washingtonpost ^ | September 16 | Shawn Boburg

Posted on 09/20/2017 12:03:30 AM PDT by Rabin

September, 23, 24, & 25, 2016, Twenty-five potentially corrupted leaders of Congress, linked closely to the Awan, family considered their options. Behind closed doors, the briefing and consideration into, closely held Awan Group data control; working their Capitol Hill covert opperation, for over ten years.

In and under the nose of…. All.

//Snipp//

U.S.A. Inspector General’s Office tracked Awan Group (Aw G). They were alarmed by what they saw. The AwG had full and free access to 25 congressional servers. Encryption and interface networks. Routing “Pay to Play” as well as extracting, manipulating, selling, and mastering blackmail options on participant Democrat Reps, as well as virtually all with whom they connected. For some who listened to the findings, Years of — violations of House — protocol. Felonies for most but maybe not all DoJ, (FBI), NSA core. Bad actors.

With all the "Routing, extracting, manipulating, selling, and mastering blackmail options" going on I would have thought ESPIONAGE would be No 1 priority.

More MSM cover up going on.

Washington Post...that would be Bezos

And his company company Amazon that got a cool $600Mill from the CIA for data base services.

Amazon, under the Post’s new owner, Jeff Bezos, recently secured a $600 million contract from the CIA. That’s at least twice what Bezos paid for the Post this year. Bezos recently disclosed that the company’s Web-services business is building a “private cloud” for the CIA to use for its data needs.

It looks like this scandal will make the Teapot Dome Scandal look like peanuts. If only it had turned out that Zer0 was not a native born citizen, the corruption of the Obama Regime would never have happened. We would not be fighting to repeal Obamacare. Christmas for me will be the frog marching of the criminals to their greybar hotels.

*****

Bezos also sits on the civilian defense board (with Google’s Eric Schmidt). Looks like DoD will now be hosting national security data in Amazon’s AWS cloud service too.

Crony capitalism is just another name for fascism.

Just wait until the Amazon Post gets its hooks into all the government servers. Bezos bought the Post for very good reason.

My guess is that, in addition to the usual torrent of issues and decisions that Attorney General Sessions has to deal with, he his handful of allies in the DOJ are lining up credible and trustworthy special prosecutors to look into the long list of Democratic scandals. The goal will be to have a group of them ready to hit the ground running as soon as they are named. That requires that every special prosecutor file disclosure paperwork, get ethics clearance, unload their legal practice or put it on hold, and have deputies and key support staff lined up.

FACTS ON FILE

<><>The office of Andre Carson, the second Muslim in Congress, employed Imran Awan. As did the offices of Cong Jackie Speier and Cong Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

<><> A Democrat member of Congress expressed concern that, “they may have stolen data from us.”

<><> Congressman Joaquin Castro, who also sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), utilized the services of Jamal Moiz Awan. Speier and Carson’s offices utilized Imran Awan.

<><> The Pakistani IT clan had been employed by Democrats...including HPSCI minority members Speier, Carson and Joaquín Castro.

<><> Abid Awan was employed by Lois Frankel and Ted Lieu: members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Also on the committee is Cong Castro.

<><> Cong Robin Kelly employed Jamal Awan.

<><> Cong Ted Lieu also sits on the subcommittees on National Security and Information Technology of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

<><>Tammy Duckworth’s office had also employed Abid. Before Duckworth successfully played on the sympathy of voters to become Senator Tammy Duckworth, she had been on the Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces of the Armed Services Committee.

<><> Cong Gwen Graham, who had also been on the Armed Services Committee and on the Tactical Air and Land Forces subcommittee, employed Jamal Awan.

<><> Jamal was also employed by Cedric Richmond’s office. Richmond sits on the Committee on Homeland Security and on its Terrorism and Cybersecurity subcommittee. He is a ranking member of the latter subcommittee.

<><> Also employing Jamal was Cong Mark Takano of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

<><> Imran had worked for the office of John Sarbanes who sits on the House Energy and Commerce Committee that oversees, among others, the nuclear industry.

<><>Other members of the Committee employing the brothers included Yvette Clarke, who also sits on the Bipartisan Encryption Working Group, Diana DeGette, Dave Loebsack and Tony Cardenas.

==============================================

Imran Awan and his two brothers, Jamal and Abid, Imran's wife and a friend, Rao Abbas, are at the center of an investigation that deals with, among other things, allegations of illegal access. They have been barred from the House of Rep network as of February 17.

(NOTE: Rao Abbas was a no-show, cashing US govt checks but an eyewitness said he spent his work time at home.)

NOTE: Imran brother Abid has retained an attorney specializing in money-laundering litigation.

NOTE---Democrat Cong Andre Carson employed Imran and is buddy-buddy w/ the Pakis. Eye-witnesses report Carson and Imran---a tax-paid US govt employee---passed the time away playing video games in Carson's Congressional office. An astute FReeper posted that it is possible to transfer intel via a video game.

MEET THE MUSLIM CONGRESSMAN W/ A STRANGLEHOLD ON AMERICA'S SAFETY AND SECURITY----how did Andre Carson get on several major Congressional intel committees?

Rep Andre Carson (Dem-Indiana) is a member of (A) the House Intelligence and (B) House Homeland Security Committees. Carson is also ranking member of the (C) House intelligence subcommittee on Emerging Threats, which oversees the (D) Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The subcommittee oversight extends to the (E) National Counterterrorism Center and (F) information-sharing programs. (The first elected Muslim---Cong Keith Ellison---is co-chair of the DNC.)

Rep Andre Carson, an Indiana Democrat----is the second Muslim elected to Congress-----and the first Muslim on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Carson sits on several high level security committees: (A) the House Intelligence, and, (B) House Homeland Security Committees. Carson is also (C) ranking member of the House intelligence subcommittee on Emerging Threats, which oversees (D) the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The subcommittee oversight extends to (E) the National Counterterrorism Center and information-sharing programs.

==============================================

(hat tip niccolo) To get these important committee appointments, Andre Carson has to be bringing in serious money for Democrats-----monies required by the DNC.

These high-level committee appointments are "positions for sale." Every appointment has a dollar amount attached to it that Members desiring the positions are required to raise.

Taxpayers demand to know if Carson is channeling Islamicist cash directly into the DNC.

of his grandmother--she once held the seat he occupies.

Xavier Becerra and Sean McCluskie (Cong Becerra's onetime COS) need to 'fess up. Cong Becerra chaired the errant House Democrat Congressional Caucus. Both men are currently the top two California L/E officers. Xavier Becerra and Sean McCluskie could be subject to serious charges in a good world....

The conduct of then-Congressman Xavier Becerra, Democratic Caucus chair, is heinous in the extreme.

The sordid details of treachery and malfeasance in elected office will not inflame the citizenry as much as the discovery that our tax dollars were being used to finance these treacherous atrocities.

The money angle was further spotlighted when President Trump recently withheld 225 million dollars in foreign aid to Pakistan until that country rounds up its resident terrorist groups. NOTE: About half the members of Congress have signed on to a move to withhold foreign aid to Pakistan due to the terrorists lurking there.

==========================================

BACKSTORY---It appears that Imran ran a theft ring out of the Democratic Congressional Caucus then-chaired by Cong Xavier Becerra. Yet, amazingly Democrat Becerra never "noticed." As California's current AG he can continue his practice of "looking the other way" as crimes are being committed.

READ ON---The lucrative Paki scam described here involved just ONE Congressional office out of the dozens of House members the Paki clan worked for.

Xavier Becerra left a huge paper trail----if his office "wrote-off" tech purchases even once, Becerra (and other Democrats who did so) are subject to RICO laws.

B/c this is organized crime....no question.

======================

Here's details of the scam up-close:

Imran colluded w/ a viscerally stupid member of Congress to order equipment for her office; he then conspired to have the devices delivered to his home. Imran falsified official govt documents to get himself 150 tech devices from CDW, Government, Inc---the Hill's largest tech supplier.

A PROFILE IN DUMBNESS--Democrat NY Cong Yvette Clarke
unblinkingly agreed to all of this. She then approved a $120k "write-off" of the purchases thus making the money and thedevices just disappear.

<><>The tax-paid devices tied to NY Democrat Cong Yvette Clarke’s office included some 150 iPhones and iPads.

<><> Priced at $800 each, Democrat Cong Clarke's $120,000 write-off would buy 150 devices.

<><> Cong Clarke's office, according to payroll records, has only 16 employees. Taxpayers might ask why Cong Clarke needed so many electronics for her small staff?

Democrat Cong Clarke's office refused to tell a reporter which staffer signed the form, and why they did not fire the Paki IT at that time, or why they did not alert authorities (not reporting knowledge of a crime IS a crime).

Taxpayers should be aware that Cong Yvette Clarke’s chief routinely called a House help desk to inquire about the write-off process but did not ever convey the highly unusual scale of the dollar figure, the official said.

Being scrutinized is a falsified invoicing scheme. The equipment Democrat Yvette Clark ordered (then wrote-off) got shipped ..... not to the Congressional office...... but to Imran’s private residence.

Taxpayers should be aware that Democrat Yvette Clark (or high-level staffer with financial responsibility in her office) would have to sign a voucher for each such purchase.

Taxpayers may undoubtedly wonder how Democrat Yvette Clark wouldn’t have noticed (A) that tech equipment was being purchased, (B) in large quantities Democrat Clarke might not plausibly need, (C) but never actually materialized at Cong Clarke's office.

NOTO BENE: The $120,000 tech equipment covers only Cong Yvette Clarke’s. The Democrats that employed the Paki IT clan have yet to be audited for similar patters. The tax dollars stolen could skyrocket.

==================================

NOTE: anybody can file a RICO----plenty of how-to's on the net.

==================================================

ACTION NOW-—CONTACT CONGRESS:

Capitol Hill Switchboard 1-866-220-0044

Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414

TALKING POINTS: Immediately launch full-scale audits of the House office budgets of ex-Cong Xavier Becerra, Debbie Wassermann Schultz, and all Democrat House members that employed the Awan clan.

You’re dreaming if you think sessions can find “a handful of trusted allies” in the DOJ swamp

No question in my mind that the sordid details of the House security breach will not inflame the citizenry as much as the discovery that their duly elected Democrat Representatives used tax dollars to finance the atrocities perpetrated by some very shady foreign characters that infiltrated Congress and the DNC.

==============================================

Xavier Becerra is a prime example. His actions indicate his loyalty is most definitely NOT to his constituents.

<><> Becerra in on-record; he paid the Paki's 20-30,000 extra tax dollars, over and above paying their gargantuan salaries w/ our tax dollars.

<><> Becerra's profligate use of tax dollars implicates him in the treachery.

<><>Becerra interfered w/ the Capitol Police investigation of the security breach.

<><> Becerra deliberately gave a false image of the treacherous “secret server” to the Capitol Police.

<><> Becerra was mysteriously not arrested.

Becerra's fellow Democrats rewarded him handsomely for his aiding and abetting a security breach. Becerra was appointed Attorney General of California.

REALITY CHECK---Imran's secret server was connected to the House Democratic Caucus, chaired by then-Rep. Xavier Becerra.

The executive director of the Democratic Caucus, Sean McCluskie, was Democrat Becerra’s chief of staff. McCluskie is now chief deputy AG of California alongside appointed AG, Xavier Becerra. McCluskie has gone incommunicado---he failed to return The Daily Caller's repeated requests for comment on this monumental story.

BACKSTORY---On Jan. 24, 2017, Democrat Becerra vacated his congressional seat to accept the appointment as California’s attorney general. At that time, "he wanted to wipe his server, and was advised it was under investigation. L/E asked Becerra for his assistance. L/E anted an image of the server.

But Democrat Becerra apparently colluded and conspired w/ other actors, and deliberately turned over a fake image of the evidentiary server.”

Capitol Police considered Becerra's complicity, via the faked image, a sign that the Awans knew exactly what they were doing and were going to great lengths to try to cover it up.

At that point, the House Sergeant-at-Arms banned them from the Congressional network.

Becerra went on to be the top L/E officer for California.

More on Becerra.

=================================================

For dozens of Democrat House members to blithely say their intel data was "not compromised" is grossly inaccurate. The Awan's had access to all of the Democrats' sensitive intel.....data that impacted the safety and security of Americans.......including all emails.

"Imran Awan is the walking example of an insider threat, a criminal actor who had access to everything,” a senior official said.

<><> Democrat Becerra was informed his server was the subject of a L/E investigation and when asked for his assistance, Becerra handed over a false image.

<><> Authorities consider the false image Democrat Becerra handed them to be Becerra's calculated interference in a criminal investigation, a senior official said.

<><> As Congressman, Becerra is on-record as making more payments of tax dollars to the Awan family than any other House member, giving them thousands of tax dollars over and above the amount his House budget allotted for that purpose.

<><> Taxpayers demand answers---why did Cong Becerra overpay the Paki spy ring?

=======================================

Americans demand the US DOJ remove appointed AG Xavier Becerra and his Chief Deputy AG Sean McCluskie from office, ASAP.
