The biggest scandal you've never heard of (Awan Brothers)
WND ^ | June 30 2017 | GARTH KANT

These are the key elements of the case that make its so extraordinary and so potentially troubling:

• The Awan group had access to all of their bosses’ emails, documents and confidential files: everything on the lawmakers’ office computers and other electronic devices.

• That gave the technicians illegal access to all secret and privileged congressional information, including any potentially sensitive material that could be compromising and/or politically embarrassing.

• Lawmakers have no way of knowing if anything on their electronic devices was copied.

• The technicians had no oversight, and there was virtually no tracking of what they did.

• That was an extraordinary violation of the House security rules.

• The Awans are suspected of setting up a secret server to store information.

• They were paid much more than those in similar positions.

The suspects were all banned from the House of Representatives computer network back in February when the investigation was announced. But, despite all the damning evidence that continues to accumulate, no one has been charged or arrested. It also appears that none of their passports has been confiscated.

The Awan group had access to all the lawmakers’ emails and confidential files on office computers because they had set up the user accounts.

It appears the investigators might have begun looking into the Awans when they discovered congressional information was being sent to an off-site server, leading to suspicions the brothers were accessing and stealing the material.

The Daily Caller spoke with a former House IT staffer who said there was virtually no in-house tracking of what the suspects did.

That’s because, the paper reported, “Awan bullied central IT to bend the rules for him so there wouldn’t be a paper trail about the unusually high permissions he was requesting.”

Exactly you hit it!
That's why so many here are intent on this not going away! These Pakis are the real deal.They are arch criminals who are game for murder on down to the smallest crime you can commit.
The whole gang needs to be under the jail.
I guess one of the worst parts is that Hillary and Wasserman hired these devils to work for Congressmen.

Congressmen knew what they were doing, whether Blackmailed or whatever they are just as much to blame as Hillary. If they all didn’t lie and deceive for gain we would not be here. Total corruption very deep and serious and dangerous.

That’s for sure and has to be one of the reasons why the drivebys won’t tuouch this story.It’s another pizzagate where everyone is going to jail or at the very least not getting reelected.
