Feds arrest IT staffer for Wasserman Schultz trying to leave country

Awan does indeed make a plea deal for bank fraud.

Server was in federal custody and examined.

No evidence of computer crimes or spying.

Q probably kicks the can down the road.

Yup. They found exactly nothing other than someone lying on a bank loan do ent, so he can send money to his parents (medical expenses if memory serves)

HUGE fail.

Former House IT staffer at center of debunked conspiracy theories avoids jail time
By David Shortell, CNN

Updated 3:19 PM ET, Tue August 21, 2018

Imran Awan, the former House information technology staffer whose proximity to Democratic Party leadership made him a linchpin of conspiracy theories pushed by Republicans up to the President, was sentenced Tuesday to time served and three months of supervised release for lying on a bank loan application.

Awan pleaded guilty last month to the single charge. The plea agreement, reached after a yearlong investigation that was punctuated by stories pushed in conservative media and fanned by President Donald Trump claiming that Awan was a Pakistani spy involved in the hack of the Democratic National Committee computer systems, included an unusual paragraph dispelling those claims.

In an emotional hearing Tuesday in DC federal court, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan handed down the lenient punishment along with condemnations for the "unbelievable onslaught of scurrilous media attacks" and "baseless accusations" that were "lobbed at [Awan] from the highest branches of government."
Prosecutors did not oppose a sentence without further jail time, and Chutkan said Tuesday that Awan had "suffered sufficiently" and "has paid a price that he will continue to pay."

from same article

In the plea agreement reached last month, prosecutors debunked the theories, writing that they "found no evidence [Awan] illegally removed House data from the House network or from House Members' offices, stole the House Democratic Caucus Server, stole or destroyed House information technology equipment, or improperly accessed or transferred government information" after a "thorough investigation" that included interviewing 40 witnesses and taking custody of the House Democratic Caucus server.

Not as sad as watching CNN and NBC turn from news channels to conspiracy theory channels

[Spurtacular]

TSA is a pill. Chumpettes are idiots. Life goes on.

[Winehole23]

you shouldn't snub the instinct mindlessly. it's akin to reckoning the internet as public utility, or, regulating companies with monopoly power.

Spurtacular is very close here to professing an ideology he professes to hate most of the time.
