Attorney: Former IT Aide Imran Awan Deserves No Jail Time Because Trump, Republicans Were Mean

    Former House IT aide Imran Awan’s attorney, Chris Gowen, filed a memo asking that his client serve no jail time for his bank fraud conviction.
    He told an Obama-appointed judge that Trump is an “incoherent,” “desperate” president of the “Untied States.”
    He asked for lenience by saying that Republican congressmen are “pathetic.”

An attorney filed a sentencing memo on behalf of former House IT aide Imran Awan, claiming that President Donald Trump, other Republicans, and “conspiratorial media” attacks serve as a sufficient substitute for jail time for his client’s bank fraud conviction.

Attorney Chris Gowen, a former aide to Hillary Clinton, argued to Judge Tanya Chutkan, a President Barack Obama-appointee, that Imran should be spared jail, in part because of Trump, who engaged in “incoherent rambling” about the former IT aide.

“Considering … the conduct of several government officials, including the president of the United States, Imran Awan respectfully requests this court to sentence him to time served with a fine of $4,004,” Gowen wrote in the sentencing memo filed Wednesday.

Imran pleaded guilty to lying on a loan application on July 3. He was also banned from the House network in February 2017 after congressional investigators alleged he made “unauthorized access” to House computers and other cyber violations, but faced no charges related to this.

Imran pleaded guilty to lying on a loan application on July 3. He was also banned from the House network in February 2017 after congressional investigators alleged he made “unauthorized access” to House computers and other cyber violations, but faced no charges related to this.

Yet, this is the thing he should be charged with.
His argument that the President and other republicans were "mean", is typical of the left.
They are trying to code to appear that it is racism against Pakistanis.

Well Mr. lawyer, I think the SOB, and his brothers, should all be on trial for espionage instead of being allowed to cop to a plea of bank fraud and walk!

If the guy did the crime and was convicted,  then serve your time! Open and shut case. That's a big part of what's wrong with our nation, criminals are "squirming off the hook". If you don't want to do the time, then don't do the crime.
