Imran Awan Used Influence to Cover Up Fraud In Pakistan In 2009. New Smoking Gun
2017-09-08
(dawn.com) A US national of Pakistan origin, who is serving in the White House in Washington DC, has been able to get Rs55 million fraud cases against his father put on back burner allegedly by exerting pressure on the local police through the ministry as well as the department concerned.

The police are rather harassing the complainants and implicating them in what they claim "frivolous" cases. The efficiencies of the police in complying with the desires of the US national are also noteworthy.

About a dozen farmers of Chak 7-JB, Panjor, including five siblings ‐ all aged between 57 and 70 ‐ have given up hope of justice after they sold their agricultural lands to Ashraf Awan of Bole De Jhugi, who is father of White House employee Shahid Imran, against Rs55 million sale consideration but the money he owed against the purchases never realised and all the seven cheques drawn on Allied Bank's Sargodha Road branch dishonoured.

The police have registered a dacoity case against all the complainants and some others allegedly after succumbing to US national's pressure.

Mohammad Abid, a victim of Awan's alleged high-profile swindling, said that Awan's son had easy access to the corridors of power and that's why he was able to pressurise the police to dance to his tunes.

#7  Now what could possibly be gained by a long-standing intelligence relationship with Pakistani nationals living VIC Woodbridge, VA and working on the Hill ?

Depends. If you were part of the Pakistani IC, what would you be interested in? Assuming that your in-CONUS assets were somewhat unstable, that is.

#6  Imran Still Has A Copy Of Congressional Data Linked To Wasserman Schultz

Excerpt: "David Damron, a spokesman for the Florida lawmaker, declined to tell The Daily Caller News Foundation why Wasserman Schultz would still be so adamant the allegations against Imran were made up even after Imran apparently took her laptop late at night and left it where it would be found, alongside other seemingly carefully curated evidence.

Damron would not clarify why she said the laptop was hers and she had lost it, then that it was Imran’s and she had never even seen it, and finally, the revelation that it had the username RepDWS, rather than Imran’s username."

#5  No mention of who the 'corridors' are, though. I have a pretty good idea.

Pausing to scratch my old balding head. Now what could possibly be gained by a long-standing intelligence relationship with Pakistani nationals living VIC Woodbridge, VA and working on the Hill ?

I was thinking of the 'Bagram to Abbottabad' flight cooridor, or would I be wrong ?

#4  A laptop that Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has frantically fought to keep prosecutors from examining may have been planted for police to find by her since-indicted staffer, Imran Awan, along with a letter to the U.S. Attorney.
U.S. Capitol Police found the laptop after midnight April 6, 2017, in a tiny room that formerly served as a phone booth in the Rayburn House Office Building, according to a Capitol Police report reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group. Alongside the laptop were a Pakistani ID card, copies of Awan’s driver’s license and congressional ID badge, and letters to the U.S. attorney. Police also found notes in a composition notebook marked “attorney-client privilege.”
That she did. Earlier this year, Capitol Police reportedly found the laptop (and note) in a small room in the Rayburn House Office Building, Wasserman Schultz had the following exchange with the Capitol Police Chief, who was warned of “consequences” for his investigation and continued confiscation of evidence:

#1  No freaking way Awan does this unassisted - which Dem congresscritter(s) helped him to lean on these guys? I can't see Debbie Downer intimidating anybody; maybe ol' Steny or Nancy Eyebags herself?
