According to the Daily Caller News Foundation, “The investigation is focused on allegations the Awan group abused their access as congressional information technology (IT) administrators for dozens of Democratic members of the House of Representatives, including former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida. Politico reported the criminal probe concerned ‘serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network.’”

And as for the idea that he was just casually going to take a trip and no one minded until anti-Muslim bigotry got the best of them, Hina Alvi, Imran Awan’s wife, “another House staff member involved in the Capitol Hill investigation, left the country with their three daughters, headed for Pakistan, in March, according to an affidavit filed in the Awan case. Alvi had ‘numerous pieces of luggage’ and more than $12,000 in cash, FBI agent Brandon Merriman wrote in the affidavit.”

A network of Muslim IT staffers with ties to the highest levels of Democratic Party leadership and to Pakistan, being investigated for “serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network,” leaving the country while under investigation, carrying large amounts of cash. Nothing to see here. It’s all just “anti-Muslim bigotry.”
