Here GMan, I'll help you out. Here's a Fox News link for the exact same story:

See? You don't have to get your news directly from Russian propaganda sources, there are plenty of news outlets right here in the good 'ol US of A that will cater to your tastes.

Now do you have any thoughts on this story or are you just doing a drive-by? The jist of the article is that he is now being charged with four felony counts instead of just the one felony count of bank fraud. The charges are as follows: making false statements on a loan or credit application; engaging in unlawful monetary transactions and conspiracy to commit bank fraud; false statements on a loan or credit application and unlawful monetary transactions.

All of these charges are related to the fact that he took out a home equity loan on a house that he owned that was not his primary residence [[it was a rental property) but he lied on the application and said it was his primary residence. Crime of the century, for sure, and yes by all means lock him up for his crimes.

The part I'm not quite getting is how a former House IT aide committing a financial crime that had absolutely nothing to do with his former job as a House IT aide has any relevance to anything.

From the Fox News article:

Attorney Christopher Gowen told Fox News that federal authorities have no evidence of misconduct by Awan relating to his IT duties.
