House Hacking Suspects Could Read Every Email Dozens Of Congressmen Sent And Received (Awan Bros)
Daily Caller ^ | March 13 2017 | Luke Rosiak

Congressional IT staffers who are the subject of a criminal investigation into misusing their positions had full access to members’ “correspondence, emails, confidential files,” and there was almost no tracking of what they did, a former House technology worker said.

Imran Awan bullied central IT to bend the rules for him so there wouldn’t be a paper trail about the unusually high permissions he was requesting. And their actions were not logged, so members have no way of knowing what information they may have taken, the central IT employee said.

“They had access to EVERYTHING. Correspondence, emails, confidential files – if it was stored on the Member system, they had access to it,” the former House Information Resources (HIR) technology worker with first-hand knowledge of Imran’s privileges told Daily Caller.

“There were some things – like access to the House email system that were totally controlled by the technicians at HIR. In order for certain permissions to be granted, a form was required to ensure that there was a paper trail for the requested changes. Imran was constantly complaining that he had to go through this process and trying to get people to process his access requests without the proper forms. Some of the permissions he wanted would give him total access to the Members’ stuff.”

“IT staff at HIR can be tracked for every keystroke they make,” the worker said. But by comparison, “when these guys were granted access to the Member’s computer systems there is no oversight or tracking of what they may be doing on the Member’s system. For example they could make a copy of anything on the Member’s computer system to a thumb drive or have it sent to a private server they had set up and no one would know.”

More from article - which is extensive - worth the read.

The central IT staffer said any suggestion that the brothers’ access didn’t span the full gamut of congressional intrigue was silly because they were the ones giving out permissions.

“When a new Member begins, they guide them on everything from which computer system to purchase to which constituent management system to go with and all other related hardware purchases. Then they install everything and set up all the accounts AND grant all the required permissions and restrictions,” the staffer said.

“In effect, they are given administrative control of the Members’ computer operations. They then set up a remote access so they can connect from wherever they are and have full access to everything on the Member’s system.”

THIS must be why the RATS are being so quiet. They’re on the Hindenberg and have seen how the movie ends.

THree would be just a start. There were more than three Iwans, in fact it was a psedonym for operatives who were brought in, just call them “Mohammad Awan”, stick him in the same house and let him use of of the IDs. This is a huge spy ring and conspiracy based on the stuff I’ve been reading, I just hope it goes from conspiracy theorists to FBI warrants and arrests. But I have no doubt it’s true.

I’m behind ;-)

So what do you think? Is he onto the truth here? I’m like Mulder, I want to beleive, because getting the true picture is the first step toward dealing with the threat.

He sure sounds credible to me, the whole story does. Or am I just being trolled?

[He sure sounds credible to me, the whole story does. Or am I just being trolled?]

Haven’t followed him since the beginning, but today I found under some of the videos, he puts a list of topics he has covered and at the bottom is a google document link where he has ALL the story boards/ videos he has created.

Example - under this video - part 1 Day 141 - is the google document link - at the bottom

It appears his sources are from news sites, but he does add in a lot of his own theories at times as well as his computer expertise.
