Imran Awan Gets No Jail Time For Bank Fraud

I am too disgusted for words. Americans can do more time than this on a misdemeanor charge.
Imran Awan Gets No Jail Time For Bank Fraud
Embattled former Democrat IT aide Imran Awan gets no jail time in connection with federal bank fraud charges.
Instead, a D.C. judge sentenced the 38-year-old to timed served plus three-months supervised release.
Awan pleaded guilty in July to lying on a home loan application. The plea deal guaranteed charges against his wife would be dropped.

Tuesday’s sentencing is not related to any of his work on Capitol Hill.

I truly do not know what to say beyond we are totally screwed. Who is pulling the strings here? This is a total miscarriage of justice.

The apparent sentencing leniency is foreplay
Judging by the horrendous verdict alone, this is less than a slap on the wrist. But it is certain to me (99.9999%) that such leniency comes with a price. That price being a full disclosure of DWS's Spygate. One more thing impresses me is that Mr. Awan's remaining tenure on Planet Earth is less than the half-life of democratic snowflakes. How soon the TPTB decide the enactment of his punishment will be determined, in part, by any on-coming ferocity unleashed by Huber's army.
Possibly, the shame of his conviction
will weigh so heavily upon his psyche he will commit suicide. As we all know, depression is the #1 cause of suicide.
He may have been safer in jail - for his 'mental health' of course.
Isn't his father a CIA operative in Pakistan
...or some such twisted complication? He spent hundreds of hours uploading to Pakistan from Capitol Hill. God only knows how bad this really is. You never hear a peep about Pakistan anymore as they cozy up to China. But who can blame them?
Carry a flame and share the light.

Good memory
Yes his father does have some connection to the CIA. I'll see if I can find the article about him and how he's playing with the CIA. But there have been so many shenanigans happening since things started coming out I have bookmarks everywhere. It hard to organize them on my iPad.

He also worked on the House computers
remotely while he was in Pakistan.

Okay get this...
If I was younger I would ‘shake the dust’ from my feet and find somewhere else to live. Iceland sounds like the only sane place left on this planet. But I don’t think they allow immigration. But I could be wrong.

Wow! This is beyond unbelievable
This article has more information about this and this statement from the judge is ludicrous!
What were the charges against him?
Umm no. There were definitely many more charges made against him, but it looks like that room where history is corrected has been busy.
Utter Hogwash! This again confirms that the justice system in this country is dead.
I looked for other sources for this and your essay is listed. CNN and WP headlines say the same thing, but both say that it's a debunked conspiracy theory. Of course.
ETA
CNN has this.
Dead Dead Dead. Beyond Dead!

I give up. There is NO justice in America
anymore. Our kids and grandkids are going to grow up in a country like the one we always said was corrupt, the USSR.
The Intelligence Community and the sleazy politicians who are actually supposed to REPRESENT us are actually helping all this happen.
We are soooooo freaking screwed.

And yet
We are still being subjected to Russia Russia Russia Russia interfered with the election Let's say that Russia did hack the DNC computers and gave the information to Wikileaks. The information that was supposedly hacked happened to be the truth right? Hillary and the DNC did rig the primary against Bernie. But what the Awans were originally accused of doing was far worse.
I'd dust my feet off with you if I was younger. Tired of this two tiered justice system in this #%*$@ country!

They ALWAYS deflect from what the leaks
SAY and who wrote them with these claims about Russia.

I don't much care about the fraud charges
And yes, this is a very light sentence. Just like his boss and all Her minions (except for Seth Rich and the other dead ones), he won't do time for any of the actually heinous crimes committed. They're untouchable.
This whole fraud thing was a farce from the beginning. Prosecutor is DWS's brother, IIRC. His office or the Sheriff or someone in authority handed the server in question over to the defense, again IIRC. A big game.
Kind of reminds me of the whole Russian Collusion bs, only to net some unrelated charges against various players who are close the prez. Sure wish we could see just how many of the investigators and prosecutors are guilty of the exact same financial crimes they are investigating and prosecuting, in both situations.
He skated on a felony. He & family accessed
Government computers thousands of times.
I care about the bank fraud, that’s a serious felony.
You or I wouldn’t get such a sweetheart deal like this guy got.

Of course we wouldn't
This guy, and his entire group are guilty of far more serious crimes than bank fraud. And yes, we would be locked up for a very long time for bank fraud, even to a lesser degree than his. He and his group are untouchable. This is the worst that will happen.
The government and "judicial" system doesn't care what crimes this snake committed for Her Heinous. I guess they felt they had to convict him of something, and let him be the sacrificial lamb, for some reason.
Have any info on the crooked connections of the judge to say, The Clinton Crime Foundation? Maybe another relative of some DNC slime ball? It just seems so over the top, and yet easy, we have to be missing something.
I'm with you on wanting to leave this place. I have a friend in Europe, and I'm planning to go visit next summer (hopefully), and check out a possible job lead. I'll probably never see my mother alive again if I do, though. My kids, though grown, will still be here. It's tough, but I'm seriously beginning to hate what this country has become. Or maybe it always was.
IIRC Awan is being represented by a lawyer who has
connections to the Clintons crime family. Or was that someone else who is going to be skating on the charges against them? There has been so much happening since Her declared that she was running that I'm having a very difficult time keeping track of things.
Just the fact that DWS' brother was involved in this case goes against normal standards and he should have recused himself and been nowhere near it.
For gawd's sake. The Awans family had access to close to 30 congress member's' computer information for how many years? Or is that decades? Didn't gulfgal think that they were either connected to or were being protected by the CIA? Pakistan is a foreign country right? How would it benefit from receiving congressional information? I can think of many ways. And yet the judge said that people had been mean to the Awans. Just unbelievable.

I thought you said it
I know it was here at c99, and I know On the Cusp commented on the thread. It was either you or Amanda or Pluto or gulfgal (lol that narrows it down), who linked to and quoted an article that said her bro was the prosecutor. OtC commented about how turning over the server would have cost a DA and/or sheriff their job, even down here in good-ole-boy Texas.
The judges words are why I'm questioning her connections. What judge in this country would give two shits about how people treated a defendant, let alone say it publicly? She's trying to sway people. Hell, even when a person is innocent, have you ever heard of one even mention anything like that? She's married to, related to or owes someone. I just don't know who/what.
Wasn’t me

Extraordinary indeed
Meanwhile Awan skates on who knows how many federal crimes? And bank CEOs are still stuffing their wallets with money instead of rotting away in prison.
DEAD!
ETA.
Cohen pleading guilty to campaign fraud might be a big deal for Trump if Cohen can tie him to the campaign fraud. Meanwhile shit like this happens almost daily anymore.

It's over.
And it might be.
But we've been here a zillion times before.
And Hacked or Leaked wasn't even mentioned.

Awan
is obviously too big to fail in the limelight.
Once back in the shadows, a whole different story......
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Of course some people are saying that they flipped
and are spilling the beans on the Clintons cabals, but I think that is just wishful thinking. People are trying to come up with something to explain how they got off.
Scientists are concerned that conspiracy theories may die out if they keep coming true at the current alarming rate.
Probably in return for keeping
their mouth shut. They were in a position to tell DWS what was going on with the other Dems. DWS protected them like they were her own children.
What do you mean?
You think it was DWS? As in HRC henchman or something else?
I think he means that the Awans got off because they
flipped and are going to be witnesses against others who were involved in the DNC rigging or some other issues. This is what I've seen others saying. That this isn't over yet. Who knows? I think that people are just so gawd damned shocked that he got such a light sentence and that it looks like the judge had been corrupted. As Deja stated when has any judge said something like that? Kabuki in every corner.

I phrased it wrong
I think Awan was used to spy on the 44 Dems they had worked for. In addition, they impersonated at least 15 other House members and the Democratic Caucus. Hillary and her lieutenant DWS demanded complete control of the entire DNC AND the party. The Awans also had access to Hillary's private server. They had the ability to copy tens of thousands documents.
This was why DWS kept Awan close. He knew too much. He is the only one who can blow the whistle on her, and by extension, Hillary. DWS and cohorts had to protect Awan from jail time. Frankly, I think Awan will eventually disappear from the face of the earth unless he can sneak away to Pakistan. Could be help from FBI/CIA/DOJ in covering up this breach.
Full story with extensive background information:
Ah, okay n/t
IMO
Awan is not going to be talking . I still believe that he is a CIA asset. This is also related to the Clintons . His attorney was Bill Clinton's personal attorney .
This is a good example of just how corrupt our country is .

The Judge. Wow.
There was a plea bargain, all the judge had to do was accept or reject it without comment
I HAVE NEVER HEARD A JUDGE SYMPATHIZE WITH A DEFENDENT before, during, or after sentencing, ESPECIALLY in a plea bargain, ESPECIALLY about accusations not before the court.
There was absolutely no need for comment.
NONE.
Judges sign death warrants and life without parole routinely. Without comment, although they disclose to me the can't sleep at night for having done it.
Comments are routinely about the sanctity of the jury finding.
This was a damn plea bargain.
And for anyone out there who thinks pbs are bad, or the result of lazy or overworked defense lawyers, you are really misinformed. They eliminate risk, and are an art form. While I bow to the absolute greatness of the damn Awan defense attorney, just fucking WOW, wish I had that notch in my belt, what I cannot absorb as legally necessary was the judge's statement.
An invitation to ct.
Why?
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." ---- William Casey, CIA Director, 1981
The plea bargain also immunized Awan
from a host of other possible charges on any vaguely related matters. It was a big wet kiss for Awan, and a big FU to all the so called “conspiracy theorists” who have found ample reason to believe that the bank fraud charges were the tamest of multiple infractions with clear connections to some big time DC VIP’s.
It stinks.

I have not read that.
In fact, I have done no research on this.
My focus has been on the judge, life time,
that never faces election opponent.
Ever.

Great comment!
You hit the proverbial nail on the head .
This smacks of the same kind of immunity deals given to Hillary ,Huma, Cheryl Mills ,etc by the FBI in the email investigation . Everyone got immunity and everyone walked .

Thanks for weighting in on the judge
Her statement was so wacky and out of line. I wonder if she had been threatened or something that made her say that? Yes this is going into CT territory, but it's just so weird that she said it.
I've heard that the judge in the Manafort case has been threatened and that the FBI or CIA can frame judges if they don't tow the line. Remember that Schumer told Trump not to cross the intelligence agencies. People took that as a threat.

It WAS a threat. Schumer knew what the
Would happen if Trump didn’t cool his jets. He didn’t so they went after everybody around him to get ‘dirt’ the could use against him.

To read more about the Awans,
take a look at the extensive reporting below by Luke Rosiak:
Yup. Nothing to see here
Good grief! This information just makes the judgement much worse IMO. How he could have been found not guilty is just mind boggling. This is so unbelievable it just begs people to come up with conspiracy theories about it.
The Q followers are saying, "trust the plan." What plans? Q also said that there would be no plea deals. Well Michael Cohen just made one that looks like it's going to screw Trump big time unless he has no proof to back his statements up. Then it would be a "he said, he said" boondoggle.

Wow! This is a must read article
Let's switch the Awans' nationality from Pakistani to Russian. How freaked out would Rachel be if she had covered that scenario?
