IT staffers may have compromised sensitive data to foreign intelligence
New York Post ^ | august 19, 2017 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 08/19/2017 8:02:32 PM PDT by bitt

Federal authorities are investigating whether sensitive data was stolen from congressional offices by several Pakistani-American tech staffers and sold to Pakistani or Russian intelligence, knowledgeable sources say.

What started out 16 months ago as a scandal involving the alleged theft of computer equipment from Congress has turned into a national-security investigation involving FBI surveillance of the suspects.

At least since Billy Clinton sold our sub secrets to the Chinese when he was running for his second term.

I didn't know about that. I only knew about his assisting China with missile technology and giving North Korea the means and green light to go forth with nuclear weapons technology.

Truly, the Clintons are traitors.

It was a huge red flag that Bill Clinton as a student had spent several weeks in the USSR, a period in which we know little about his activities. But the MSM never covered that--instead they chose to lionize him. Had they been honest in their reporting, I doubt he would have been elected.

“May have compromised”??? Today’s NSS (No Sh** Sherlock) Award goes to these investigators. It will be presented later this afternoon by Captain Obvious.

That is why hyphenated race names should never be employed in critical places. Same reason that only natural born people should be allowed to be President. It is all about loyalty.

“Wasserman-Schultz’s brother, who is overseeing the FBI investigation” [on the Awan brothers.]

“Steven Wasserman, Assistant Attorney for the District of Columbia who is the brother of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, has been tasked with overseeing the investigation of DNC IT employee Imran Awan.”

Don't worry.  Jeffy is On The Job...

Dishonest blogger speculation. He works in the same jurisdiction as the crime. There is no indication he’s involved at all. US Attorney’s Office for DC has a lot of stuff going on.

Of course anytime the machine is threatened with exposure sh*t blows up somewhere else. It’s a stale Clinton tactic that works.

Didn’t Comey allow the wife to flee the country? Why?

He was probably worried that she might talk.

Wasserman Schultz denies the DNC turned down the FBI’s assistance or that her congressional or DNC e-mails were compromised by Awan.

Actually, it is worse than that. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: FBI, DHS never contacted me about DNC hack

"At no point during my tenure at the DNC did anyone from the FBI or any other government agency contact or communicate with me about Russian intrusion on the DNC network. It is astounding to me that the chair of an organization like the DNC was never contacted by the FBI or any other agency concerned about these intrusions," Wasserman Schultz said in a statement. "As a member of Congress, I had the unique clearance to hear any classified briefing that would be involved in such an intrusion, and the FBI clearly should have come to me with that information. They did not."

I think Comey is as corrupt as the Clintons. The guy really needs to be investigated but it will never happen.

“Bill Clinton as a student had spent several weeks in the USSR,”

Yes, Billy was also a Rhodes Scholar studying in England. Then he raped a student and was forced to leave.

AFAIK, it started in 1993 on a small scale with President Bill Clinton protecting from federal prosecution the importation by Chinese of x-Soviet firearms for trans-shipment to Mexican buyers. I recall the name of one of the bundlers being in the papers at the time. This was for Clinton's personal gain initially, but it grew rapidly from there. He quickly put the whole government up for sale, i.e., Congress could do it too, and THAT green-lighting of rampant federal corruption was his real protection for sale of national security interests to the Chinese.

He got away with the gun-running and lesser stuff initially because he successfully blackmailed the national security establishment over something really awful they had done during the Carter administration.

“Maybe the violence in Charlottesville (and elsewhere) from the Antifa, BLM, and UtR was instigated in order to draw attention away from this scandal.”

Actually it's layer on layer of “Look at the shiny object” by the MSM. They have been in full assault mode since the election in November. The American public must not look a the evidence that Obama and Clinton used the FBI, CIA, IRS, and many other organizations for political ends in an effort to establish a Socialist Dictatorship.

The MSM always averts its eyes away from anything that is not in line with their ultimate goal.

The public mustn't look at Clinton, Obama, nor the backgrounds of the people selected to enforce the law. The public must not see that the men behind the screen that pull the strings of the BLM, OWS, Neo-Nazis, and other groups are intent upon leading the American people into indebtedness, ignorance, and ultimately slavery, and away from the freedoms and form of government set up by our Founding Fathers.

Some dude named George Webb on Youtube has been on this story for a long time now. The rabbit hole goes deep with this one and you may wonder why the fake news media isn’t reporting it.

...and were well paid for it.

Did they split the proceeds with Deborah Wasserman-Shultz, or just play her for a fool?

The article doesn't say he is responsible for the investigation. It says that he is in the department that handles such investigations. He could be assigned to it.

I doubt he will. I also think the investigation needs to be moved to a different department to avoid any cross contamination from his office being next door to a person who is handling it. Even moved out of DC and to NY or some place that could do the work and not be compromized.
