While most know about the Yemen raid, most do not know about the dismissal of the three Aman brothers, Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan...

The raid was planned under the Obama administration, but the decision to execute the raid was “punted” to Trump, using the pretext of waiting for a “low loom” (moonless) night to execute the raid with maximum secrecy:...

the Aman brothers were hired by the Obama administration, and access to top secret information regarding military operations. The committees they allegedly worked for had access to “the most sensitive and secretive government intelligence, including covert anti-terrorism activity… including the Yemen operation”:

Almost immediately, the raiding force on the ground took intense fire, according to the briefing paper and a senior military official. Occupants of the targeted house and its compound, along with their guard force, moved to a separate cluster of houses nearby where families, including women and children, were staying. Armed women fired on the U.S. and Emirati forces.

If there is any probability that the Obama regime organized a procedural military ambush for the incoming Trump team with the possibility of battlefield deaths, that would certainly define treason, directly aiding the enemy.
Clearly, naively, on Trump's military team's part not dumping Obama military plans in their entirety was a huge mistake. Not having the Aman (Awan?) brothers under arrest for suspicion of espionage and being enemy foreign agents may be the second monumental Trump mistake.

Treason certainly qualifies as high crimes and misdemeanors, under which Barack Obama may be impeached. I would consider it humorous that treason might be protected by statutes of limitation.

But to claim that this sort of operational information is ordinarily available to congresscritters has not been true in the past.

I am sure there was a lot going on during the Obamanation that was not standard practice in other administrations.

[Bigg Red]

Good points.

Abid, Imran, and Jamal

Has anybody here seen my old friend Abid?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He spilled a lot of secrets,
And it seems the good are caught young,
I just looked around and he's gone.

Has anybody here seen my old friend Imran?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He helped kill a lot of infidels,
But it seems the good are martyred young,
I just looked around and he's gone.

Has anybody here seen my old friend Jamal?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He helped ISIL kill a lot of Infidels,
But it seems he might have been found out,
I just looked around and he's gone.

Has anybody here seen my old friend Valarie?
Can you tell me where she's gone?
I thought I saw her walkin'
Up over the hill,
With Abid, Imran, and Jamal.

LOL!!!! Very well done!!!

[Carriage Hill]

Under the criminal 0bummer & Klintoon Regime, it doesn’t surprise me.

BEARS REPEATING...

One of the Trump lines that really got me behind him “We have really stupid [treasonous] people running our country.”

How thoroughly were the Awan brothers vetted by the Obama incompetent or enemy regime? Warrants a Congressional investigation, assuming Obama kept records as required by law.

So much for embracing Muslim Mass Murdering killers in his administration!

[USNBandit]

They were contractors.

[Karoo]

Yeah I remember G.Gordan Liddy saying on his radio show yrs ago that the State Dept is filled with Arab suppporters.

[Thibodeaux]

Perhaps we are learning that there was no security

Given the email leaks at the DNC we know if there was security it was lose.

Personally, I think Malia leaked dinner table talk

[Secret Agent Man]

b:/c of muslim obama, there are muslim spy groups in all major govt agencies.

[Pirate Ragnar]

This thread is a lot of interesting speculation. There is certainly a lot of smoke; we don’t have hard evidence of the fire just yet.

[elteemike]

Please tell us the Aman brothers are in custody and undergoing enhanced interrogation...

[Liz]

The brothers are currently being described as three sketchy, rogue intel staffers that compromised House Intelligence, and Foreign Affairs Committee Members.:

Abid Awan, Imran Awan and Jamal Awan, are three brothers, foreign nationals who worked within the IT department for members of the House Permanent Intelligence Committee and have been fired during probe of security breach on Capitol Hill.

There is a fourth member and his Muslim wife involved in sensitive political IT....all share a house.

No, he needs to:
1. Keep everyone for an unspecified period.
2. Give some amnesty to a few trusted people, if any.
3. Prosecute as many as possible.
4. After all witness are no longer need, fire the employees that are not convicted or tried, keeping the trustworthy, if any.
5. Rebuild whatever needs to be rebuilt.

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

The signatories to the letter were all Democrats:

<><> Andre Carson,

<><>Luis Guiterez,

<><>Jim Himes,

<><>Terri Sewell,

<><>Jackie Speier,

<><>Mike Quigley,

<><> Eric Swalwell

<><> Patrick Murphy.

Some signatories had a history of attempting to undermine national security. Two of them have been linked to another emerging security breach.

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 to whom the demand for accesss as addressed.

The brothers are suspected of serious violations, including accessing members’ computer networks without their knowledge and stealing equipment from Congress.

Jamal handled IT for Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Texas Democrat who serves on both the intelligence and foreign affairs panels. “As of 2/2, his employment with our office has been terminated,” Castro spokeswoman Erin Hatch told TheDCNF Friday.

Jamal also worked for Louisiana Democrat Rep. Cedric Richmond, who is on the Committee on Homeland Security.

Imran worked for Reps. Andre Carson, an Indiana Democrat, and Jackie Speier, a California Democrat. Both are members of the intelligence committee, and their spokesmen did not respond to requests for comment. Imran also worked for the House office of Wasserman Schultz.

Then-Rep. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat, employed Abid for IT work in 2016. She was a member of House committees dealing with the armed services, oversight, and Benghazi. Duckworth was elected to the Senate in November, 2016.

Abid has a prior criminal record and a bankruptcy. Abid also worked for Rep. Lois Frankel, a Florida Democrat who is member of the foreign affairs committee. The three men are “shared employees,” meaning they are hired by multiple offices, which split their salaries and use them as needed for IT services.

It is up to each member to fire them.

We seem to be losing the best of us in the last 15 years.

Hopefully they are free with implants.

“One of the Trump lines that really got me behind him “We have really stupid people running our country.””

True. But we also have a really stupid segment of the electorate voting in idiots like John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell...
