Aides Fear Suspects In Hill Breach Are Blackmailing Members With Their Own Data
dailycaller.com ^ | 05/21/2017

Posted on 05/27/2017 8:11:39 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Congressional technology aides are baffled that data-theft allegations against four former House IT workers — who were banned from the congressional network — have largely been ignored, and they fear the integrity of sensitive high-level information.

Five Capitol Hill technology aides told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group that members of Congress have displayed an inexplicable and intense loyalty towards the suspects who police say victimized them. The baffled aides wonder if the suspects are blackmailing representatives based on the contents of their emails and files, to which they had full access.

“I don’t know what they have, but they have something on someone. It’s been months at this point” with no arrests, said Pat Sowers, who has managed IT for several House offices for 12 years. “Something is rotten in Denmark.”

A manager at a tech-services company that works with Democratic House offices said he approached congressional offices, offering their services at one-fourth the price of Awan and his Pakistani brothers, but the members declined. At the time, he couldn’t understand why his offers were rejected but now he suspects the Awans exerted some type of leverage over members.

“There’s no question about it: If I was accused of a tenth of what these guys are accused of, they’d take me out in handcuffs that same day, and I’d never work again,” he said.

<><> Garret Bonosky, deputy director of the DNC, May 4, 2016 email: “Amy — I will call you shortly. I have to get this ipad thing figured out. Need to make sure I have (DWS's) username and password.”

One of them was alleged to have fled to Pakistan.
I wonder if the murdered US Attorney was looking into how they got their visas, that was his area of responsibility.

except...how do you blackmail a Democrat. Perhaps they have evidence that a given Democrat is straight, rather than gay? That could be a career killer. Or perhaps they have evidence that a particular Democrat never tried to burn down a college administration building? That could also be a career killer. Or perhaps a Democrat did not have an intern ‘work on him’ while he sat in his office?

I just wonder what they could have on these Democrats that would hurt them.

Quite likely there is blackmail going on in one form or another. The Dem's are really scared of something. Remember last week when Wasserman Schultz threatens DC Police Chief for investigating her IT staff's crimes? You don't do that for no reason.

And the simplest answer is ..... They BOTH are corrupt (the Pakistani’s AND the democrats who hired them,
AND the media who is covering up the corruption,
AND the blackmail/persuasion to continue to support the radical Muslims the Pakistanis represent and support.

But, no.

It was the Chief of the US Capitol Police, which is different from DC (city) police. I doubt that the US Capitol Police has the expertise & competence to fully investigate the computer and potential espionage aspects. This should have been an FBI case from the start (not that the FBI is always so reliable, either, but at least they have far more relevant staff and experience).

The heat on this needs to be turned way way up. This whole thing should be treated as a potential espionage case, for onee thing. Foreign nationals from a nation which is a hotbed of terrorism, getting extensive access to House files, including everything handled by sensitive committees such as the House Intelligence Committee.

We need some prominent national figures to demand that all intel sharing with House Democrats cease until this case has been completely investigated and until much much better security/computer standards are in place.
