But what most don’t know is how easy it is with a proper magnet.
THE STORY THUS FAR-—A congressional source confirmed that the FBI has joined the criminal probe by Capitol Police into “serious, potentially illegal, violations on House Democrats’ IT network.”
Imran Awan, three relatives, and two friends, had unlimited access to emails and files as tax-paid employees of more than two dozen House Democrats. Some of the Democrats serve on top intelligence committees that affects the safety and security of Americans.
Imran Awan’s younger brothers, Abid and Jamal, Imran’s wife, Hina Alvi, and Rao Abbas, Imran’s best friend, are also under criminal investigation. Additional evidence of financial schemes that may extend to Pakistan, where Imran, a tax-paid US govt employee, spends significant portions of the year.
The brothers’ are also accused of wiretapping and extorting a family member. Blackmailing of House members to keep them silent has also ben suggested.
Soon after Imran began working for Cong Wasserman Schultz in 2005, his two brothers and two of their wives — plus Rao Abbas and another friend — began appearing as tax-paid IT staffers on the payrolls of House Democrats. Collectively, the Awan group have collected $4 million tax dollars since 2009.
Other Hill IT staffers told investigative reporters that the Awan clan, while cashing astonishingly large US govt paychecks, were frequent no-shows-——often absent from weekly staff meetings and interoffice email exchanges.
One Hill staffer observed that some of the Democrat House members computers managed by the Awans were being used to transfer data to an off-site server.
