Imran Awan, a House staffer at the center of a criminal investigation potentially impacting dozens of Democratic lawmakers, has been arrested on bank fraud and is prevented from leaving the country while the charges are pending.
Awan was arrested at Dulles Airport on Monday evening before boarding a flight to Lahore, Pakistan. His wife, Hina Alvi, has already left the country for Pakistan along with their children. Federal agents do not believe Alvi has any intention of returning to the U.S., according to a court document.
"This is clearly a right-wing media-driven prosecution by a United States Attorney's Office that wants to prosecute people for working while Muslim," Chris Gowen, Awan's attorney, said in an email declaring his client's innocence.
Awan, a longtime IT staffer who worked for more than two dozen House Democrats, has been at the center of a criminal investigation on Capitol Hill for months related to procurement theft. Several of his family members, also IT staffers at the time, were implicated in the ongoing investigation.
Most Democratic lawmakers cut ties with Awan and his family after the criminal investigation came to light in early February. But Awan has continued to be employed by Wasserman Schultz, although it’s unclear what his job duties are given he has been barred from accessing the House IT system for months.

Awan brothers can go to hell. DNC will pay for their crimes.
This confirms that Mueller isn't really investigating Trump. He's been going after the DNC and Hillary all along.
Surprised it took this long. Those awan guys are dirty.

Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s right-hand information technology (IT) aide was arrested attempting to leave the country just a few hours after The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group revealed that he is the target of an FBI investigation.
The employees had wired $283,000 from the Congressional Federal Credit Union in a House office building to two individuals in Pakistan.
“On January 18, 2017 at 12:09 pm, an international wire transfer request form was submitted [at the Congressional Federal Credit Union] at the Longworth House Office Building in the District of Columbia, in the amount of $283,000.00, to two individuals in Faisalabad, Pakistan,” according to a 10-page affidavit obtained by TheDCNF.
Wasserman Schultz has refused to fire Imran, despite being a known criminal suspect in a cybersecurity probe for months, and has blocked Capitol Police from searching a laptop they confiscated because it was tied to him.

What the hell? Are they financing terror or something?
who gives a shit if an aide was arrested for bank fraud
>>161111
Those guys are way more than simple aids. They were running an espionage operation. This arrest proves there is a major investigation of high level democrats ongoing.

Nah, Pakis and Indians funnel money out of the country all the time. It's partially because the dollar is far more valuable over there, and debt is inherited by family members. It's economically bad to hire indian/paki workers because the money almost always gets funneled out of the host economy.
>>161114
Almost forgot, it's also extremely easy to launder money in those countries. The paper trail is about as shitty and unkempt as their streets.

Not seeing evidence for espionage here. Maybe you have another source to that effect?
Could be something, could be another garden variety Paki scammer. I suppose we'll find out on the mythical 27th.

Wo is Seth Rich? Is he another Clinton victim?
>>161137
His name was Imran Awan.
>>161134
He'll go down as a legend.

Multiple people in intelligence have now said that Trump has not and still is not the target of any investigations
Mueller is just virtue signalling at this point.
If he was serious, then he would have already recommended bringing felony charges against comey for multiple leaks of classified information and espionage.

Russians are finally getting tired of shilling him, now they've moved on to Elizabeth Lee Beck. It's all part of their fantasy narrative.
>>161442
Deep state fucked up because everyone in the elite are braindead drug/alcohol addict idiots who've never worked a day in their life. Now theyre trying to remove Trump with everything they've got. Nonstop bullshit stories. Funding protestors. Investigations based on nothing.
Civil war is coming.
