Imran Awan case: Lawmaker calls 'massive' data transfers from Wasserman Schultz aide..

A Republican lawmaker on Tuesday described the “massive” data transfers on government servers by a former IT aide to Democratic Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz as “a substantial security threat.”

“These facts, standing alone, indicate a substantial security threat,” Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Scott Perry said of the Imran Awan case during an informal hearing of Republican House members on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.

Awan pleaded not guilty in September to multiple federal charges including bank fraud and conspiracy. A grand jury had returned an indictment in August in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia charging Imran Awan and his wife, Hina Alvi, with a total of four charges.

Perry, a member of the Homeland Security subcommittee on cyber security, said Tuesday that the House Office of Inspector General tracked the network usage of Awan and his associates on House servers and found that a “massive” amount of data was flowing from the networks.

Awan and other IT aides for House Democrats had been on investigators’ radar for months over concerns of possible double-billing, alleged equipment theft and access to sensitive computer systems. Most lawmakers fired Awan in February, but Wasserman Schultz had kept him on until his arrest in July.

These criminals were part of Hillary’s team.
Debbie Wasserman was up Clintons ass and these slugs worked for them
Nothing will happen here,
The federal gub mint has been protecting the Clintons for decades.
Probably because of Bill allowing the CIA to import drugs to Medina when he was governor.

If conservatives (notice I didn’t say Republicans) play their cards right they will be able to take out a large amount of Leftist Democrat politicians in time for the elections running on the platform of espionage and treason. Not sure they would have to prove it, just run on it al la Alinsky.

This should have been charged immediately. No reason to delay. The prosecution would kick this clown out of the AG’s Office in Ca. No one seems to be interested in looking into this case in depth.
