#1 Dhimmi jizya for being silent. Most would call this blackmail.

#2 Wadn't her money anyway. Was taxpayer money.

#3 My thoughts lean less to blackmail and more to co-conspirator. Awan's tenure fairly matches DWS's rise to power, like someone was feeding her information.
That she was also being played didn't alter her deal.

#4 Was he boning her too?

If so, he wasn't being paid enough.

#5 #4 Was he boning her too?

Charger, it is going to be difficult to get that mental image erased.

DWS' brother, Steve Wasserman is said to be heading up the prosecution of Imran Awan. Another friggin gatekeeper put in place to limit blowback on DWS? Look for Awan being 'suicided" while in jail.

#6 He must have had some very juicy stuff on her. I wonder what it could be...

#7 Or he was providing her with information, and was being paid by her to keep it quiet.

#8 And who did this nobody part-time IT guy get as a lawyer? A public defender? Someone he could afford on his salary? No, he got Chris Gowen, a power attorney a long-time campaigner for former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a member of an attorney team that brought a fraudulent lawsuit against energy giant Chevron.

He also has a reputation, as related by his stepmother, of bugging rooms and recording phone calls. This is huge, people. He spied on Congress for a long time and that information was used to blackmail the shit out of Congress.

#9  Allegations of the Awans Spying for the Muslim Brotherhood.

#10 The return ticket isn't significant. A lot of Asian countries won't allow you to enter without one, assuming he travelled on a US passport.

#11 One source, the Daily Caller I think, said he was initially hired with no prior relevant experience at 3 times the going rate. Which is about as suspicious as it gets. IT support people are 2 a penny these days.

#12 Ikhwan, ISI, IRGC, or all of the above?

#13 Andy McCarhy has it at NRO (yeah, I hate them too, but...). When they say it's bank fraud, it's not bank fraud. I think this is coming down around Lil Debbie and the DNC

#14 McCarthy....

#15 Powerline has it as well. Daily Caller is on point

#17  Maybe this guy's trip to Pakistan should be examined more closely. Note the reference near the end to John Brennan, later head of CIA.

#18 He spied on Congress for a long time and that information was used to blackmail the shit out of Congress.

Or he supplied dirt to the DNC for the same thing.

The MB and Pakistani IC likely benefited as well.

#19 I keep coming back to the Hezbollah connection. Normally Sunnis want nothing to do with Shiias. Which makes me think Iran via the MB (or similar) are behind this.

#20 McCarthy left out this guy, who the Awans were working when they branched out to other Congressional offices.
