VIDEO: Imran Awan’s Attorney’s Epic Meltdown: Slams Trump, Offers to Sell Case Evidence to Reporter for Cash, Calls Marine a Criminal
Imran Awan’s attorney Chris Gowen is not the brightest bulb in the shed.
The attorney snapped Thursday, unleashed an epic meltdown that could jeopardize his client’s scheduled plea hearing on July 3.
Unglued is not a strong enough word to describe Gowen’s rant, triggered by Crowdsource the Truth editor Jason Goodman who recorded the phone call.
Gowen likely crossed the legal line, offering to sell Goodman evidence in the Awan case for $1,000. That offer came after Goodman declined to wager the same fee against Gowen to which Goodman responded asking the lawyer in the high-profile Awan case if he was a bookie.
Gowen, who previously worked for Bill Clinton, continued to spiral out of control:
“You all think Donald Trump is the hero,” he blurted out. “We’ll show you what Trump (inaudible).”
Gowen accused former U.S. Marine Andre Taggart — who notified the FBI after finding a box of Congressional Blackberry phones linked to Imran Awan — of being a criminal.
“I was totally shocked that a lawyer would twice try to entrap me in a $1000 interstate wager and try to sell me evidence,” Goodman said. “Is that even legal?”
The entire interview is noteworthy, if for no other reason than to listen to a defense lawyer descend into madness. But factually, Gowen remains quite challenged throughout.
But then again, who needs facts when your client is friends with the Clintons, the judge was appointed by Obama, the prosecutor is the brother of Congresswoman Deborah Wasserman Schultz who hired Awan and is linked to a House hacking scandal, and the crooked FBI investigated the case.
In fact, when a case is this rigged, you don’t even need a competent defense attorney.
K....
I would call this guy stupid but, that would be redundant, since he already knows....
I see...setting the groundwork to appeal the conviction due to incompetent counsel.
““I was totally shocked that a lawyer would twice try to entrap me in a $1000 interstate wager and try to sell me evidence,” Goodman said. “Is that even legal?”
I expect this idiot to be removed from the Bar. Thank you President Trump for making libtard heads explode.

They clearly went to great lengths to fix the outcome . Must be a radioactive danger to the RATs if the truth gets out. I’m betting it’s tied in to Seth Rich’s murder which is why they’ve gone all the way to bury this.
This is called buying more time for your client by setting up an argument for retrial based on 'incompetent representation.'
It's a ploy.
yep............................

IIRC, the Awans were used by the DNC for IT work. My guess is they determined Rich was the leaker and reported him to Podesta, the rest being history.
Ooops
Consider that Seth Rich was murdered, not by Democrats, but by Pakistanis who panicked at the possibility that one side effect of Seth Rich’s leaks would be a tightening of security which would affect THEM.
Foaming the runway for a future mistrial when the plea deal falls apart.
That seems to be the consensus.
Or he just a liberal nutcase...................
Good point!
“In fact, when a case is this rigged, you don’t even need a competent defense attorney.”
The prosecutor is related to Wasserman?
How is that possible? (Oops, the judge is a Clinton appointee).
It just reeks . . . .
Both could be right.
The judge in this case is Tanya Chutkan, who was recused (removed) from another case related to Fusion GPS a few months back. They may need to remove her from this case, as well.
