Awans' Lawyer: Our Clients Were Ordered to Falsify Records by Democratic Congressmen

How does Luke Rozniak keep scooping the MSM on these stories?

Oh right, he's actually covering them instead of covering them up.

House Democrats ordered the systematic falsification of records showing how they spend their taxpayer-provided office budgets, according to lawyers for two former House information technology (IT) aides.

It's a remarkable accusation that pits sitting lawmakers against the former aides, Imran Awan, his brothers Abid and Jamal, and his wife Hina Alvi....

One of Imran’s lawyers, Aaron Page, acknowledged the invoicing discrepancy Aug. 21, telling The Daily Caller News Foundation, "This is just how things have been done for forever. This is what experienced members of Congress expect: to expedite things, they adjust the pricing."

If members or senior staff instructed IT aides to misrepresent how budgets were spent, that could potentially explain why officials have not charged the Awans with crimes related to procurement, even a full year after House authorities gathered documentation showing invoices that claimed expensive technological items cost $499 instead of their true price: potentially an open-and-shut violation.

"The only reason you’re not seeing charges is because the Democrats who employed him are not cooperating," a senior Republican congressional official with direct knowledge of the probe told TheDCNF last month.
