    I haven't heard a word about recusal.

    Are the bank fraud charges a smokescreen to protect elected Democrats?

    Here is Andrew C. McCarthy of NRO on Anwar -- worth a read .....

    "There’s more than bank fraud going on here.

    In Washington, it’s never about what they tell you it’s about. So take this to the bank: The case of Imran Awan, Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s mysterious Pakistani IT guy, is not about bank fraud.

    Yet bank fraud was the stated charge on which Awan was arrested at Dulles Airport this week, just as he was trying to flee the United States for Pakistan, via Qatar. That is the same route taken by Awan’s wife, Hina Alvi, in March, when she suddenly fled the country, with three young daughters she yanked out of school, mega-luggage, and $12,400 in cash.

    By then, the proceeds of the fraudulent $165,000 loan they’d gotten from the Congressional Federal Credit Union had been sent ahead. It was part of a $283,000 transfer that Awan managed to wire from Capitol Hill. He pulled it off — hilariously, if infuriatingly — by pretending to be his wife in a phone call with the credit union. Told that his proffered reason for the transfer (“funeral arrangements”) wouldn’t fly, “Mrs.” Awan promptly repurposed: Now “she” was “buying property.” Asking no more questions, the credit union wired the money . . . to Pakistan.

    As you let all that sink in, consider this: Awan and his family cabal of fraudsters had access for years to the e-mails and other electronic files of members of the House’s Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committees. It turns out they were accessing members’ computers without their knowledge, transferring files to remote servers, and stealing computer equipment — including hard drives that Awan & Co. smashed to bits of bytes before making tracks.

    They were fired in February. All except Awan, that is. He continued in the employ of Wasserman Schultz, the Florida Democrat, former DNC chairwoman, and Clinton crony. She kept him in place at the United States Congress right up until he was nabbed at the airport on Monday.

    This is not about bank fraud. The Awan family swindles are plentiful, but they are just window-dressing. This appears to be a real conspiracy, aimed at undermining American national security....."

    Mus, is that you in the video? If so, your American accent is pretty good. It's in a class with Vladimir Posner's.

    Wasserman is not "the" Assistant US Attorney for the DC office. He is one of 350 Assistant US Attorneys. There is not indication anywhere that Wasserman is involved in either the Rich matter, or the Awan matter. And Eric Braverman is still dead, I presume? I do believe, however, that Wasserman is heading up the wide ranging tin foil hat investigation, so watch out West Mall regulars!. Once again, the loony red meat websites prey on the ignorance, stupidity and gullibility of the wingnuts, and they lap it up, sans facts, like dogs lap up vomit. For what its worth, if we must flog this story-based-on-nothing, the Awan matter will in all likelihood be assigned to the Fraud and Public Corruption Unit. Wasserman works in the Violent Crimes and Narcotics Unit. https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-wasserman-6a1a608/ If it were assigned to his unit, save your outrage unless and until he actually got involved.

    If a suspect emerged from the Seth Rich murder, would it not fall under his jurisdiction? From what I've read, the case was determined to be a botched robbery, however nothing substantiates that to be the case.

    The Awan charges do not involve violent crime or narcotics, but simply fraud, so you would appear to be correct there based on the jurisdiction described. Before this is over, I suspect Imran Awan will be linked to many more serious crimes than defrauding the government.

    Wasserman does not have any jurisdiction. He works for the US Attorney, who will assign any case within his jurisdiction to one or more Assistant US Attorneys. The odds that he would assign the Awan case to Wasserman are identical to the odds that I will name my next child Barry Switzer. If he were to do so, it would be time to raise holy hell, but not to worry. I guess my irritation, obvious in my original post, is with the now-kneejerk approach to scandal creation. Some blogger mentions a possibility, however remote, and a parade of the habitually outraged line up to denounce this latest atrocity, even though it has not even happened. To the credit of Musburger and Joe Fan, neither of you took the bait, but a quick google discloses that the outrage industry is running with this. In six months, nothing will have come of it, but untold numbers of people who read the red meat sites will have this vague recollection of the facts, and a distinct memory of how Wasserman, the Obama appointed US Attorney, and perhaps his "deep state" successor did .... something, maybe something to do with a pizza parlor, and kiddie porn, I don't remember, exactly - but it was bad. Iremember that. This is a dangerous and troubling aspect of our politics and should be resisted, from whatever political slant.

    I guess that makes us both irresponsible, gossip mongering, conspiratorial, easily manipulated propaganda tools.

    Ted Cruz's dad and mine were members of the same religion, or claimed to be. My dad owned a rifle. Nobody in the family claims to know where that rifle is or went. It seems pretty clear to me where that all leads. No idea or record of where my dad was on November 22, 1963 but I am certain he would, if alive, claim he was behind the cash register at his convenience store. How convenient, no?

    All these attempts to create a conspiracy will probably result in discovering what we already knew, the Democrats have some pretty ****** IT operational help.

    Keep in mind, this is coming from the guy that challenged OUBubba to produce evidence to support a conspiracy. Heresay and gossip is good for one but not the other. What's good for the goose isn't applicable to the gander, apparently.

    I wonder if he is more worried about the DOJ, or the Clintons?

    Looks like Imran Awan and his wife also stole $120K worth of electronics from a Congresswoman. And instead of reporting the theft, the Congresswoman Yvette Clark decided to "just write it off"

    Why doesnt the media cover this?
    The picture tells the story
    That is Yvette Clark (D-Ill) in the middle
    Has there ever been an Illinois Democrat who was clean? Ever?

    This one's going DEEP! We should all expect this to be the end of the DNC as we know it. Clearly everyone associated with the DNC will be ensnared in this conspiracy. Just imagine the tentacles this thing has.

    Prosecutors are attempting to cover up and not investigate important aspects of the case. The goal is to convict Awan of fraud or reach a plea agreement quickly to prevent expansion of the case to multiple actors within the government. The press is of course complicit as is the Justice Department.

    Saw that one coming a mile away after hearing the unrelated charges he was arrested for at the airport. Swamp is swampin' as usual.

    The Daily Caller is doing the best coverage of this story
    Maybe the only coverage?

    This one may be the reason the Dems do not care about 5,400 unauthorized server logins and "massive" data transfers --

    "House Democrats ordered the systematic falsification of records showing how they spend their taxpayer-provided office budgets, according to lawyers for two former House information technology (IT) aides.

    It’s a remarkable accusation that pits sitting lawmakers against the former aides, Imran Awan, his brothers Abid and Jamal, and his wife Hina Alvi. Imran was arrested in July while trying to board a flight to Pakistan, and then indicted on four counts of bank fraud involving moving money to that country. Imran and Hina, who was also indicted, face a court date Friday.

    One of Imran’s lawyers, Aaron Page, acknowledged the invoicing discrepancy Aug. 21, telling The Daily Caller News Foundation, “This is just how things have been done for forever. This is what experienced members of Congress expect: to expedite things, they adjust the pricing.”

    If members or senior staff instructed IT aides to misrepresent how budgets were spent, that could potentially explain why officials have not charged the Awans with crimes related to procurement, even a full year after House authorities gathered documentation showing invoices that claimed expensive technological items cost $499 instead of their true price: potentially an open-and-shut violation....."

    Imran Awan's wife, Hina Alvi, did show up to court today.
    She was arraigned on 4 counts.
