WestVirginiaRebel Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Breitbart Imran Awan, the Pakistan-born IT vendor to several top House Democrats under investigation since February, was arrested allegedly trying to flee the United States Tuesday. Some of the most important facts about this developing and potentially massive story: 1. Awan has been a staffer for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and other top congressional Democrats since 2004: UPI reports more than 24 different Democratic House offices used Awan’s services. Awan’s time with Wasserman Schultz included her entire tenure as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. Estimates are that Awan and his family received more than $4 million from House Democrats since 2009. 2. Awan was still employed by Wasserman Schultz’s office until he was arrested Tuesday night: According to Fox News reporter Chad Pergram, the former DNC head’s office only terminated him after authorities moved in for the arrest as Awan tried to make his way out of the country via Dulles International Airport despite his being publicly under investigation for what appear to be embezzlement and fraud allegations: Follow Chad Pergram ✔@ChadPergram Fox is told that Hse IT staffer Imran Awan is still on Hse payroll for moment under Wasserman Schultz. 4:25 PM - 25 Jul 2017 2,1842,184 Retweets 2,2202,220 likes Twitter Ads info and privacy 3. Wasserman Schultz has “inexplicably protected” Awan for months: The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Luke Rosiak, who has been spearheading this story since February, reported in May about Wasserman Schultz’s appearing to threaten Capitol Police Chief Matthew Verderosa with “consequences” if he did not return a laptop Awan owned that his officers had seized. Rosiak described the move as inexplicable. Other House Democrats had started dumping Awan around the same time, but Wasserman Schultz stuck with him, despite his reported banning from the House IT network over the investigation. ________ The staffer behind the scandal.
