Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Lawyer for Muslim Dem House IT staffer who tried to flee US blames charges on “anti-Muslim bigotry”

Jul 27, 2017 4:24 am By Robert Spencer

According to the Daily Caller News Foundation, “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. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida. Politico reported the criminal probe concerned ‘serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network.’”

And as for the idea that he was just casually going to take a trip and no one minded until anti-Muslim bigotry got the best of them, Hina Alvi, Imran Awan’s wife, “another House staff member involved in the Capitol Hill investigation, left the country with their three daughters, headed for Pakistan, in March, according to an affidavit filed in the Awan case. Alvi had ‘numerous pieces of luggage’ and more than $12,000 in cash, FBI agent Brandon Merriman wrote in the affidavit.”

A network of Muslim IT staffers with ties to the highest levels of Democratic Party leadership and to Pakistan, being investigated for “serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network,” leaving the country while under investigation, carrying large amounts of cash. Nothing to see here. It’s all just “anti-Muslim bigotry.”

“Attorney for Imran Awan: Charges are politically motivated ‘anti-Muslim bigotry,'” by Mandy Mayfield, Washington Examiner, July 26, 2017:

The attorney for a Democratic House IT staffer, Imran Awan, who was arrested on Monday over bank fraud charges, says the charges are a political move and “began as part of a frenzy of anti-Muslim bigotry in the literal heart of our democracy, the House of Representatives.”

“For months we have had utterly unsupported, outlandish, and slanderous statements targeting Mr. Awan coming not just from the ultra-right-wing ‘pizzagate’ media but from sitting members of Congress,” Christopher Gowen, Awan’s attorney said in a statement obtained by the Washington Examiner.

“The government had been informed he would travel and had stated no objection. Yet on Monday night he was hastily arrested at Dulles airport,” the statement read.

Awan, a former IT congressional staffer for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., was arrested on Monday by FBI agents Dulles International Airport while attempting to board an international flight….

    How about just for once, tell the truth, expose all those Swamp beasts, do a deal and walk, but drag Schultz, Obama and Clinton into the pit
    These people have the money to fight this, and also the backing of the dems
    More than likely will get a few hundred million dollars for getting butt hurt

    That’s an excellent photo.

    Clinton: “heh heh heh … diversity”

    I agree with Yoda completely, and who knows what is still be hidden in mosques etc.
    How is this possible!!! Aswan, you want to claim more money from the taxpayers in the USA For getting “hurt” bij the anti-milim bigots who gave you a job etc.The administrator of word fence blocked me from
    videos where muslims did horrible things to animals and other video’s, now Google Chrome is doing the same. The administrator of Wordfence has made the “conclusion” that I serve too much on those negative video’s. Who gives them the right to do so? If I wanted to do that night and day, it is my right, I think.
    Nutlike everything else, the behaviour of the worst religion has to be hidden.
    But Robert Spencer. Pamela Geller, An Cyrus and the Glazunov Gang,, and many other people,, I thank you all for your work and I don’t know Robert how you can put such article together in such short time, and so respectful, but to the point and all the people with their comments so fast and some very good ones. Keep up the good work.

    Frankly, you moron lawyer (Most likely Muslim as well,) it doesn’t matter one iota whether the CRIMINAL is black, white, purple, straight, homo, male, female, Muslim, Catholic, or midget; the FACT is that criminal activities have been committed, and justice needs to be served. Top secret information has been compromised to enemy forces, which has endangered America. So, go jump in a lake, go fly a kite, or go take advantage of yourself; your stupid excuses, and offended attitude don’t mean a thing.

      Yes their manifesto is crystal clear and easily available on the internet for anyone who wants to see it.

      The problem lies in willful blindness in politicians, police and military as well as in the left and those in academia responsible for the education of our youth.

        ……by their own hands and the hands of the believers to make god’s law (sharia) the law of the land. The document explains the mission and the U.S. was the target….gradually, incrementally migrating, building mosques and muslim organizations, sending their young men and woman to universities to achieve skill levels to find occupations in government, become lawyers and politicians, work in defense departments, schools, hospitals, businesses to appear to peaceful, deny jihad tactics when it occurs set up human rights commissions to control narratives and use media to defend and mislead. The objective or the law was ,once a muslim president get’s elected it is nearly complete…..it is land conquered now we have to be just as clever and defend out constitution and lives and most of all the truth about the plan that uses deception and fibs…that wants to silence the truth about the directives found in the Quran 47:4, 5:33, 8:12 all showing no regard for our lives. They only war to conquer.

    Democrats are the traitors for hiring this gang of islamists to run their computer systems with sensitive information contained on them.

    Who knows what secret or sensitive information has been passed to other countries which may put Americans at risk.

    It is time to execute those found guilty of subverting the security of the USA and that includes those in the democratic partywho facilitated them.

      I am sure they have all the codes, passwords, identity cards and malicious intent to do great damage. We cannot take a chance.

    Sure. the criminal moslum knew ahead of time that the law of the land…specifically targeting those who “steal, kill and destroy” a.k.a. (in this case) moslums…states that spying, theft, fraud, destruction of government property, treason, selling government documents, and obstruction…he couldn’t believe the bigotry and broke all of the rules.

    If the laws had not been written, he wouldn’t have been breaking any. That’s the lawyers reasoning…bigotry made him break the laws.

    The lawyers hired to defend the scum have no defense to offer, so it’s the same old words tossed about…racism, bigotry, and a made up phobia…

    ……………………….

    Well, *this* was predictable…

    • Joe says

      Jul 28, 2017 at 5:05 am

      It is even more predictable than you might think. The leading attack vector in IT systems for the last several years is the H1B visa. The Dems, in particular, seem to trust these foreigners with all their secrets. Their hiring practices could be placed into a “How to Get Attacked” manual. Then when they get attacked, they blame the “Russians”.
