FBI Says ‘Awan Brothers’ Hard Drives Were Smashed After Confiscated

Reports of the FBI seizing computer hard drives form the home of the congressional IT director and aide of Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz are accurate, according to FBI sources: with the exception of one major detail. The computer hard drives were not damaged when they were confiscated, FBI sources said.

The FBI, who is working in some capacity to assist with the Capitol Police on the Awan investigation, confirm the hard drives and other computer equipment have been damaged but are pointing the finger at the Capitol Police’s chain of custody with the evidence. The FBI, they said, would not damage evidence and stressed if someone went to the trouble of destroying evidence before a seizure they normally would discard of it as well, federal sources said.

Capitol Police officials would not respond to requests for comment.

The computer drives and equipment are linked to the Awan Brothers and Wasserman herself, according to law enforcement sources and media reports.

From the Daily Caller:

Pakistani-born Imran Awan, long-time right-hand IT aide to the former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman (Wasserman), has since desperately tried to get the hard drives back, the individual told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.

A high-level 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.

Journalist George Webb reported several weeks ago the Wasserman-linked computer hard drives had been seized as part of the Awan investigation. But there was never any mention the drives were physically altered. That would give additional credence to the FBI’s account that the drives were in good physical condition at the time of the seizure.

It feels like we are in a slo-mo time stop waiting for it all to hit

I'm waiting for the excuse that the corruption is so deeply rooted that it's "too big to charge."

I'm expecting people to say with a straight-face that the government would collapse if they charged everyone who was involved, so they will just accept promises to never do it again and let everyone keep their ill-gotten elite gains.

My first thought as well.

It is no wonder Trump has trouble getting things done. The corrupt tentacles of the democrat party reach into so many organizations, including multiple law enforcement and “justice” organizations.

Capitol Police answer to the US Congress, and have jurisdiction wherever a Congressman goes (in the US).

The Dims are always going on about their love of Multi Culture-ism....and all the wealthy ones want to go live in France.

So how about to hire these guys to drain the swamp....looks like those Axe's would work just great in breaking down doors and knocking the locks off filing cabinets

French Foreign Legion for those in Rio Linda

I reckon that there are good FBI agents that are extremely upset with it all.

I'm really beginning to wonder whether they're all just partisan democrat operatives. Doesn't seem to be anyone who wants to right the ship at the FBI and it's a screwed up mess.

Just goes to show you. Anything the democrats touch they corrupt to the hilt. We have a lot more to do than just drain the swamp. Much much more to do.

confirm the hard drives and other computer equipment have been damaged but are pointing the finger at the Capitol Police’s chain of custody with the evidence.

The plot thickens. People need to go to jail for destruction of evidence.

The swamp is proving to be deeper and wider than even I thought. I knew it was bad but this bad?

The blatantly illegal things Obama routinely got away with should have given us a good idea about how bad was the swamp. He only got away with the illegal things that he did because the deep state protected him.

The obama admin must have literally spent 8 years replacing everyone in every branch of government and upper military with leftists.

The coup already happened.
