These are the key elements of the case that make its so extraordinary and so potentially troubling:
• The Awan group had access to all of their bosses’ emails, documents and confidential files: everything on the lawmakers’ office computers and other electronic devices.
• That gave the technicians illegal access to all secret and privileged congressional information, including any potentially sensitive material that could be compromising and/or politically embarrassing.
• Lawmakers have no way of knowing if anything on their electronic devices was copied.
• The technicians had no oversight, and there was virtually no tracking of what they did.
• That was an extraordinary violation of the House security rules.
• The Awans are suspected of setting up a secret server to store information.
• They were paid much more than those in similar positions.
The suspects were all banned from the House of Representatives computer network back in February when the investigation was announced. But, despite all the damning evidence that continues to accumulate, no one has been charged or arrested. It also appears that none of their passports has been confiscated.
The Awan group had access to all the lawmakers’ emails and confidential files on office computers because they had set up the user accounts.
It appears the investigators might have begun looking into the Awans when they discovered congressional information was being sent to an off-site server, leading to suspicions the brothers were accessing and stealing the material.
The Daily Caller spoke with a former House IT staffer who said there was virtually no in-house tracking of what the suspects did.
That’s because, the paper reported, “Awan bullied central IT to bend the rules for him so there wouldn’t be a paper trail about the unusually high permissions he was requesting.”

There was one piece of new information near the bottom of the article (from a recent Daily Caller article we learned about Abbas, but it did NOT say he had become the IT administrator after being fired from McDonald's).
From article:
The case of one member of the Awan group, the aforementioned Rao Abbas, might illustrate how the brothers apparently used congressional employees who actually performed little, if any, work, to increase the brothers’ own income. and conducting what the Daily Caller termed a “multi-million-dollar IT scam.” The paper reported that although Abbas made $250,000 in his role as a House IT administrator, his most recent job experience had been working at McDonald’s, which had fired him.
Awan brothers scandal?
What Awan brothers scandal?
We don’t need no stinkin’ Awan brothers scandal!
Sincerely.
Your beloved mainstream media
GEORGE SOROS’ SPIES...
Interesting.
Time after time after time after time during the 0bama admin, Israeli security efforts were cover-blown; US efforts were thwarted. Who knows how much else. The very idea that these guys were granted access to everything they wanted was so despicably careless; it was as if HRC herself designed it.
And I occasionally mention the 18 CIA agents who were captured and killed (killed, not offered as exchanges, not imprisoned), they were killed dead in China. Thanks, Ms. Clinton, for your artful use of your unsecure server.
seriously?
One of the most powerful tools that the MSM has is the power NOT to cover a story. We Freepers heard about the Awan brothers months ago.
<><> DNC Debbie single-handedly aided and abetted the Awan clan's massive breach of US security on Capitol Hilln....in more ways than one.
<><> Significantly DNC Debbie facilitated the clan getting security clearances. Never did it enter stupid Debbie's braindead mind that Muslim Pakistani nationals were more than office help?
<><>At the DNC, Schultz masterminded the clan's remuneration package----making sure they got paid handsomely---pocketing some 5 million tax dollars as they toiled to undermine Americans' safety and security.
<><> The clan's grotesque compensation package under Schultz's DNC leadership is certainly suspicious. Might involve wire-transfer fraud, mail fraud, theft, kickbacks, money laundering and tax evasion.
<><> Schultz's former IT staffer is still listed as her advisor.
<><> The Pakistani nationals under scrutiny by Capitol Police have since fled the country.
<><> More egregiously, the Pakistanis' ability to get State Dept visas while under criminal scrutiny is a subject of speculation.....and may involve then-Secy Hillary Clinton and then-Pres Obama.
================================================
FACTS ON FILE Cong Debbie Vasserman Schultz's "IT advisor" is a VIP in Pakistan. In Pakistan, Imran Awan introduces himself as "from the US Congress" or from federal agencies.
The Pakistan govt apparently considers Imran very important b/c of his representations about his political power in the US. Imran travels in Pakistan with a VIP police escort.
=====================================================
This could be very easy to unravel. Pres Trump, AG Sessions, and Rex Tillerson need to call in the Pakistani Ambassador for a "little chat." The Pakistani Ambassador surely knows what important issus Imran is "advising" Cong Debbie about.
Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414
========================================
(HAT TIP BOOKSHELF) Here’s how to handle it:
<><> About half of House Republicans have signed a letter urging we cut off all aid to Pakistan. They consider it a terrorist-sponsoring nation.
<><> T-Rex calls in the Paki Ambassador, and speaking privately. gives him one week to show up with Wasserman-Schultz’s Haki/Pakis.
<><> Either that or State will support adding Pak to terrorist list.
<><> When the Haki/Pakis appear in his office (as they surely would), T-Rex turns them over to Justice (not the FBI).
<><>Attny Gen then oversees the case and the FBI is given a time certain to provide evidence so they can't Mafia it out.
Who is the donor?
These people were hired at the request of a donor.
Who were they working for?
Debbie needs to be deposed on this.
Memo to Cong Schiff: While you were busy trying to debunk Trump, you turned a blind eye to your low-level office help....spies working in Congressional offices accessing US govt computers containing intelligence that involves the safety and security of Americans.
The Pakistani Awan gang worked exclusively for Democrats. The gang had access to numerous agencies centering on Americans’ safety and security.
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
The Paki spies back-doored Congressional computers to siphon classified security intel....they then absconded, getting viasas from the State Dept to while under criminal investigation.
Martha Raddatz of ABC News was completely unprofessional for not asking you about the Capitol Hill breach.

The donor? Likely the usual suspects, but democrats in general.
From article:
Who used the Awans?
Although the Awan ring reportedly worked for some 80 Democrats in the House, it is difficult to identify all of them, given all the murky arrangements.
But the list of those reportedly employing the Awans and their associates includes these 23 current or former Democrats in Congress, in no particular order:
Andre Carson, Luis Guiterez, Jim Himes, Terri Sewell, Jackie Speier, Mike Quigley, Eric Swalwell, Patrick Murphy, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Joaquini Castro, Lois Frankel, Ted Lieu, Robin Kelly, Tammy Duckworth, Mark Takano, John Sarbanes, Diana DeGette, Cedric Richmond, Charlie Crist, Jacky Rosen, Sandy Levin, Karen Bass and Marcia Fudge.
Seriously. Other Congress critters fired the Awans back in February but there is no indication from any search that Schultz has ever let Imran go. Back in March she did change his status from IT administrator to “advisor.”
Aren’t there laws against treason? All DIMs, too. How pathetically disgusting.

Thanks Whenifhow and Liz.
Squash the like bugs
When more and more democrat names popped up and the huge salaries paid to the Awan family became known the media was told to drop this story. To a person they have been obedient since the order was put out.
Yea, and where are the Awan Brothers now?
Yea, and where is CNN?
Yea, and where is WAPO?
Yea, and where is NYT?
Yea, and where is MSNBC?

[Yea, and where are the Awan Brothers now?]
It was reported that the group has fled to Pakistan with the exception of Imran Awan, who has been named as an advisor to Debbie Wasserman Schults.
