30 House Democrats Who Hired the Awan Brothers for IT Services (includes wacky Rep Fredrica Wilson)
gatewaypundit ^ | 2017 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 10/24/2017 4:45:13 PM PDT by dennisw

Three Pakistani brothers who managed the IT affairs for several Democratic government officials were relieved of their duties in February on suspicion that they accessed specific computer networks without permission, also known as hacking.

Imran Awan, who started working for Wasserman Schultz in 2005, received $164,600 in 2016, with close to $20,000 of that coming from Wasserman Schultz.

His brother Jamal, who started working as a staffer in 2014, was paid $157,350.12 in 2016. Abid, who started working in 2005, was paid $160,943 in 2016.

Hina Alvi, who was employed as a staffer from February 2007, was paid 168,300 in 2016. Rao Abbas was paid $85,049 in 2016.

Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan were barred from computer networks at the House of Representatives in February.

Most of the House Members fired the Awans subsequently. Only Debbie Wasserman Schultz kept Imran Awan on the pay roll up to the day he got arrest for Bank Fraud after trying to flee the country.

Here is the complete list of 30 Democrats who hired the Awan brothers for IT services:

Is. Political correctness that corrupting of the intellect that 30 congress people would voluntarily subject themselves to the dangers of having foreign nationals having access to every detail of their personal and government business?

If Wilson want to talk so much she needs to talk about her being a supervisor/employer of the Awans and what national security was compromised because of that.
She could actually be responsible in some way for Niger.

go to any daily caller story about the awans and at the end of the article they will list the bad actors and list the RATS who hired them.
http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/26/awan-funneling-massive-data-off-congressional-server-dems-claim-its-childs-homework/

this GatewayPundit article does not have the complete list. If I’ve counted right:
There are 43 house active members who hired the awans.
There are 63 total current and former house members who hired the awans

PROFILES IN DEMOCRAT DUMBNESS jarringly stupid security breach responses

I would not be surprised to read that Daily Caller’s ace reporter, Luke Roziak, has laughed himself to death. Luke had the unenviable job to seek out cowering Democrats, none of whom seemed eager to respond to Luke’s probing questions about the massive security breach conducted by Democrats’ IT staffers.

Democrats have claimed that they deplore computer hacking and view cyber-attacks as a “dangerous new frontier” that tends to upset their leisurely, do nothing, wealth-producing lives as elected members on Capitol Hill.

<><>For instance, take Cong Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She introduced an amendment aimed at the Trump administration-—Jared Kushner, in particular. Schultz’s amendment blocks “security clearance for any individual in a position in the Executive Office of the President, who is under a criminal investigation by a federal law enforcement agency for aiding a foreign government.” Yet Wasserman Schultz refused to fire her IT tech, Imran Awan, even after House law enforcement banned him from the House computer network. To be fair, Schultz did fire him AFTER he was arrested on bank fraud as he tried to abscond to Pakistan.

<><> Self-described “Master Legislator” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said she wasn’t familiar with the security breach issue “I haven’t followed that very closely,” she said. She shrugged at Wasserman Schultz’s continued employment of Imran Awan, saying “there are plenty of people who are under investigation who still have their jobs.”

<><> California Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu got tough-—he wrote a letter accusing Pres Trump of “jeopardizing national security” by not taking cyber protections seriously. Lieu emphasized that he himself had majored in computer science in college. Yet, Lieu, the computer whiz-kid, gave fraudster Imran’s brother Abid Awan computer access when the latter had a criminal record, a recent bankruptcy, a public lawsuit involving allegations of fraud in a car dealership.

Abid was sucking up our tax dollars as a putative govt employee at the same time Abid was on the govt payroll while running outside businesses. Abid worked IT for House Democrats amid widespread rumors that Abid’s numerous relatives on the House payroll were running a number of fraudulent schemes. The vacant Lieu seemed not to know (or care) that Abid’s business received $100,000 from an Iraqi politician who is a fugitive from the US Department of Justice.

“Tolerant and compassionate” Lieu did not fire Abid until March 10, more than a month after Cong Lieu learned of the Capitol Police investigation and after media reports that the Pakistani’s used high-tech devices to wiretap and extort their father’s widow.

Lieu spokesman, Jack Dannibale, did not respond to The Daily Caller’s request for comment — both after the congressman was informed of the criminal probe and after Lieu’s tough letter to Pres Trump. The Daily Caller reporter asked (a) what Lieu has done to determine if any of his congressional emails or files had been compromised, and,(b) what was done to prevent a recurrence?

<><> Missouri Democrat Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver said “Who? I don’t even know him,” adding that his chief of staff put Abbas on the payroll apparently without Cleaver’s knowledge or consent.

Incidentally, Cleaver has a unique ability——he can switch his intelligence level on and off whenever he feels like it.

In response to the security breach, Cleaver said, “I hear two sides of the story, some people say it’s because he’s Muslim that he’s being railroaded, other people say he made some bad decisions. I don’t know enough about it,” Cleaver told The Daily Caller. Assuming he was in his non-intelligence phase, Cleaver that it didn’t occur to him that crimes involving his IT guy could pose a risk to the security of his data.

“Emails? This is the first I’ve heard about that … You mean the one from the election?” Cleaver said. “This is the first I’ve heard of that. Cleaver insisted the reporter talk to him tomorrow “because I don’t know enough about it to be intelligent.” Nice to know Cleaver can turn his “intelligence” on and off at will, isn’t it?

<><> Pontificating DNC spokeswoman Adrienne Watson, still smarting over Hillary’s loss, changed the subject to the Russian meme. She asserted “Russians attacked the DNC in an effort to disrupt our election,” and President Donald Trump “has shown zero interest in protecting our country from future attacks.”

<><>The deputy chairman of the DNC, practicing Muslim Rep. Keith Ellison got up off his prayer rug and stepped up to the plate. He told the Daily Caller “I’m at a massive disadvantage because I don’t really know the issue at all.” But either the Minnesota Democrat or his staff did not seem particularly interested to find out that the Daily Caller had emailed both Brett Morrow, a spokesman for Ellison’s congressional office, and Eric Walker, a DNC spokesman, weeks prior with information and questions. Those emails went unreturned, and apparently did not result in a briefing on the Capitol Police investigation.

<><>NY House Democrat Cong Yvette Clarke’s office Approved $120k Write-off OF TECH Equipment Linked To Awan Brothers. Missing govt-issue equipment tied to NY Cong Yvette Clarke’s office supposedly included many iPhones and iPads, an official told The Daily Caller reporter. At $800 each, Cong Clarke’s $120,000 write-off would pay for 150 electronic items. Yet, Cong Clarke’s office, according to payroll records, has only 16 employees......why did Clarke need so many electronics for that small staff?

The govt-issue equipment would have been billed under Clarke’s former chief of staff, there 2010 to February 11, 2016 (when another person took over). Cong Clarke’s office refused to tell The Daily Caller which person signed the form, and why they did not fire Abid at that time, or why they did not alert authorities (not reporting knowledge of a crime IS a crime).

The Daily Caller reported 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.

According to this story in the Daily Caller, her chief of staff casually signed off on what appears to be a theft ring operating inside the Democrat Congressional Caucus. The facts thus far suggest the Awan gang was running the oldest of scams......selling computer gear out the back door after first claiming it was stolen.

However, the Democrat member (or high-level staffer with financial responsibility in the member’s office) would still have to sign a voucher for each such purchase.

This raises questions regarding how Democrat Yvette Clarke wouldn’t have noticed (A) that tech equipment was being purchased, (B) in quantities a member’s office might not plausibly need, (C) but never actually materialized at the member’s office b/c it had been delivered to Imran’s residence.

NOTE: The missing $120,000 covers only Cong Yvette Clarke’s office. Democrats employing the Pakis have not been audited for similar patterns.......as yet.

(Hat tip Luke Roziak, Daily Caller)

MEET THE MUSLIM CONGRESSMAN W/ A STRANGLEHOLD ON AMERICA'S SAFETY AND SECURITY

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.

Carson employed Imran Awan....eyewitnesses say the two played video games in Carson's office. An astute FReepers observed that it is possible to send intel thru a video game.

Carson was signatory to a letter to the DNC demanding his staff be given access to high level topsecret US intel.

Rep Andre Carson

(hat tip niccolo) To get these important Congressional committee appointments, Rep 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”-——a Congressional version of pay-to-play.

Every committee 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.

EXCLUSIVE: Obama Appointed Islamic Official To Approve Russian Uranium Sale and and Gulftainer Port Deal
BigLeaguepolitics.com ^ | 10/25/17 | Mary Fanning and Alan Jones / FR Posted by blueyon

The Obama administration placed Aimen Nabi Mir, former two-time president of the youth wing of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), into the top advisory position to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), a national security post at the Treasury Department.

Aimen Mir was the CFIUS Staff Chairperson from 2009 until 2014. During that time, Aimen Mir played a key role in the CFIUS panel’s decision to approve the sale of Uranium One to Russia’s Rosatom. Mir also played a key role in the Treasury Department’s refusal to investigate the UAE’s Gulftainer 35-year cargo container terminal lease at Port Canaveral, a critical military infrastructure facility for U.S. naval and space operations. Both decisions severely damaged United States national security.

Aimen Mir helped set the table for Vladimir Putin to seize control of over 20 percent of U.S. uranium and was part of the decision that awarded control of Port Canaveral’s cargo container terminal to Saddam Hussein’s rogue nuclear weapons scientist and designated Iraq War enemy combatant, Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar. Dr. Jafar’s brother and business partner, Gulftainer co-owner Hamid Jafar, was under investigation by the Treasury Department and four congressional committees for his ‘Oil For Superweapons” scheme in concert with Saddam Hussein.

For starters, Aimen Mir’s ISNA connections are troubling. ISNA is one of the largest Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the U.S. and was named by the Department of Justice as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation HAMAS terror funding trial.
