Democrats' IT scandal set to explode with possible plea deal
foxnews.com ^ | 6/6/2018 | Frank Miniter

Posted on 06/07/2018 9:54:56 PM PDT by bitt

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.

a "deal"? No thanks. Unless he implicates Wasserman Shultz and others.

Head’s up Post 51 and 60.

A tug on the ball of twine will start to unravel the nasty mess.

All of the Awan's property record data, appraisals, home inspections, title reports, mortgage applications, escrow disbursement records, etc. are archived in the cloud. IMHO, many people KNEW and used nuanced language in their reports that avoided words that would trigger an audit. At the lowest level start w/ the appraisers because these licensed professions had to physically inspect these properties owned by the AWANS.

Thanks for the insights----deserves a repeat. Earlier data indicates Imran was quite the landowner and operator.

HAT TIP LUKE ROSIAK, DAILY CALLER

The Awans owned numerous homes that operated as rental properties.
Interviews w/ tenants revealed the Awans demanded cash or blank money orders as rental payments.

DEMOCRATS' IT, IMRAN AWAN, FINDS TIME TO BROKER REAL ESTATE---Virginia licensing documents show that Imran Awan became a licensed real estate broker during the time period he was earning $160,000 tax dollars from House Democrats. The licensing process requires certifying that the applicant was working “an average of at least 40 hours per week” as a real estate agent at the time. Brokers typically supervise real estate agents and handle large amounts of money.

Two sources said that in recent weeks, Imran has discussed providing third parties with money and having them travel to New York City to buy and return with a 1-kilogram gold bar. “He wants to hide his money,” one source said in relation to the gold.

(NOTE better check Imran's toothpaste----one thief turned his money into diamonds and stuffed them in a toothpaste tube to get it out of the USA.)

HAT TIP ATTENTION SURPLUS DISORDER-- As long as there was no obstruction of justice,
I can’t think of a thing Florida Cong Debbie Wasserman Schultz would have to be worried about.


(A) She obviously had no intent to finance an espionage operation that stole gov’t computer equipment, and,
(B) placed 2-3 people with zero skills on her payroll.
(C) And kept paying them--even the no-shows--- after she fired them.
(D) And she maintained tight security, carefully controlling those same folks
having access to 30 or more Congressional email accounts, some with security clearances.
(D) She also carefully checked the backgrounds of those folks, too,
(E) and she made sure their records were spotless.
(F) She was totally okay with Imran conducting Congressional IT duties while in Pakistan for months at a time.

House Democrats and Debbie W/S keep using “Religious profiling, and Islamaphobia” -——
to bail themselves out of this national security mess.

Can they produce a documented paper trail of religious profiling complaints?

<><> Do they have reports filed under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act that prohibits workplace segregation based on religion?

<><> Do they have complaints filed w/ the EEOC, an agency that monitors religious discrimination?

<><> Do they have reports filed w/ the Congressional Islamic Staff Association?

<><> Do they have letters from constituents complaining about her Muslim hires?

<><> Do they have reports filed w/ the Civil Rights Commission?

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

I didnt think so.

I think Awan showed her how to fit the Democratic machine into a money-laundering mechanism.

It always surprised how the Awans built up this import/export car business on the side, and it looked an awful lot like money-laundering to me.

IMO any deal with the current swamp-infested DOJ equals a cover-up.

......while employed as high-paid Democrat ITs, the Awans had an import/export car business on the side
(looked an awful lot like money-laundering)....

THE OBAMA/AWAN CONNECTION---The secret backstory of how Obama let Hezbollah off the hook
(and ignored criminal activities 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). (more linked on FR)

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

AWAN BACKSTORY---The Awan spy cabal 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.

Then-Cong Xavier Becerra (DEM-CALI) 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 to any aberrations in their systems. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

NOTE Becerra apparently made no effort to (A) advise US intel agencies there was a problem, nor did Becerra (B) advise constituents their communications containing personal information and SS numbers may have been compromised.

There’s not a single crime that the Democrats have committed in the last 20 years for which any of them have been even indicted for.

Except for Rod Blagojevich and Jesse Jackson Jr, who took the fall to cover up Obama's role in selling his Senate seat.

The Awans apparently had a number of facilitators.Is there any commonality in the service providers associated with the multiple property purchases that are reportedly associated with the Awan clan? Real estate agent, title company, escrow, closing attorney, appraiser, home inspector, etc. So many of these folks have been on-site and seen something, IMHO. <><> important to know that appraisers are regulated at the state-level.

I'm guessing if someone takes the time they'll find paydirt here... the Awans are careful but a tad lazy...

A bit lazy, true....but also cocksure since they had D/W/S and “someone” high up in the political food chain protecting them.

There will be virtually no MSM news coverage that the general public will see.

Amazing how that happens. This Wednesday morning Comcast Business and private phones went dead coast pmto coast and from Canada to Mexico at 10:30 DST and were out for hours.

Yesterday, again at about 10:30 am DST many areas across the states lost their Comcast landline phones until after 6 pm.

There seemed to be a news blackout on Comcast’s phone blackouts for the two days.
