FULL STORY Grassley Seeks Immigration Files For Pakistani Suspects In House
By Mark Tapscott / Executive Editor and chief of Investigative Group

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has requested copies of immigration files for the six Pakistani suspects in the House IT scandal, who allegedly stole equipment from Congress and accessed computers without permission. Grassley is seeking more information on Imran Awan, his wife, his two brothers and two of his close friends in connection to the scandal. Capitol police have accused Awan and his associates of violating congressional security policies and stealing equipment from Congress. Awan is from Pakistan, and was arrested by the FBI in July as he boarded a flight to the country. “In light of the alleged illegal activity, the committee seeks to better understand Awan and his associates’ immigration histories,” Grassley said in an August 4 letter to Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Elaine Duke. The letter was made public by the committee Monday.

“Therefore, please provide the Alien File for the individuals listed below,” he continued. “Please also include any temporary files, working files, and all documents and items contained in them that were generated by DHS or in its possession.” Besides Awan, the immigration files were requested for his wife, Hina Alvi, his brothers Abid and Jamal, sister-in-law Natalia Sova and friend Rao Rabbas. All are suspects in the criminal investigation, which became public in February.

“Awan began working as an IT aide in 2004,” Grassley said in the letter. “Later, his wife, two brothers, and two friends began working as IT aides for nearly 30 congressmen. Over the span of 13 years, they collected more than $4 million— a sum that is reported to be three times higher than the norm for a government contractor.”

All of the congressmen involved are House Democrats, including several on the intelligence, foreign affairs and homeland security committees. The IT aides had access to all of the emails and office files of the congressmen, who employed them on a shared basis. The employment of all of the suspects was terminated in February, except Awan’s wife, who was retained by Democratic Rep. Wasserman Schultz until March. Wasserman Schultz — the Florida Democrat who was Democratic National Committee Chairman until July 2016 — kept Awan on her payroll until July 25.

Awan was arrested July 24 at Dulles International Airport by the FBI, U.S. Capitol Police and U.S. Customs and Border Protection before he could board the flight to Pakistan. His wife returned to Pakistan in March, along with their three children. Authorities charged Awan with bank fraud in connection with a $165,000 mortgage loan from the Wright Patman Congressional Federal Credit Union. Awan wire transferred $283,000 to Pakistan prior to his attempt to flee the country, according to a court document filed by the FBI. Within hours of his arrest, Imran Awan retained Chris Gowen as his defense attorney. Gowen is a long-time associate of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Dum-Dum Debbie Wassermann Schultz is relying on the tired excuse "Religious profiling, and Islamaphobia" -----to bail her out of this mess.

Can Debbie Wassermann Schultz produce a documented paper trail of religious profiling complaints?

<><> Does she have reports filed under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act that prohibits workplace segregation based on religion?

<><> Does she have complaints filed w/ the EEOC, an agency that monitors religious discrimination?

<><> Does she have reports filed w/ the Congressional Islamic Staff Association?

<><> Does she have letters from constituents complaining about her Muslim hires?

<><> Does she have reports filed w/ the Civil Rights Commission?

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

I didn't think so.

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

CONGRESS AND THE FBI NEED TO DETERMINE:

The extent of Wassermann-Schultz and the DNC's assistance to (a) House members of the intelligence panel, and, (b) members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, among the dozens of elected Democrats employing the Paki/suspects 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 five Paki suspects get officially qualified by Wasserman Schultz and 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 Wasserman Schultz and 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 Wasserman Schultz at 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 Wasserman Schultz and the DNC know if the House Permanent Intelligence Committee computers in functioning condition at this time?

<><> Does Wasserman Schultz and 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 Intel Committee intel equipment failed or was found to have been compromised?

<><> Does Wasserman Schultz and the DNC have a list of other foreign nationals (from countries President Obama identified as terrorist countries) Democrats employed on Capitol Hill?

<><> The DNC should list foreign nationals by name and country on Democrats' payrolls, who currently have access to US intel and are using US govt computers.

Hat tip to Liz for digging this up:

Sen Grassley is onto something.......b/c the Pakis could be sucking up tax dollars bigtime....over and above the gargantuan salaries D/W/S engineered for the clan.

<><>could be pocketing tax dollars using multiple identities.

<><> could have sought “asylum”——that scam triggers hefty monthly SS payments.

<><> also enables them to travel back and forth to Pakistan on the taxpayers’ dime (THIS IS IMMIGRATION LAW, PEOPLE)

<><> One recent federal criminal complaint detailed the 20-year saga of a Jordanian family sucking up taxpayer disability assistance funds on SSI....claiming bogus “fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms,” and “affective disorders” while secreting real estate, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.

The latter sounds a lot like the Awan’s modus operandi.
