CIA Rag Washington Post Runs Story on Imran Awan Omitting Crucial Evidence

After spending 6 months with their head in the ground the Washington Post finally acknowledges the biggest story in DC surrounding the former IT staffer of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Imran Awan.

True to form, WaPo wasted little time in the lengthy article articulating their carefully crafted message;

  1. Right wing conspiracy theory
  2. Paint the Awans as victims of racism / Islamophobia / discrimination
  3. Nothing to see here, there's no story other than politics as usual on the Hill

Reporter Shawn Boburg presents a partial portrait of the man at the center of the growing controversy in congress but fails to recognize fundamental facts in the case. Glaring omissions include:

  • Statements by former US marine Andre Taggart who found government computer equipment in the home he rented from Imran Awan, which were handed over to authorities.
  • Police report filed against Imran and Abid Awan by their step-mother who claims that she was held hostage in their home, was prevented from seeing her husband Mr. Shah by Imran and Abid, had her devices hacked and the Awans threatened her family back in Pakistan in an attempt to have her sign over inheritance money.
  • The 10 houses and 21 businesses relating to the Awans, many resulting in bankruptcies

  • Imran had 150 government iphones/ipads from CDW delivered to his private residence (Hawkshead Dr., Lorton, VA.) worth $150,000 USD (written off).
  • Imran used an unofficial email address - [email protected] - up until late August 2017, although he had been banned from the network in February.
  • Stephen Wassermen Schultz, brother of DWS, Assistant Attorney for the District of Columbia is overseeing the DNC IT investigation into Imran Awan.

It was reported by George Webb that Andre Taggart was interviewed by the Washington Post recently but somehow Andre's account is not included in the story. George Webb was the first person to approach Taggart concerning Imran Awan and the discovery of several Blackberries and IT equipment at the Hawkshead address.

The article appearing in the WaPo suggests that while there does exist evidence of improper conduct, minor fraud, and nepotism but nothing to suggest more nefarious activities. The article attempts to portray Imran as a victim of racial discrimination.

Wasserman Schultz found a new consulting job for Imran Awan that did not require access to the House network and said publicly that she was concerned that the investigation was driven by ethnic and religious bias. The Awans are Muslims.

Her fierce defense of the Awans at times puzzled even some in her own party. In May, Wasserman Schultz chided the Capitol Police chief during a public hearing after officers confiscated a laptop that had been left in a Capitol Building hallway. It belonged to her office and had been issued to Imran Awan.

...

“My concern was they were being singled out,” Wasserman Schultz told The Post.

New Information


Though having substantial holes in the reporting, Mr. Boburg did manage to contribute a few more details to the case, but not without caveats.

Investigators found that the five IT employees had logged on at one server for the Democratic Caucus more than 5,700 times over a seven-month period, according to documents reviewed by The Post. Alvi, the only one of the five who was authorized to access that server, accounted for fewer than 300 of those logins, documents show.

The congressional networks they were accessing do not contain any classified information, which is held on separate servers that have rigid protections and very limited access. The House network does contain lawmakers’ email, but a senior House official said IT workers could not access it unless lawmakers provided their passwords.

The assertion that the Awans did not have access to classified material is as unlikely as it is irrelevant. Imran worked directly for congressional members who were committee members for the Department of Homeland Security, Foreign Affairs and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

There is also evidence found in Wikileak's emails that show how Imran held passwords for DWS and was in possession of Nancy Pelosi's Ipad.

The disclosure that unauthorized DNC IT staffers logged on to one of the Democratic Caucus servers more than 5,400 times over a period of seven months is quite alarming. Another perplexing tidbit is that Rao Abbas, Imran Awan's friend, who had recently been employed as a manager at McDonald's was given a high paying IT position in congress despite having no skills or training.

“At the end of the day, whether they had formal training or not, they were trained on the job by Imran,” said one of Imran Awan’s lawyers, Aaron Marr Page.

In addition, the article spends a fair amount of time trying to convince readers that the scandal is over-hyped and pushing the narrative of Awan and his family as victims of a 'right wing conspiracy theories'.

There's a familiar pattern developing in the msm. Be prepared for the NYTimes, CNN, and MSNBC to follow with similar articles describing George Webb as a right wing conspiracy theorist, portraying Awan as a victim, and that the spy ring in congress is just crazy talk and there's no story here, just move along.


I can't help but think of how Bernie Sanders' treatment from the msm during his presidential campaign is comparable.

  • First, the msm ignored Bernie for as long as possible
  • Because of his growing popularity, despite no media coverage, they were forced to acknowledge him.
  • Then they mocked/ridiculed him labeling him a 'socialist'
  • Then they conspired to sabotage his campaign

(Classic - Clinton / DWS / WaPo / CIA)

I was so pissed off when I read their article this morning!! Lies of omission, first thought. Your doing fantastic work breaking this all down and pointing out the specifics.

I meant to comment on your last article after I saw the timeline link you posted at the end. I've been working on an Awan infographic for my next Steemit content (taking way too long, too much going on in home life) - I'm hoping to get it done enough to post this week, and would love your feedback, I'm hoping to get collaborative on data- the design and the intent to make a large story digestible is my biggest focus.

That's wonderful! Once you find the time to put it all together, let me know with a comment or link your post here ;)

I have a few more posts about the Awans, also in the same vein as yours, posting some of the evidence in a comprehensive manner to people who are unaware.

I've been following GW's investigation for almost a year now... it's not easy to summarize and to be honest. There's a ton of material that needs to be sifted through.

Good luck! Looking forward to your post.

Thanks, I definitely will! I have actually not put any comment on steemit for months so I'm excited to finally have a little time to get back to it.

I follow GW off and on, it's hard for me to keep up every single day. I think he's brilliant, but also question him sometimes- does he ever in any videos shed more light into his background? When he talks about defending the Muslim kid against McCabe years back, was he a defense attorney? Does he ever elaborate on his random casual "I'm old Mossad" statements?

Luke Rosciak's articles have been a huge resource for me too, I really respect his objective style. I have no doubt you know, that too :)

Thanks for calling them out. We must stay diligent and continue trying to keep the media in chek

It's mental how the Washington Post can go from breaking crucial stories like Watergate a few decades ago, to trying as hard as possible to obfuscate evidence-driven, demonstrably suspicious cases like this just because it doesn't suit their narrative.

Since when did journalists hate journalism so much?

Her fierce defense of the Awans at times puzzled even some in her own party. In May, Wasserman Schultz chided the Capitol Police chief during a public hearing after officers confiscated a laptop that had been left in a Capitol Building hallway. It belonged to her office and had been issued to Imran Awan.

“My concern was they were being singled out,” Wasserman Schultz told The Post.

If you honestly believe that DWS was concerned with her staffer's civil liberties, rather than just being terrified of whatever was on that laptop being exposed, then you are beyond gullible.

LOL, yeah she's just blowing smoke trying to cover their tracks. Part of GW's theory on this is that he says using ethnic minority as shields is part of the playbook. Many of the congressional members involved here are minorities, Greg Meeks, Andre Carson, etc.

Weaponized identity politics

I think the way WaPo is handling these stories as indicative that it's the Deep State's propaganda rag.

Speaking of Deep State, one of the businesses Awan ran was a car lot, documented in court records as "CIA".

"These aren't the stories you're looking for. Hey look over there, kittens!"

Distract, retract, and lie.

That's the Washington Post for you!

Obfuscation and disinformation!

They deliberately muck up the facts even when they're right in front of us!

Another great article V.
Should we be surprised that a quasi-newspaper owned by a dirtbag is acting as a disinformation agent for the Clinton Crime syndicate? It's so farcical if you wrote it as fiction it wouldn't be credible. If you weren't posting this story here I wouldn't know anything about it buddy such is the lack of reporting this side the pond.
Keep up the great work buddy.

Great post,
The media is always going to spin it and make people out to look crazy, especially when they are telling the truth. Can't have the truth coming out now, uh uh!
Thanks for sharing have a great day.

I will say I took great comfort in the comments on both WaPo and twitter - the vast majority was calling out their BS

I felt the same, funny you should mention the comment sections as I'm working in a post focused on that specifically ;)

Good!!! Im even seeing it on google with our police and gov buildings rating tank. Guys write google reciews they do help!!
Im seeing it on pro trump pages that are being intentionally put in front of me, ill sit there and leave nasty comments about trump/gov and the majority of people are doing the same. Even tjough the pro trump pages just delete megstive comments to them.

Excellent post v4vapid. 5,700 times over a seven-month what is this Facebook jajajaja!!!

Hey great write up man!! Keep searching and spreading and the truth. This clearly a lot deeper, the only reason they would fight this is if they covering something much bigger. What they were doing has big inplications. We must get thr truth and get these lying racist assholes out of office.
