Of course he does.
The saga of the Awan clan has been percolating through the conservative media for a while. Especially through the reporting of Luke Rosiak at the Daily Caller. There's fraud, illegal access and a lot of dubious connections. Along with efforts by Debbie Wasserman Schultz to cover the whole thing up.
But the story has now gone mainstream after the arrest of Imran Awan while trying to, allegedly, flee the country. Fortunately his lawyer has the perfect excuse... Islamophobia.
"This is clearly a right-wing media-driven prosecution by a United States Attorney's Office that wants to prosecute people for working while Muslim," Chris Gowen, Awan's attorney, said in an email declaring his client's innocence.
Yes, clearly the investigation by the FBI, Capitol Police and the numerous piles of evidence all come down to Islamophobia.
Alvi, 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.
That is apparently what Imran tried to do as well. But let's not jump to any Islamophobic conclusions.
