Why do you mention the Awan Brothers? They have nothing to do with Crowdstrike.

If these implications are true... and these large payments coincide with some kind of action (or inaction) related to Shawn Lucas and/or Seth Rich, that are made by the DNC. The payments were made before/after the resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz by the way:

  • 7/10/16 = Date of Seth Rich's death
  • 7/11/16 = $98k paid to Crowdstrike for "Maintenance" via the DNC
  • 7/24/16 = D.W. Schultz resignation (I'd like to remind you that she maintained Imran Awan's employment until the day after he was arrested - 7/24/17 & fired on 7/25/17)
  • 8/2/16 = Date of Shawn Lucas' death
  • 8/3/16 = $113k paid to Crowdstrike for "Maintenance" via the DNC

Multiple email threads from the DNC leak implicate "Imran" (but no Awan... nor is he CC'ed on any emails) just before this timeline opened up. Indicating that Awan had access to at least Pelosi's and DWS's hardware:

"On May 4, 2016, at 12:49 PM, Kroll, Amy wrote: Just spoke to Imran, call me whenever GB and I’ll update you, don’t delete anything yet."

"On Wed, May 4, 2016 at 3:45 PM, Kroll, Amy wrote: I do not have access to her ipad password, but Imran does. I’ll call Geoff now"

"Subject: Re: DWS MOVEMENTS - 5/12/2016 Pelosi is doing s closed door meeting. No staff or anyone allowed. Kaitlyn come to Rayburn room and get her iPad for Imran. Thanks."

Those are the most direct mentions of access/higher ups at the DNC working w/ Imran. Interesting that they don't just include him on the emails... no? If it's a security issue, then he clearly should not have had access to their hardware in the first place. Especially not if he is the only one on the chain that had their passwords!

So... with all of the circumstances above, you're going to tell me that Crowdstrike completed the investigation to "determine" that the DNC hacks were of a Russian origin. And never bothered to interface with, interview, or meet Imran Awan - the highest paid IT staffer on their payroll?

For putting so much faith into the Russian hacking narrative Crowdstrike was paid to weave, you clearly don't have much faith in their investigatory prowess if they didn't even have a discussion with Mr. Awan. He should have been one of the first people they met with.

This is amazing stuff! Good catch.
