who fled to Pakistain while under criminal investigation has struck a deal with federal officials to return to the U.S. to appear at an arraignment.

Two former Democratic staffers, Imran Awan and his wife Hina Alvi, both face charges of conspiracy and bank fraud. Alvi who has a warrant for her arrest, struck a deal with prosecutors that would allow her to return to the U.S. for a mandatory court date in October, according to new court documents.

"Because the Court has already scheduled defendant Awan’s continued status hearing for October 6, 2017, at 9:15 am, the government respectfully requests that the Court also summon defendant Alvi to appear for her arraignment on that date and time, or at the earliest available date for the Court thereafter," the document reads.

Awan after he wired nearly $300,000 to Pakistain and misrepresented the purpose. He had previously wired money to the country and was frantically liquidating multiple real estate properties on the day he was arrested, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group discovered in July.

Alvi moved to Pakistain after learning the family was the subject of a criminal investigation into their work as IT administrators for House Democrats. On the day of Imran’s arrest, the couple accepted a buyer for one house owned by Hina with an asking price of $618,000 (Hawkshead Dr.) and listed another property for sale at $200,000 (Pembrook Village), according to real estate records.

#6  George Webb on youtube has been investigating. Some interesting findings. Although, his theory about Uranium smuggling seems far fetched.

#5  Strategically placed remote servers. Electronic monitoring of your opposition. US Intelligence augmenting or picking up the tab for your IT support? What's not to like ?

#4  As I understand it, he left his ID and other documents and the laptop which has DWS tagged as owner, in a tiny room that was previously a public phone booth in the Rayburn Building, most probably the evening before he was scheduled to fly back to Pakistan. Clearly meant as a smoking gun of some kind, so the contents have to be important, either for what they reveal as the truth, or what was intended as a revelation but was disinformation. Either way, smells of ISI tradecraft and all the suggests about how deeply infiltrated the Demorat party is by the Nation or Peace.

#3  Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is a very important DEMOCRAT. There is no way she will be prosecuted. There will be consequences if she is.

#2  Wonder if they're have a bigger target in mind. Plots within plots.

#1  I take it from this that they'll drop all charges on the wife, but Awan's still a pig in a poke, if you'll pardon the expression.
