Three brothers who managed office IT for government officials were relieved of their duties last week on suspicion that they accessed specific computer networks without permission, also known as hacking.
Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan were barred from computer networks at the House of Representatives Thursday.
They accessed computers unauthorized. They were getting foreign information. The three brothers were making $161,000, $165,000, and $160,000.
One of the brothers has a criminal background.
Now this…
The three brothers funneled House data to an external server.
The Daily Caller reported:
Chiefs of staff for dozens of Democratic lawmakers who employed the four were informed last week that a criminal probe was underway into their use of congressional information technology systems, including the existence of an external server to which House data was being funneled, and into the theft of and overbilling for computer equipment.
Brothers Imran, Abid, and Jamal Awan and Hina Alvi, Imran’s wife, each made $160,000 a year as information technology workers for the House. Their salaries and time were shared among dozens of Democratic members, including former Democratic National Committee Chairman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida. The lawmakers also include members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Despite the generous salaries, the four were involved in multiple suspicious mortgage transfers and a debt-evading bankruptcy. Abid had more than $1 million in debts following a failed business called Cars International that he ran in Falls Church, Va., from November 2009 to September 2010. Business associates said in court documents that Abid had stolen money and vehicles from them.

Good grief. This is a big and deep swamp that Trump is dealing with. Good to have Sessions on board.

Motel Gitmo would be a good place for these three goatf***ers till they cough up the names of ALL the recipients of their espionage.
Then hang the bastards.

If some non-US person then accessed that server, then
“...Funnelled to an external server...
= espionage.
‘...The lawmakers also include members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs....”

The punishment for spying on the house intelligence committee is losing one’s job?
it sounds a lot like this is embarrassing, looks bad so they just tried to get them out of the spotlight.
if you were I had done this we’d go away for a hundred years or have to live in Russia.

Nobody is touching this story.
To: Enlightened1
Yes, indeed. Right now though, Mandiant needs to be hired and started on the forensic investigation... and that ‘external server’ to which they exfilled data needs to be found and confiscated asap.

We KNOW who hired these three hackers. But why did they cause Hillary to lose the election? Was that part of the wider plan?
Because we also know that hackers were involved in that as well.
And hackers are, well, hackers, man. They all belong to the same union.

Sounds to me like the “big bad Russians” who supposedly did all the hacking were actually maybe CAIR’s pals.
Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for the dems to have to acknowledge...
To: Enlightened1
Exactly. Who hired them? Who were their resume references? Who hid the criminal history to get them security passes? Who picked the congresscritters who they were working for?
