There's supposed to be a hearing in a few weeks in federal court on a plea deal for Imran Awan and his wife. Awan is the Pakistani guy who was employed by Debbie Wasserman Schultz to handle the computer systems for her office. His group also did the same for about 30 other Democrat members of Congress. Awan has been held on bank fraud charges, but those seem to be a means to keep him in custody while the FBI and others investigate data breaches from Congressional computer systems. The oft-stated fear is that Awan led an intelligence operation by the Pakistani ISI (their CIA) or some other county that made its way into some of the most sensitive computer systems in our country. During all this time, former Democrat national chair Wasserman Schultz has been trying to defend Awan and generally going berserk at the prospect of his arrest and conviction. For example, DWS kept Awan on her payroll for months after she was warned by law enforcement about his activities. Every other congressman removed Awan and his group at that point. Because DWS kept Awan on her payroll, he also kept his access to the computer systems in the House.
We don't have the details yet on the Awan plea deal. My guess is that Awan will plead to a lesser crime and agree to cooperate against others (maybe Wasserman Schultz?). Big things are coming.
Meanwhile, yesterday, the government arrested the long time head of security for the Senate Intelligence Committee. James Wolfe was charged with lying to the FBI with regard to leaking classified materials. The charge was not for the leaking itself, but rather for lying about it. It's pretty clear from the indictment that Wolfe was the "source" for a batch of classified material about Carter Page that ended up in the media. It seems as if a mouthpiece for the Deep State is finally being prosecuted.
Think about this for a minute. The Senate Intelligence Committee handles the most sensitive sort of information that anyone in Congress has. If the head of security for the committee is leaking that info to the press, there's a major problem there.
The Wolfe indictment is likely to be just the first by the DOJ against those who illegally leak classified information. Big things are coming.
