House Dem IT Suspects Wanted Untraceable Payments. Sure Enough, Millions Disappeared (Awan)
Daily Caller ^ | July 5 2017 | Luke Rosiak

Posted on 07/06/2017 5:59:09 AM PDT by Whenifhow

A Pakistani family under criminal investigation by the U.S. Capitol Police for abusing their access to the House of Representatives information technology (IT) system may have engaged in myriad other questionable schemes besides allegedly placing “ghost employees” on the congressional payroll.

[ ]

Yet the absence of signs of wealth displayed among them raise questions such as was the money sent overseas or did something other than paychecks motivate their actions?

[ ]

The Daily Caller News foundation interviewed multiple current and former tenants who said Imran insisted rent be paid in untraceable ways. Many of those TheDCNF interviewed about the Awans asked not to be identified for fear of suffering retaliation by the family, particularly renters to whose homes Imran has keys.

“He only wants cash — for the security deposit, everything. The mortgage is probably $600, we pay $1,800 a month,” one said.

[ ]

Cristal Perpignan, a former Awan renter, said Imran instructed her to pay the rent to Imran’s friend, Rao Abbas, who lived in the basement of the home she occupied and was also on the House payroll as an IT worker. But Perpignan said Abbas spent his days at home.

Imran’s wife purchased the home in 2008 for $470,000. A second mortgage was taken out in 2012, and — at least on paper — it was sold to Imran’s 22-year old brother Jamal in November 2016 for $620,000 — $43,000 more than its assessed value.

All but five percent of Jamal’s purchase, $589,000, was financed by the bank, according to records reviewed by TheDCNF. This means the transaction netted the family $119,000 of the bank’s money even as the house remained a rental property, without the ownership ever leaving the family.

According to Wells Fargo, people can’t use a standard mortgage for a rental property. The bank must be told of the intent to use the property as a rental, and the applicant generally is required to make a 20 percent down payment. There are no notes in property records that it was not an arms-length sale.

Well, let’s ponder this a moment. They are mooselimbs. In the past what have we discovered mooselimbs do with what they believed to be “untraceable money”...

Only a DNCenizen would be surprised that their party’s loves dodgy funding.

But, hey, they cannot accept that money is fungible anyway (it’s how they say we aren’t funding abortions) so it’s not like this cowpad has fallen far from the source.

House IT specialists? Millions?

That’s nothing. The Democratic President of the US wanted untraceable payments (i.e. $billions of pallets of cash) for the world’s biggest funder of terrorism.

So DWS was almost certainly funding spies and terrorists. (cash payments...really...).is this like the House Postal Service Scandal of old but for the benefit of Pakistani tech people/spies? Guess DWS couldn’t let Hillary have all the action.

My biggest hope is that Sessions is going very old school and keeping all of the investigations under very deep wrap. Telling the investigators that if they share one sentence with a reporter, they are out.

This is the only way I can explain the very deep black hole that Sessions has disappeared into, to include the FBI. What have we really heard from any investigations going on for awhile? From fake news or real news, there is nothing.

By the way, has Obama returned to the states yet?

More Info from article:

While the Awans had access to the emails of members of sensitive congressional committees, Abid incorporated a car dealership in Falls Church, Va., with Nasir Khattek, who operated an established car dealership next door.
Khattek later said in sworn testimony that the Abid dealership’s financial books were a sham. Abid’s dealership received $100,000 from Ali Al-Attar, an Iraqi politician who practiced medicine in the Washington, D.C. region and is a fugitive from the U.S. Department of Justice.
The dealership racked up debts to people who subsequently accused Abid of fraud, according to court documents. Abid filed bankruptcy to discharge the debts, while his family members remained untouched. Khattek testified the dealership was run as a “family business,” with Imran, not Abid, in control.
As some of Capitol Hill’s highest-paid employees, the brothers had to submit financial disclosure statements to Congress, but Abid attested that he had no liabilities. Imran checked “no” when asked whether his spouse had any income, even though she was making a top salary from the same employer reviewing the disclosure documents.
The disclosures also ask about rental income, but the Awans often listed either no or little rent payments received.
Though people in bankruptcy procedures must sell off their assets to pay creditors, Abid kept two houses by swearing he was separated or divorcing from his wife and living apart. Years later, they are still together.

***
It seems like investigations are generally kept under wraps until a an arrest is made, or some similar action. We have heard both Comey and other former prosecutors such as Gowdy stating that investigations are kept quiet.

Think about how Holder was constantly in the media talking about gun control, pushing identity politics, etc. The Trump DOJ is likely to be different.

Perhaps my take on it is not correct, and other freepers will correct it.

Don’t know if Obama has returned from overseas.

POINTS TO PONDER: Could be the clan's humongous salaries and other financial sleight of hand that is missing was used to:

<><> payoff Debbie Wassermann Schultz

<><> other democrats.....

<><> Democrat campaign donations,

<><> Democrat kickbacks, payoffs for supplying classified intel, and the like.

========================================

Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz seems to have lost all sense of history; her short-term memory and her long-term memory appear to be defunct.

<><> DNC Debbie single-handedly aided and abetted the Awan clan's massive breach of US security on Capitol Hill....in more ways than one.

<><> Significantly DNC Debbie facilitated the clan getting security clearances. Never did it enter stupid Debbie's braindead mind that Muslim Pakistani nationals were more than office help?

<><>At the DNC, Schultz masterminded the clan's remuneration package----making sure they got paid handsomely---pocketing some 5 million tax dollars as they toiled to undermine Americans' safety and security.

<><> The clan's grotesque compensation package under Schultz's DNC leadership is certainly suspicious. Might involve wire-transfer fraud, mail fraud, theft, kickbacks, money laundering and tax evasion.

<><> Schultz's former IT staffer is still listed as her "advisor."

<><> The Pakistani nationals under scrutiny by Capitol Police have since fled the country.

<><> More egregiously, the Pakistanis' ability to get State Dept visas while under criminal scrutiny is a subject of speculation.....and may involve then-Secy Hillary Clinton and then-Pres Obama.

FACTS ON FILE Cong Debbie Wasserman Schultz's "IT advisor" is a VIP in Pakistan. In Pakistan, Imran Awan introduces himself as "from the US Congress" or from federal agencies.

The Pakistan govt apparently considers Imran very important b/c of his representations about his political power in the US. Imran travels in Pakistan with a VIP police escort.

=====================================================

This could be very easy to unravel. Pres Trump, AG Sessions, and Rex Tillerson need to call in the Pakistani Ambassador for a "little chat." The Pakistani Ambassador surely knows what important issus Imran is "advising" Cong Debbie about.

Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414

========================================

(HAT TIP BOOKSHELF) Here’s how to handle it:

<><> About half of House Republicans have signed a letter urging we cut off all aid to Pakistan. They consider it a terrorist-sponsoring nation.

<><> T-Rex calls in the Paki Ambassador, and speaking privately. gives him one week to show up with Wasserman-Schultz’s Haki/Pakis.

<><> Either that or State will support adding Pak to terrorist list.

<><> When the Haki/Pakis appear in his office (as they surely would), T-Rex turns them over to Justice (not the FBI).

<><>Attny Gen then oversees the case and the FBI is given a time certain to provide evidence so they can't Mafia it out.

The poiticians who agreed to employ these enemy agents should be impeached and thrown in prison.

They are either too stupid or too corrupt and seditious to wander freely about the country.

“”A Pakistani family under criminal investigation by the U.S. Capitol Police””

Wouldn’t you think an agency with a lot more clout than the U. S. Capitol Police would be in charge of this fraud? WOW! May as well sic an Inspector General on them - they produce great reports! No action but wrapped up in a neat and tidy report.

[Go George Webb!]

For those who have not followed the story with George Webb, who has documented the meta data (Awan, Seth Rich, DNC,), this video is about “following the money”.

It was not a hack, but an internal leak. All the actions taken were to cover up the internal leak.

5:15 Minutes – Webb explains how it is all connected to the Clinton Foundation

George Webb is reporting on both and yet he is ridiculed even here ...
