Ex-Dem IT aide Imran Awan pleads guilty to bank fraud in deal with prosecutors
Fox News, Jul 3, 2018, Alex Pappas

Imran Awan, the former IT aide to congressional Democrats whose federal court case has drawn the interest of President Trump and other Republicans, pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal bank fraud in a plea deal where prosecutors said they "uncovered no evidence" that Awan "violated federal law with respect to the House computer systems."

During a hearing before U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan in Washington, Awan pleaded guilty to making a false statement on a loan application. As part of the deal, the prosecution dropped fraud charges against Awan's wife, Hina Alvi.

The case has generated interest from Republicans on Capitol Hill, who have suggested Awan could have been involved in a cyber breach operation. But prosecutors said Tuesday they investigated allegations of misconduct by Awan while on the job in Congress and determined federal charges were not warranted.

"Particularly, the government has found no evidence that your client illegally removed House data from the House network or from House members' offices, stole the House Democratic Caucus server, stole or destroyed House information technology equipment, or improperly accessed or transferred government information, including classified or sensitive information," the prosecution said in the plea deal.

The Awans fled the country to avoid a stupid bank fraud charge?

It's a cover up on a grand scale and it's apparent to me that damned few give a shit!

This was never going to go as far as it should have.  DWS's brother Steve is a prosecutor in the US Attorneys office in DC.  [url]https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-wasserman-6a1a608[url]

The thing I feared most about a Trump presidency is that it wo0uld cover up all the Clinton misdeeds.  I see it happening.

He can't do anything about the Senate but as Chief Executive he can do plenty about the DOJ!

What if Jeff Sessions is just following orders from headquarters?

Then he definitely needs to be fired!  There's clear criminality at the highest levels in this one, and his job is to prosecute it.
