Three Muslim Brothers, IT Professionals Fired from Capitol Hill for Spying – Funneled House Data
GP ^ | 02/09/17 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/09/2017 8:50:21 AM PST by Enlightened1

Three brothers who managed office IT for government officials were relieved of their duties last week on suspicion that they accessed specific computer networks without permission, also known as hacking.
 
Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan were barred from computer networks at the House of Representatives Thursday.
 
They accessed computers unauthorized. They were getting foreign information. The three brothers were making $161,000, $165,000, and $160,000.
One of the brothers has a criminal background.
 
Now this…
The three brothers funneled House data to an external server.
The Daily Caller reported:
 
Chiefs of staff for dozens of Democratic lawmakers who employed the four were informed last week that a criminal probe was underway into their use of congressional information technology systems, including the existence of an external server to which House data was being funneled, and into the theft of and overbilling for computer equipment.
 
Brothers Imran, Abid, and Jamal Awan and Hina Alvi, Imran’s wife, each made $160,000 a year as information technology workers for the House. Their salaries and time were shared among dozens of Democratic members, including former Democratic National Committee Chairman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida. The lawmakers also include members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
 
Despite the generous salaries, the four were involved in multiple suspicious mortgage transfers and a debt-evading bankruptcy. Abid had more than $1 million in debts following a failed business called Cars International that he ran in Falls Church, Va., from November 2009 to September 2010. Business associates said in court documents that Abid had stolen money and vehicles from them.

This should be big news but not even Fox is reporting on it.

They reported on it this morning on Fox & Friends.

Still not in the MSM news I see. Exposing the graft, filth and dishonesty of the democrat party is not news I guess.

So we know the Queen Clinton had her server, and several others as well. What we may not understand is that the corruption and movement of illegally obtained information is being bought and sold. These workers were probably part of a scheme between Arab donars and the thieves in office to funnel information to our enemies.

Andre is a black Muslim from Indiana.   I do  not know if he's a Black Muslim or not. 

He is grandson of Julia Carson: she of the flag scarf.

hat tip Daniel Greenfield

Carson is the second Muslim in Congress and the first Muslim on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and, more critically, is the ranking member on its Emerging Threats Subcommittee. He is also a member of the Department of Defense Intelligence and Overhead Architecture Subcommittee.

.
The Emerging Threats Subcommittee, of which Carson is a ranking member, is responsible for much of counterterrorism oversight. It is the worst possible place for a man with Carson’s credentials.

Carson had inherited his grandmother’s seat and exploited it to promote a radical Islamist agenda. He has interfaced with a laundry list of Islamist groups from CAIR to ISNA to ICNA to MPAC. Islamists have funded Carson’s career to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. The Center for Security Policy has put together a dossier of Carson’s connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is the parent organization of many key Islamic terror groups posing a threat to our national security including Al Qaeda and Hamas.

Andre Carson shared the stage at a CAIR banquet with Sirraj Wahaj: an unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade Center bombing who had once declared,” You don’t get involved in politics because it’s the American thing to do. You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.” CAIR itself had been named an unindicted co-conspirator in terror finance.

Carson had praised Tariq Ramadan who had been barred from this country for funding Islamic terrorists. And the Muslim politician was a co-sponsor of the Free Syria Act which attempted to aid Islamist Jihadists in Syria linked to the Muslim Brotherhood such as the Free Syrian Army.

The presence of Andre Carson on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Emerging Threats Subcommittee has always been extremely controversial. But this latest breach involving Democrats on this committee and on other key national security committees raises serious questions about the scale and magnitude of the real problem caused by a compromised congress.

While Carson and other HPSCI Democrats had been demanding security clearance for their staffers, three Pakistani Muslims working for them appear to have compromised security to an unknown degree.

Why were the Awan brothers, one of whom had a criminal record, even allowed to work in such a sensitive position? How did the personnel suspected in this case pass background checks? And was any classified information compromised as a result of these alleged breaches?

These questions and more must be asked and answered. But they are only the first of many questions.

When the Democrats are so contemptuous of our national security that they put forward Andre Carson, a politician who has appeared at Islamist events and praised radicals and extremists, to such a sensitive position, it is not surprising that they are equally willing to hire walking security risks.

The most obvious lesson here is that security must be tightened. If Democrats refuse to take their responsibilities seriously, then President Trump must do it for them. Untithe Awan case is resolved, those Democrats who employed them must have their access to classified material restricted.

Under no circumstances may the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence members who employed the Awan brothers be permitted to allow their staffers to gain access to classified material.

And Andre Carson must be forced to choose between his Islamist ties and his membership in the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Emerging Threats Subcommittee. No one should be allowed to have a foot in both the pro-terrorist and the counter-terrorist spheres of our society.

Congressional Republicans must take the lead in cleaning house. If they cannot do so, President Trump must step in. At stake are the security of our nation and the safety of our troops. The Democrats may have abandoned their responsibility to our brave men and women, from the battlefield to the VA, but those elected officials who still believe that their sacrifices matter cannot remain silent.

The swamp that allowed Andre Carson and the Awan brothers inappropriate access must be drained.

Not sure who hired them, here’s who they worked for (The link below offers details of their employment)

“Last year, eight members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence issued a demand that their staffers be granted access to top secret classified information.

The signatories to the letter were Andre Carson, Luis Guiterez, Jim Himes, Terri Sewell, Jackie Speier, Mike Quigley, Eric Swalwell and Patrick Murphy. All the signatories were Democrats. Some had a history of attempting to undermine national security.

All three of the Pakistani brothers had been employed by Democrats.

Gwen Graham, who had also been on the Armed Services Committee and on the Tactical Air and Land Forces subcommittee, had employed Jamal Awan.....”

“Andre Carson is the ranking member on its Emerging Threats Subcommittee. He is also a member of the Department of Defense Intelligence and Overhead Architecture Subcommittee.

He has extensive ties to Muslim Brotherhood. He praised the grandson Tariq Ramadan (the grandson of the founder of the MB. Tariq was banned from the US, but Hillary lifted the ban on her own discretion).”

Imran is married to Alvi

Imran Awan is still employed by Washerman Schultz.

Alvi is still employed by Gregory Meeks

Imran Awan was first employed on Capitol Hill by former Rep. Robert Wexler in January 2004 as an “information technology director.” Awan has worked for at least 25 other House Democrats since that time as a shared employee providing technical support including to previous House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra, currently the California attorney general.

There is an active investigation.

How stupid can the Dumpocrats be? Their treason and aiding and abetting terrorism is in writing.

The FIX was in. Massive election fraud insured that Hillary was going to be elected.

The same non-Justice Dept that failed to indict Hillary would never have investigated these friendly Muslims stealing classified information. There was nothing to worry about (Until Americans elected Donald Trump).

Hillary’s MASSIVE MELTDOWN "If that f - - - ing bastard wins, we all hang from nooses!

Sounds to me like the “big bad Russians” who supposedly did all the hacking were actually maybe CAIR’s pals.

Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for the dems to have to acknowledge...

The Demonrats had the system scammed. With the Demons massive election fraud, Hillary was in the bag.

Why should the Dems be careful? They owned the NON-Justice Dept, no investigation would find the massive corruption and treason.

Hussein even had prayer paraphernalia in the White HOuse for his Muslims. It was all over if HIllary had been elected.

Agree. Meltdown indicates something very substantial at the national level, not just offing people for betterment of self.
