FBI Seized Smashed Hard Drives From Wasserman Schultz IT Aide Imran Awans Home Imran Awan Was Arrested While Trying to Leave the Country and His Wife Is Already in Pakistan With Their Daughters The investigation is focused on allegations the Awan group abused their access as congressional information technology (IT) administrators for dozens of Democratic members of the House of Representatives, including former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman Rep.

And for an explanation of that it's worth remembering that the 'Washington Times' is a more dubious media outlet than even the Daily Mail Not to be confused with the Washington Post or New York Times that it tries to fool people that it is |

So are most of the other newspapers running the story. However it is the surname Awan that interests me. I am trying to find out if there is a relation between the Awan being referred to in this thread and a serious crook with the same surname who legged it out of Britain several years ago with a substantial amount of other people's money. |

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/07/27/abc-nbc-and-cbs-pretty-much-bury-it-scandal-engulfing-debbie-wasserman-schultzs-office-n2360649 Concerning media coverage, Politico has reported something on it, but the big three—ABC, NBC, and CBS—have virtually buried this story, preventing the millions of viewers that tune into these respective networks from learning about it. NBC and ABC have been silent in their broadcasts, but CBS did devote 37 seconds to it. Trump tweeted highlighting this earlier. If the story gets bigger it will be interesting to see how long they keep blanking it for. |

In which case all I can think is "Imran Awan" is Pakistani for Arfur Daley As there's several sets of them and their brothers on the run As for the story itself, I've seen precious little of it so far in places I'd look for news, but I thought I did see a mention on RT which would explain why no other UK news source would touch it ... So is this guy going to death row for espionage it to the slammer for fraud ??? And who "pretended to be him" for his wire transfer ?? All good stuff !! Mind you, I seem to recall Cherie Blair had some well dodgy "aides" ... Edited by johnofgwent, Jul 28 2017, 05:49 AM.

It is just the Awan surname I am interested in. (I won't give the first name because as far as I am aware the case is still being investigated.) |

Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fired DNC Chair) Tries To Threaten US Capitol Police Chief https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ1aJhN6PoE Whats up with her? Surely if she and Imran have nothing to hide she has nothing to fear. |

Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Pakistani IT Scammers http://www.nationalreview.com/article/449983/debbie-wasserman-schultz-pakistani-computer-guys-bank-fraud Congressional-staff salaries are modest, in the $40,000 range. For some reason, Awan was paid about four times as much. He also managed to get his wife, Alvi, on the House payroll . . . then his brother, Abid Awan . . . then Abid’s wife, Natalia Sova. The youngest of the clan, Awan’s brother Jamal, came on board in 2014 — the then-20-year-old commanding an annual salary of $160,000. |

No. the similarities, cyber security, are there, which is coincidental. what it causes in me is an awareness that those we entrust our security to are sometimes the people we need security from. I have no reason to doubt that this Awan is not fighting extremism - other than he is of the same faith as those he is fighting against. A faith that we know has placement officials in areas where they can influence security services.That is concern, not an accusation. |

People who are of the same faith as Islamic extremists often have more reason to hate them than you do. |

Yes and most slavers who enslaved poor black people were muslims too. It would seem that muslims are their own worst enemy. Make of that fact what you will. |
