FBI Seized Smashed Hard Drives From Wasserman-Schultz IT Aide’s Home - UPDATE: arrested trying to flee the country

FBI agents seized smashed computer hard drives from the home of Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s information technology (IT) administrator, according to an individual who was interviewed by Bureau investigators in the case and a high level congressional source.

 

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, the individual told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.

The congressional source, 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.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said in March that the Capitol Police are “getting the kind of technical assistance they need to do that. This is under an active criminal investigation, their capabilities are pretty strong but, they’re also able to go and get the kind of help they need from other sources.”

The brothers’ stepmother independently filed court documents in Virginia accusing the brothers of wiretapping and extorting her.

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.

Any mention of Russians?

They are not a bright group of individuals are they? Smashing a computer or hard drive does not get rid of data you are trying to hide. The FBI has ways of recovering data even on partially burned hard drives. Wonder what they are trying to hide. First threatening DC police. Now this.

I have long suspected that these guys were up to no go when I heard that they suddenly skipped town to go to Pakistan after the election. But what struck me as odd is the following: 

 

"“I don’t know what they have, but they have something on someone. It’s been months at this point” with no arrests, said Pat Sowers, who has managed IT for several House offices for 12 years. “Something is rotten in Denmark.”

A manager at a tech-services company that works with Democratic House offices said he approached congressional offices, offering their services at one-fourth the price of Awan and his Pakistani brothers, but the members declined. At the time, he couldn’t understand why his offers were rejected but now he suspects the Awans exerted some type of leverage over members."

 

Also this as well is a red flag to me:

"One Democratic IT staffer said Awan “would come in and only help the member — he’d tell me this — because staff come and go. There was one staffer whose computer was broken and said, ‘I’m not going to pay my invoices until you fix my computer,’ and Imran went to the member, and they fired [the staffer who complained] that day. Imran has that power.”"

It looks like stuff got real today and Imran Awan got arrested for banking fraud.

OMG Surely Debbie's days are numbered.

Strange how some investigations are slam dunk, prison time arrests, but others with even more information available are nothing burgers. Guess it is just a matter of who is being investigated.

That was the one. The obvious one.

I agree to a extent.

Read what was quoted in the OP, I fail to see any evidence that she is involved in any way. Seems like this guy and his family may have been using his job, which grants him high level access, to break laws. Is there any evidence that DWS knew what they were doing?

No, there is no evidence that DWS knew what he was doing. But it is very suspicious when DWS actually gets mad and threatens a police officer in order to try and get a laptop back that he had and it was hers. It is just very weird actually for her to do that.
