The curious case of Imran Awan, which sounds like an international spy thriller, is entering its third act. Awan was a congressional IT aide to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., and he was finally fired just after he was arrested trying to fly to Pakistan last summer.
Awan and his wife, Hina Alvi, were charged last summer with bank fraud. They now appear poised to strike a plea deal with the Department of Justice. A plea agreement hearing is set for July 3 before U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan in Washington, Fox News reported Wednesday.

DJT's tweet today kicked it up a notch..

The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine... well let’s hope so ...
If he pleads on bank fraud, he’s still wide open on espionage.
Two stories in one night with the FBI on our side for once. How long will the Rats continue to support them?
1 year unsupervised probation.
They are stiil firmly on the swamp's side.
What BS. It is Paki ESPIONAGE pure and simple, aided and abetted by 30 Democrat congress critters. I wish Fox would call a spade a spade and not use these silly, cutesy, and ridiculous descriptions.
He’s walking or the Dems would be freaking and Debbie babbler mouth Shultz would be going to jail.
Re: “IT scandal set to explode with possible plea deal...”
I’ll believe that when it happens.
My prediction - No Democrats go to jail, and the national security breach will be ignored by the MSM.
The Conservative legal group “Judicial Watch” has been trying to extract documents from the DOJ for two years about this crime.
Last I heard, DOJ hasn’t burped up one page to “JW.”
Of course he’s walking. The FBI wants this story to go away.
This is somehow being cooked to protect the Rats.
A pea bargin deal doesn't sound very explodey to me.
I would call it a dud.
Mueller wants cellphones from people not indicted or associated with the crap he’s chasing and the feebees didn’t go get the DNC servers. They just knew the Hildebeast would win. Now this is CYA on NATIONAL scale. How deep you ask? Paul Ryan’s pushing amnesty. Probably cause the smoke is clearing and us trumpers are starting to see what’s burning.
A plea bargain is often a plea to a single charge or a small number of charges when the defendant is culpable of many more (e.g., John Dean) in return for a prosecution promise to recommend a particular sentence, if the defendant cooperated in an investigation or the prosecution of other parties. You’ll see an unusually long period until sentencing if that is the trade off - maybe 6 months. Don’t hold your breath waiting for details from the IT brothers, it will be a long time. I was hoping it would be out in time for use against the Dem. House members (n=50 or 51) who used these guys, in the fall campaign.
My bet he walks. Gets his passport back and is gone to Pakistan before you see it on the news. The feebees will drive him to the airport.
I think he and his ‘network’ were there mostly as a money-laundering organization....bringing money into the US...shuffling money out of the US. This might be a shocker on which Democrats or Democrat lobbyists were using their service, or benefiting from it.
Maybe they shuffled money onto campaign efforts, and the Congressmen paid them off later with government contracts outside of the US.
Exactly. They will get a plea deal on the bank fraud charges in exchange for silence about the computer hacking espionage of the house demorats.
