House IT Aides Fear Suspects In Hill Breach Are Blackmailing Members With Their Own Data (Awan)
Daily Caller ^ | May 21 2017 | Luke Rosiak

Posted on 05/23/2017 6:11:17 AM PDT by Whenifhow

Congressional technology aides are baffled that data-theft allegations against four former House IT workers — who were banned from the congressional network — have largely been ignored, and they fear the integrity of sensitive high-level information.

Imran Awan and three relatives were colleagues until police banned them from computer networks at the House of Representatives after suspicion the brothers accessed congressional computers without permission.

Five Capitol Hill technology aides told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group that members of Congress have displayed an inexplicable and intense loyalty towards the suspects who police say victimized them. The baffled aides wonder if the suspects are blackmailing representatives based on the contents of their emails and files, to which they had full access.

“I don’t know what they have, but they have something on someone. It’s been months at this point” with no arrests, said Pat Sowers, who has managed IT for several House offices for 12 years. “Something is rotten in Denmark.”

A manager at a tech-services company that works with Democratic House offices said he approached congressional offices, offering their services at one-fourth the price of Awan and his Pakistani brothers, but the members declined. At the time, he couldn’t understand why his offers were rejected but now he suspects the Awans exerted some type of leverage over members.

“There’s no question about it: If I was accused of a tenth of what these guys are accused of, they’d take me out in handcuffs that same day, and I’d never work again,” he said.

Much More than an IT and Procurement Scam

Notably in 2009, the Awan brothers opened a car dealership in Virginia identified as Cars International A, LLC, interestingly referred to as “CIA” in court documents. Information contained in several well-researched and comprehensive investigative reports by The Daily Caller,

The Gateway Pundit and George Webb, a guest on The Hagmann & Hagmann Report, details the mysterious car dealership and notes that the Awan brothers were also the recipient of a $100,000 “loan” made by Iraqi politician and disgraced “doctor” Ali al-Attar, who has reportedly fled to Iraq and has ties to various Muslim groups, including Hezbollah.

Ali al-Attar was born in Baghdad to Iranian parents. He was indicted by the U.S. government in 2012 for tax fraud that reportedly involved diverting a half-million dollars from his medical offices into his personal account. Such actions appeared to be international in scope as it is suspected but not proven that he also diverted money to the accounts of others in the Middle East.

According to a source in contact with this writer, the potential damage to our national security is “incalculable.” This source is also questioning why an investigation of this magnitude has not been handed off to the FBI for investigation, rather than keeping it assigned to the Capitol Police. “That itself should raise a lot of flags,” stated this source who declined to be named for this report.

At this point, the weight of evidence strongly suggests that the United States House of Representatives computer systems, including and especially the documents and emails to and from top Representatives on the most sensitive committees including but not limited to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the Homeland Security Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee has been compromised from within.

Consider the above in the context of the raid in Yemen on January 29, 2017 when a U.S. Navy Seal was killed. Just four days later, the Awan brothers were banned from the premises of the U.S. Capitol. A coincidence? I think not. According to my DC source, it was not a coincidence.

More investigative results about the level of Muslim infiltration into the most sensitive areas of our nation’s infrastructure will be published in the coming days. They are working with the secular Progressive Socialists to bring down not merely President Donald Trump, but our nation.

It will shock even the most hardened among us. Stay tuned.

The House should not be investigating this, it’s a conflict of interest, since they would be the ones potentially compromised and blackmailed.

The maze of businesses owned, operated, and SHUT-DOWN by Awan operatives is strategically planned plausibly by Pakistani ISI which is their military intelligence.

They also owned a gas station in a remote location of Pennsylvania.

All of these businesses were planned for money laundering, illicit drug movements, for bringing in ‘proprietaries’ which are their foreign colleagues/agents/operatives.

The proprietaries were able to move around the United States without leaving any footprints, any traces, any signatures. The 12 homes owned by Awans are used to house the proprietaries, the car dealerships provides cars to proprietaries, the remote gas station refuels when traveling from Virginia to Illinois without leaving money/credit card traces, etc.

The businesses were strategically shut-down to obscure possible latent investigations, then new ones were started up.

This is a massive, constructed, planned Muslim Spy Ring that is strategically operated.

#7 Meanwhile members of congress are only concerned about Donald Trump and Russian connections even though there is zero evidence while also overlooking the Clintons and obama traitorous acts of which there is plenty of evidence.

It look like the democrats were in a sieve as far as leaks are concerned and they are the ones that created it.

If they can be blackmailed by their own data, they are either undesirables or criminals and should be dealt with as such.

PING!!!

Article and comments, esp #32 by Liz with photo:

The Muslim brothers (Imran here) seemed to be friendly w/ the Clintons.
It’s very odd to see a lowly Capitol Hill IT staffer get that close to a bigshot Clinton.

AND also see #36 by Hostage comment along with trailer about media controlled events.

AND ALSO #38 by Grandpa Dave with info on George Webb video

Thanks Liz, Hostage and Grandpa Dave

I wonder what Chaffetz and ILLary were chatting about, during their handshake, at Trump’s Inauguration.

“Judicial Watch and other government watchdog groups have charged that the Clinton Foundation was a pay-for-play operation that rewarded its benefactors with State Department favors.....and cash. “

And Judicial Watch has assigned 4 full time investigators on the Seth Rich probe.

Of course Ryan is all over this. Not.

Paul Ryan and all of the GOP "leadership" need to step aside. They are clearly not up to the job, if in fact they put any effort into it at all. They are clearly cowed by the Dems, so we need some badasses in there that won't cower and will in fact go after the criminal gang known as the Democrat Party.

Liz, it’s shocking to learn that we the people must provide our IRS id number and government reqd. 9-digit number to get a response from a Congressman, our employee. This has gone too far.

It has puzzled me for years that in the film “Wag the Dog” a blue dress with blue beret wearing girl meets the President in a rope line. The movie came out before the Lewinsky scandal evolved.
