This Iraqi, it appears, is a first-generation Iraqi with a family from Iran and Hezbollah ties who had been promoted by the neocon Wolfowitz:
“Dr. Ali A. Al-Attar fled the United States after the indictment to avoid arrest and imprisonment. Late in 2012 he was observed in Beirut, Lebanon conversing with a Hezbollah official. It turns out that al-Attar is only a first generation Iraqi. He was born in Baghdad, but his parents were both from Iran.
It would be possible to merely observe that it was just another day in the hubristic lives of power brokers inside the Beltway if Wolfowitzs meetings had not contributed to a war that broke the back of the United States. Wolfowitz was rewarded by George W. Bush for his dismantlement of Iraq with the position of President of the World Bank. His poor judgment quickly came to the fore yet again when he was forced to resign that post over an inappropriate relationship with a female employee. He now holds a senior position at the neocon American Enterprise Institute.
Given his less than glorious track record vis-à-vis Iraq, one might reasonably ask Paul Wolfowitz how he discovered Dr. al-Attar. It would also be interesting to learn about the extent to which Wolfowitz checked out the backgrounds of the people he was talking to in his haste to overthrow Saddam. One might also ponder why the United States spends tens of billions of dollars on intelligence gathering if it is still necessary to assemble ad hoc and secretive groups of foreign-born residents of questionable loyalties to determine what is going on overseas. Given al-Attars national origin and his friends in Lebanon, it might also be intriguing to speculate whether the upper levels of the Bush administration were the gullible victims of a conspiracy orchestrated by Tehran to entice the United States into destroying the one Arab state that truly threatened the regional dominance of the Islamic Republic of Iran. That would be quite a story.”

It will be fun to hear what the President does with this.
You best my post by a minute!
Seemed like an important story though.
Destroys the Russian narrative.
Are the Awans and Alvi in custody?
“Rogue congressional staffers” = 4 jihadis (3 guys and 1 wife).
Does anyone know where these spies are right now?
Biggest bill is a 25,000 dinar. That is worth $20.
So that was roughly 5000 bills of funny money.
They took money from an enemy state. They provided government and military email and documents for this money. Thus, they are spies and need to be given a cigarette and a blind fold while they stand in front of a firing squad.
It's odd that a Capitol Hill staffer gets that close to a bigshot Clinton.
Perhaps the Muslim Brothers gave the Clintons data off the Democrats' Congressional computers?
Perhaps the Clintons had need for the data coming off the DNC computers?
PING!!!
Investigators found that congressional information was being copied to an off-site server and they suspect the brothers of improperly accessing information and stealing congressional property. Chiefs of staff for the employing Democrats were notified Feb. 2.

Article and comments, esp #3 and #14
Thanks, Helicondelta
I doubt if it was secret. Knowing how Democrats operate, you can rest well assured that they got their cut.

Is the attorney general looking into this?
