Aides Fear Suspects In Hill Breach Are Blackmailing Members With Their Own Data
dailycaller.com ^ | 05/21/2017

Congressional technology aides are baffled that data-theft allegations against four former House IT workers — who were banned from the congressional network — have largely been ignored, and they fear the integrity of sensitive high-level information.

Five Capitol Hill technology aides told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group that members of Congress have displayed an inexplicable and intense loyalty towards the suspects who police say victimized them. The baffled aides wonder if the suspects are blackmailing representatives based on the contents of their emails and files, to which they had full access.

“I don’t know what they have, but they have something on someone. It’s been months at this point” with no arrests, said Pat Sowers, who has managed IT for several House offices for 12 years. “Something is rotten in Denmark.”

A manager at a tech-services company that works with Democratic House offices said he approached congressional offices, offering their services at one-fourth the price of Awan and his Pakistani brothers, but the members declined. At the time, he couldn’t understand why his offers were rejected but now he suspects the Awans exerted some type of leverage over members.

“There’s no question about it: If I was accused of a tenth of what these guys are accused of, they’d take me out in handcuffs that same day, and I’d never work again,” he said.

Current FBI with the Acting Director is very Corrupt and in the pay of the Clintons....He is rumored to be focused on structuring the coming impeachment of President Trump....

George Webb is getting some action going on the Pakistani crooks.

Did I imagine this guy named Jeff Sessions? Is he under house arrest or something? Does the guy do anything?

Why are the Capitol Police investigating a crime with national security implications?

Where is the FBI?

The fix is in.

A laptop to which only Imran Awan has the password. And Lil Debbie, if she can remember it without asking him.

You really can’t blackmail a Democrat. All the infractions you listed are career enhancers for Democrats.

I remember the former president commenting about POkistan on a few occasions, just don’t recall if he spoke favorably or neutrally. However, is this not the place where Bin Laden was supposedly taken out? Has anyone in FBI done a background check/trail on these guys since the revelation of their crimes came about??

You ask if Sessions does anything. He says, “I recuse myself”, a lot.

If they’ve done something for which they can be blackmailed, we are better off rid of them anyway!

I bet Jason Chaffetz is one of the compromised reps. His sudden announcement of retirement after just being reelected, along with his reported absence from the House over the last 3 months, indicates something very abnormal is up with him.

Bingo.

The capitol police investigated Vince Foster's death, if I remember correctly. It's the group that gets deployed when you aren't interested in a factual and unbiased outcome.

Attorney General of the United States, Jeff Sessions, should resign. His self-imposed, not-well-thought-out and too-broad recusal action has silenced him and emasculated his work. The situation has been going on and on and on....and it's pitiful.

This is too vital a post to have one's hands tied behind his back on too many things.

President Trump will then have the opportunity to appoint a strong, unfettered, fearless conservative eagle to the position.

I don’t really think the DC Beltway boys and girls want 10 Million citizens to show up in DC with pitchforks and tar.

It could leave quite a mark.
