Three brothers who managed office information technology for members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and other lawmakers were abruptly relieved of their duties on suspicion that they accessed congressional computer networks without permission.

Brothers Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan were barred from computer networks at the House of Representatives Thursday, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

Three members of the intelligence panel and five members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs were among the dozens of members who employed the suspects on a shared basis.

Kind of adds a lot of support to Trump - both on who hacked the DNC and stopping Muslims countries from easy access to us.

The Muslim scum brothers must be big donors to the Clinton Foundation.
You don't get that close to a Clinton unless you give money.

..... "the Washington DC "cover your ass machine" would never, ever allow sunlight upon such a consequential intelligence compromise as the three Muslim scum brothers. They would never allow, nor even launch, an investigation in that regard........

Course not, launching an investigation might (gasp) besmirch their hallowed concerns about safeguarding the safety and security of we, the people (smirk).

I wonder if any of them were running their own server, à la Clinton.

I am guessing many do for constituent services, etc. If they had classified information on those systems, then they would run into the Hillary problem and a subsequent slap on the wrist.

President Trump needs to consider the three brothers falsified other govt documents to get high-paying jobs and access to US intel.

Falsifying Government Documents involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........

Types of documents commonly falsified may include:
◾Tax returns and income statements
◾Personal checks
◾Bank account records
◾Business record keeping books
◾Immigration documents (such as visas, passports, etc.)
◾Identification cards and birth certificates

Many different types of acts can be considered as falsifying a document, including:
◾Altering or misrepresenting factual information such as prices or monetary amounts
◾Stating false information when requested to provide truthful statements
◾Forging a signature
◾Using official letterheads without authorization
◾Concealing assets or property WRT obtaining federal/state grants))
◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document

A person can only be held criminally liable if they are deliberately acting with the intention of deceiving or defrauding another party.

Falsifying govt documents is a very serious offense and is generally classified as a felony. This means that a person charged with falsifying documents may be subject to the following legal penalties:
◾Having to pay a monetary fine
◾Incarceration in a prison facility

Depending on the gravity of the offense, as well as individual state laws, falsifying documents can result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years. Also, if government documents or authorities were involved, the legal penalties may be more severe. ..... legal penalties may increase with repeat offenses.

The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958.

Just to clarify: I am referring to Rep Andre Carson not BEN CARSON.who is mentioned in the article.

See post 18 where they specifically mention Rep Andre Carson. I got a nasty gram from someone here who thought I was referring to Ben Carson and saying Ben Carson was a Muslim. Ben Carson is not even a Rep so not sure how anyone could assume I meant him.

It may very well take a scenario like this to clean House (and Senate).
