Imran Awan arrested at Dulles Airport
Debbie Wasserman Schultz's IT staffer, Imran Awan was arrested this afternoon at the Dulles Airport while trying to flee the country. Awan, his two brothers along with two wives and another Pakistani, have been under investigation by the Capitol Police since February. The Awans worked for twenty Democrats in the House since 2008 or thereabouts. Most House Reps fired them upon learning of the investigation, but Wasserman Schultz kep Imran Awan on her payroll until now.
Just a day after reports emerged that the FBI had seized a number of "smashed hard drives" and other computer equipment from the residence Imran Awan, the IT aide of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, we learn that Awan has been captured at the Dulles airport while attempted to flee the country. According to Fox News, Awan has been charged with bank fraud.
This story is just the tip of the iceberg of corruption within the Democratic party and hopefully the arrest of Imran Awan, who was supposedly the ring leader of the financial scam and what I believe to be a spy ring, will finally begin to blow apart the systemic corruption that permeates not only the Democratic party, but our entire government. Zero Hedge has more on this story.
It is time to shed a bright spotlight on just this one facet of the deeply embedded corruption that festers within our government. This is only the tip of the iceberg. There are far more heinous things going on involving the Clintons and many top government officials including human trafficking, pedophilia, and illegal weapons trafficking.

gulfgal, great find! You wrote this so soon after ZeroHedge
I hereby, by the powers vested in me, by me, give you a PhD in Sleuthing from A.U.!
This now is going to intensify the Awan story, so carefully buried by the MSM. Of all the facets of this story, including trafficking, bribes, blackmail, etc. the one which should be most worrying to government is not even acknowledged, by congress critters, as far as I can tell. The major serious issue, and many are also serious issues, is the threat to national security that HAS been made and may still may be being made by these Pakistani crime family leaking illegally obtained congressional documents from congress. Weird, isn't it, that the Democrats always scream louder as the Truth emerges. Look at how obstructionist DWS was/is about getting back "her" computer from the DC Capitol police. I am starting to laugh now, because I smell blood in the water!

Capitol Police
seem to be independent in this investigation and they were the ones who first broke it. Now, the FBI (which is a shock to me) is now on it. I may be giving too much credit here, but I honestly believe Trump has something to do with this too.

Well, if he could find a way to fuck with the people who are fucking with him, I'm sure he would. (pardon my French)
But I don't, generally, think of Trump as much of a power. Still, I guess being President has to count for, well, something.

Presidential power
I definitely agree with you that Trump may not have that much power. In fact, I firmly believe that most of our recent Presidents have not had much independent power. But Trump still has the power of Twitter which he uses liberally and he has referenced this recently, hence my comment.

I wish trump was smarter
.
And had more astute advisors.
Floor example, he wants to investigate over fraud, which is next to non-existent whereas voter suppression was high on the DNC strategy list in2016.
Of course, he now has unprecedented access to voter information...
Sorry for typos etc. Still trying to figure out this tiny device.1
There is a huge disconnect
between Trump's words and his actions. I am certain that he has no interest in stopping voter suppression, or even fraud for that matter, unless of course it's used against him.

@Alligator Ed Not what I mean.
Not what I mean.
I think you know me well enough to know what I think of Hillary as a candidate.
The point is, she cheated her way to the nomination, and I see no reason why she wouldn't try to cheat her way all the way into the White House, especially since her people must have known that her numbers were horrible and that the relative horror the public had for her and Trump was running neck-and-neck. So why were they so confident?
Because they knew they could cheat.
So if they could successfully commit election fraud and have no one hold them accountable for it (which we all know is the case)--how in the hell did they lose? The system was rigged--for them. How did they lose?
They lost because there were people on the other side countering their digital rigging with hacks of their own.
Either that, or Hillary inexplicably decided to play it straight after she'd secured the Democratic nomination through fraud.

I think the Hillary camp
honestly believed that they would beat Trump. They built a bubble and ignored evidence that they were losing the heartland. I remember reports from last fall wherein even Bill himself was sounding alarms, yet he was ignored and side-lined by Podesta and Mook, who had all of the answers.
Their own hubris destroyed them, and they thought that the electorate's better angels would select Hillary in the end. It seems that as dumb as we are, we're still smarter than they thought we were.
"Obama promised transparency, but Assange is the one who brought it."
@dervish So you mean,
So you mean, she didn't cheat because she couldn't conceive that she would have to. I'd believe that of her, but if her advisors also believed it for reals, that drives my respect for them even lower. It was already through the floor. I think now it's tunneling toward the earth's core.
I won't go into how it's the job of political advisors to assess the data and see the difference between what their candidate would like to believe, what the political messaging is, and what's true, and form their strategies accordingly, but it is, dammit.
Why do I care--I didn't want her in office anyway--but I hate seeing people get paid big bucks and their asses kissed wherever they go, when they're not only evil but also incompetent at their jobs.

They absolutely were. But that's the messaging, for the masses. There should be an awareness among insiders, behind closed doors, that there's a difference between their propaganda and the factual truth.

Another potential scenario
How about this idea?
The other part of this equation is who was doing the cheating? Perhaps the rigging was being done by forces outside of both campaigns. That would explain the vote rigging in the primaries for Hilary versus Bernie, but Hillary's unexpected loss to Trump. Perhaps the PTB saw they could just as easily work with or around Trump rather than having to carry Hillary's voluminous and very heavy baggage.
I really do not know, but it is just another idea for what it is worth.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." ~ President John F. Kennedy
@gulfgal98 I've seen
I've seen this idea once or twice, but I'm afraid the Deep State's actions toward Trump post-election make it impossible for me to believe (unless other data come out). Here's the thing: of course they could do a kabuki attack on Trump post-election, but removing Flynn and leaking information on the White House to the press doesn't look like a kabuki attack. It could be, but it's not how it smells to me.
Linking the possible removal of Trump to the justification for war with Russia makes me near-certain that the Deep State didn't want Trump in there. Unless their desire to start a new Cold War, or more probably a hot one, is also kabuki.

You and gulfgal98
are such great writers here, (I'm so glad the Tour de France is over so gulfgal98 is back! and I say this as a fan of le Tour,) but what seems true to me is that Hillary won big, 4 million votes big. What the Democrats lost to was the Electoral College. But they don't want to rid the country of the Electoral College because it works for them when it works for them.
I think they lost to the Labor vote, basically. They were never going to be able to address that because they don't go there. They're not a Labor party anymore. They didn't campaign in those key areas of the country constituted by Labor, the people who work to make things and maintain things and repair things, who grow our food and care for our children. The Democratic Party now represents finance and high tech. So this time the Electoral College worked out to represent Labor. Sometimes it represents Reagan ranchers. But this time it represented the rust belt and disenfranchised workers. Tough shit. And thank heavens!
@Linda Wood I don't
I don't make this argument because, when we made it for Gore, we were essentially told to accept the world as we find it.
But also, I feel pretty much at sea as far as what the actual vote totals were, because when there's so many known cheaters and people likely to be cheaters involved, I no longer know what to trust.
These are the people who stopped doing exit polls because the polls uncovered data they didn't like.

Oh, absolutely
I agree with you. I have had serious doubts about the integrity of our voting system since the 1972 election. And I hope I'm clearly on record here as having said I think it's possible Seth Rich was the Wikileaks leaker, but I also think it's even more likely he was murdered because he may have been a potential witness in a lawsuit about exit polling in the 2016 primaries, a lawsuit filed just after his death.

@Cant Stop the Macedonian Signal
I hope you'll pardon (yet) more speculation triggered by your post?
TPTB, et al, can do a lot to undermine, weaken and threaten Trump for manipulative purposes - but would this have worked so well on Hillary and the State Department, etc. fully loaded with Her supporters at that point?
Hillary couldn't even let her campaign advisers be right in Her (set-up-for-success, this blessedly not working for the Presidential races) campaigns because her Always Knows Better What Suits Herself, even in the face of a very grim reality for the entire planet, which Her doesn't seem to realize even Exceptional Her needs, to live at all, Clinton-World forming only a very small and destructive part of it rabidly blood-sucking the rest.
Is anyone going after Trump in urging official investigation into anything real, or just RUSSIA!!!-type propaganda stuff? Seems to me they're likely keeping him on the ropes to soften him up... and that the targeted countries realize they need to keep their guard up and watch for infections aimed against their defenses.
Flynn was one of those advisors supplied by the billionaire who was considered instrumental in getting Trump in, (although I cannot quite get his name past the tip of my tongue, over which not even a full cup of coffee has yet passed, that being a favorite excuse of mine) and this evidently is, essentially, a battle of billionaires and other self-interest groups for the ownership of the spreading global Mafia they form, using the military and other resources of Americans and multiple other countries bled for this purpose.
And I also entertain suspicions that it's likely these different self-interest groups each working toward often (if not always) similar goals but whatever they individually feel would suit them, personally, best, which makes it exceedingly difficult at times to work out the (possibly varied/stymied/redirected) purpose(s) of the tangled mess resulting.
It's this pathologically greedy corporate/billionaire Mafia that has to go, not just their political front-men and those 'direct-rule' billionaires moving into government, of course.
But the global hegemony intent is real, and Trump/Her-Turn-Loss does seem to me to be used for that purpose, although I do have hope for a balance of global-life-saving power to be achieved by the union of TPTB's-long-targeted-for-invasion/attack/nuking countries making trade and defensive alliances.
Obviously, I speak as One Who Knows Nothing to Those Who Know A Lot More Than I Ever Will, but since my mouth sometimes seems to be the only functional part of me, it goes off a lot...

@Ellen North Of course
Of course you're right about the front-puppets being front-puppets, but apparently it does matter somewhat who "wins" because the establishment is throwing an actual shit-fit about it, at least in my view.
If Hill had gotten in there, yes, she might have insisted on her own way, but since her way is pro-Likkud, pro-KSA, and anti-Russian--in fact her way is basically outlined in PNAC's manifesto--and since she has no squeamishness about starting (or escalating?) World War III, to possibly nuclear levels, I don't think the PTB would have had any worries about that.
Also, I think they would really love President Pence.

Lol, speaking as One Who Still Knows Nothing But Has Her Speculators And Running On A lot, yeah, I'd doubt that they initially wanted the Bridge Troll permitted in order to stop Progressives from progressing by very obviously allowing no real choice to American voters and leading the Clintons to think they had it in the bag just by being on the poisoned ballot - but I still personally think that Trump was the less-immediate evil and suspect that certain of the TPTB may have decided this as well.
Neither Corporate Party candidate was/is reliably controllable or reasonable, but no sane, reasonable person would go along with the objectives evidently demanded, and Trump seems much easier to redirect than the Giant Inflated-Ego Queen Who Cannot Be Held Accountable For Any Wrong And Can Do As Her Pleases Or Else Comes A Corporate Interest/Billionaire-Backed Tantrum With Scattered Showers Of Bodies.
And you are, of course, so right that they'd probably love President Pence, who I also suspect was likely selected for Trump as back-up, in case - even though I gather that the other fundamentalist religious fanatics installed in various other people's governments never really seem to work out quite the way the self-appointed 'king-makers' had hoped, having different agendas quite beyond profiting The Right People.
But maybe I just think this because I'm currently unable to watch any of the posted videos (no speakers, wretched connection, computer issues) and continue to miss a lot of information...

@Ellen North Hey,
Hey, you're not saying anything that isn't plausible and logical. It's just that it looks to me like the establishment has practically had an addiction to Hillary Clinton.
I thought they were going to pull a fast one and replace her at the convention with Joe Biden. If they had, there would have been an outcry about democracy, but I think it would have drowned under the American people's profound relief that they didn't have to vote for Hillary or Trump. And Biden would have gone along with the establishment, at least I don't see anything to suggest he wouldn't.
The issue for me has been for months: why they hell did they have to pick her to be their corrupt shill when they had their pick, and all they'd need against Donald Trump is some reasonable-looking person in an expensive suit who understood how to do the basics of campaign politics and wasn't already hated by a significant portion of the American people AND had a clear pattern of becoming less and less popular the more she spoke.
Talk about a bad purchase!

If I may suggest one more potential option: suppose that The Psychopaths That Be decided that Hillary was, perhaps, too lunatic/nuke-happy or too unreliable and egocentric to be controllable/to keep from bragging in public about the wrong things - even next to Trump - to be The Coronated One and switched to Trump without telling Her?
And perhaps more among them have increasingly realized that destroying the planet's ability to support life as immediately as I suspect Her would have would not be good for their own business investments or their own happiness, health and longevity - not to mention that once the global economy's gone, their monetary wealth becomes meaningless data-dots/paper/metal bars, etc.

Yeah,
I think this is kind of it. I think people like Tillerson have begun to realize that the Neocon crazies really want to have a nuclear war because they think it would be exciting and devastating and overwhelmingly powerful, generating universal shock and awe. The fact that there would be no one left to be in awe doesn't occur to them.
So I think, yes, powerful industrialists like Tillerson, who have understood the military industrial budget served to underwrite everything they did, now see the Neocons as actual monsters who could destroy life on earth.

Lol, they evidently don't think in terms of 'hiding', they think in terms of 'divine right to do as they please and have everyone mindlessly support them in it, to their own destruction'.
What DWS's doing, in that Clinton-typical demand that law enforcement itself publicly bend to her commands, reveals possibly more even than the (edit: devices and data) will and shows how desperately all of that self-interested and destructive corruption needs to be scraped out of everywhere.

Why would that many democrats start using
the Iwan brother's services in the first place? Wouldn't they have gone with an American IT department instead of a foreign one? This makes no sense to me.
This part of the article would be on every news website and of course Rachel if the republicans had used their services and they had done this to the RNC:
The media has been ignoring all the information about the DNC computers and Crowdstrike being the only company that was allowed to look into the 'hacks'. The FBI was refused the opportunity to look at their computers.
The owner of Crowdstrike is an anti-Russian Ukrainian who has dubious interests and again, why the interest with going with foreign companies to run their website?
Something stinks with all of this.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
From a neutral observer's perspective
none of this makes sense. I honestly do not understand how foreign nationals are able to have access to the computers of House Reps serving on Foreign Relations committees and similar ones. These people, all Pakistani nationals, had direct access to the data on the Blackberries and computers of twenty Democratic members of the House.
This leads me to believe (and based upon other reporting) that the Awans are in cahoots with criminal elements of our government, many of who are elected officials. DWS is not a victim. She is a perpetrator. And she is not at the top of the totem pole either.
The bottom line for me is what has been going on has no relationship to governments or allegiances other than to that of money and power. It is a crime syndicate and the Clintons and John Podesta are at the heart of it.

DWS is not a victim. She is a perpetrator.
And there's this from the article:
And who has been the most loyal of all - keeping him on the payroll? DWS. Makes me think Awan has dirt on her.
BTW, I think the article got updated about 45 minutes ago to add the part about the Awan brothers essentially holding their stepmother in captivity in order to extort her for money she had stashed away in Pakistan.
Let's look at it that way
Say Imran Awan had dirt on DWS. Did he have dirt on her before or after she hired him? Is her first allegiance to her oath of office or to someone or something else? If Awan had dirt on her and that is why she continued to support him and keep him on her payroll after Feb. when the Capitol police began their investigation and removed their clearances and she kept him on her payroll until his arrest yesterday, then is not DWS complicit in a crime? If it turns out that the Awans were spies, is or is not DWS a partner to spying and is that not treason? I know it is a reach, but to me, regardless of her personal circumstances, she was complicit to a part or all of what they were doing.

Definitely the Awans had something unflattering to DWS
to say the least. Your question is partially answered in my opinion:
The Awan gang definitely had dirt on DWS after she employed them--and perhaps they had dirt on her from before that. But this would be going back to 2004 when Imran was first hired. So what mischief was Darling Debbie involved in then? I don't know.
My own thought
is that DWS hired Awan to dog up dirt on however many congressmen as possible by pressuring them to use the blackberries and laptops and tech support supplied by the Awans.
That alone is dirt on DWS but the plan backfired on her and they probably have much more and worse on her.
Imo it is all about blackmail.

Debbie was pushing for a bill that helped payday loan sharks.
You know who runs a lot of those loan sharks?
Wow. Is this getting more literal than I thought?

Debbie does drop dirt in big, obvious globs wherever she travels, doesn't she? No wonder she and the Clintons stick together in clumps...
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
Clumps, like the sort
that are found in pig sties, and stick to the bottom of boots.

Exactly! Except that these fertilize only more corruption.

You are right that this doesn't make any sense
to let the Anwan family have access to those people's computers.
This article talks about numerous topics.
One is of the murder of Beranton Whisenant "federal prosecutor Beranton J. Whisenant Jr. was found dead on a beach in Miami, Florida, having been murdered in cold blood. According to the Miami Herald, the 37-year-old had just joined the Miami U.S. Attorney’s Office in January, and was assigned to investigate cases of visa and passport fraud.", the congress members who allowed them to have access to their computers (did they have the security clearances to look at the congress member's information?) and if their passports were obtained legally and if so, who helped them get them and why?
And this article expands on the one you posted. It has much more information and speaks about ties to terrorists.
Awan Brothers Scandal Creates Fears About Scope Of Data Leak
I recommend reading both of these articles.
Thanks for this essay. This could have severe repercussions if this information gets past the gatekeepers.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
I didn't see the significance of this paragraph
Just the fact that this happened is staggering! The that the Awan family, a foreign family, was able to see possible classified data from our congressional leaders and whomever they corresponded with should be the news of the century.
Imagine if this family were Russian and they did this to the Trump family and administration members.
SMDH!

Yes!
This is just one of the many things about this case that makes me believe that there is more to this than just a bunch of Pakistanis spying on poor Congress critters who were too afraid because they were being blackmailed. Again, DWS is not a victim, but is a perpetrator in this scandal. I believe she knew exactly what the Awans were doing. And if the investigation is allowed to proceed, I think we will see a connection to the Clintons in this scheme. I also believe that if the investigation is allowed to proceed, we will find that a number of seemingly unrelated recent deaths are connected to this criminal enterprise. Whisenant's murder is the most obvious, but there are others, particularly recent suicides, that are not so obvious.

Lol, it's not as though national security has been a priority among people such as, for example, former Secretary of State Clinton and the US State Department, etc., which remained staffed by Clinton supporters under Obama. Probably virtually everybody with even minor curiosity and hacking capabilities - except, of course, the general American public - has been able to easily access information which in many cases should have been made available to the American public because involving corruption...
I guess perhaps they feel that since the cat's out of the bag anyway (and I have wondered for some time about the possibility of Bibi/Likud blackmail of successive American governments over a lengthy period) as long as the American public doesn't know and can be conned by Big Lies carried and endlessly repeated by the Clinton-concentrated corporate media self-interests and other purchased/suborned propaganda outlets, just continually drain them for the poop cover-up and freely litter the Earth with it all?
(I haz a potential theory or 6 for every occasion. And extremely blatant corruption has indeed become an 'entitlement' issue for certain factions.)

Too many American patriots leaking, at the risk of their lives in one sense or another, for their country, democratic ideals and fellow-citizens. Foreign nationals won't have that particular issue.

I believe Alligator Ed had an article on this stuff way back
it's a very complicated story.

Yes, you are right and
Alligator Ed and I had been exchanging pms about this scandal. Generally, we have agreed on nearly everything. The problem has been that after the Awans had disappeared, other scandals have erupted. I think many of them are related. This is not a scandal in isolation IMHO, but part of a bigger crime syndicate.

@gulfgal98 I think so too. The air
I think so too. The air around DWS is so putrid it stands out even from the general stink.
