“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 an affidavit obtained by TheDCNF.
Imran Awan, a Pakistani-born IT aide, had access to all emails and files of dozens of members of Congress, as well as the password to the iPad that Wasserman Schultz used for Democratic National Committee business before she resigned as its head in July 2016.
In March, his wife Hina Alvi, who also was on the House payroll, withdrew her children from school and left the country, the affidavit says… “U.S. Customs and Border Protection conducted a search of Alvi’s bags immediately prior to her boarding the plane and located a total of $12,400.00 in U.S. cash inside…
Soon after Imran began working for Wasserman Schultz in 2005, four of his relatives appeared on the payroll of other Democrats at inflated salaries, but Democratic staffers said they were rarely seen at work. They collected $4 million in taxpayer salaries since 2009…
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…
… his own stepmother, a devout Muslim, filed court documents accusing him of using high-tech devices to wiretap her and extorting her (see p. 23 of court documents in that case). A dozen people who have dealt with Imran painted a picture in interviews with TheDCNF of a charming, “cunning” extrovert who bragged about his power among Democratic officials and who seemed to have an unquenchable thirst for cash…
Bill Miller, spokesman for the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, told TheDCNF that Awan “was arraigned today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on one count of bank fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1344. He pled not guilty and was released pursuant to a high-intensity supervision program. The conditions of release are that he receive a GPS monitor, he abide by a curfew of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and that he not leave a 50-mile radius of his residence in Virginia…
Notice who is bulletproof. The guy playing the intel game who knew the government’s secrets. He was wiretapping his own mother. If she had a computer, it was compromised too. And there could easily have been more tech deployed nobody has found yet.
Where did he get the equipment and training? It is possible he was using low-tech Ebay gear and info he found online, but how many people go from amateur to wiretapper without training – and then end up having access to the House IT system? I would be shocked if he were not a foreign spook, or at least an asset of foreign intel. For that matter, he might also be an asset of US intel as well. Most mobsters today are supposed to be FBI informants too, and they say the prisons have more spies for the government than DC. In that game, playing all sides is only the smart way to play.
This guy was hip deep in the intel game, and because of that he probably knows stuff about how government works, and what government is doing, and that has given him leverage – or made him a target. We still don’t know, and he might not either. But I will bet it is why he is walking free.
Either he is going to disappear and escape overseas in short order (if that is what the Deep State wants), or he will be dead very soon. I would not place any bets on him going to trial.

I’m betting he dies in police custody within a week or two.
