Imran Awan, the now-indicted IT aide to the DNC and Wasserman Schultz, apparently bragged that he had paid off police in Pakistan.
As reported by Luke Rosiak for The Daily Caller:
A Democratic aide also said Imran Awan personally bragged to him that he could have people tortured in Pakistan. Awan’s lawyer acknowledged that he was sending money to a member of the Faisalabad police department, but said there was a good explanation.
The relatives said Awan and his brothers were also sending IT equipment, such as iPhones, to the country during the same period in which fraudulent purchase orders for that equipment were allegedly placed in the House, and in which congressional equipment apparently went missing.

Awan’s stepmother, Samina Gilani, said the brothers were paying police officer Azhar Awan and that he is their cousin.
Facebook confirms that Azhar works for the police and is Facebook “friends” with the former congressional aides, who worked for 45 Democratic House members until the aides were banned Feb. 2, following the discovery of 5,400 unauthorized logins to congressional servers and the funneling of “massive” amounts of data off the congressional network.

A fellow Democratic House IT aide, speaking on condition of anonymity because of concern for his career, recounted a conversation between Awan and three colleagues in a House cafeteria several years ago in which Awan seemed to relish bragging about his ability to have people harassed in Pakistan.

“Imran Awan threatened that he has power to kidnap my family members back in Pakistan,” she wrote. “Imran Awan did admit to me that my phone is taped (sic) and there are devices installed in the house to listen my all conversations … Worth mentioning here that … Imran Awan introduces himself someone from U.S. Congress or someone from federal agencies … In Pakistan [Imran] manages to have police mobile based on his position in U.S. Congress or federal agencies to escort him during his visit to Pakistan.”
