Sessions DOJ Declares 'No Evidence' Imran Awan Broke Law with Congress's Computer Systems
Breitbart ^ | 3 July 2018 | Robert Kraychik

Posted on 07/03/2018 12:29:56 PM PDT by Meet the New Boss

The Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed a plea deal Tuesday to Imran Awan — former IT staffer for top House Democrats — which states the federal government found “no evidence” that Awan “violated federal law with respect to House computer systems.” The plea deal states:

The Government has uncovered no evidence that your client violated federal law with respect to the House computer systems. Particularly, the Government has found no evidence that your client illegally removed House data from the House network or from House Members’ offices, stole the House Democratic Caucus Server, stole or destroyed House information technology equipment, or improperly accessed or transferred government information, including classified or sensitive information.

The DOJ’s offer allows Awan to plead guilty to making a false statement on a loan or credit application; a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 1014. Although the crime carries a maximum sentence of 30 years imprisonment and a fine possibly exceeding $1,000,000 with restitution and interest penalties, the DOJ estimates a prison sentence of between zero and six months and a fine between $500 and $9,500 in the event of Awan’s acceptance of its terms.

The offer includes dismissal of all charges against Awan’s wife, Hina Alvi, listed in an August-issued indictment. It expires at the end of the day.

Awan, a Pakistani national, managed IT services for more than 20 congressional Democrats, including former DNC chairwoman Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) over several years.

Chris Gowen, Awan’s attorney, said last July that “ultra-right-wing-media” had victimized his client with an “anti-Muslim, right-wing smear job.”

So the trail went dry tracing sensitive and classified data leaving the US House of Representatives, through Lil Debbie's office, going to the Awan Family enterprises, to Pakistan, and then to other bad players? Is Sessions indeed Mister Magoo?

The sailor who took an innocuous picture of his shipmates aboard one of our boomers landed a year in prison.

A muslim who is involved in bigamy and fraudulent real estate schemes tax evasion and overt espionage gets off with a slap on the wrist.

So the media has just been making all of this up for the past two years?

Is that the DOJ’s position?

What the blazes is with Sessions, is he out of his mind? There is enough evidence readily available to put these guys in prison for life!

The deep state and RATS must have something really bad on Sessions that they are blackmailing him with.

The only other option is he IS part of the "deep state" because he certainly isn't doing his job.

Get rid of Sessions.
He is covering something up.
He’s worthless.

Plea deal? To me that infers something is obtained from this guy in exchange. I don’t care about this guy. I want the bigger fish. We shall see.

I am rapidly coming to Ronald Reagan’s position: “Trust, but verify.” And so far, after the OIG report-—not so much the report, which was damning, but the response to it, which was beyond tepid-—and now the Awan plea?

I’m not seeing much justice from the Justice Department. Hope I’m wrong.

I have confirmed there is a grand jury in Little Rock-—got an e-mail from the office of the grand jury. And there is a federal prosecutor there, Cody Hiland. But I have not at all found a shred of evidence that Hiland is presenting anything to that grand jury. Instead, there are cases involving a corrupt local pol there and several drug cases.

So that’s troubling as well.

BTW, my understanding is Sessions is recused from this matter because of the connection to Wasserman-Schultz and the DNC.

He recused himself from anything in anyway related to the candidates in the 2016 election or to their campaigns.

It means the DOJ/FBI wants the whole thing swept under the rug.

Wasn’t this because the “evidence” was recently stolen?

Tough judges used to be called hanging judges. What do we call sessions?
