It turns out that congressional staffers have been taking money from an Iraqi politician. These staffers just happen to be the ones who were fired for attempting to access sensitive information. Imran, Abid, and Jamal Awan took $100,000 Dr. Ali al-Attar, money that — according to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group — was “funneled through a company with ‘impossible’-to-decipher financial transactions that the congressional information technology (IT) staffers controlled.”
All three of the brothers are now under a criminal investigation. Imran Awan provided IT services for Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the disgraced Democrat who was forced to resign as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee after the disastrous e-mail hack that affected the 2016 presidential campaign. All three worked for multiple House Democrats, including Democrats who sat on intelligence, foreign affairs and homeland security committees, giving the brothers access to sensisitve documents and e-mails.
The signatories to the letter were Democrat Congressmen (a) Andre Carson, (b) Luis Guiterez, (c) Jim Himes, (d) Terri Sewell, (e) Jackie Speier, (f) Mike Quigley, (g) Eric Swalwell, and, (h) Patrick Murphy.
Some of the named Democrats had a history of attempting to undermine national security. Two Democrats have been linked to an emerging security breach.
The office of Andre Carson, the second Muslim in Congress, employed IT’er Imran Awan. As did the offices of Jackie Speier and Cong Debbie Wasserman Schultz (then DNC Chair).
The Democrats letter demanding intel access had been addressed to then-DNC Chair Cong Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Early reports say as many as 80 House Democrats used the Awans for IT services.
This number includes Democrats who sat on intelligence, foreign affairs and homeland security committees, giving the brothers access to sensitive documents and e-mails.
Is it still a scandal if the media doesn’t report it ?

Hey, my two Pugs, Boris and Natasha, are completely innocent! They were sitting here on my lap the whole time.
