress,
<><> (C) placing ghost employees on the govt payroll,
<><> (D) stealing govt issue electronics,
<><>(E) submitting falsified documents to the US govt,
<><> (F) mortgage scams,
<><>(G) shady wire transfers to Pakistan, and,
<><>(H) Congressional bank fraud.

Democrats hired this bunch to boost their “diversity” credentials....sucking up for votes is never far from their small minds.

As always, a great post. IIRC, I posted on the Awans in March 2017. So far nothing has happened. If the DS takes over Trump, this will be gone and so will Trump. Why is he letting this fester. DWS, Becera, et al must be dealt with ASAP. Not in the next Century.

Then-Cong Becerra headed the House Congressional Democrat Caucus. Becerra gave the Paki spies free reign over all US intel.

<><> The Awans had access to all the Democrats Congressional data including Democrats emails. Imran Awan is the walking example of an insider threat, a criminal actor who had access to everything.” “They were using Xavier Becerra’s House Democratic Caucus as their central service warehouse.
The data was completely out of the members’ possession. Does it mean it was sold to the Russians?

<><> Imran’s wife Hina Alvi was the only IT officially authorized to use Xavier Becerra’s House Democratic Caucus computer equipment. She is on record as logging on about 300 times......as the rest of the Awan crew were accessing intel on Becerra’s computer thousands of times using Becerra’s passwords and codes.

Becerra was looking the other way (snort).

Becerra-—now Cali’s top lawman——refuses to answer questions about this.

<><>The Awan family was logging in to Xavier Becerra’s House Democratic Caucus server with 17 different accounts belonging to Congressional offices whose data should have had no connection to the caucus, according to the House investigative report.

<><> The patterns were consistent with data being funneled onto Becerra’s server from other members of Congress, but the members said Becerra never alerted them of any aberrations. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
