Congress IT Probe Suspects Had Massive Debts, Years Of Suspicious Activity

But finally there’s Andre Carson.....the second Muslim in Congress and the first Muslim on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and, more critically, is the ranking member on its Emerging Threats Subcommittee. He is also a member of the Department of Defense Intelligence and Overhead Architecture Subcommittee.

The Emerging Threats Subcommittee, of which Carson is a ranking member, is responsible for much of counterterrorism oversight. It is the worst possible place for a man with Carson’s credentials.

Carson had inherited his grandmother’s seat and exploited it to promote a radical Islamist agenda. He has interfaced with a laundry list of Islamist groups from CAIR to ISNA to ICNA to MPAC. Islamists have funded Carson’s career to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars.

The Center for Security Policy has put together a dossier of Carson’s connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is the parent organization of many key Islamic terror groups posing a threat to our national security including Al Qaeda and Hamas.

Andre Carson shared the stage at a CAIR banquet with Sirraj Wahaj: an unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade Center bombing who had once declared,” You don’t get involved in politics because it’s the American thing to do. You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.” CAIR itself had been named an unindicted co-conspirator in terror finance.

Carson had praised Tariq Ramadan who had been barred from this country for funding Islamic terrorists. And the Muslim politician was a co-sponsor of the Free Syria Act which attempted to aid Islamist Jihadists in Syria linked to the Muslim Brotherhood such as the Free Syrian Army.

The presence of Andre Carson on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Emerging Threats Subcommittee has always been extremely controversial.

But this latest breach involving Democrats on this committee and on other key national security committees raises serious questions about the scale and magnitude of the real problem caused by a compromised congress.

While Carson and other HPSCI Democrats had been demanding security clearance for their staffers, three Pakistani Muslims working for them appear to have compromised security to an unknown degree. (hat tip Daniel Greenfield)

Wouldn't surprise me if there was and their exorbitant salaries were really a personal payoff at taxpayer expense.

"Abid has a prior criminal record and a bankruptcy."

He could be the greatest IT guy in the world, but certain industries, ( Banking, Investments and my guess Aerospace / Defense, although if he is a Green-Card guy, they never would have hired him period ) the bankruptcy alone will get you fired as a temp or never hired at all, they can find the bankruptcy by doing a credit check, the smart Corps did that 20 and 30 years ago as a way weeding out and getting prime candidates.

But, but....Democrats are so “tolerant and compassionate”.

Hiring a guy that had bankruptcies made them feel so good about themselves.

BACKSTORY---SOURCE: Risk Management
Volume/issue Vol. 56, No. 10
Publication date December 2009
TITLE: Security Breach on Capitol Hill / By Wade, Jared

Article excerpt: In October 2009, a data breach on Capitol Hill that revealed the names of at least eight lawmakers being investigated for ethics violations called into question the cybersecurity policies that exist for Congress and led House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to pledge an "immediate and comprehensive assessment" of how the entire legislative body handles sensitive data.

Generally, the House ethics committee does not reveal the names of representatives involved in preliminary investigations in order to protect them from unfairly being associated with impropriety.

But representatives Maxine Waters (D-CA), Laura Richardson (D-CA) and up to six others were identified as targets of committee probes after a junior staffer improperly uploaded an internal document to a peer-to-peer file-sharing network, making it accessible to virtually anyone.

Experts believe the file was downloaded by users in Washington, New York and even as far away as London, and the leak became public after the Washington Post published the news.

The staffer responsible was fired soon thereafter, but that provided little solace for lawmakers whose reputations can be clouded by even the specter of investigation. …

I thought it was Pelosi’s husband that was getting the huge government contracts. Is it both of them?

Build more prisons.

[Liz]

Pelosi has been publicly accused of using inside info on bills to personally profit.

Her husband no doubt is the facilitator of these lucrative deals.

[sheana]

Those names don’t sound Russian to me. lol
I thought it was all....the Russians!

Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason.

"Islamophobia"? There's obviously not nearly enough of it in this country and certainly not in the feral gubmint!

These Democrats need to be stripped of their security clearances and prosecuted for compromising national security.

[Pride in the USA]

Unreal.

[GOPJ]

Chiefs of staff for dozens of Democratic lawmakers who employed the four were informed last week that a criminal probe was underway into their use of congressional information technology systems, including the existence of an external server to which House data was being funneled, and into the theft of and over-billing for computer equipment.

Well, we've got an FBI and soon we'll have an honest person running the DOJ... so with any luck this kind of democrat crap will stop.

Time to make a deal with these guy. Your life will be spared in exchange for turning on your Demoncrat bosses.

“Unscrupulous people with lots of debt are prime targets for blackmail.”

Blackmail? They were likely salaried employees of FSB, ISI or PRC Intelligence. Or all three. Or they auctioned the info off to the likes of ISIL, Iran or Nork to feed their offshore accounts.

The big question is where are all these scoundrels and their families right now? And their money.?

foreign nationals who worked within the IT department for members of the House Permanent Intelligence Committee

Hiring foreign nationals doing IT for this committee is beyond stupid. It is criminal.

Wonder why Google went berserk over the immigration pause.. i am just so tired of hearing democratson the news saying, ok we were wrong it wasn’t the Russians.

Ya don’t suppose the DNC computers had porn or child porn on them do ya? Naw! Couldn’t be ! /s

DNC got too comfortable being 'government' and never considered the notion they would ever have to account for their devious, deceptive and most likely criminal works. But, obviously they sure were not willing to give FBI access to their inner circles. This child porn stuff is as bad as a human being can go. I literally get nauseated and cannot spend much time on the subject. What does give me comfort is that our Heavenly Father keeps the only record that counts, and there will be a day of accounting.
