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.

These are the kinds of things that the Democrats are TERRIFIED are going to be made public since Her Highness wasn’t elected and can’t keep a lid on them.

Look for much, much worse as the new gang learns more about what the old gang was up to for eight years.

It’s mind-boggling that they can’t find US citizens who don’t have hyphenated loyalties to deal with sensitive information.

Are you kidding me?

Yep, and the former president was named Hussein. Real knee slapper, huh?

This is yet another self-induced diversity PC failure on the part of our government. They let three related people work together on classified systems. They probably got the job as diversity hires. There is also a failure to exercise due diligence on the part of every person involved.

I am well familiar with the issue in the civilian world. If somebody is a minority or a Muslim you don’t dare express any suspicion regardless of the provocation to be suspicious. You will end up being the one investigated for some PC related issue.

I was actually threatened by an HR manager who said, “If you aren’t careful you will be ‘sentenced’ to diversity training.” Yep, he said sentenced.

Signs of trouble have long been visible in public records. The Congressional Credit Union repossessed Abid’s car in 2009, and he declared bankruptcy in 2012, facing multiple lawsuits. Security-sensitive jobs typically require background checks for credit and legal problems that can create pressures to cash in on access to secret information and documents.......snip.................................... Jamal, who public records indicate is only 22 years old and first began working in the House when he was 20, was paid nearly $160,000 a year, or three times the average House IT staff salary, according to InsideGov, which tracks congressional salaries. Abid was paid $161,000 and Imran $165,000..................................................................http://congressional-staff.insidegov.com/l/43573/Jamal-M-Awan

Omar Awan, is a senior IT specialist for the House’s Chief Administrative Officer.

Abid, Imran and Jamal share a house in Lorton, Virginia, that is owned by Hina R. Alvi, a woman. Alvi is also a House IT employee who works for many of the same members as the three brothers, as well as the House Democratic Caucus.
