Circa Sept 2016, the Paki spy operation was full-blown, using then Cong Xavier Becerra’s House Democratic Caucus computers in anomalous ways:
<><> logging on as “system administrators”
<><> changing identities
<><> logging onto Cong Becerra’s server using 17 different user account credentials
<><> some credentials belonged to Democrat House members
<><> the Awans did not work for 9 of the 17 offices to which user accounts belonged.
<><> investigations found “possible storage of sensitive House information” outside the House
<><> Dropbox is installed on two Democratic Caucus computers used by the suspects
<><> user accounts had thousands of files in their Dropbox folder on each computer
<><> Using Dropbox is against House rules because it uploads files offsite.
<><> Wash/Po reported “Based on the file names, some of the information is likely sensitive.”
<><> post-awan clean up discovered many computer set-ups were little more than “thin clients”
<><> computer set-ups were portals to an outside computer.
<><> Awans were using terminal servers from a computer in a different location.
<><>Virtual Private Networks can make a server’s hard drive appear to be local to a computer.
<><> remote sessions remained active for months at a time.
<><> data was always out of the members’ possession
<><> the Awans were using Becerra’s House Democratic Caucus as their central service warehouse.
<><> the Awans collectively logged onto Becerra’s Caucus system 5,735 times, avg 27 per day
<><> other offices were accessed less than 60 times.
<><> the pattern of login activity suggests steps were taken to conceal their activity
<><>aggregating multiple members’ data means all that data was absconded with
<><> L/E said Becerra’s entire Democratic Caucus server physically disappeared while being monitored by L/E.
<><> no scenario exists where the Awan clan’s access was appropriate
<><> House members are not allowed to accept services from people not on their payroll
<><> House employees are not permitted to log in to servers of members for whom they do not work.
<><> House policies are codified by law. (hat tip Luke Rosiak)
The Deep State didn’t “risk” national security, they flat out compromised and, for all intents and purposes, destroyed national security.
When Becerra left Congress to take the Cali AG job, Becerra made sure his DC staff came with him.....
(to keep an eye on them in case they got the urge "to talk" about the Paki spy operation in the Democrat Caucus).
Becerra's tax-paid staff were kept under his watchful eye.....with bonuses....
just as long as they promised never to go near the DC cocktail circuit. Read on:
As Cali AG, Becerra Issued a Press Release 05-May-2017 listing his old familiar staff, assuring everyone they were accompanying him to his new job:
THE CALI AG OFFICE LINEUP: Xavier Becerra, California Attorney General Sean McCluskie, Chief Deputy Attorney General (was Cong's Becerra's COS) Amanda Renteria, Chief of the Division of Operations Laura Stuber, Senior Special Assistant Attorney General Eleanor Blume, Special Assistant Attorney General Jonathan “Jon” Blazer, Special Assistant Attorney General Melanie Fontes Rainer, Special Assistant Attorney General Kelli Evans, Special Assistant Attorney General David Zonana, Special Assistant Attorney General Alejandro Pérez, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, Office of Federal Affairs Sirat Attapit, Director, Office of Legislative Affairs Bethany Lesser, Communications Director Chris Moyer, Deputy Communications Director Patricia Moscoso, Executive Speechwriter Liz Saldivar, Director of External Affairs

HERE'S A JOB FOR ROSIAK
<><>How many US govt paychecks were the Becerra staff people cashing in the DC Swamp....
<><> Are the staff named above still on US govt payrolls in DC?
(That's an old political trick pols like Becerra love---keeping selected staff on the payroll after they get jobs elsewhere.
They are cashing US govt paychecks long after taxpayers think they've gone.)
