Video Review: A Discussion on the Wasserman Schultz/Awan Brothers IT Scandal with Key
Judicial Watch ^ | Oct 11, 2017 | Judicial Watch

Posted on 10/11/2017 5:48:41 PM PDT by bitt

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch yesterday participated in a special highly-revealing discussion between House representatives and experts regarding the Wasserman Schultz/Awan Brothers/IT scandal.

As you may already know, a Democratic IT staffer named Imran Awan was arrested this past July on charges of bank fraud. He was employed with Debbie Wasserman Shultz and other congressional members. He is also a suspect in a cybersecurity investigation, having been banned from congressional networks in February.

In addition, his relatives, also government IT employees, are currently being investigated for alleged involvement in defrauding the federal government as well as compromising sensitive information from congressional servers.

The event featured: Congressmen Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Jim Jordan (OH-04), Scott Perry (PA-04), and Ron Desantis (FL-06). The panelists included: Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, and Reporter with the Daily Caller News Foundation Luke Rosiak.

Below are five short, broadcast quality videos – which you are free to use for soundbites or background information.

What a surprise. The press will pay about as much attention to this as they did the Harvey Weinstein story and for the same reason: to cover for the Democrat party.

Congressmen Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Jim Jordan (OH-04), Scott Perry (PA-04), and Ron Desantis (FL-06) are involved. Almost assuredly Ryan and his cabal are not.

Public demands get louder for the testimony of Debbie Wasserman Schultz under oath before Congress. According to senior congressional sources Wasserman Schultz's refusal to answer questions could "merit a request for her resignation". Taxpayers say that's not nearly enough for all the damage she's done.

CONGRESS, PRESIDENT TRUMP, AG SESSIONS AND THE FBI NEED TO DETERMINE:

<><> She was then in power----heading the DNC...we demand to know the extent of DNC assistance to (A) the three House members of the House intelligence panel, and, (B) the five House members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs who were among the dozens of elected members the suspects IT'ed for on a shared basis.

<><>Were govt intel computers ever transported off-premises?

<><>Did the FBI and/or Secret Service accompany and supervise the transport of the server?

<><> Did the three brothers have an active email account?

<><> Was there continuity of intel computer activity or did the intel computers ever go off-line?

<><> Who received govt intel?

<><>Did the three brothers get officially qualified by the DNC to handle national-security-level data?

<><> Did the three brothers ever “upgrade, manage, and secure” the DNC server.

<><> What - specifically - did they do?

<><> Did the DNC vet the three brothers security clearance to handle this type of intel?

<><> What were the DNC firewall protocols in place at the time?

<><>Who, by name, had access to intel computers, and the administrative authorization to do so?

<><>When was that authorization given?

<><>Did the three brothers ever remove all data from the intel computers?

<><> Was malware or antivirus also on the server?

<><> Was the inherent firewall, virus protection, or operating system “upgraded, managed, and secured” by the brothers?

<><> Did the DNC report any incidents such as DOS attack, hacking, etc. How were they resolved?

<><> Did the three brothers maintain the DNC intel computer?

<><> Does the DNC know if the House Permanent Intelligence Committee computers in functioning condition at this time?

<><> Does the DNC have the work schedule of the brothers just prior to being outed for security breaches?

<><> Were normal and regular backup procedures executed on the server?

<><> Where are the back-ups kept?

<><> If no backups were taken, does the DNC have a disaster recovery location? Where is that?

<><> Did the DNC have a backup plan if the House Permanent Intelligence Committee plan intel equipment failed or was found to have been compromised?

<><> Does the DNC list other foreign nationals (from countries President Obama identified as terrorist countries) employed on Capitol Hill?

<><> The DNC must list foreign nationals by name and country who currently have access to US intel and are using govt computers.

REASONS WHY DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ MUST BE
EJECTED FROM CONGRESS AND PLACED UNDER HOUSE ARREST.

ITEM--- Wasserman Schultz drags out the tired, smelly "Islamaphobia" excuse to explain her actions, after every other Dumbocrat----now scared s***-less----fired the shady Pakis.

ITEM---D/W/S stupidly blocked police from examining a hidden laptop tied to Imran-----braindead D/W/S failed to comprehend that she undercut her own explanation. If Wasserman Schultz really wanted the truth (other than Islamaphobia), she would not prevented L/E from obtaining evidence that would help prove her point.

ITEM----Wasserman Schultz was reckless to assume anti-Muslim bias was the only plausible explanation. She would have denied Awan access to her computers after House authorities banned Imran from the House network in early February.

ITEM--- Wasserman Scultz not only kept Awan on staff after the ban, but she employed no other IT person to administer her tech needs, according to payroll records........meaning the Paki spy cabal maintained access to Congressional secrets AFTER the ban.

ITEM---D/W/S said Imran Awan was working in an “advisory” role “providing her advice on technology issues” AFTER the ban.....still sucking up tax dollars.

ITEM---Apparently, Wasserman Schultz planned to keep sending tax dollars to Awan in Pakistan for six months, until his scheduled return. He remained on D/W/S's payroll----sucking up tax dollars----- until his arrest.

NOTE The shock value here is maximized when you factor in that Imran is a native Pakistani "claiming" to be a naturalized American citizen. Or did Imran falsify his citizenship papers?

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

Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert, a former judge, was shocked to learn that Awan would do House IT work months at a time while in Pakistan. “I did not realize that we paid someone the maximum that any House employee could get paid........ and for months at a time, he was handling information technology for the House of Representatives from Pakistan......... This is just mind boggling. I had no idea anybody would even think about trying to do something like that,” Gohmert said.

KEEP IN MIND About half of House Republicans have signed a letter urging the US cut off all aid to Pakistan. They consider it a terrorist-sponsoring nation.

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

TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW WHY DEMOCRATS ALLOWED A US GOVT EMPLOYEE CASHING US GOVT CHECKS TO LEAVE THEIR EMPLOY MONTHS AT A TIME Imran is a US govt employee. He cashes US govt checks. He's handling Congressional data----probably sensitive top secret data---in an active terrorist country for months at a time. Yet Democrats said nothing.

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

It appears that Imran has yet to be charged according to the crimes committed:

<><>Fraud And Bribery | USAM | … www.justice.gov › … › U.S. Attorneys' Manual › Title 9: Criminal

This chapter contains Department policy on the investigation and prosecution of Federal program fraud and bribery through the use of 18 U.S.C. § 666. Congress enacted 18 U.S.C. § 666 to protect the integrity of the vast sums of money distributed through Federal programs.

The purpose of this statute is protect the integrity of the vast sums of money distributed through federal programs.

<><>Honest services fraud

Honest services fraud is a crime defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1346 (the federal mail and wire fraud statute), added by the United States Congress in 1988,[1] which states: "For the purposes of this chapter, the term scheme or artifice to defraud includes a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services."[2]

The statute has been applied by federal prosecutors in cases of public corruption as well as in cases in which private individuals breached a fiduciary duty to another.

<><>The Travel Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1952, is a Federal criminal statute which forbids the use of the U.S. mail, or interstate or foreign travel, for the purpose of engaging in certain specified criminal acts. It was first passed by United States Congress in 1961 and has been amended six times since then.[1] Mostly interpreted to mean a crime that extends beyond national borders.

Thank you for posting this update.

With all the leftwing corruption (some of it by people pretending to be Republicans/conservatives), it’s hard to know which part of the swamp is the highest priority. Surely this is in the top 10. And it’s probably intertwined with many other high priority cases. I’m sure they all lead back to 0vomit/Klintoons/Soros.
