House Democrats fire IT staffers under investigation by Capitol Hill police
Hot Air ^ | March 1, 2017 | by John Sexton

Two IT staffers who have been under investigation by Capitol Hill police for a month were fired this week by two House Democrats. Politico reports:

Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) confirmed to Politico that Hina Alvi’s last day as an IT support staffer in his office was Tuesday. Her husband, Imran Awan, was working for Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) as of Tuesday evening, but a spokeswoman for Fudge said midday Wednesday that Awan was no longer an employee.

As of Wednesday, Awan was still working as a technology adviser for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), although he’s been blocked from accessing the House computer system since early February.

Alvi, Awan and three other House aides, including Abid Awan and Jamal Awan, relatives of Imran Awan, and Rao Abbas, are all linked to the criminal investigation being conducted by the U.S. Capitol Police.

A previous Politico report describes what the investigation is about:

The Daily Caller adds, “Investigators found that congressional information was being copied to an off-site server.” It’s not clear that there was anything nefarious going on with regard to the computer access. Capitol Hill police are not commenting on the ongoing investigation so it’s possible the main focus here is the alleged theft of equipment. The Daily Caller describes a complex financial history among the individuals being investigated, including a failed car dealership which led to a lawsuit and a declaration of bankruptcy.

Despite firing Hina Alvi, Rep. Meeks told Politico, “I have seen no evidence that they were doing anything that was nefarious.” As for Rep. Fudge, Tuesday she promised Imran Awan would receive “due process” but then Wednesday a spokesperson announced he had been fired. . .

Sounds like the DEMOCRATS who employed them know something is coming from that investigation and they want to separate themselves from it as much as possible.

The investigation should be expanded to include the House democrats responsible for hiring these individuals in the first place.

Only being investigated by the Capital police?? The potential for hacking, espionage, fraud and more requires investigation by the FBI and CIA. I suggest they may well be the Clinton hackers. With her disregard for security opens the door for people like these three brothers getting into the system and selling the info.

Why is it that the RATs have so many muzzies in their IT department? Don’t these people have easy access to state secrets? I wonder how many bugs have been planted throughout the building and how many members of the Muslim Brotherhood are listening in.

Hina Alvi, Imran Awan, Abid Awan and Jamal Awan, Rao Abbas - under criminal investigation by the U.S. Capitol Police.

...complex financial history...failed car dealership which led to a lawsuit and a declaration of bankruptcy.

Congressional copied to an off-site server

Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.)..."no evidence that they were doing anything that was nefarious.”

"Server problems" -- where have we heard that before? What is it with Democrats and servers?

DRAIN THE SWAMP!!

This is as fetid as any swamp Trump can find in Washington, DC. Filthy, putrid, deadly, infested swamp.
