I. Introductory Statement

Imran Awan stands before the court guilty of providing a false statement on a loan

application, under 18 U.S.C. § 1014. On December 12, 2016, Imran submitted an online

application to secure a home equity line of credit for a property located at 4809 Sprayer Street

Alexandria, VA. As part of the process the applicant is asked whether or not the property is a

primary residence. Imran understood that the property was not a primary residence yet indicated

it was in order to improve the chances of securing the loan. The loan application was approved,

the money distributed, and the bank incurred a risk they were unaware of. For this, Imran Awan

accepts full responsibility, apologizes to this country, his family, and to law enforcement whose

time and resources were used to investigate and prosecute his case. This mistake has cost Imran

his job, his ability to obtain and maintain employment, his life savings, his freedom and most

notably his ability to live as a private citizen.

The loan secured in the amount of $165,000 transferred to Imran’s bank account on January

18, 2017. The entire amount of that loan was completely repaid in less than 2 months in February

2017. Therefore, as this Court knows, there was no loss to the bank. The bank actually turned a

profit on the loan almost 30 days after issuing the money which is certainly not typical with home

loans. Imran does however recognize that his action resulted in a monetary cost for the United

States, he was incarcerated for a night and was on GPS supervision for over 11 months.

Considering the costs incurred by Imran throughout this case, the nature of the offense, his

substantial cooperation, the positions taken by the United States and the presentence investigator,

and the conduct of several government officials, including the President of the United States, Imran

Case 1:17-cr-00161-TSC Document 63 Filed 08/14/18 Page 4 of 26

Awan respectfully requests this court to sentence him to time served with a fine of $40041 so he

can repay the United States for the cost incurred supervising him.

Consistent with the law set out at 18 U.S.C 3553 (a)(2),2 this Memorandum attempts to

justify the sentencing request by introducing Imran to the Court more fully as a person, providing

background information and explaining why the President of the Untied States reached out to his

over 52 million Twitter followers numerous times expressing outrage over a no-loss bank fraud

case. The irony that Donald J. Trump, of all people, expressed outrage about a case involving bank

fraud is not lost on the Defendant’s counsel but Imran is not before the court to discuss the

President’s financial history, he is here to present his story.

II. Imran’s History and the Circumstances of the Offense

A. Imran’s Story

Imran Awan grew up in a mutigenerational, working-class household on a quiet street in

Ahmad Park neighborhood of Faisalabad. His grandfather owned the house but still lived most of

the time on the nearby farm he worked, commuting back and forth on a horse-drawn cart. Imran’s

father and uncles all worked at nearby Crescent Textile Mills, making Levi’s jeans. There was

never extra money and space was tight—usually around 14 or so family members in the cramped,

three-bedroom house—but the kids got new shoes every year and everyone got enough to eat.

Imran’s generation attended decent local schools, but their heads, many of them, were filled with

ambitions of getting out of Faisalabad, study abroad, and jobs in international business.

Imran first learned of the U.S. “diversity lottery” from a cousin. He was 15-year-old. His

1 According to the presentence report the monthly cost for imprisonment is $3025.00, the monthly cost for

supervision is $364.00; the amount of $4004 represents the prorated. 2 The Court shall consider in fashioning a sentence that is “sufficient but not greater than necessary” to “reflect the

seriousness of the offense,” “afford adequate deterrence,” and comply with any other relevant purposes.

Page 6: IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE ......father and uncles all worked at nearby Crescent Textile Mills, making Levi’s jeans. There was never extra money and space was tight—usually

cousin told him it was impossible, you had to know somebody—but he also told Imran how to find

the one-page application. Imran filled it out and used all his Eid money that year to make the

necessary copies of photographs and pay for postage, directly to the U.S. State Department in

Washington, D.C.

When the letter came back around a year later saying that the family had been selected,

Imran’s parents assumed it was a scam. Only after the letter was passed around the neighborhood

and checked out by various local experts was it agreed that this was the real deal. No one in the

neighborhood had ever seen anything like this before.

Stage two of the process required that each family member interview at the U.S. embassy,

and pay a $150 interview fee. This was an outrageous amount of money for the family. Imran’s

mom sold all her jewelry to get the money for the fees for all six family members. At the interview,

the consular agent asked Imran, then 17, if he intended to register for the Selective Service. He

said he would.

The family—Imran’s dad, Muhammad, his mom, Tahira, his sister, Adeela, and his

brothers Abid and Jamal—flew to the United States (on plane tickets bought with money borrowed

from a raft of family members) on September 28, 1997. They all slept on the floor of the apartment

of a distant relative in Alexandria, Virginia. Ten days later, Imran, with hardly any English, was

the first family member to get a job, at the McDonald’s across the street. Despite his lack of

English, he worked so hard that two months later the store manager promoted him to a shift

manager.

In addition to working full-time hours at the McDonald’s, Imran attended 11th grade at

Annandale High School and took English classes at Northern Virginia Community College

(NOVA). In the summer of 1998, NOVA informed him that they had concluded that his

Case 1:17-cr-00161-TSC Document 63 Filed 08/14/18 Page 6 of 26

Page 7: IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE ......father and uncles all worked at nearby Crescent Textile Mills, making Levi’s jeans. There was never extra money and space was tight—usually

completion of high school in Pakistan (at 10th grade) counted as a U.S. high school equivalent and

thus would allow him to begin the Associate’s Degree program. Imran completed three years at

NOVA, then transferred his credits to Johns Hopkins and completed three years there, earning his

degree in May 2004.

Imran paid for every cent of his education, contributing to his family the whole time. He

worked at least one full-time job starting from his tenth day in the United States until his graduation

from JHU, when he took his first vacation. By then, he was already working full-time in a job that

would continue past graduation. In his last years at JHU he had started interning at InterAmerica

Technology Inc., a firm that provided IT services to House and Senate offices on Capitol Hill. As

part of this internship he has done some work for the office of Robert Wexler, then the U.S.

Representative for the 19th Congressional District of Florida. Wexler and his staff were so

impressed that they hired Imran directly starting in January 2004, five months before he graduated.

On the Hill, Imran worked relentlessly. He answered emails within minutes, if not seconds.

Even as he grew more successful and was hired on a part-time basis by more and more Members,

assuming responsibility for the configuration and operation of more and more computers, laptops,

printers, smartphones, iPads, and more, he maintained his rapid-fire response time, closing out

every support ticket the same day at a minimum. But what really made Imran successful, the real

reason why Members and Chiefs of Staff kept hiring him and recommending him to other

Members, was the person who showed up at the door to provide the service. Imran loved to work,

and he loved his work. He brightened people’s days. Because he just loved people, he was able to

be infinitely patient with all types on the Hill: the tech “dinosaurs” still grouching over the

introduction of email; the overburdened legislative directors too stressed to eat lunch much less

figure out the printer; the executive assistants still struggling with PowerPoint. He gave them all

not just the time of day, but just the information and help they needed, with a warm smile and a

positive attitude. A typical Imran’s story involves him chatting happily with a client, swapping

stories about kids and minor staffer gossip, all the while his fingers flying on three computers and

four smartphones, running setups and configurations and managing email chains on a dozen open

support tickets in four different offices.

Along the way, Imran got married, and with his wife Hina had three amazing daughters,

who today are 10-, 7-, and 5-year-old. The family was deeply enmeshed in the Lorton, Virginia

communities surrounding Halley and Lorton Station Elementary Schools and the Darul Huda

Mosque and Community Center, as well as a handful of close friends and their families on Capitol

Hill, including some Members. Imran’s oldest daughter loved riding horses at nearby Tamarack

Stables. His youngest took a special interest in father-daughter bowling outings. His middle child

loved drawing and painting from her earliest days. The oldest child qualified for advanced

placement in both 3rd and 4th grades.

The family endured its share of hard times. Imran’s mother died in a tragic car accident on

August 25, 2007. Around the same time, Imran’s father, with whom Imran was particularly close,

was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma. This required a removal of a kidney in 2008, but the

procedure appeared to solve the problem.

B. Overlapping Crises in 2016

After Imran’s father retired as a maintenance engineer in 2006, he focused on real estate

projects in his hometown of Faisalabad that were partly about making money but more about his

own personal legacy and giving back to his community. In particular, he used almost the entirety

of his savings to buy a 25% stake in Gulshan e Farid, a 35-acre undeveloped parcel not far from

the family home that could be used to develop a “colony”—a contained residential community that

typically includes a mosque and a school. The investment, however, was plagued with legal

difficulties related to securing the remaining collectively held interests in the land, and practical

difficulties including harassment by local squatters seeking to “grab” the land by forcible

occupation.

In the summer of 2016, motivated by lurking fears about his health, Imran’s father traveled

to Pakistan to try to resolve the various issues and set the project on a path to development, as part

of his life legacy. Imran traveled to Pakistan later that summer to assist him. In celebration of both

his father’s and mother’s legacies, Imran, his father and a wider group of relatives conceived of a

plan to build a small health clinic and maternity ward on part of the old family farm—the land that

his grandfather commuted to by horse-cart when Imran was growing up, and where Imran’s mother

was buried after the car accident.

In September 2016, the abdominal pain that had caused Imran’s father to worry about his

health became acute. Without knowing that Imran’s father had only one kidney, a Pakistani doctor

prescribed pain medication that caused rapid kidney failure. The extended family in Faisalabad

placed a memorial brick at the site of the hoped-for health clinic—also his mother’s grave and his

father’s forthcoming grave—and Imran’s father returned to the United States for treatment and

hopefully a new kidney, although everybody understood how serious the situation was. See Ex.

B1 (photo of brick-laying). Imran stayed in Pakistan to try to deal with the land grabbers and lay

the groundwork for the health clinic project. See Ex. B2 (photo of Imran with local orphanage that

would partner with the proposed health clinic). The complications in Pakistan continued

throughout the fall. Day and day, Imran was emotionally devastated that he could not break free

to return to the United States to be with his sick father. In the United States, doctors confirmed that

the cancer had returned and were working to identify the extent of it.

Imran finally managed to return to the U.S. to be with his father on December 9, 2016. For

the next month and half, until his father died, Imran slept in the hospital next to his father every

night. Exhibit B3 is a photo of Imran next to his sleeping (dying) father dated December 11, 2016.

He was emotionally ravaged from his father’s illness and likely impending death, as well

as several months of frustrations and injustices on the Pakistan land development. He was in a

panic to get funds to resolve the land issue and fund the health clinic, as well as to have cash on

hand in case his father could get a new kidney. He knew he and Hina had enough money saved

away in their TSPs, but understood there to be a lengthy process to receive those funds without tax

consequences. The next day, Imran made the foolish and wrong decision in the application for the

home equity line of credit (LOC) as reflected in the Statement of Offense. The extent of his regret

and remorse today for that decision cannot be overstated. But once in motion, he followed

through—obtaining the LOC funds and disposing of them (and repaying them)—as reflected in

the Statement of Offense.

While Imran has genuine remorse for his actions, it is nonetheless important to note that

at no time did Imran ever think he was stealing or otherwise “getting away” with money that was

not his. He knew that he had the funds to pay the loans from his and Hina’s TSPs—as in fact he

did pay them up less than three months after receiving the loan money. What he needed—or

rather, what he felt like he needed, in his panicked and distressed state in December 2016 and

January 2017—was timely access to cash to deal with all the crises surrounding his father’s

conditions. He chose absolutely the wrong course of action to deal with that desperately perceived

need.

III. The Sentence Already Served by Imran

A. The Politically-Motivated and Racially-Tinged Vilification of Imran Awan

What happened to Imran Awan and his family in the media, and as part of the investigation

of this case, is ugly and tragic. It has been a process of brutal and relentless vilification and

demonization. In the last six months, the government has come to understand the nature of what

has been happening and, while working diligently to assure itself that all the bogus allegations

driving the demonization are untrue, has also worked diligently to sustain the process that led to

this plea deal. Imran is truly grateful for the decency and good will shown by the government in

the past six months.

On one level, Imran more than anyone wants to turn his eyes away and forget the ugliness

and unfairness of the last 18 months. Nonetheless, the outright lies and political tactics should be

recounted and considered because they demonstrate just how much Imran has already suffered at

the hands of the government. This reference to “the government” is certainly not directed at the

assigned United States Attorney, the Capitol Police or the FBI but is squarely directed at a group

of elected officials led by the President of the United States who swore to abide by our Constitution

when they were elected.

As an overview, Imran strongly urges the Court to read the op-ed published by former Rep.

Steve Israel in the Washington Post, attached hereto as Ex. C-1. It is worth noting that neither

Imran nor any of his associates (or attorneys) ever worked for Rep. Israel, met him, or had any

involvement in or knowledge of the op-ed before it was published. As Rep. Israel observes

regarding the inception of the whole affair:

Maybe if the staffer’s name was Ed Smith, this would have been the

end of a fairly uninteresting story. But the United States is in the

white-knuckled grip of a xenophobic president and his base, and this

congressional staffer had made one grave mistake, or at least his

Case 1:17-cr-00161-TSC Document 63 Filed 08/14/18 Page 11 of 26

Page 12: IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE ......father and uncles all worked at nearby Crescent Textile Mills, making Levi’s jeans. There was never extra money and space was tight—usually

9

parents had: He was named Imran Awan. He is a Pakistani American

who had access to computers in congressional offices.

To the right-wing conspiracy peddlers, the appearance of it was too

tempting to be just a headline about an IT staffer. Led by the Daily

Caller, they wove a conspiracy theory that belonged in a spy thriller.

Awan, they suggested, might have been a mole for Pakistani

intelligence services or terror cells. He was employed by liberal

Democrats who might have provided the cover he needed to access

and compromise highly sensitive data on Capitol Hill. (If he had

worked in my office, this “highly sensitive data” would have been

letters from constituents demanding stop signs in their

neighborhoods.) They demanded that Awan’s Democratic

employers fire him. They accused him of espionage and conspiracy

to steal data and hardware. They even accused Awan’s ailing father

of delivering a mysterious USB drive to Pakistani intelligence.

And what shriller amplifier of the right-wing echo chamber than

Trump himself, whose tweets about Awan called him a “Pakistani

mystery man.” The president went a step further in abusing his

power by tweeting at his Justice Department how to investigate and

what outcome he wanted.

Ex. C1; see also Ex. C2 (Sun Sentinel editorial dated July 9, 2018) (“But the hounds kept baying.

Trump harped on the ‘Pakistani mystery man’ who, he implied, had been the one hacking the

Democratic National Committee’s server, not the Russians. He even tweeted that the Justice

Department should not “‘let Awan & Debbie Wasserman Schultz off the hook.’”).

While the Israel op-ed covers the disturbing overall thrust of the demonization of Imran

Awan, the following points should be highlighted: the attacks on Imran were (i) driven and

coordinated by official conduct (ii) for political gain, were (iii) utterly deranged and often

threatening, and (iv) show no signs of subsiding any time soon.

i. Driven by Official Conduct

As Rep. Israel notes, our sitting President has played a key role in driving the utterly false

and vicious demonization of Imran, for obviously politically self-interested reasons. Just some of

Trump’s tweets and quotes regarding Imran are attached at Ex. C3. As the U.S. intelligence

Page 13: IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE ......father and uncles all worked at nearby Crescent Textile Mills, making Levi’s jeans. There was never extra money and space was tight—usually

10

community has come to the firm conclusion that Russian state-linked hackers interfered in the

2016 presidential election in Trump’s favor, and as Trump has desperately sought to resist that

same conclusion, Trump has consistently pointed to Imran—offensively as the “Pakistani mystery

man,” as if he doesn’t even have an identity apart from his national and ethnic origin—as some

possible alternate “explanation,” although how that explains anything makes no apparent sense.

Standing next to Russian President Vladimir Putin at the infamous recent press conference in

Helsinki, Trump responded to a reporter’s question on the subject (“Just now, President Putin

denied having anything to do with the election interference in 2016. Every U.S. intelligence agency

has concluded that Russia did. My first question for you sir is, who do you believe?”) with an

incoherent rambling pointing some sort of a finger at Imran (and falsely suggesting he worked for

the Democratic National Committee) as well as “Hillary Clinton’s emails.” Ex. C4 (NPR

transcript); see also Ex. C5 (NY Times interview with Trump dated Dec. 28, 2017) (Trump

responding to Russia questions by referencing “this Pakistani guy” and Hillary Clinton’s emails).

The President continually accuses Imran of stealing servers sometimes appearing to reference the

server used by House Democrats and sometimes referring to a DNC server. The President who has

surely at least been briefed that Imran never worked a day in his life for the DNC does not appear

to be bothered by that fact and continually states that Imran worked for the DNC. See Ex. C4 (July

16, 2018 interview at Putin summit in Helsinki, Finland). Regarding the House Democrat’s server

that Imran did in fact work on, the President knew or should have known that that server in question

was in the hands of law enforcement from the very start of this investigation, a point confirmed by

the United State Attorney in paragraph eight of the Awan plea deal. Even after the President’s own

U.S. Attorney publicly stated that there was no missing server the President still made public

statements accusing Imran of stealing a server. Had a statement like this been made by a U.S.

Case 1:17-cr-00161-TSC Document 63 Filed 08/14/18 Page 13 of 26

Attorney, they would have been severely sanctioned for publicly referencing an uncharged

offence. An uncharged offence that was thoroughly investigated and proven to be false. While the

U.S Attorneys, the FBI Agents, and Capitol Police officers all have to follow the law the President

is above it and can make these accusations to the over 52 million Twitter followers he has causing

public outcry and hundreds if not thousands of stories by media friends of his.3

Trump is not the only sitting government official who has indulged in false or outrageously

speculative and racially-tinged attacks on Imran for political benefit. Representative Louie

Gohmert insisted that Imran should face “hundreds of potential federal charges,”4 and when the

exhaustively investigated and negotiated plea deal in this case was announced, Gohmert’s response

was that it was “unfortunate” that “the only thing they've indicted Mr. Awan for [is] for basically

making a false statement to get a loan.”5 Rep. Steve King similarly announced that Imran “should

have been locked up in jail a long time ago with all his family members.”6 Rep. Ron DeSantis

opined that Imran’s conduct was “clearly criminal” and moreover at the center of "one of the all-

time congressional scandals in the last 30 years."7 These and other elected officials were not just

responding to the speculative “reports” in the conspiracy media (although they certainly did that

too), but generating conspiracies with their own unhinged speculation—for example, when it was

reported that there was a dispute over the materials on a laptop that had been lost by Imran on the

3 The Daily Caller, a right-wing media outlet founded by Tucker Carlson has published over 100 stories

about Imran Awan during the course of the investigation in this case. 4 Jeff Poor, Gohmert on Wasserman Schultz-Awan IT Scandal: ‘Hundreds of Potential Federal Charges

Hill, Rep. Gohmert responded by telling The Daily Caller that the lost laptop reflected “was a

deliberate act by a cunning suspect” because “Imran Awan is a calculating person who made great

efforts to cover his tracks, both electronically and physically.”8 And while the bread-and-butter of

the attacks on Imran were quotes to The Daily Caller and interviews on Fox News, these elected

representatives also took concrete steps to mark their actions with a more official character. For

example, Senator Charles Grassley wrote to the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security

demanding that she produce the “Alien file” for Imran and his entire extended family; Rep. Ron

DeSantis wrote to the U.S. Attorney General demanding investigation of Imran because “Pakistan

is home to numerous terrorist organizations”9; and Rep. Gohmert and others staged an informal

congressional “hearing” on Imran’s case that was simultaneously pathetic, and a chilling

demonstration of the propagandist power, in that it occurred inside the Capitol complex and

generated a flood of news reports that treated it as an official hearing.10

ii. For Political Gain

The fact that the attacks on Imran and his family were calculated for political gain is

obvious from the headlines the attacks generated: “Imran Awan Scandal Shows Just How Much

Dirt Dems Wanted to Hide By Focusing on Trump-Russia”11; “Could The Awan-Schultz Scandal

Bring Down The Democratic Party?”12; and so forth. The National Republican Campaign

Committee has run campaign ads using Imran as a scare tactic.13 Rep. Steve King issued a public

comment connecting the attacks to the political claim that:

[t]he GOP wants to put the government back on its rails again and

operating efficiently [while] Democrats want to pull it down. . .

[Democrats] are funneling taxpayer dollars to people who, at a

minimum, are not natural-born American citizens. If they’re sending

money to Pakistan and absconding to Pakistan, they don’t have

allegiance to the United States, either.14

As these headlines and comments reveal, the attacks Imran has suffered are part of a much larger

political agenda aimed at attacking Democrats—Imran’s employers—and inciting outrage on

various points ranging from “political correctness” to immigration laws to national security to the

“lurking threat” of Muslims in the right-wing imagination. Rep. King publicly speculated that

Imran was “in the hands of the Taliban or ISIS”15 and The Daily Caller and other “news”

organizations ran stories with incendiary headlines and images—for example, a photo of Muslims

apparently burning a U.S. flag—with no connection to the specific substance of the story. 16

Perhaps it is all just a “political theater.” But the fact that such a personal destruction has

become a politically accepted collateral consequence illustrates a deep inhumanity and injustice in

our politics today. The Court cannot solve these deeper problems in this sentencing. Nonetheless

it is submitted that it is relevant to the Court’s consideration of all the circumstances that Imran’s

identity and dignity have been so basely abused and manipulated for others’ political gain, adding

yet another layer of pain and affront to what Imran has suffered.

iii. Deranged and Threatening

While the official attacks may be gruesome “political theater” and outrageous in their own

right, the outcome those attacks have generated in the audience of right-wing political circles were

terrifyingly real. The defense does not wish to reward these absurd and offensive lies and

manipulations with further attention, but respectfully points the Court to just some of what is out

there to complete the picture of what Imran has had to endure in the last 20 months. Juvenile

conspiracy theorist George Webb, already known to this Court, has reduced his incessant claim

that Imran is part of a “spy ring in Congress” to outright sloganeering, printing lapel buttons and

posts banners all around Washington. See Ex. C6. Webb found and published online the social

security numbers of Imran and his family. Conspiracy theorists have sought to link Imran to the

death of Seth Rich,17 the death of a Navy seal,18 the Pakistan Intelligence Service (ISI), Hezbollah,

the Taliban, ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood, and (apparently no right-wing conspiracy would be

complete without) an imaginary pedophilia network.19 The individuals peddling these theories

have regularly shown up at Imran’s house, at his daughter’s school, at pretrial services, his lawyer’s

office, and at the federal courthouse.

The thinly-veiled and occasionally unveiled racism and religious bigotry behind the

conspiracies has predictably degenerated into thinly-veiled and occasionally unveiled threats of

violence: “Tic-toc you will pay for your betrayal of this country #Imranawan”; “no worries Mr.

President, these thugs will pay for the crimes they have done against America”; “#Vigilantes will

take law into their own hands against #AwanBrothers.” See Ex. C7. Counsel’s office has for

months fielded death threat phone calls and emails: “you will die”; “Traitors for hire”; “tick tock,

tick tock; you’re going down Gowen!” Beyond the profound psychological impact of these kinds

of threats and harassment, Imran has suffered linked concrete harms, such as when his counsel

revealed to the Court during a status hearing that Imran was working as an Uber driver. The

conspiracy media began harassing Uber and Imran’s driver status was promptly revoked.20

iv. Ongoing

The hardest truth about all this repulsive harassment is that it is not going away anytime

soon. Imran is going to continue to suffer. The tactic of distracting attention from the investigation

of President Trump by pointing at “the Pakistani mystery man” is now entrenched in this particular

round of political football, as illustrated by the Helsinki press conference, and countless other

sources. The resulting orgy of lunatic conspiracy-mongering and harassment directed at Imran just

gets worse and worse. There was hope, however faint, that the clarity of the government’s

assurance in the public plea document that it had fully investigated all the various allegations

would help bring down the hysteria. It appears to have only made it worse. Rep. Gohmert

responded by attacking the FBI: “There are too many holdovers apparently from Mueller's day and

Comey’s day.”21 Four days after the plea agreement the President again reached out to his 52

million plus followers tweeting:

“The Rigged Witch Hunt, originally headed by FBI lover boy Peter S (for one year)

& now, 13 Angry Democrats, should look into the missing DNC Sever, Crooked

Hillary’s illegally deleted Emails, the Pakistani Fraudster, Uranium One, Podesta

& so much more. It’s a Democrat con job!”

The politically-motivated abuse of Imran and his story is likely to become more, not less

intense and combustible as the Trump investigation proceeds. The 18 months of insane media

attention and false public accusations against Imran unfairly cost Imran his job (not one accusation

about Imran’s work on the Hill has been sustained), his privacy, his life savings and his ability to

earn a living.

B. The Damage to Imran’s Reputation, Career, Family, Social Standing, and Sense of

Personal Security

In the face of this deluge of vicious attacks, Imran has lost almost everything he built

through 20 years of relentless, double full-time work and study starting, as noted, 10 days after his

arrival in this country in 1997. Today he is destitute, adrift from his community and much of his

support network, fearful, depressed, and generally emotionally shattered. He does have the

capacity to rebuild, and his friends and community will come back to support him. But he has a

long way to go.

i. Reputation and Career

Even before he was indicted, Imran lost all of the IT services contracts with Member offices

that had been providing him with a six-figure salary annually for at least the last decade. Many

offices were managed by close friends who were desperate to keep Imran hired, but who

17

nonetheless had to conclude that they couldn’t justify the necessary expenditure of political capital

given the intensity and high-level nature of the attacks. The one exception, for a time, was Rep.

Debbie Wasserman Shultz, who kept Imran on staff as a consultant for at a nominal salary in part

to register her discomfort with the injustice of the whole process.22 She paid an enormous political

price, as the attacks quickly morphed into “Wasserman Schultz-Awan IT Scandal.”23

Some of reputational and career harm Imran has suffered and will suffer as he seeks to

rebuild in the future is a legitimate or at least unexpected consequence of the false loan statement

he has acknowledged and is taking responsibility for. But it is obvious that a large part of that harm

will flow from the avalanche of allegations that are now irrevocably linked in the media—but not

legitimately linked—to this case. When future prospective employers “Google” Imran, or receive

a full disclosure from him, the vastness and viciousness of the attacks on him are likely to

overwhelm even the best-intentioned employers. Certainly, it is difficult to imagine any

recuperation of Imran’s career in the politically-sensitive environment of the Hill—where all of

Imran’s professional contacts and institutional expertise lies—despite the fact that it is not

unheard-of for Members of Congress to hire qualified and reformed individuals with a felony

record. In any event, both the legitimate consequences of Imran’s wrongdoing and the illegitimate

consequences of the vilification campaign against him should be fully appreciated by the Court in

assessing the necessity of additional punishment in any form.

ii. Personal Life

Imran has suffered personally in many ways as a result of this case and the public

vilification he has endured. But the worst pain he has experienced has come not from what he

endured individually, but from having to watch what his family and especially his three young

daughters have had to endure in this insane process. In early 2017, as the conspiracy theories began

to emerge, and strange individuals began to watch their house and even their daughters’ school,

Imran and Hina decided it would be better for Hina to take the children and stay with relatives in

Faisalabad for several months. Even though this required taking the children out of school, it

seemed more necessary to shield them from the utter insanity and unpredictability of what was

happening in the media and all around them. While the family was fortunate to have the option of

a low-cost place to stay with relatives (necessary because at that time Imran and Hina had lost their

jobs and had no income to meet significant mortgage and other obligations), nonetheless the girls

in particular had very limited exposure to Pakistan and were often terrified by the experience. Hina

and the girls did not feel safe traveling around the city, so they ended up spending almost all their

time, for almost six months, in a single room in a small, crowded house. The house was in disrepair

and at one point infested with mosquitos, leaving the girls absolutely covered in bites.

When Hina and the girls finally returned (after realizing the insanity in the U.S. was not

going to simply subside), their oldest child had to repeat fourth grade and the middle child started

first grade, all under a cloud of rumors, fear, and corresponding social ostracization. The oldest

child and best able to perceive (though hardly understand) the attacks, has been hardest hit,

becoming far quieter and more suspicious of new people than she was before. She and the other

children are no longer invited to birthday parties and play dates. Even the family’s religious

community has pulled away from them—a fact which is sad and disappointing, but totally

understandable of a targeted faith community in the age of President Trump.

Page 22: IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE ......father and uncles all worked at nearby Crescent Textile Mills, making Levi’s jeans. There was never extra money and space was tight—usually

19

Finally, the Court must seriously consider the impact that the deranged, politically-driven,

but hyper-personal and often apparently officially-sanctioned vilification campaign that has rained

down on Imran over the last 20 months has had on his emotional well-being and basic sense of

security in our society and its institutions. Especially in the first year of the attacks, before the

government began to provide assurances that it had looked into the various allegations and found

them to be inventions, Imran had genuine reason to fear that the same wave of hysteria that was

driving the political discourse was also going to drive the prosecution of this case and could lead

to him facing politicized charges of espionage or treason.

While Imran can see the background prejudices and politics at play like anyone else, at a

deeper level he cannot understand where all the rage behind these politics came from, why he was

targeted, who he can trust, or when (if ever) it is going to end. And, of course, he doesn’t know

what to do about it. Nor do his attorneys.

IV. The (Lack of) Necessity of Further Punishment

The Court must fashion a sentence that is “sufficient but not greater than necessary” to

comply with the purposes set out at 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2), that is, “the need for the sentence

imposed—

(A) to reflect the seriousness of the offense, to promote respect for the law,

and to provide just punishment for the offense;

(B) to afford adequate deterrence to criminal conduct;

(C) to protect the public from further crimes of the defendant; and

(D) to provide the defendant with needed educational or vocational

training, medical care, or other correctional treatment in the most

effective manner.

§ 3553(a)(2). Today, in light of the enormous hardship that Imran Awan has already endured linked

(in part) to his acknowledged guilt on the false statements charge and (in larger part) the vilification

campaign described above, none of the purposes in § 3553(a)(2) would be served by the imposition

Case 1:17-cr-00161-TSC Document 63 Filed 08/14/18 Page 22 of 26

Page 23: IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE ......father and uncles all worked at nearby Crescent Textile Mills, making Levi’s jeans. There was never extra money and space was tight—usually

20

of jail time or supervised release. Imran has not only suffered the gruesome out-of-court

vilification and its practical and psychological consequences, as described above, he effectively

served a year-long sentence of high-intensity supervision probation including the wearing of a

GPS device, a curfew, and geographic restrictions that continue up to this day. He additionally,

spent a night in jail when he was held on a place holder charge prior to the completion of the

government’s investigation. The “just punishment” that protects the concerns of § 3553(a)(2) and

most “promotes respect for the rule of law” is a sentence of time served and fine that will repay

the United States for the costs of Imran’s supervision.

A. Section 3553(a)(2) Factors

i. The seriousness of the offense, a correspondingly just punishment, and

promotion of respect for the rule of law

Imran is not here to minimize the significance of his admitted violation of 18 U.S.C. §

1014. However, the Court’s analysis needs not dwell long on seriousness under § 3553(a)(2)(A)

because the harsh consequences Imran has already suffered are already vastly disproportionate to

any view of the seriousness of this § 1014 offense, which led to no actual loss. Speaking only to

character, not seriousness, this was a technical violation designed to surmount a technical obstacle

and gain access to funds that Imran knew he had but could not access in the short term. It was a

foolish and irresponsible thing to do, but it does not reflect an underlying criminal, anti-social, or

even deeply untrustworthy character.

Even though Imran and his team knew all along that all of the accusations made about him

regarding his employment at the House of Representatives were false we still insisted on providing

the government with full cooperation. Imran and team met with law enforcement over 13 times

including 8 lengthy debrief sessions at the U.S. Attorney’s office. Debrief sessions lasted over 4

hours and covered almost every single aspect of Imran’s employment at the House of

Case 1:17-cr-00161-TSC Document 63 Filed 08/14/18 Page 23 of 26

Page 24: IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE ......father and uncles all worked at nearby Crescent Textile Mills, making Levi’s jeans. There was never extra money and space was tight—usually

21

Representatives. Imran provided thousands of documents to the law enforcement and consented to

searches of all of his devices, emails, and storage devices. Imran and his team could have played

legal games and not cooperated at all but instead he showed respect for the rule of law and

answered every single question law enforcement had. The U.S. Attorneys, the FBI, and Capitol

Police have all characterized Imran’s cooperation as Substantial.

ii. Adequate deterrence and protecting the public from further crimes

The purposes in § 3553(a)(2)(B)-(C) are easily addressed. As noted, Imran has already

suffered egregious consequences—certainly enough to impose any humane deterrent effect.

(Indeed, from a deterrence perspective, the actual consequences would be deeply inhumane if

imposed in a calculating matter, more like cutting off a hand to deter petty theft.) Similarly, Imran’s

lack of any criminal record whatsoever and the unique circumstances of the poor decision-making

behind his § 1014 offense together strongly mitigate any concern that the public could be at risk

of further crime from him.

iii. Provide for correctional and rehabilitative needs of the defendant

Finally, the Court must consider Imran’s correctional and rehabilitative needs. As already

observed, Imran is a first-time offender who made poor choices during a state of emotional crisis;

there is no basis to think that he has deeper criminal tendencies which need correctional or

rehabilitative treatment. Rather, Imran’s “rehabilitative needs” in the unique circumstances of this

case are his needs to make a clean break from the venomous atmosphere surrounding this

proceeding (outside the court), from the helplessness of a person forced negotiate in fear with

(ultimately responsible) agents of a government that was by turns openly hateful of him. His task

is to escape his tormentors in the media and in Congress, to begin to lift the shame, fear, and other

psychological harm that the media vilification has inflicted on him, and of course to begin to

Page 25: IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE ......father and uncles all worked at nearby Crescent Textile Mills, making Levi’s jeans. There was never extra money and space was tight—usually

22

rebuild what will surely be a long process of rebuilding his professional life.

V. Conclusion

Imran Awan does not minimize the gravity of his conduct. But he has already suffered

more severe consequences linked to this case than any person should have to suffer regardless of

the crime. The truth of the matter is that this memo only scratches the surface of the attacks that

have been laid on him, and examples of people taking advantage of him because he was under

investigation.

While the punishment that Imran has suffered has not been at the hands of the Court or

the prosecutorial authorities, and to be clear it is not reflective of the conduct of the Department

of Justice in this case, much less the government attorneys who have appeared before this Court,

it has nonetheless been inflicted in significant part by U.S. government officials and those acting

in concert with them, for political gain, without any shred of decency or due process, and without

any indication of an end date. As noted, the Court does not have the power to say “enough is

enough” to the whole of society. But it can say it with the tools it has, including its broad

discretion in fashioning a just sentence in this case. With the greatest respect for this Court and

the rule of law, we urge the Court to impose a fine, sentence Imran to time served and let Imran

Awan walk out of this courtroom and move immediately to the task of rebuilding his life,

reconnecting with him family, and restoring his faith in the decency of American society and its

institutions.

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultzdefiantly stands by her decision to keep aninformation technology aide on her payroll for six months after he was banned from theHouse network and fired by other members of Congress.

“I believe that I did the right thing, and I would do it again,” Wasserman Schultz saidThursday in an exclusive interview with the Sun Sentinel. “There are times when you can’tbe afraid to stand alone, and you have to stand up for what’s right.

“I believe that I did the right thing, and I would do it again,” Wasserman Schultz said inan interview with the Sun Sentinel about her decision to keep Imran Awan employedas information technology aide for six months – after other members of Congress firedhim.

“It would have been easier for me to just fire him,” she said.

The Weston Democrat did fire Imran Awan last week after he was arrested on bank fraudcharges at an airport while trying to leave the country.

As the former Democratic National Committee chairwoman, Wasserman Schultz is themost prominent Democrat who employed Awan. Her decision to keep employing Awanhas been under fire from her Democratic primary challenger, Republicans and multipleconservative websites. They’ve suggested Wasserman Schultz is hiding something and theAwan matter is much more serious than she’s letting on.

His arrest, the congresswoman said, had nothing to do with the months-long investigationof Awan as an IT worker for a variety of members of Congress. An FBI affidavit filed withthe criminal complaint said Awan and his wife claimed a property used to secure a homeequity line of credit was a “principal residence,” when it was, in fact, a rental property.Wasserman Schultz said there still hasn’t been any evidence presented that he’s doneanything wrong involving his work for Congress.

And, she said, she believes he may have been put underscrutiny because of his religious faith. Awan is Muslim.

Awan, his wife and brothers worked for years for variousmembers of Congress, including Wasserman Schultz. Hewas a so-called shared employee, with each office payinga part-time salary.

In February, Wasserman Schultz said, chiefs of staffs for members of Congress were toldthat Awan was under investigation and his access to the House network was suspended.House payroll records show that multiple members of Congress terminated Awan quickly,early in February.

Instead of firing him, Wasserman Schultz said her office worked with the House chiefadministration officer to develop a job description that “would allow him to continue to dowork … until such time as there were other charges brought or we had some evidence thatthere was something that was produced that warranted further action.”

Even without access to the IT network, WassermanSchultz said, “there are plenty of technological issues thatan IT person can assist with. He didn’t have access to thenetwork, but he was able to give us guidance and adviceand troubleshoot on a wide variety of other technologicalissues.” IT isn’t limited to computer network issues, shesaid; it includes phones, printers, the website and helpingpeople with software.

“I had grave concerns about his due process rights beingviolated,” she said. “When their investigation wasreviewed with me, I was presented with no evidence ofanything that they were being investigated for. And so

that, in me, gave me great concern that his due process rights were being violated. Thatthere were racial and ethnic profiling concerns that I had,” she said.

Wasserman Schultz said the chiefs of staff were told that Awan and his family memberswere having their access to the House IT network cut off because they were underinvestigation for “procurement violations and data transfer violations.” WassermanSchultz said from what she has been able to discern the data transfer issue doesn’t involveanything sinister.

A law enforcement official familiar with the case said after Awan’s arrest there was noevidence of anything beyond the mortgage fraud for which he was charged and noindications of intelligence or national security implications. Because this is a pending case,the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington said it wouldn’t have any comment beyond thefederal complaint.

Instead, Wasserman Schultz said, it involved “transferring data outside the securenetwork, which I think amounted to use of apps that the House didn’t find compliant withour security requirements.”

An example, she said, is the storage service Dropbox, which allows people to storedocuments and other images and share them with others. Wasserman Schultz said shebelieves other IT employees engage in the same kind of data movement as Awan but aren’tbeing investigated.

Wasserman Schultz said Awan didn’t have access to anyclassified information. She and other members ofCongress aren’t allowed to store classified information intheir offices and on their computers.

When they go to secure locations to receive classifiedinformation, the members of Congress aren’t allowed tobring in any kind of electronics — Wasserman Schultzeven has to leave her Fitbit fitness tracker outside — andaren’t allowed to leave the room with any written notes.

In 2016, Awan was paid $20,000 by Wasserman Schultz.In 2017, he was paid about $7,800, from the beginning of

the year until his July 25 termination. His salary rate didn’t change while his dutieschanged, spokesman David Damron said.

Wasserman Schultz said she hired Awan when she went to Congress in 2005, at therecommendation of then-U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, a Democrat from Palm Beach County.She said he worked in various offices as needed.

Wasserman Schultz was also chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee from2011 to 2016, resigning last summer after WikiLeaks published stolen internal partyemails. She said Awan never worked for the DNC.

She said her concerns over the investigation were thereason she grilled Capitol Police Chief MatthewR. Verderosa about a laptop computer at a May 18 HouseAppropriations subcommittee hearing.

She said the laptop in question was issued by her office toAwan. “He accidentally left it somewhere,” a loss

Wasserman Schultz said was reported to the CapitolPolice. When the Capitol Police recovered the laptop, theagency wanted to search its contents.

She said she has agreed to allow the police to examine thelaptop and wasn’t attempting to hide anything. “This wasnot my laptop. I have never seen that laptop. I don’t knowwhat’s on the laptop,” she said.

She said her concern about the nature of the investigationwas what prompted her to warn Verderosa at the hearingthat he could face consequences. “I was trying to get more

information I wanted to make sure they were following the rules.”

Since Awan’s arrest, Republicans have been questioning Wasserman Schultz. U.S.Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Ponte Vedre Beach, said, “There’s just a lot of behavior that is noteasy to explain.” DeSantis, a likely candidate for Florida governor next year, said the issue“could be a significant security breach.”

Ronna Romney McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, was evenmore certain in a radio interview. “There is a huge national security issue,” McDaniel said.“She’s not cooperating. She’s obstructing every chance she can.”

Wasserman Schultz said much of the coverage of the case on conservative websites andsocial media is “completely untrue.”

“The right-wing media circus fringe has immediately focused not on this run-of-the-millinvestigation just reporting the facts, but jumped to outrageous, egregious conclusions

that they were trying to, that they have ties to terroristsand that they were stealing data,” she said.

She cited suggestions he was attempting to flee thecountry and emphasis on his ultimate destination —Pakistan — before his arrest on the bank fraud charge.The country is widely known as a battleground for Islamicterrorists.

She said it’s absurd to conclude he was trying to flee thecountry. He filed a form to take an unpaid leave ofabsence and talked to Wasserman Schultz’s staff chief,Tracie Pough, about his departure and return dates.

“He is from Pakistan. … He’s an American, a naturalizedAmerican citizen. His children are natural born citizens.His wife is a naturalized American citizen. And I meanwhen you’re trying to flee, you don’t fill out a form withyour employer and go on unpaid leave,” she said.

Awan’s wife, Hina Alvi, was already in Pakistan, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit filedin U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., in connection with the case. Even though bothhad return tickets, the agent said he didn’t believe Alvi intended to return to the U.S. Thecouple had wired $283,000 to Pakistan in January, the affidavit said. The wire transferincluded $165,000 from the home equity line of credit.

Wasserman Schultz said the Awan case is getting so much attention from conservativemedia outlets because they’re attempting to distract people from the investigationinto whether President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to influence the2016 election. “Any opportunity they can to pull people’s eyes and ears away from thatthey take.”

Until Thursday’s 35-minute interview with the Sun Sentinel, at her district office inSunrise, Wasserman Schultz’ comments about Awan have come through hercommunications director.

She said she hasn’t been hiding from her constituents or the controversy. WassermanSchultz said she’s spent a few days on vacation after Congress began its August recess atthe end of last week. On Wednesday night, she spoke at a Nova Southeastern Universityevent in Dania Beach. On Thursday morning, she spoke at an organized labor event inHollywood. She said she plans a heavy schedule of events in the district later in the month.
