The scam Imran Awan pulled at the Congressional Federal Credit Union
for which he is under indictment has the potential to open a can of worms.

<><> there is a paper trial----Imran's loans should be well-documented.

<><> One document to be examined is the appraisal, particularly the FORM NUMBER of the appraisal.

<><>A home appraisal would be on one form, while an income property would be on another.

<><> Falsifications here starts to unravel the story.

<><>The appraiser is obligated to archive the file for five years. Many appraiser are archived on the cloud with national data services.

<><>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.

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

BACKSTORY Capitol Police revoked the Awans’ access to the congressional IT system in February 2017 after a major data breach was detected. Their access had allowed them to read emails and files of dozens of members, including many serving on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

House Democrats have been nonchalant about the allegations, with some saying it was just a misunderstanding or the Capitol Police who framed the Awans due to Islamophobia.

But official documents, court records and multiple interviews suggest the Awan crew may have engaged in tax fraud, extortion, bankruptcy fraud and insurance fraud and the money could have been funneled overseas.

One Democrat IT aide, Abid Awan, has hired high-profile attorney James Bacon who specializes in money laundering litigation.

The Awans share modest homes, drive unremarkable cars and report little in the way of assets on congressional disclosures. The family owns significant amounts of Virginia rental properties, which are heavily financed, some with second mortgages. In recent weeks, Imran has attempted to buy gold bars---a ruse to secrete wealth out of the US.

It’s unclear where the Awan rental income goes because the Awans insist tenants pay in odd ways.

The Daily Caller News foundation interviewed multiple current and former tenants who said Imran insisted rent be paid in untraceable ways. Many of those TheDCNF interviewed about the Awans asked not to be identified for fear of suffering retaliation by the family, particularly renters to whose homes Imran has keys.

“House Democrats have been nonchalant about the allegations, with some saying it was just a misunderstanding or the Capitol Police who framed the Awans due to Islamophobia.”

Gee, look what you can get away with when you are in the protected class. I Hate the way the left uses pretend racism to cover up/enhance their agenda.

Nice to see someone cultivating this furrow.

All of the property record data, appraisals, home inspections, title reports, mortgage applications, escrow disbursement records, etc. are archived in the cloud.

It is time to start pulling chains on the support cast of conspiring critters. IMHO, many people KNEW and used nuanced language in their reports that avoided words that would trigger an audit.

At the lowest level, unindicted co-conspirators. Start yanking on the appraisers because these licensed professions had to physically inspect these properties owned by the AWANS.

Thanks, Liz.

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

Thanks for the intel, Liz.

Thanks for the backstory on the Congressional Spying Scandal. Has it occurred to you that these IT “workers” are agents of a particular foreign government? Reports have said they pass data to intelligence folks in their home country. And that the men are treated like top government officials. If this is correct, do you remember that our former CinC visited that foreign country as a young man escorted by his boyfriend whose family had deep connections there? It has occurred to me every single time I hear about this deep penetration of Congress. Someone gave the foreign agents a pass on background investigations. Someone with enormous influence and power. A parallel is Abedin’s infiltration of Clinton's servers which she vacuumed up and did who knows what with? Whose interests does Abedin serve?

[TEXOKIE]

Wow Thanks for the ping, Liz.

Thank God the wind prevails from west to east or the smell from Washington DC would have us in the southwest all gagging to death.
