None of the six officially vetted IT firms that do work for congressional offices employed Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s (D-FL) now indicted IT aide, Imran Awan. This is odd, as congressional offices are given a pre-approved list of tech firms to work with for IT support.

U.S. Senate offices typically have a fulltime employee on staff that handles IT, but most of the 435 congressmen in the U.S. House of Representatives don’t require that much technical support. They typically hire IT professionals from an approved list of companies as they need them and often use them as “shared” employees with other congressional offices.

Wonder if the holdup on this investigation has anything to do with the release of the hostages today which took Pakistani cooperation?

“Same reason Hillary set up a private server. Something to hide.”

The RATs ALL have something to hide. Because if they really told their constituents what they are really interested in doing to our country, most of them would not be re-elected.

The Awans were hired *because* they were known to be in the employ of hostile foreign powers.

This, like Benghazi, was no mistake or accident. This has all been about facilitating the turnover of US intel to our enemy.

The Awans were hired during the Bush 2 Administration when Mueller was head of the FBI and Hastert Speaker. Coincidentally, they got on the Congressional payroll not long before the House established actual procedures for stricter background checks of employees.

Some Dare Call It Treason...

Not a surprise that the Dem Party leadership would employ members of nefarious groups in an effort to further undercut this nation in any way they can..
