FBI seized smashed hard drives from Wasserman Schultz’s Muslim IT aide’s home

Jul 25, 2017 8:13 am By Robert Spencer

Five Pakistani-born Muslim Congressional IT aides are now under criminal investigation, and the establishment media is resolutely looking the other way.

Questions abound. “Collectively, the Awan group has been paid $4 million since 2009.” That’s a tremendous amount of money for IT work. And what is on these hard drives that led Imran Awan to work so resolutely to recover and destroy them? A genuine journalist would be working hard to find out what Imran Awan and his brothers, and the House Democrats, have to hide. But the establishment media is a propaganda arm for the Democrats, and so it has no interest in this affair.

“EXCLUSIVE: FBI Seized Smashed Hard Drives From Wasserman Schultz IT Aide’s Home,” by Luke Rosiak, Daily Caller News Foundation, July 23, 2017:

FBI agents seized smashed computer hard drives from the home of Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s information technology (IT) administrator, according to two sources with knowledge of the investigation.

Pakistani-born Imran Awan, long-time right-hand IT aide to the former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman, has since desperately tried to get the hard drives back, an individual whom FBI investigators interviewed in the case told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.

An additional source in Congress with direct knowledge of the case, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the probe, confirmed that the FBI has joined what Politico previously described as a Capitol Police criminal probe into “serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network” by Imran and three of his relatives, who had access to the emails and files of the more than two dozen House Democrats who employed them on a part-time basis.

Capitol Police have also seized computer equipment tied to the Florida lawmaker.

Awan’s younger brothers, Abid and Jamal, his wife, Hina Alvi, and Rao Abbas, Imran’s best friend, are also under investigation. There have been no arrests in the case.

There is also evidence of financial schemes that extend beyond the Capitol Police’s purview and may expand to Pakistan, where Imran spends significant portions of the year….

Soon after Imran began working for Wasserman Schultz in 2005, his two brothers and two of their wives — plus Abbas and another friend — began appearing as IT staffers on the payrolls of other House Democrats. Collectively, the Awan group has been paid $4 million since 2009.

Fellow IT staffers TheDCNF interviewed said the Awans were often absent from weekly meetings and email exchanges. One of the fellow staffers said some of the computers the Awans managed were being used to transfer data to an off-site server.

Shortly after the criminal probe was revealed in February, Imran abruptly moved out of his longtime home on Hawkshead Drive in Lorton, Va., and listed it for rent on a website that connects landlords with military families.

One of the new tenants — a Marine Corps veteran married to a female Navy Officer — said he found “wireless routers, hard drives that look like they tried to destroy, laptops, [and] a lot of brand new expensive toner.”

The tenants called the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and, not long after, FBI agents arrived together with the Capitol Police to interview them and confiscate the equipment. The Marine spoke on condition of anonymity because of concerns for his wife’s naval career, saying she doesn’t want to be associated with a national security incident.

“It was in the garage. They recycled cabinets and lined them along the walls. They left in a huge hurry,” the Marine said. “It looks like government-issued equipment. We turned that stuff over.”…

    Re Destruction of government property … Here’s something from the US Department of Justice…something that the Clinton cabal surely were familiar with:

    18 U.S.C. § 1361: Section 1361 protects “any property” of the United States or an agency or department thereof…from willful depredation or attempted depredation.”

    “…if the damage exceeds $100, the defendant is subject to a fine of up to $250,000, ten years imprisonment.”

    So… lock them up.

      And nothing ever happens to the Clintons. Nothing will happen to their allies. Ours is a nation of legalized lawlessness. So that makes this FAKE news. Wake me if, or when, these people are actually charged and prosecuted for sedition and treason. Until then, this is just NOISE…

        EXACTLY – Lets see if TRUMP can stop this continual push for ISLAMIZATION of the US ???

        Not looking that great so far !! Clinton & OBAMA & CRONIES still working behind the scenes !

        Nothing said by TRUMP about MUSLIM JIDAD JUSTIN awarding a 10 Million C$ pay day to OMAR KHADR – on the 4th of JULY – for being released after killing a US MEDIC in Iraq ????

        What has happened to TRUMP ?????? Why the SILENCE ????

    The moslem infiltration of the Democrats the DNC, and Hillary and the Obama regime runs deep and mysterious. We can all see the fruits of this however, with billions in wasted money, all the dead, the Middle East and North Africa on fire with jihad, and Europe invaded by millions of colonists working hard to terrorize and replace the existing culture and suck the kufar dry.

      Obama’s ambivalence about the muslim brotherhood was quite extraordinary.

      Even middle eastern commentators couldn’t quite understand why he was describing them as little more than a peace loving democracy advocacy group.

      Even as multiple arab states identified the MB as storing up a lot more trouble (even for THEM – never mind for the West). The brief MB rule in Egypt was so violent it was immediately overthrown in revolution. The army stepped in to stamp on it and return Egypt to semi-normality.

      But Obama himself was apparently totally unaware of any of it. that’s a level of blindness i will not understand. Not any time soon.

      he can say he finds the islamic call to prayer beautiful if he likes, and maybe has fond memories of indonesia. but to so misunderstand the nature of the MB, considering by the time he was in office some of their memoranda had been filed as evidence in terrorist trials?

      Mysterious is the word for it.

        Ambivalence? no he is a card carrying member…

      • Sons of Liberty says

        Jul 26, 2017 at 1:18 am

        Ambivalence ? …Obama is a Muslim and he had no problem putting Muslim Brotherhood people in his administration. Do you think the fact that he had his State Department bring in hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees from dangerous countries and plant them all over the USA was just an oversight ? All the while Christian refugees were being kept out , even when they are the true refugees being persecuted by …..Muslims. Obama was a traitor committed to destroying the United States our Founders created …which he hates. These Muslim refugees play right into the Muslim Brotherhood ‘ hijra’, …just like what is happening in Europe. We will pay a severe price for 8 years of Barack Hussein Obama,…in fact it has already started !

        O was not ambivalent. He knew exactly what he was doing and a part of. He is muslime and hates America. Always has always will.

    Been wondering about this. Whatever happened to the “civilizational jihad” as per promised by the MB. not even a single news story on that yet. OK, there’s CAIR. and hte Muslim Council of Britain, and a bunch of other advocacy agencies. Not entirely surprising if the PR departments turned out to have such links. But what of others? It was expressly stated that an aim was to infiltrate education, media, law departments, government, intelligence departments, etc. What became of it? They just haven’t bothered…or what?!

    That nice polite young lawyer intern…etc. the news reader who is such great fun at a party. … that civilised academic with the impeccable manners, who is such a fascinating conversationalist. And so forth.

    It would appeal to western vanity i think, when exotic characters from far away lands wish to share talks on philosophy and culture and law etc, in the most engaging of manners.

    Have to wonder just how much information has leaked in this fashion. I’m thinking quite a lot.

    Why did this woman have a Muslim IT aide? Obama had Jarrett. Hillary had Abedin. One is led to believe that the entire Democrat party is taking orders from Muslims.

    • AzB says

      Jul 25, 2017 at 10:23 am

      Considering its just 1% of the population, the statistics already seem a bit unlikely.

      • moeped says

        Jul 25, 2017 at 8:43 pm

        Of course they’re muslim, just like obama. I believe we were already infiltrated by mb years ago. Trump threw a wrench into all that.

    • ElderlyZionist says

      Jul 25, 2017 at 12:41 pm

      I presume that they were all Muslim Brotherhood agents, controlling various Democratic politicians who had been bought-and-paid-for with Saudi, Qatari and Emirati oil money. The Brotherhood lost big when Hillary Clinton was defeated. Thank God.

    Mueller is far too busy with his fishing expedition on the Trump family to be bothered with this and the other epidemic of DNC high crimes.

    “his two brothers and two of their wives ”

    It’s a little thing over-all, but how many wives do they have? More than one is a crime.

    wassermanshulz should move out of Florida and take all of her moslum friends with her…they could go back to pakistan and she could be over there talking nonsense.

    And the criminal moslum “desperately tried to get the hard drives back”
    Guess he thinks they belong to him. moslums believe everything belongs to them.
