In March, Comey and McCabe Blocked the Arrest of Imran Awan’s Wife

Now we have some more secrets getting exposed about government involvement in the now famous Awan Family story.

Apparently the FBI knew about "Mrs Awan" getting on a plane at Dulles Airport loaded with cash and contraband on her way back to Pakistan.

Orders from high up had FBI people on the scene stopped as the story goes.

This whole Awan deal is getting deeper and deeper by the day now.

I can just imagine how quaint the "bulging luggage" must have looked (at the time).

This is of course based on "sourceful" information not meant for public consumption.

EXCL USIVE: In March, Comey and McCabe Blocked the Arrest of Imran Awan’s Wife As She Was Fleeing the Country to Pakistan

Alvi Awan was suspected of helping swindle $283,000 from banks and was busted carrying over $12,400 in undocumented cash when the FBI caught up with her at Dulles International Airport in March.

But incredibly Awan — the wife of Imran Awan, the IT specialist and con man employed by Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was arrested last week for bank fraud — was never detained or forced to stay in the United States. Her arrest in fact was blocked by then-FBI Director James Comey and then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, FBI sources said.

So federal agents and Capitol Police watched as the former Democratic congressional aide and suspected bank fraudster stepped onto Qatar Air1ines Flight 708 to Doha, Qatar, on her way to Lahore, Pakistan with her three daughters, bulging luggage and $12,400 in undocumented cash — a federal crime in itself. Awan had essentially been given a license to disappear from the clutches of US law enforcement, never likely to return to the United States. She was in the wind, courtesy of the FBI.

“This was a call from the top, Comey and McCabe,” a well-placed FBI agent said. “Anyone else would have been held and with that cash she didn’t declare she could have been locked up. The agents at Dulles wanted to hold her but they were told to stand down.”

Sounds perfectly believable to me, since McCabe and Comey both have ties to Clinton.

Wow, just what connections did these awan people have and if this true, will come back to bite them in the arse.

Other than the money she was carrying, what were they going to arrest her for?

Also, if the only issue was the money, she could have filled-out the appropriate customs form and simply declared it when she landed.

It's right in the first line of the story at the link and Xuen's quote of the story.
Suspicion of bank fraud.

Alvi Awan was suspected of helping swindle $283,000 from banks and was busted carrying over $12,400 in undocumented cash when the FBI caught up with her at Dulles International Airport in March.

They should have at least detained her until the facts were sorted out, not let her go on her merry way with all that cash.
The criminal corruption is getting very deep.

Bank Fraud....It's a crime you know...

probable cause would be enough for some law enforcement if they knew about the history of the family business and how they were eventually barred access to DNC clients. Some guys might start putting things together and realize the dumping of all their property and some other high dollar transactions might signal they were trying to "get the hell out of dodge" and that by itself could have aroused suspicion as it should from a law enforcement perspective.

So.........that's all there is, "in fact"? All we have is "FBI sources said"?

They were already investigating the family at that time. She was the subject of an active investigation when she decided to flee. Just the amount of money she was carrying, without filing the proper transfer forms, was a felony and enough for an immediate arrest. The feds and Capitol Police were told to STAND DOWN by the senior administration of the FBI and so they were forced to let her leave.

It is good enough for the NYT.

I have said it before......if we knew the entire real truth about some of this crap, we would be scared to leave the house everyday.

I believe Awan was blackmailing the DNC and/or DWS, which is why he wasn't fired until his arrest... even after he was banned from congress.

Suspicion alone is not grounds for arrest, if I am not mistaken. You can detain someone for a short period of time if you have reasonable suspicion, but you cannot arrest them.

a reply to: RazorV66

im not so sure about that my friend. I can think of at least a few people i know that would be just the exact opposite of scared.

Well gee.

Other than when I alluded to it in the OP.

Sherlock Holmes has been notified !!

It is not illegal to carry large sums of money when travelling. The TSA only requires it to be reported. A simple 4790 form (I believe) could be filled out and she would be on her way.

he feds and Capitol Police were told to STAND DOWN by the senior administration of the FBI and so they were forced to let her leave.

According to what source?

So, did she file for that amount of cash?

Wrong. Anything over $10,000.00 must be fully declared and forms filed BEFORE traveling. If discovered while you are in the airport, it is a felony arrest.

Stop apologizing for these scum.

ETA: I apologize as I was incorrect. You can file the forms at your destination for amounts over $10,000.00. I was mistaken.

BWAHAHAHA!!

An exclusive from a website that doesn't eve employ reporters lmao...

Man people will believe ANYTHING that makes them feel smarter than everyone else...

Never realizing they just end up looking foolish..

I (and that's my real name ) will happily bet 100$ right now that the clintons are never even charged with a crime..

That even though trump runs every law enforcement agency and would trade his pinky finger for the distraction.. that charges will never even be filed..

I do not know. That is a question we would have to seek an answer for.

If there were no warrants for her arrest and their was nothing else on her person to arrest her for, it would seem reasonable for them to give her the appropriate forms and send her along her way.

Otherwise, I think it would be a violation of her rights to detain her.
