#1 This did have a very strange smell from the start.

Duel citizen, Pakistani IT specialists/hackers working for the DNC, who live in Woodbridge, VA, also have a used car dealership in Falls Church, traveling to and from Pakistan. Awans flee the U.S. and return to Pakistan virtually without comment from the USI or Law Enforcement (LE). Rep. Wasserman Schultz becomes “frantic, not normal,” threatens D.C. police official, "makes the rounds" to House officials in an attempt to kill the Awan financial fraud Investigation.

House Ethics Committee remains silent. USI says little if anything. LE appears reluctant to further investigate, bring charges.

Awan’s wife, Hina Alvi, eats cheese...gets Katherine Russell deal (Tamerlan Tsarnaev's widow), 'is having all charges against her dismissed as part of the agreement.'

Entire Awan matter runs parallel Robert Mueller Trump-Russia 'collusion' investigation and disinformation campaign.

Obviously the Awan affair is turning into a colossal cock-up. I just wish the Intelligence Community would be a bit more forthcoming. What would be the harm in simply releasing the... 'project name?'

#2 Quelle surprise.

Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

#5 Does Awan appear in the Strzok-Page texts made public? Or is that traffic in the "missing" and "unrecoverable" texts. Hard to believe that the Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division wouldn't be engaged in the Awan matter in order to keep a lid on the situation.

As a side note, Google offers up "peter strzok oga" in search type ahead.

#6 Ref #5: Yes, 52,000,000 pages (or some such ridiculous number) of text and not one mention of the Awans. Strange, very strange.

#7 I guess that means no more "bombshell" items regarding the Awans.

BTW, how's old DWS doing lately?

#8 Unbelievable! As I said yesterday, something about this is so dirty that the government has been blackmailed into submission. Disgraceful cowardice or corruption at the highest levels...

#9 Perhaps the one thing we could hope for is they (the G-men) flipped Awan to nail DWS, HRC, and the DNC in general.

But, I doubt it.

All this theater by Gowdy, Nunes, et al., is just that: theater. Vacuous theater. It gives Fox something to talk about.

Our Justice Department must not let Awan & Debbie Wasserman Schultz off the hook. The Democrat I.T. scandal is a key to much of the corruption we see today. They want to make a “plea deal” to hide what is on their Server. Where is Server? Really bad!

Must be hat the deep state is still operating and the swamp has not been drained enough. It's a political snuff job. It would seem that a blind prosecutor could make something out of this case.

#11 I know I must sound like a broken record, but it's not being discussed and all going nowhere for a reason. Car dealerships (and the ability to switch cars and plates) along with the handling and transfer of large sums of cash......are standard tradecraft covers for espionage.

Sorting out who is working for whom is the logical next step.

#12 Conservative Treehouse hardest hit.

Can we stop pretending Jeffy isn't compromised now?

#13 Car dealerships (and the ability to switch cars and plates) along with the handling and transfer of large sums of cash......are standard tradecraft covers for espionage.

As well as interstate transport of personnel and material in said uninspected vehicles on the car carriers.

#14 I'm certain the cover-up is for our own good. /sarc
