DNC Pakistani IT ~~Spy~~ Fella Hires Hildebeest's Legal Team

2017-07-27

[Daily Caller] Chris Gowen, Imran Awan’s lawyer, is a long-time campaigner for former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a member of an attorney team that brought a fraudulent lawsuit against energy giant Chevron.

Pakistani-born Awan was arrested late Monday at Dulles Airport in Northern Virginia before he could board a flight to Qatar and then Pakistan on bank fraud charges. Awan, his younger brothers, Abid and Jamal, his wife, Hina Alvi, and Rao Abbas, his best friend, have been subjects of a federal criminal investigation led by the U.S. Capitol Police and including the FBI since February 2017.

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."

Gowen described Awan’s arrest as "clearly a right-wing media-driven prosecution by a United States Attorney’s Office that wants to prosecute people for working while Muslim."

Gowen is a founding partner of Gowen, Rhoades, Winograd and Silva law firm, with offices in Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, Penn.

#7 The MSM will largely ignore this.

The MSM will find it difficult to ignore little Debbie Downer doing the perp walk.

#6 The guy kept smashed Harddrives. I'm guessing he smashed them to prove to Hillary and company they were destroyed and then he saved them as a 'get out of jail free card' in case he got caught by US Intelligence. Otherwise the hardrives would be in the foundation of some building by now.

Really curious what is on those platters, and I suspect HIllary's people are as well which is probably why they've offered up expensive lawyers to ensure the guy never gets scared enough to cop a plea deal.

#5 The MSM will largely ignore this. They are much more concerned that Trump is discriminating against the "thousands" of transgenders in the military.

#4 I don't know if this is true but it has been widely reported. Anon sources reported that Hillary said to Donna Brazile and others after the Matt Laurer NBC interview: “If I lose, we all go down and that Fascist Fvck will have us swinging from nooses! What the fvck is wrong with you idiots?”--“You stare at the wall like a brain dead buffalo, while letting fvcking Lauer get away with this betrayal? Get the fvck to work janitoring this mess- do I make myself clear???” October, 17, 2016 "

Worth a lot. It might mean staying alive. Others have not fared too well.

#3 How much Awans not turning state's evidence in Seth Rich's murder is worth to Debbie, JQC?

#2 Asswan hires Hillary's legal team. That is a high-dollar defense. Does a Pakistani IT guy have that kind of money? I wonder where it's coming from.

Could be quite a lot riding on this one. Now back to Mueller and the Trump-Russian distraction, Mike Flynn, Jared and Ivanka, Wikileaks, Islamophobia, Global Warming, Mesican border wall.
