Awan planted DWS laptop to be found by police

Well things sure just got a bit more interesting. Now Awan's wife agreeing to come back to the USA is starting to make a LOT more sense.

A laptop that Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has frantically fought to keep prosecutors from examining may have been planted for police to find by her since-indicted staffer, Imran Awan, along with a letter to the U.S. Attorney.
U.S. Capitol Police found the laptop after midnight April 6, 2017, in a tiny room that formerly served as a phone booth in the Rayburn House Office Building, according to a Capitol Police report reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group. Alongside the laptop were a Pakistani ID card, copies of Awan’s driver’s license and congressional ID badge, and letters to the U.S. attorney. Police also found notes in a composition notebook marked “attorney-client privilege.”
The laptop had the username “RepDWS,” even though the Florida Democrat and former Democratic National Committee chairman previously said it was Awan’s computer and that she had never even seen it.

...
The laptop was found on the second floor of the Rayburn building — a place Awan would have had no reason to go because Wasserman Schultz’s office is in the Longworth building and the other members who employed him had fired him.
Wasserman Schultz used a televised May 18, 2017 congressional hearing on the Capitol Police budget to threaten “consequences” if Chief Matthew Verderosa did not give her the laptop. “If a member loses equipment,” it should be given back, she said.
Verderosa told her the laptop couldn’t be returned because it was tied to a criminal suspect. Wasserman Schultz reiterated that, while Awan was a suspect, the computer should be returned because it is “a member’s … if the member is not under investigation.”
She changed her story two months later, claiming it was Awan’s laptop — bought with taxpayer funds from her office — and she had never seen it. She said she only sought to protect Awan’s rights. “This was not my laptop,” she said August 3. “I have never seen that laptop. I don’t know what’s on the laptop.”
Awan, his wife, Hina Alvi, and two of his Pakistani-born brothers are at the center of a joint FBI-Capitol Police cybersecurity criminal investigation of their IT work for dozens of Democratic House members.
...
“Imran Awan is a calculating person who made great efforts to cover his tracks, both electronically and physically,” Gohmert told TheDCNF. “Placing that laptop with his personal documents, which may well incriminate him, those he worked for, or both, in the dead of night in a House office building, was a deliberate act by a cunning suspect, and it needs to be investigated.”
....
The collection of documents found in Rayburn tied the laptop to Awan and ensured that police would keep the computer. The reporting officer wrote that when he saw Awan’s name, he recalled guarding an interrogation of him a few months earlier. The “attorney client privilege” notation also prevented police from immediately reviewing some of the papers.
Nonetheless, the officer opened the MacBook and found that its login screen did not have Awan’s username, but rather “RepDWS.”
A police report reviewed by TheDCNF said:
On 4/6/2017 at 0021 hours, with the building closed to the public, AOC informed USCP Rayburn offices of an unattended bag in the phone booth on the 2nd floor. The officer received the open-contents visible bag and prepared a found property report. While reviewing the inventory of the bag contents, the officer found
#1 a Pakistani ID card with the name Mohommed Ashraf Awan
#2 a copy – not original – of a drivers license with name Imran Awan
#3 a copy (front and back) of his congressional ID
#4 an Apple laptop with the homescreen initials ‘RepDWS’
#5 composition notebooks with notes handwritten saying ‘attorney client privilege’ and possibly discussing case details below
#6 loose letters addressed to US Attorney of DC discussing the apparent owner of the bag being investigated.
Approximately 3-4 months ago officer was requested by SAA as police presence of 4 individuals being interviewed, including the bag owner. It is unknown to the officer whether he is still employed.

I'm glad to help but I'm not sure what you unsure about. Could you please point me in a direction?

Luke Rosiak of the Daily Caller is single-handedly keeping an important story alive. Good for him.

The jist of the story seems to be that Awan planted his laptop and papers in order to screw DWS in case something happened to him.
I think it's more likely he was able to game security and had been using that office for quite a while to store things. Since the offices wasn't related to DWS, no one would think to look there for things if he was being investigated.
I'm far more interested in the deal they made to get the wife back to the US.

But why store copies of your DL and your wife's DL? What about letters to the DAs? It seems clear it was intended to be found.

Maybe it was a backup cache that he never got the chance to retrieve on his way to the airport? DWS seemed to have his back pretty solidly until he was arrested so while I'm not completely dismissing the intent, I see it as the less likely scenario.
Who knows though? She may have done something to really piss him off and he may well have decided to leave the US with that little bomb just waiting to be found. It's too early to know for sure, just my speculation.

No way a Democrat would throw someone under the Bus right?
I have said since the early 90's, even though a Democrat is up to her eyeballs in criminal activity, I won't hold my breath until she is in handcuffs. It just doesn't happen.

This story reads like a Tom Clancy novel. Gets more interesting by the week.
Why would the DL's of Awan and his wife be next to the laptop though? It appears it was intentional.

I'm thinking someone within the alliance leveraged him and his family and they are ready to expose some deep underbelly shite. Sadly, this will be the stuff the public cannot handle and will be taken care of behind the scenes.

What about letters to the DAs?

Perhaps so, but it may appear Awan and wifey might have some leverage. I'm all for letting them both off scot free if they sing like canaries. Wouldn't be surprised if this happens. They are just small fish in a bigger scheme.

What difference does this make when looking at possible intent? He is more likely to accidentally write a letter to the US Attorney?
I see this as a distinction w/out a difference but I'm probably missing something.

I agree. The alliance is the good guys.

Alex Jones is going off about this article today. He is connecting A LOT of the dots out there related to this Awan situation. Fascinating stuff. Comey, Mueller, etc....all their actions and lies becoming crystal clear to how it is tied with DWS's lies and actions.
This information had been hidden since april despite Awan writing letters to SEVERAL agencies before he attempted to flee for his own safety.
Speaking of Awan's safety and weather modification, guess where Awan is being held on house arrest? If you guessed Florida, you'd be right.
What are the odds that something tragically happens to Awan after Irma hits FL or he magically disappears?

I wonder if the laptop is still logged in to a want's td account? He hasn't posted since this has been going on

I haven't been following. What do we THINK happened?
And why is DWS involved and what will she eventually go to jail for?
