Democrat IT Aide Imran Awan Case May Not Be Over

The case that seemingly only Luke Rosiak and I covered regularly isn’t over. The infamous Imran Awan is back.

Newly released docs from the DOJ:

Pursuant to an Order issued by the Honorable Tanya S. Chutkan, who is presiding over a related sealed criminal matter the Government is prohibited from disclosing certain information pursuant to formal and informal information request in this matter. The Government advised Judge Chutkan of the instant FOIA matter and sought clarification from Judge Chutkan concerning the Government’s permissible response in light of her Order in the sealed matter. Defendant received the clarification December 5, 2019, the date of this filing, that permitted Defendant to say the following: The Government is prohibited from disclosing any information pursuant to an Order issued by the Honorable Tanya S. Chutkan. …

…The “difficulties” in providing responsive material was due to the unexpected and unique set of facts described above that was out of the control of the Defendant. Defendant’s only motivation was to maintain the integrity of the sealed matter as much as possible, until the issuing Court provided guidance.

The DOJ originally said they couldn’t release the docs because of ‘technical difficulties’ but eventually admitted there’s an ongoing case.

This is an interesting response to a FOIA request on this case since the government said the case was closed in 2018 after the plea deal.

“Court records that have since been erased suggest that far from prosecuting the Awans for new crimes, the ‘sealed’ matter might be because Chutkan agreed to essentially expunge records related to Awan’s wife Hina Alvi — a request that was strongly opposed by the DOJ itself as unfounded and extraordinary,” The DCNF added. “Sometime in the past few months – as the FOIA lawsuit heated up – Chutkan appears to have belatedly granted the proposed seal or something similar. The proposed motion to seal and the government’s opposition are apparently gone from the court docket, and Alvi’s name has been removed – though all 80 documents pertaining to the Imran Awan case remain.”

I was the first person in the media to connect Awan to the DNC server ‘hack.’ Eventually, even President Trump started to see the connection. There were too many coincidences to be simple chance.

I’m also in the camp that Awan is likely a Pakistani intelligence asset. The ISI and Russia have a very close relationship.
