The FBI has apparently been so very busy chasing Russian white rabbits that they simply haven’t been able to address credible threats to out national security. Oddly enough they seem to have little interest in Imran Awan and his shady clan of Pakistani Muslims.
 
 
Awan, an information technology (IT) administrator worked for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) for more than 12 years and was given unrestricted access to DNC computers and data systems. He was employed by dozens of other Democrats in the same capacity – with the same lax security.
 
Last summer Awan was charged with bank fraud in connection with wiring $283,000 from the Congressional Federal Credit Union to his native Pakistan. But it’s his suspected hijacking of sensitive data that should be cause for real concern. As Andrew C. McCarthy reported last August ~

Awan and his family cabal of fraudsters (a couple brothers and their wives) had access for years to the e-mails and other electronic files of members of the House’s Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committees. It turns out they were accessing members’ computers without their knowledge, transferring files to remote servers, and stealing computer equipment — including hard drives that Awan & Co. smashed to bits of bytes before making tracks.

The Daily Caller has been documenting this curious case for months. Here are excerpts from a March 19th article: A History Of Alleged Intimidation And Tampering In House Hacking Case ~

The House Office of Inspector General claimed in late 2016 that the Awan family logged into members’ servers they had no business accessing, in some cases after they’d been fired. Prosecutors allege the family also ordered equipment – sometimes shipped to their residence – using invoices falsified to make it easier for equipment to disappear, and took measures to cover their tracks.
 
The FBI began surveilling them, but prosecutors contend in court papers that the Awans likely “knew they were under investigation,” and they wired $300,000 to Pakistan. Federal agents arrested Imran at the airport in July trying to fly to Pakistan, and charged Imran and his wife with bank fraud involving money they wired overseas.
 
However, months later, authorities have not charged the couple with the more serious “unauthorized access” described in the IG’s investigation and backed up by server logs. Capitol Hill officials involved in oversight of the case say the reason is that Democratic employers are acting like “hostile victims” and are refusing to press charges.

Why wouldn’t Democrats cooperate in the investigation (other than the fact that they’re obstructionists by nature)? Well, considering the multiple allegations of fraud, intimidation and other threatening behavior – even physical abuse (and polygamy 😯 ) – against Imran and his entire gang, that the Daily Caller News Foundation uncovered, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that they’ve engaged in extortion as well ~

Given Democrats’ keen attention to political cyber breaches in the wake of the hack of the Democratic National Committee and other high-profile incidents, fellow IT aides and Republicans have offered theories to explain their uncharacteristic silence in this case: Blackmail or fear of retaliation by the Awans, who could read all the emails and files of 1 in 5 House Democrats, in the form of releasing that data or other information if they dare speak out against them.
 
That theory is strengthened by a yearlong investigation by TheDCNF (the Daily Caller News Foundation): Court filings and interviews show Imran has been accused of allegedly invoking his congressional position to intimidate immigrants, summoning political favors to make criminal charges go away, ordering witnesses not to cooperate with police, and enlisting police resources to bully people.
 
The most egregious incident of possible obstruction came after the IG determined that the House Democratic Caucus server was the epicenter of the suspected cybersecurity breach. There were indications the server might have been secretly collecting data from numerous offices, and it was uploading data offsite, an IG presentation said. Soon after, that entire server-turned-evidence was physically stolen, according to three government officials.
 
Imran’s entire family, plus a couple associates, were on the House payroll ostensibly working as IT administrators until they were banned from the House network on Feb. 2, 2017. The group collected a total of $7 million in salary even though some did not have any background in IT, and there are indications some were no-show workers, or “ghost employees.” Democrats have refused to say whether they ever saw some of the crew, such as Rao Abbas, whose most recent job experience was at McDonald’s. Abbas appeared on the payroll of numerous House Democrats soon after the Awans owed him money in a potential lawsuit, according to court documents.

Not only are Democrats still resolutely ignoring this scandal, the former DNC chair has actively covered for Awan ~ Wasserman Schultz screamed at House officials to kill hacking probe, intervened in Pakistani criminal matter ~
 

(W)hen a House Office of Inspector General cybersecurity investigation found that Awan made “unauthorized access” to House servers, including the House Democratic Caucus’ shortly before the election, Wasserman Schultz became “frantic, not normal,” “making the rounds” to House officials in an attempt to kill the investigation, one House employee told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

[Even better, Wasserman Schultz’s brother is a federal prosecutor in the same office handling the Awan case and has tweeted about it. 😯 ]

 
Here’s yet another suspicious twist to this tangled web, as reported by True Pundit ~ With Criminal Case Pending, Imran Awan Now Employed by Law Firm of His Clinton-Linked Defense Attorneys ~

One way to keep someone silent is to make sure you find them a job you can control. An old trick in the Clinton political and crony playbook.
 
Imran Awan is currently employed by the same firm that is trying to keep him and his wife from serving time in federal prison.
 
Welcome to The Swamp.
 
Is Awan handling his own case files and evidence, as well as fielding calls from the U.S. Attorney’s office about his case? This is preposterous.

It is preposterous – but that word seems to apply to most of the FBI’s clown show antics these days, thanks in no small part the agency’s former director.

 
The FBI wastes time, money and resources chasing phony Russian collusion while surreptitiously enabling cyber-spying by Pakistani Islamists. Why? Their reluctance to prosecute any sort of suspected subterfuge by Muslims started at the top – under the illustrious, now special counsel, Robert Mueller. What a coincidence eh?
 
In May of last year Judicial Watch featured a very interesting look back at Mueller’s devious role in hamstringing our national security ~

As FBI director, Mueller bent over backwards to please radical Islamist groups and caved into their demands. The agency eliminated the valuable anti-terrorism training material and curricula after Mueller met with various Islamist organizations, including those with documented ties too terrorism […]

 
The records obtained as part of Judicial Watch’s lawsuit show that Mueller, who served 12 years as FBI chief, met with the Islamist organizations on February 8, 2012 to hear their demands. Shortly later the director assured the Muslim groups that he had ordered the removal of presentations and curricula on Islam from FBI offices nationwide. The purge was part of a broader Islamist operation designed to influence the opinions and actions of persons, institutions, governments and the public at-large.

 
And this same Robert Mueller has the audacity to investigate Donald Trump for Russian collusion?! He deliberately ignores the obvious threat from organizations like CAIR, Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Muslim Brotherhood and Pakistani Islamists, and pretends Moscow is the real menace.
 

It’s a small comfort, but at least one member of Congress is looking out for the interests of we-the-people and trying to get to the bottom of this subterfuge. Two weeks ago Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) addressed the House of Representatives with regard to the handling egregious mishandling of the Awan case ~
 

As Gomert points out, Awan worked for 40-50 different Congressional Democrats (Daily Caller has a handy list HERE), none of whom – oddly enough – ever bothered with a background check. And none apparently thought it strange that he would spend 3-9 months every year in Pakistan.
 

While Gohmert sticks up for the honest people still working in the FBI – who actually take their oaths seriously – he notes that unfortunately there are now two kinds of justice on the Hill. Exactly right. One for the Swamp creatures and one for the rest of us.

“We need someone assigned to the Awan case that will protect congress from further breaches and from the Awan crime family… for heavens sake, we need someone in the FBI to step up and do their job!”

 
Wouldn’t that be a refreshing change?
