New Intel=> Imran Awan Was Banned From House Network After Attempting To Hide ‘Secret Server’

With each passing day, we learn more and more about the dark and murky past of Pakistan IT staffer Imran Awan. The former employee of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is accused of stealing hardware from ranking Democrats and sending sensitive intel to foreign groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. A new report reveals Imran Awan was banned from the House’s network for attempting to hide a secret server.

Daily Caller reports:

Now-indicted former congressional IT aide Imran Awan allegedly routed data from numerous House Democrats to a secret server. Police grew suspicious and requested a copy of the server early this year, but they were provided with an elaborate falsified image designed to hide the massive violations. The falsified image is what ultimately triggered their ban from the House network Feb. 2, according to a senior House official with direct knowledge of the investigation.

The secret server was connected to the House Democratic Caucus, an organization chaired by then-Rep. Xavier Becerra. Police informed Becerra that the server was the subject of an investigation and requested a copy of it. Authorities considered the false image they received to be interference in a criminal investigation, the senior official said.

Data was also backed up to Dropbox in huge quantities, the official said. Congressional offices are prohibited from using Dropbox, so an unofficial account was used, meaning Awan could have still had access to the data even though he was banned from the congressional network.

Data was also backed up to Dropbox in huge quantities, the official said. Congressional offices are prohibited from using Dropbox, so an unofficial account was used, meaning Awan could have still had access to the data even though he was banned from the congressional network.

According to the report, Imran Awan “had access to all emails and office computer files of 45 members of Congress who are listed below.”

As TGP reported on Tuesday, we are now hearing rumblings that the Awans could receive immunity in exchange for dirt on Wasserman Schultz, according to Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ).

I found nothing about this on the link to the Lou Dobbs show,...maybe they pulled it for some reason,...I just saw segments while watching the Angels - Detroit BB Game.

Gee whiz, Ernie. Now is the time for me to chide you because I’ve already posted this article. That’s what everybody does to me, even though I always do a search before posting. However, I shall not tweak you because I think that the more times this article is posted, the better for everyone’s edification! :)

If he’s even thinking about squealing, he has a bad case of suicidal depression.

They must have offered SOMETHING substantial to the wife who fled to Pakistan, in order to get her to agree to come back AND BE ARRESTED, just not in front of their children.

I don’t know why they are offering them anything.

Then-Rep. Xavier Becerra deliberately gave a false image of the “secret server” to the police but was mysteriously not arrested. Instead, he became Attorney General of California.

Is it really a crime if the Democrats want to sell us all into slavery?

I mean, think of how happy they will be with all that bribe money.

Then-Rep. Xavier Becerra deliberately gave a false image of the “secret server” to the police but was mysteriously not arrested. Instead, he became Attorney General of California.

Imran's secret server was connected to the House Democratic Caucus, chaired by then-Rep. Xavier Becerra.

The executive director of the Democratic Caucus was Sean McCluskie, who was Democrat Becerra’s chief of staff. McCluskie is now chief deputy attorney general of California alongside AG Becerra.

McCluskie has gone incommunicado---he failed to return The Daily Caller's repeated requests for comment on this monumental story.

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

BACKSTORY---On Jan. 24, 2017, Democrat Becerra vacated his congressional seat to become California’s attorney general. “He wanted to wipe his server, and we brought to his attention it was under investigation. L/E asked for an image of the server. But Democrat Becerra apparently colluded and conspired w/ other actors, and deliberately turned over a fake server,” a knowledgeable senior official said.

Capitol Police considered the fake image a sign that the Awans knew exactly what they were doing and were going to great lengths to try to cover it up. The House Sergeant-at-Arms banned them from the network as a result.

For Democrat House members to say their intel data was not compromised is simply inaccurate. The Awan's had access to all of the Democrats' sensitive intel.....data that impacted the safety and security of Americans.......including all emails. "Imran Awan is the walking example of an insider threat, a criminal actor who had access to everything,” the senior official said.

Democrat Becerra as informed his server as the subject of an investigation and handed over a false image. Authorities considered the false image Democrat Becerra handed them to be Becerra's calculated interference in a criminal investigation, the senior official said.

Ex-Cong Becerra is now California's Atty General...... Cali's top L/E officer.

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

Americans demand the US DOJ remove AG Xavier Becerra and Chief Deputy AG Sean McCluskie from office, ASAP.
