House Staffers In Security Probe Allegedly Kept Stepmom In ‘Captivity’ To Access Offshore Cash
The Daily Caller ^ | March 8, 2017 | By Luke Rosiak

Days before U.S. Capitol Police told House members that three Pakistani brothers who ran their computer networks may have stolen congressional data, their stepmother called Fairfax County, Virginia police to say the Democratic staffers were keeping her from her husband’s deathbed. A relative described her situation as being held in captivity for months while the brothers schemed to take their father’s life insurance and other assets.

The brothers — who as IT professionals for Congress could read House members’ emails — allegedly used wiretapping devices on their own stepmother and threatened to abduct loved ones in Pakistan if she didn’t give them access to money stowed away in that country.

On Feb. 2, House officials banned Imran, Abid and Jamal Awan from the House of Representatives network as part of a Capitol Police criminal investigation into House computer security. But longtime employers including Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Gregory Meeks have stood by them. Meeks, of New York, said although they had access to his data, he’d “seen no evidence that they were doing anything that was nefarious” like steal or hack, and were being unfairly picked on for being Muslim.

But a Fairfax police report obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group says that separately from that investigation, on Thursday, January 5 at 2 p.m., “Samani Galani called [police] after her stepchildren were denying her access to her husband of 8 years, Muhammad Shah, who is currently hospitalized,” and police responded to the Springfield home she shared with him. . .

Just more of the inviting into government subversives by the obama administration. And where are the intelligence agencies? Oh yeah, checking up on Trump.

Apparently not.
Not even being investigated and one is still working for Blabbermouth Schultz.

1,400 years of inbreeding will do that.

Now those are exactly the kind of people I believe Democrats would put in such privileged positions!

It’s perfectly sordid!

January 5 2017 was the same day as the meeting in the Obama white house about which Susan Rice wrote her last-minute inaugeration day memo. Comey, Sally Yates, Obama, Biden, and Susan Rice attended that meeting [and others?]
