Three Muslim brothers who managed office IT for a number of Democratic legislators were fired this week for unauthorized access and distribution of confidential information. Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan had been hired at $160,000 annual salaries to provide IT services for dozens of Democrats including former Democratic National Committee Chairman Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz of Florida. You may recall, that Wasserman-Schultzs purloined emails played a role in embarrassing Hillary Clintons presidential campaign last year.
Despite one of the brothers having a criminal record, eight Democratic members of the House (Andre Carson, Luis Guiterez, Jim Himes, Terri Sewell, Jackie Speier, Mike Quigley, Eric Swalwell, and, Patrick Murphy) signed a letter requesting the brothers be given access to classified information. Some of this information was illicitly transmitted to an external server in violation of government security protocols.
In addition to their salaries, the brothers apparently supplemented their income by theft stemming from over-billing for computer equipment not delivered and services not performed. The trios high living also raised suspicions that classified information may have been traded for cash.
Rep. Carson (Indiana) argued that the firing of these three men should close the book on this issue. We are the victims in this matter. It was our files that were invaded and surreptitiously distributed. It was our confidence that was betrayed. I think the loss of their lucrative jobs is an appropriate and sufficient punishment. There is no need to invest any more time and effort probing into a situation that is no longer relevant.
In related news, Vincent Tolliver, a would-be contender for the currently vacant Chair of the Democratic National Committee, was disqualified by interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile. Tollivers offense: questioning whether rival contender Rep. Keith Ellison (Minn), who is Muslim, would be an appropriate leader. Specifically, Tolliver argued that Islamic doctrine justifying the execution of gays seems to contradict our message of tolerance and inclusion. Brazile justified her summary termination of Tollivers candidacy asserting that attempting to impugn a fellow Democrats religious beliefs is intolerance that cannot be tolerated.

Exactly why the FBI should be all over this!
Scatting close to the edge of reality...
I do not think the book on those three (or four) has been closed just yet...
They had to blame someone eslse (e.g. Russians) cuz they just couldn’t very well come out and say “Hillary lost because Muslims hacked our email to help Trump”!
No, they should be hung as spies or for treason.
And the Democrats and their media co-conspirators are howling about Gen. Flynn talking to the Russians the day before the Inauguration, clearly a diversionary tactic when the real story is this Spygate story about the stupid Democrats on the intelligence Committee hiring Muslim spies to keep their secrets for them. Unbelievable.
Congressman Andre Carson, the second Muslim in Congress demanded access to top
level US intel. Said he needed it for tinder in his fireplace (smirk).
Liberals acquiesced---didn't want the poor man to get cold.
