Becerra Tried To Block Server Admin Over Red Flags, But Logins Continued, With Muted Reaction
Daily Caller ^ | 12/11/2017 | Luke Rosiak

Posted on 12/11/2017 12:36:38 PM PST by mojito

Xavier Becerra, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, barely reacted when he learned the caucus server had been infiltrated in 2016, although he loudly decried the hack of the Democratic National Committee that happened around that same time....

The then-congressman, who is now California’s AG, refused to articulate...details of the cyber breach at a press conference Wednesday, and would not say whether he’s seeking criminal charges against longtime IT aide Imran Awan and his family.

....His reaction is odd given Democrats’ vocal abhorrence of the breach of the DNC resulting in the publication of its emails by Wikileaks....Early signs of that breach were treated casually by the DNC when first detected: A tech manager said he was too busy with other matters to chase down leads, the FBI’s calls weren’t returned, the DNC delayed a response to focus on the primaries, and Donna Brazile said when DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz finally relayed the news of the breach to officers weeks later, her tone was “casual.”

But even after the Wikileaks publication of DNC emails, Becerra never publicly acknowledged nor demanded consequences for the cyber breach on the server of a group similar in nature to the DNC.

Eighteen months later, no one has been charged or disciplined for the breach, which is perhaps not surprising since the victims don’t appear to be asking for it.

The Awan family was logging in to Becerra’s Caucus server with 17 different accounts belonging to offices whose data should have had no connection to the caucus, according to the House investigative report. The patterns were consistent with data being funneled onto Becerra’s server from other members of Congress, but members said Becerra never alerted them of any aberrations.

Oh my, is there an Awan connection to the DNC server leak/hack?

Sure is starting to look like it.

The Awan clan were pakistani/MB spies who infiltrated all democrat emails and other computer traffic from the offices of the 24 democrat House Members who hired them. The DNC too. The fact that no one has yet been arrested baffles the mind. And I’m not talking about the Awan’s...I’m talking about the traitors in Congress who gave them access.

This Awan case seems to have dropped off the radar, or at least to a very back burner. Bacerra needs a good beatdown. As the current AG of CA, he is one of the leaders of the Anti-Trump lawsuites & promoters of Sanctuary Cities / States.

Corrupt-o-crat Becerra was a Congressman with secret servers and dodgy IT employees stealing all his computers and data. He illegally gave a false image of the secret server to the cops. But they can't arrest him because now he's the Attorney General of California.

Who knows what criminality and ineptitude Becerra is raining down on that poor state?

On Jan. 24, 2017, Becerra vacated his congressional seat to become California’s attorney general and hoped to clear his data. “We asked for an image of the server, and [the Awans] deliberately turned over a fake server,” the senior official said.

The "Senior Official" is a senior republican official. How would he know ?

The DCNF reported Becerra's role a little differently earlier. It was he not Awan that presented a bogus server image.(though it's a good bet Awan created it and Becerra probably didn't really know it)

As head of the House Democratic Caucus, Becerra gave authorities an elaborate falsified image of Awan’s secret server designed to hide the massive violations.
Authorities considered the false image they received to be interference in a criminal investigation.

(HAT TIP LUKE ROSIAK, REPORTING FOR THE DCNF)

EXCERPT--The Awan crew was logging on to then-Cong Becerra’s Democratic Caucus server with 17 different accounts belonging to Congressional offices whose data should have had no connection to Becerra's Caucus, according to the House investigative report.

The patterns were consistent with data being funneled onto Becerra’s server from other members of Congress.

Significantly, members said Becerra never alerted them of any aberrations.

(NOTE: only Imran's wife, Hina Alvi, was authorized to use Becerra's server. She left an evidentiary paper trail---showing she signed in about 300 times. Thus we see the Awans conducting themselves like avid, cohesive, undercover collectors of US intel.)

When TheDCNF broke the story about Becerra's House Democratic Caucus server in September, neither a Becerra representative nor his then-COS McCluskie (now the AG's deputy) acknowledged the breach occurred. A spokesman finally told Fox News a month later that “since he was first approached by the authorities, Cali AG Becerra has worked with them to provide them the information requested.”

Along with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, Becerra was Awan’s most consistent and earliest backer. He hired him in 2004, and between his personal office and the caucus that he controlled, paid the Awan family more money than any other member, payroll data shows.

This means examining Awan’s activities in 2016 could have created problems for Becerra and raised questions about more than a decade of potentially-compromised data as well as Becerra's judgment (tapped as a top law enforcer) for not acting on warning signs of illegality.

The most startling aspect of this caper is that Imran Awan actually worked on Congressional members’ IT .......WHILE LIVING IN PAKISTAN......MONTHS AT A TIME.

Didn’t Becerra or Debbie Wasserman Schultz ever advise anybody this absurd situation was going on?

Particularly since about half of Congress have signed onto a statement labelling Pakistan as a terrorist country.

(HAT TIP FREEPER CANDOR 7) The DOJ can start by interrogating every Muslim FBI agent in the agency, many of who report to the liberal fascist ready room run by Valerie Jarret at the Obama Hut , at 2446 Belmont Rd NW Washington DC NW

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.

These high-level intel committee appointments are "positions for sale." Every appointment has a dollar amount attached to it that elected Democrat members desiring the positions are required to raise by the DNC.

Democrat House Intel Committee member Cong Adam Schiff told ABC News Sunday awhile back: “Indeed, it would be negligent for us not to investigate the Russian connection......if a foreign government…has something that they can hang over the head of our president that can influence U.S. policy, it is very much in our national security interest to know it.”

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

MEMO TO CONG SCHIFF: You advanced the discredited Russian bunk, as low-level office help....Pakistani operativess working in your Congressional offices.....accessed US govt-issue computers teeming w/ sensitive intel involving the safety and security of Americans.

Cong Schiff, your House Intelligence Committee oversees all or part of the following executive branch departments and agencies:

• Office of the Director of National Intelligence

• Central Intelligence Agency

• Defense Intelligence Agency

• Department of Defense

• Department of Energy

• Department of Homeland Security

• Department of Justice

• Department of State

• Department of Treasury

• Drug Enforcement Administration

• Federal Bureau of Investigation

• National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency

• National Reconnaissance Office

• National Security Agency

• Office of Naval Intelligence

• Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency

• United States Army Intelligence and Security Command

• United States Coast Guard Intelligence

• Marine Corps Intelligence Activity

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

Democrats noticed nothing ---as the IT staff back-doored Congressional computers to siphon off classified security intel. The IT staff then absconded, hustled out of sight.......shockingly given visas while under criminal investigation.

Martha Raddatz of ABC News was completely unprofessional for not asking you about the Capitol Hill breach.

POINTS TO PONDER: The more you examine the Paki/infiltration, the more you sense that D/W/S did not act alone on this.......but that fact does not exonerate her treasonous activity.

This gal is super-ambitious. D/W/S actually has a spreadsheet of "people who owe her"....people she did favors for.

D/W/S was especially keen on getting into the good graces of the half-caste Royal Idiot b/c it suited her crass self-serving ambitions.

Strangely enough, on the surface it seemed like the half/caste kept shrugging her off.....as she pursued him w/ a vengeance.

Distilling the info, one concludes, D/W/S was a willing "doer of tasks," but the Royal Idiot had to give the appearance that they were not connected.

The Pakis could not have (A) gotten security clearance, (B) gargantuan salaries, and, (C) gotten visas .....without some pretty high-level help.

The grotesque salaries are also problematic.....could be one way D/W/S and Hill Democrats got paid off for their silence........via campaign contributions, kickbacks, wire-transfers, and the like.

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.

HOW MANY US GOVT CHECKS WERE THE AWANS CASHING? Imran Awan did not live at a rental house he owned, but his tenant confirmed he used the address to receive personal mail at the location....... mail that was often addressed to other names....the names of different aliases he employed.

Still to be ascertained is how many US govt checks the Paki criminal clan were actually cashing at any given time.

ITEM--Imran told people his name was "Alec."

ITEM--Although he lived elsewhere, Imran used one of his rental houses as a mail drop.

ITEM--A renter of the property said Imran received mail at that address under several different names.

ITEM--Some have observed that "Awan" seems to be a made-up name used frequently as an alias.

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

NOTE--It is very common among economic refugees, immigrants and illegals to use several identities to ride the US gravy train. It's a very lucrative endeavor.

<><> They were certainly clever enough to claim "asylum" from a terrorist country like Pakistan, and may have falsified apps that trigger hefty monthly SS checks.

<><> Not to mention SSI, disability, UI, EBT cards, and other welfare benefits.

<><> Imran has as many as 22 properties: he may have received multiple HUD Section 8 assistance and tax-paid utility subsidies.

<><> The FCC should have info on whether they had free Obamaphones.

<><> How the clan got those high paying jobs might pertain to their SS numbers being coded to give them job preference over Americans.

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

ACT NOW: Congress needs to look into this...and publicize its findings.

FBI TIPS PAGE-----https://tips.fbi.gov

They come here penniless, from places where they crap in a hole in the ground---and suddenly they're in the money.

THE US GOVT CASH HAUL IS HUGE cashing multiple US govt checks under several identities in all off these categories:

UI, SSI, Workmen's Comp,

TANF (temporary assistance to needy families),

WICS (food assistance),

Subsidized Section 8 shelter,

ObamaPhone subsidies,

Utility Assistance subsidies,

School breakfasts/lunches/snacks subsidies,

$5000 a year EITC checks per identity.

Not to mention falsifying EBT apps claiming "need"---buying non-food items w/ tax dollars.

Falsifying sub-prime mtg apps---flipping the houses among themselves for a big profit---then skipping town---leaving the banks holding the bag.

And on and on and on...ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

i posted three months ago. Nothing will happen with any of the Dems involved or the Awans. It will be calendared in the minor court case and will take two years to wind thru the system. It will be dropped or settled in favor of Awans. No one wants to know they stole information, money, etc... They can prove the CF is connected to the DNC computer system.
