The already strange case of Imran Awan, one of 3 brothers who were handling IT for many top Dems in Congress keeps getting stranger.
Awan has three lawyers, one of whom is Clinton pal, Chris Gowen. The presence of Gowen has been deemed damning. Except Gowen seems to be no better at this kind of thing than Hillary.
Gowen asked that Imran Awan’s GPS monitoring bracelet be removed, citing that Imran might need to attend to an emergency with his children. In a press conference outside court, Gowen admitted that the children are in Pakistan and refused to explain the discrepancy.
“His ability to parent, which may well be single parenting, if there is an emergency…” Gowen said.
He also asked for other restrictions on his movement to be lifted, saying he has been driving for Uber, but the company had no record of any driver matching several variations of Imran’s name.
Yes, suggesting that Awan shouldn't have a GPS monitor because he might need to deal with parenting emergencies in Pakistan is really compelling.
Hillary Clinton has already tried a defense based on crazy lies. It doesn't work that well.
Gowen asked that Imran no longer be barred from traveling more than 50 miles, claiming that Imran — who made $165,000 a year in Congress and also owned four houses with his wife, needed money and was driving Uber. “He is driving for Uber and the 50 mile radius makes that hard… if he rejects a call he will lose his job.”
Uber spokesman Susan Hendrick said there was no record of an Imran Awan matching his description listed as driving for the company.
But they really do want him out of that monitoring bracelet. Considering the flight risk issue, that's about as suspicious as it gets.
