Perhaps you’ve lost track of the Democrats slowly exploding IT scandal, as much of the media is doing all it can to simply ignore it away.
I’m referring to the strange case of Imran Awan, the IT aide Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., kept on her congressional payroll even after it became known he and his wife, Hina Alvi Awan, were being investigated by the Capitol Police for possible theft, fraud, moving terabytes of data off Congress’s system and more.
Imran Awan was back in court last week. When pushed, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Mirando revealed some telling things about this case.
First, I should note that it was standing room only in the packed courtroom at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Friday morning ... okay, just kidding, actually, only a few reporters sat in the mostly empty wooden benches in the back of the courtroom. Anyone who didn’t know this was the latest scene in a slowly exploding political scandal would have thought this was only a forgettable bank fraud case.
Awan’s attorney, Chris Gowen, even told me: “This case is hardly newsworthy.”
But before the show started, Imran’s wife, Hina Alvi Awan, entered the courtroom. She had flown away to Pakistan with their children soon after the investigation became known.
Was she back as part of a plea deal?

Calling AG Sessions, White Courtesy Phone, please...
Funny how them spying for ISI has been so quickly discounted and not listed in their catalog of crimes.
Rather reminiscent of the trial of Senator Robert Menendez, isn’t it? Latest report from CBS, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, etc.: ZZZZZZZ...!
Menendez is facing some very serious charges and the guy who set up the meeting between Menendez and former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius - none other than former Senator Harry Reid - hasn’t even been called as a witness.
New twist in Menendez trial: Will judge toss case before it goes to the jury?
With terabytes of data stolen, this is the biggest espionage case in American history. Takes a lot to make the Clinton’s loom like pikers.
Based on the Mike Espy case, Menendez should walk.
I got that response but I clicked Try Again and got it. i think maybe Fox is getting a very large number of hits on this one. give them more.
And they still own the DoJ.
The GOP has always been more avid to bury Democrat scandals than the Democrats have been.
I think your right. I couldn’t get it on my phone but did get it slowly on my computer.
<><>Why is Imran in court today?
<><> Why is he still here at all wearing a GPS he could easily slip?
<><>Why did Alvi return when she had already escaped and was safely residing in Pakistan w/ her three children and money in the bank?
I'll tell you why....b/c Pres Trump told Pakistan he is Withholding 225 million US dollars in foreign aid until they shape up.
Pakistan is putting enormous pressure on the Awan clan....b/c they want that foreign aid money.
That's a clue as to Where this is going.
=============================================
Let's be clear why this case is so bizarre.....things were done in a lackadaisical manner......the crimes committed were so up-front. The characters involved are so unlikely.
It's b/c all of it was done during the accommodating Obama admin...they all thought then, that Hillary was a shoo-in. She'd take office and the games could continue. Every crime would be swept under the rug.
Too bad......now they have the formidable Trump to deal with.
