THE DEMOCRATS’ IT SCANDAL JUST GOT EVEN MORE BIZARRE

According to Perry, more than 5,700 logins by the five Awan associates were discovered on a single server within the House and 5,400 of those logins appeared unauthorized. That server, Perry said, belonged to then-Democratic Rep. Xavier Becerra, who is now attorney general in California.

Perry said a criminal investigation by Capitol Police begun after the House Office of Inspector General reported its findings into Awan and his associates last year.

The congressman said Capitol Police determined that an image they asked Imran to provide was falsified, believing it to be a “deliberate attempt to conceal the activities that they knew were against House policy and the law.”

Perry also discussed how Capitol Police recovered a bag with a laptop featuring Wasserman Shultz’s initials from a phone booth after midnight in the Rayburn building about two months after House investigators barred Awan and his coterie from access to House computer networks.

The indictment itself addresses separate allegations that Awan and his wife engaged in a conspiracy to obtain home equity lines of credit from the Congressional Federal Credit Union by giving false information about two properties – and then sending the proceeds to individuals in Pakistan.

The case has put renewed scrutiny on Wasserman Schultz for keeping Awan on the payroll for months, even after a criminal investigation was revealed and he was barred from the House IT network.

In a recent interview published in the Sun Sentinel, Wasserman Schultz blamed the “right-wing media circus fringe” for the attention on Awan. The former head of the Democratic National Committee has suggested it's all part of an effort to distract from the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign and possible ties to President Trump's team.

After Awan was arrested at Dulles airport in Virginia trying to board a plane to Pakistan, attorney Christopher Gowen told Fox News that federal authorities have no evidence of misconduct by Awan relating to his IT duties.

Fox News’ James Rosen and Alex Pappas contributed to this report.

This ‘spy ring’ was set up under a Hastard speakership back in 2004. Lord only knows the details that have gone unmasked in the past dozen plus years. Pewlosie, Boehner and lying Ryan all allowed this to take place. Somebody needs to find out who all were supplied ‘blackberries’ from this ring.

Gee, maybe Imran Awan is a flight risk! Maybe you better ignore all those corrupt judges and put him in jail!

Who would trust anyone from the swamp to do an honest investigation. They won’t support Trump and they take care of the establishment elite whether Republican or DemonRat.

Oh, it’s now a hearing on capitol hill and not an indictment from a grand jury? That of course means it will be swept right under the rug and sanitized to protect the politicians.

Congrats DWS, looks like they’re gonna’ let you skate.

“Caught giving cops a fake server, Xavier Becerra clams up”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3585970/posts

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Also

According to the Daily Caller News Foundation:

“On Jan. 24, 2017, Becerra vacated his congressional seat to become California’s attorney general. “He wanted to wipe his server, and we [a ‘senior official’] brought to his attention it was under investigation. The light-off was we asked for an image of the server, and they deliberately turned over a fake server,” the senior official said.”

He deliberately handed over a fake server.

“Substantial security threat.”

I’d be looking at at least 30 years hard time, if not life without parole.

These criminals were part of Hillary’s team.
Debbie Wasserman was up Clintons ass and these slugs worked for them
Nothing will happen here,
The federal gub mint has been protecting the Clintons for decades.
Probably because of Bill allowing the CIA to import drugs to Medina when he was governor.

If conservatives (notice I didn’t say Republicans) play their cards right they will be able to take out a large amount of Leftist Democrat politicians in time for the elections running on the platform of espionage and treason. Not sure they would have to prove it, just run on it al la Alinsky.
