Imran Awan strikes plea bargain with the Feds

NOTE: This post is from June 5th, for the developments of July 3rd please click here.

  You might remember the sordid story of Imran Awan and the Awan brothers but in case you have forgotten it goes something like this: The Awan brothers are Pakistani nationals who were working as IT specialists for Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Democratic National Committee, and it was reported that up to 30 Democrats employed their services. Shortly after the election the Awan brothers, with the exception of Imran, fled the country after being accused of hacking into government computers. However, Imran Awan was arrested on bank fraud charges as he attempted to flee the country.

  The Awan brothers are accused of funneling  money to the Middle East and they allegedly have ties to Hezbollah. During the investigation into the Awan brothers–and this is where the story gets very interesting–one of Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s computers was taken as evidence in the case and she was so distraught that she threatened a police chief if her computer was not returned to her.

  There is now a new development because it is being reported that Imran Awan has struck a plea deal with the Feds:

  There really is no more information than that, but if I had to guess this is bad news for truth and justice because he most likely plead guilty to a lesser crime and this will be brushed by the wayside. With any luck part of his plea deal will be to turn over information on the higher ups involved in this scandal but at this point I would not count on it.
