Dem IT aides pretended to be congressmen to steal data

In a report on the bizarre scandal centering on Pakistani-born Democratic congressional IT aides, a House investigation concluded the aides accessed the data of members for whom they did not work, sometimes logging in as lawmakers to cover their tracks.

The report summarizing the findings of a four-month internal investigation that said the behavior of the aides mirrored a “classic method for insiders to exfiltrate data from an organization,” the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

Imran Awan Imran Awan Authorities said there is evidence the members’ data may have been aggregated onto one server, which then was physically stolen.

As WND reported, IT staffer Imran Awan, his brothers Abid and Jamal, and their wives Natalia Sova and Hina Alvi, were highly paid IT administrators working for dozens of House Democrats until Capitol Police began probing them in early 2017.

The IT staffers allegedly ran a ghost employee scheme with a take of nearly $6 million over the years.

also, if as George Webb has suggested/proved that there are multiple ‘rat lines’ run by powerful people using this Awan spy game, then there must be multiple investigations?? That’s my hope, at least - but Congress sure took it’s time shutting off access to these spys -
hopefully they were dropping malware /viruses thru the access servers, lol...

Is there anything stupider than a Democrat politician? It’s surprising that they ever learned how to lie and steal.

If everything in this saga were exactly the same, but one of the Awans was a registered Republican, this would be the biggest story in the world for two years running.

House Democrat Ted Lieu of California employed Abid Awan; Lieu insisted it was simply a case of bank fraud. “If you look at the charge against the brother (Imran), he was charged with bank fraud … that has nothing to do with national security.”

However, despite Lieu's vain attempts to cover his gross negligence, there are “strong indications that many of the 44 House members’ data – including personal information of constituents seeking Congressional help – was entirely out of the Democrat members’ possession, and was siphoned off and stored on the House Democratic Caucus server by the Awans using Democrat Cong Becerra's password and codes.....data from multiple House Democrats was absconded with; authorities said that the data physically disappeared while it was being monitored by police.

POINTS TO PONDER:

<><> a constituent requesting member services must submit his/hers Social Security number;

<><> the SS nos of House Democrat constituents was readily available to the Awan clan;

<><> Social Security nos are a hot commodity to Third world impoverished economic refugees who pay goodly sums for numbers which allow them to get on the lucrative US gravy train;

<><>the opportunistic Awans might have a thriving business selling House Democrats constituents' Social Security numbers.....PLUS the vital information House members' constituents provided to their rep.

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

NEED TO KNOW ASAP:

<><>Did any House Democrats advise their constituents Social Security nos may have been compromised?

<><>Did any House Democrats advise their constituents vital information they provided may have been compromised?

<><> Did any House Democrats advise their constituents that their emails and other communiques were being processed in Pakistan?

<><> Did any House Democrats advise their constituents they employed an IT who is on trial with his wife on charges of bank fraud.

<><> Did any House Democrats advise their constituents the IT techs Democrats employed have been named as possible suspects in Capitol Hill security breaches?

I didn't think so.

She SHOULD try to flee after all the crimes ........ that’s why her brother helped cover up the Seth Rich murder in all likelihood — he’s the assistant in that area.

DNC finds out it’s Seth Rich taking Hillary down via Wikileaks. All they have to do is hire a low-level street thug for cash to do the job and give him instructions on how to pull it off. My guess is they already killed him and cut him up. Or they used a professional mercenary who is back on foreign soil doing other “work”. Far-fetched? Perhaps - but look at the timeline - all TOO convenient. I also have MPD in this note (don’t get too distracted)


How tragic that Grandman Madelyn Payne Dunham died less than 48 hours before the 2008 election of the Lying Kenyan Usurper. The only woman in the Western World with intimate knowledge of the birth and history of one Barack Hussein Obama.

Madalyn Payne Dunham death: Died November 2, 2008 (aged 86) Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S. - NOTE: that is a Hawaii date - not sure of the time but it would be several hours later in the Lower 48.

Just like how tragic that Seth Rich, Bernie supporter and Wikileaks informant, was shot to death just before (15 days) the 2016 Democrat coronation of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Democrat 2016 Convention Dates: Jul 25, 2016 – Jul 28, 2016

Seth Rich shot to death Date: July 10, 2016

Succinylcholine - best thing to do is cremate the body to hide the evidence. Very effective if one has access to it. One particular Killer Nurse used it to take out babies in two different locations.

One particular, ahem, witch tried it on “Forensic Files” - she pulled it from standard OR supplies - though a controlled substance, ostensibly.

She took Hubby to a “murder mystery” live play, injected him, set up the body and set the hotel room on fire in an attempted to so badly burn the body they wouldn’t catch it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWMvBs6MEXY

She failed to completely burn up the body and the blood - autopsy plus testimony of a co-worker who she “jokingly” asked to kill her husband put her away.

Barack Hussein Obama spreads grandma's cremated ashes into the sea - bye, bye, Madelyn Payne Dunham - the only woman in the Western world who knew anything about his birth and upbringing - lived about 86 years - dropped dead less than 48 hours before (CONUS time) the 2008 Presidential election.

It seems likely the Awans were running a classic tech theft ring from the House Democrat Caucus. They first report the expensive tech equipment stolen then sell it out the back door. The greedy Democrat also gets a cut.

NY House Democrat Rep. Yvette Clarke AND her chief of staff (who she directs) have some explaining to do.

Cong Clarke and her chief of staff did not alert authorities to the huge amt of missing equipment "written-off" to the tune of 120,000 tax dollars (also "missing") when it was brought to the attention of Yvette Clarke's office around Feb 2016.

A Congressman's written request to sign away that much "lost" electronic equipment would have been “way outside any realm of normalcy,” particularly since Clarke's small office employed only 16 aides. The 120,000 tax dollars would have bought about 150 devices.

Clarke's office failed to alert authorities until months later when House administrators told Clarke's office they were reviewing finances connected to the Awans.

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

Here's the sap-happy Dem blithely "aiding and abetting" the theft of US-govt issue equipment.
"Oh, it's just a measly 120,000 tax dollars.....just write it off."

Cong Yvette Clarke describes herself as a "Caribbean-American."

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

BACKSTORY---The House administrators asked Clarke’s then-chief of staff, Wendy Anderson, whether she had noticed any anomalies, and at that time she alerted them to the $120,000 write-off, the official told TheDCNF.

<><> This raises questions regarding how Democrat Yvette Clarke wouldn’t have noticed (A) that tech equipment was being purchased, (B) in quantities a member's office might not plausibly need, (C) but never actually materialized at Democrat Yvette Clarke's office, having been delivered to Imran Awan's house

<><> Being scrutinized is a falsified invoicing scheme that authorities believe involved cooperation from within the ranks of the Hill's tech supplier, CDW Government Inc.

REALITY CHECK Equipment purchased by members’ offices is normally tracked closely by central House-wide administrators, but House rules allow micro-purchases under $500 to be treated more informally. That rule was exploited by the marauding Paki clan.

<><>

Democrat Congressional offices IT'ed by the Awans routinely submitted falsified invoices that routinely showed high-priced tech items falsely billed at just under the $500.00 cutoff rule that kept it off the House tracking radar.

<><> More shockingly, CDW Government Inc. the tax-paid equipment was deliviered ..... not to the Congressional office...... but to Imran’s house, a knowledgeable source said.

However, the Democrat member (or high-level staffer with financial responsibility in the member's office) would still have to sign a voucher for each such purchase. ======

[”Oh, it’s just a measly 120,000 tax dollars.....just write it off.”]

Kramer: These businesses, they just write it off.

Jerry: You don’t even know what a write off is.

Kramer: Do you?

Jerry: No, I don’t.

Kramer: Well they do. And they’re the ones writing it off.
