[DAILYCALLER] After former Democratic IT aide Imran Awan allegedly threatened his stepmother not to talk to police, her email account was accessed in suspicious ways and a lawyer for one of Awan’s brothers found out she emailed the FBI on specific dates and lashed out at her: "You’re a liar, aren’t you?"
Days after that, a bank account the stepmother controlled was almost completely drained through a payment to Imran’s brother, Abid Awan, bank records show ‐ but she said she is too afraid to press criminal charges because she claims he has threatened her. The stepmother, Samina Gilani, also previously said Imran stole two laptops from her.
Imran, Abid and Jamal Awan ‐ along with Imran’s wife, Hina Alvi, and a friend ‐ worked as IT administrators for 1 out of every 5 House Democrats and could read all their emails and files until police banned them from the network in February 2017 for "numerous violations of House security policies."
Months later, none of the family is in jail, and the stepmother and other witnesses have said Imran and Abid have used their freedom to try to steer the outcome of the case since, including by threatening them not to cooperate with authorities, TheDCNF previously reported.
In April 2016, the House’s Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) detected allegedly falsified purchase orders, and the Inspector General quickly expanded the scope to investigate cyber violations, finding that members of the Awan family improperly accessed congressmen’s servers and the House Democratic Caucus server thousands of times.
Though House officials suspected that equipment was being stolen, the Capitol Police did not search their homes, The Daily Caller News Foundation learned, and did not ban them from the network until nearly a year later. In the meantime, evidence appears to have been compromised: In December 2016, the CAO notified congressmen that the caucus server had physically disappeared.
Though Abid played a prominent role in the late-2016 IG report, he has not been tossed in the clink Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! , with congressmen saying a criminal investigation is ongoing.
In January 2017, in the days around his father’s death, Abid removed Gilani as the beneficiary of his father’s life insurance and replaced her with himself, which led to a lawsuit, TheDCNF previously reported.
Abid’s attorney, Jim Bacon, used the life insurance lawsuit to force Gilani to sit for a sworn deposition Oct. 4, 2017 in which he told her to reveal what she told the FBI about the congressional criminal probe and tried to get her to find out details from Sherlocks.

Sure seems to take a long, long time to investigate things in DC.

Especially when the suspect(s) know too much.

[Breitbart] "John Brennan should pop the glass capsule and take the cyanide now," Stone told host Amanda House, Breitbart News’s deputy political editor. "He’s the perp who started the entire Russian dossier matter. He’s lied about it under oath. He’s going to die in a federal penitentiary."
Brennan and the Obama intelligence community’s roles in the investigation of the Trump campaign have come under increasing scrutiny.
Recently, Cambridge Professor Stefan Halper was outed by former and current officials leaking to the Washington Post and the New York Times as an FBI and CIA informant who approached and befriended several members of the Trump campaign.
Halper had reached out to members of the campaign weeks before FBI officials said they first learned of allegations of collusion ‐ calling into question why the Obama administration was surveilling the Trump campaign.
Brennan, now an NBC News contributor, was deeply involved in fueling the allegations of collusion with Russia while in office, as Breitbart News has covered.
The former CIA director has since been active on Twitter attacking the president. Stone suggested he already knows much of what Mueller could find.

Neither Roger Stone or anyone else should speak glibly about such outcomes. The mysterious circumstances surrounding the demise of a few people have already taken place.

"He’s the perp who started the entire Russian dossier matter. He’s lied about it under oath. He’s going to die in a federal penitentiary."
Brennan most likely had the blessings of his Uber boss, BHO. HRC, although not directly his boss probably had input and gave blessings as well. If these people are as criminal as I think, I wouldn't mind seeing them frog-marched to Super Max. Whatever the case, let justice be done as it would for any of the rest of us. A good house-cleaning is called for and also examples set to prevent future such off-the-books crap.

I grew up with Elliot Ness. Until recently, I had that vision of the FBI. I know that most are honest but I have come to the opinion that they are just another government agency that should be closed. At the least, the head quarters should be moved out of DC.

CNN's favorite ethical source
[LATimes] The law firm of Stormy Daniels' attorney Michael Avenatti was hit with a $10-million judgment Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court after he broke his promise to pay $2 million to a former colleague.
Judge Catherine Bauer of U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Santa Ana ordered the Eagan Avenatti law firm to pay the $10 million to Jason Frank, a lawyer who used to work at the Newport Beach firm.
"At this point, that's what's appropriate," Bauer said at a brief hearing.
To settle his law firm's bankruptcy, Avenatti had personally guaranteed that the $2 million would be paid to Frank last week, but both he and his firm failed to turn over the money.
At the hearing, the U.S. Justice Department revealed that Avenatti's firm has also defaulted on back taxes that it promised to pay the Internal Revenue Service under another bankruptcy settlement.
Assistant U.S. Atty. Najah Shariff told the judge that the federal government would soon file a motion demanding payment of the back taxes.

...Mr Avenatti's cunning plan: Refuse to pay the money and if the Feds step in to enforce it, scream persecution because he's Standing Up To Power(TM).

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
