On Friday evening, President Donald J. Trump inadvertently referred to the disgraced Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz as "Wendy." In hysteria, the media and blue-check marked liberals on Twitter erupted with laughter as the tweet sat there for twenty minutes. President Trump finally deleted that mistake and replaced it with a tweet featuring her proper name. So what was the tweet? Was it something sexist? Was it a new 2020 campaign slogan? Perhaps it was a new nickname? No, it was not any of that. It was President Trump pointing out that Debbie Wasserman Schultz's malfeasant computer practice has put national security at risk. In fact, it is not only Rep. Wasserman Schultz, but dozens of House Democrats who have been negligent in their care for national security and important government information by hiring personnel who have not been properly vetted and may have potentially stolen very important information.
Just heard the Campaign was sued by the Obstructionist Democrats. This can be good news in that we will now counter for the DNC Server that they refused to give to the FBI, the Debbie Wasserman Schultz Servers and Documents held by the Pakistani mystery man and Clinton Emails.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 20, 2018
If it seems like Rep. Wasserman Schultz has had zero media attention in recent memory, it is probably she has laid pretty low since resigning from serving as Chair of the Democratic National Committee. Did she resign because she served her time honorably and led the party to unprecedented heights? No, she resigned because she was caught favoring Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Democrat presidential primary. She made disparaging remarks against Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders in e-mails.
From Cortney in 2016:
"Former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned as chair of the DNC earlier this summer after hacked emails found her mocking Bernie Sanders and his campaign, proving she was anything but neutral during the Democratic primary. She faced pressure (and boos) from liberal progressive voters unhappy with the bias against Sanders, and the DNC seemed all to happy to usher her to the exit."
So, does what President Trump is referring to have anything to do that with? No, President Trump is more likely than not referring to the absolutely stellar investigative work by Daily Caller reporter Luke Rosiak. For the better half of the last year, Rosiak has exposed more than 50 stories of security risk and data breaches made by one man and his family.
Imran Awan, along side four other Pakistani nationals, have been accused of stealing equipment and data from House members offices as Democrat IT workers. Awan has been working for Wasserman Schultz in some capacity since 2005. He and his family were also hired by other Democrats. But more troubling is the fact that more than 40 of these House Democrats did not even give these workers the required background check. As Roziak told Fox News, parents give their baby sitters more of a vetting process than Democrats gave their IT personnel.
The IT folks handle their computers, passwords, servers replete with government information ranging from public to classified, and much more. Bad people can do a lot of damage with this information. And it looks like that is what happened here. All of this has a lot of suspicious twists and turns, but the evidence is pretty damming against the Awan clan. Awan's wife abruptly left the country in the middle of the investigation. Awan himself was arrested in the airport trying to flee the country. But, the case is truly bizarre all over.
"A criminal suspect in an investigation into a major security breach on the House of Representatives computer network has abruptly left the country and gone to Pakistan, where her family has significant assets and VIP-level protection, a relative and others told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.
Hina Alvi, her husband Imran Awan, and his brothers Abid and Jamal were highly paid shared IT administrators working for multiple House Democrats until their access to congressional IT systems was terminated Feb. 2 as a result of the investigation. Capitol Police confirmed the investigation is ongoing, but no arrests have been reported in the case.
The Awans are “accused of stealing equipment from members’ offices without their knowledge and committing serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network,” according to Politico. Many of the Democrats who employed the Awans are members of the House Committee on Homeland Security, the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. (A list of potentially compromised members is listed below.)
Their positions gave them access to members’ emails and confidential files. In addition, Imran was given the password for an iPad used by then-Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat. The five came to the U.S. from Pakistan."
Rosiak's investigative work continued throughout the year. In the beginning of 2018, the House concluded that these five Pakistani nationals indeed had unauthorized access to Democratic servers.
"House investigators concluded that Democratic IT aides made unauthorized access to congressional servers in 2016, allegedly accessing the data of members for whom they did not work, logging in as members of Congress themselves, and covering their tracks, according to a presentation summarizing the findings of a four-month internal probe.
Their behavior mirrored a “classic method for insiders to exfiltrate data from an organization,” and they continued even after orders to stop, the briefing materials allege. There are indications that numerous members’ data may have been secretly residing not on their designated servers, but instead aggregated onto one server, according to the briefing and other sources. Authorities said that the entire server was then physically stolen.
When acting on the findings, Democratic leadership appear to have misrepresented the issue to their own members as solely a matter of theft, a comparison of the investigators’ findings with Democrats’ recollections and a committee’s public statement shows, leading 44 Democrats to not conduct protective measures typically taken after a breach — including informing constituents whose personal information may have been exposed. (A list of the involved members is below.)"
As Rosiak notes, this was wholly inappropriate.
"There is no scenario where the access was appropriate because House members are not allowed to accept services from people not on their payroll and employees are not permitted to log in to servers of members for whom they do not work. The presentation notes that such House polices are codified in law."
Rosiak and the Daily Caller News Foundation team have been virtually the only investigative media outlet covering this story. The details of this story are very difficult to compile in one online article. But, after compiling dozens of articles and key areas of concerns, here at the top 15 things Rosiak says the public should know about the "Pakistani mystery man."
1. Imran worked for Debbie Wasserman Schultz since 2004 and had the passwords to her devices
2.During the 2016 election, the House’s Office of Inspector General warned that Imran and his family were making “unauthorized access” to data
3. The Awan group was left on the House computer network until February 2, 2017 — days after Donald Trump’s inauguration
4. Shortly after the IG report came out in September 2016, the Caucus server — identified as prime evidence in the cybersecurity case — physically disappeared
5. Wasserman Schultz declined to fire Imran despite knowing he was suspected of cyber-security violations, even though she had just lost her job as DNC chair after its anemic handling of its data breach
6. After Imran was banned from the network, he left a laptop with the username RepDWS in a phone booth.
7. The FBI began surveiling the family but let Imran’s wife, Hina Alvi, leave the country
8. Prosecutors arrested Imran at the airport after he began liquidating assets
9. A former business partner of Imran’s father says the father handed over USBs of data to a Pakistani official and that Imran claimed he power to ‘change the US president’
10. Nearly Imran’s entire family was on the House payroll at high salaries, despite most of them having no training in IT — Democrats failed to vet them
11. House Dems Hired A Fired McDonald’s Worker As E-mail Administrator
12. Money from an Iraqi political figure
13. The cybersecurity investigation started after allegedly falsified invoices caught administrators’ attention, and the Awans’ lawyers blamed members.
14. The Awans’ relatives, colleagues and tenants say they would ‘do anything for money’
So, while the rest of the media is yukking it up because President Trump called Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Rosiak and his team of relentless truth pursuers have been actually, you know, doing their jobs. With such a weird and troubling case, why are liberals spending their time making fun of Trump? Where are their questions for these House Democrats?
"Who the heck is Wendy Wasserman Schultz?" That does not matter. Americans should be asking, "Who the heck is Imran Awan?"
Here's a segment featuring Luke Roziak on Fox News explaining the entire situation in more detail.
House leadership cover up in the IT worker scandal?
I took (and take) the name error as reflecting how insignificant Blabbermouth-Schulz herself actually is to President Trump.
Wasserman looks like a Cocker Spaniel.
“No no. It’s Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz.”
Actually The Donald (Reddit) simply calls her NOODLES.
TIMELINE-—APRIL 2016 THE PAKI SCAM SURFACES-—Alarm bells went off when House computer security officials reported “irregularities” in computer equipment purchasing......specifically, the theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars in US government property.
The initial evidence pointed to (a) five Paki IT staffers, and, (b) Congressional Democrats that employed them.
The Paki scam quickly exploded into:
<><> (A) multiple charges of conspiracy against the United States of America,
<><>(B) double-billing Congress,
<><> (C) placing ghost employees on the govt payroll,
<><> (D) stealing govt issue electronics,
<><>(E) submitting falsified documents to the US govt,
<><> (F) multiple mortgage scams,
<><>(G) shady wire transfers to Pakistan, and,
<><>(H) fleecing the Congressional bank...resulting in Imran’s July 2017 arrest on bank fraud charges.
Where was Paul Ryan through all of this?
How could he justify allowing them to be on and remain on the House network?
Could this relate to his stepping down?
(A) Clarke did not alert authorities to the huge amt of missing tech equipment that she had "written-off" to the tune of $120,000 tax dollars around Feb 2016.
(B) Clarke failed to mention the $120,000 worth of govt-issue tech equipment she ordered got delivered to Imran's home........not to her office.
(C) A Congressman's written request to House admin to sign away that much "lost" electronic equipment would have been “way outside any realm of normalcy,” particularly since Clarke's small office employed only 16 aides. The $120,000 tax dollars would have bought about 150 devices.
(D) Clarke's office failed to alert authorities until months later when House administrators told Clarke's office they were reviewing finances connected to the Awans.
==============================================
Here's the sap-happy Dem blithely "aiding and abetting" the theft of US-govt issue equipment.
"Oh, it's just a measly 120,000 tax dollars.....just write it off."
Cong Yvette Clarke describes herself as a "Caribbean-American."
Yvette can brief her fellow Congresssmen about all those offshore banks in the Caribbean.
Wasserman Schultz’s refusal to answer questions could “merit a request for her resignation”.
Taxpayers say that’s not nearly enough for all the damage she’s done undermining our safety and security.
CONGRESS, PRESIDENT TRUMP, AG SESSIONS AND THE FBI NEED TO DETERMINE:
<><> D/W/S was then in power——heading the DNC...we demand to know the extent of DNC assistance to (A) the three House members of the House intelligence panel, and, (B) the five House members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs who were among the dozens of elected members the suspects IT’ed for on a shared basis.
<><>Were govt intel computers ever transported off-premises?
<><>Did the FBI and/or Secret Service accompany and supervise the transport of the server?
<><> Did the three brothers have an active email account?
<><> Was there continuity of intel computer activity or did the intel computers ever go off-line?
<><> Who received govt intel?
<><>Did the three brothers get officially qualified by the DNC to handle national-security-level data?
<><> Did the three brothers ever “upgrade, manage, and secure” the DNC server.
<><> What - specifically - did they do?
<><> Did the DNC vet the three brothers security clearance to handle this type of intel?
<><> What were the DNC firewall protocols in place at the time?
<><>Who, by name, had access to intel computers, and the administrative authorization to do so?
<><>When was that authorization given?
<><>Did the three brothers ever remove all data from the intel computers?
<><> Was malware or antivirus also on the server?
<><> Was the inherent firewall, virus protection, or operating system “upgraded, managed, and secured” by the brothers?
<><> Did the DNC report any incidents such as DOS attack, hacking, etc. How were they resolved?
<><> Did the three brothers maintain the DNC intel computer?
<><> Does the DNC know if the House Permanent Intelligence Committee computers in functioning condition at this time?
<><> Does the DNC have the work schedule of the brothers just prior to being outed for security breaches?
<><> Were normal and regular backup procedures executed on the server?
<><> Where are the back-ups kept?
<><> If no backups were taken, does the DNC have a disaster recovery location? Where is that?
<><> Did the DNC have a backup plan if the House Permanent Intelligence Committee plan intel equipment failed or was found to have been compromised?
<><> Does the DNC list other foreign nationals (from countries President Obama identified as terrorist countries) employed on Capitol Hill?
<><> The DNC must list foreign nationals by name and country who currently have access to US intel and are using govt computers.
Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414
FBI TIP PAGE-—https://tips.fbi.gov
CONTACT CONGRESS: Capitol Switchboard 1-866-220-0044
THE STANDOUT FACTS:
<><> The Awan clan had access to sensitive US intel from House Democrats’ Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees..
<><> The clan did not work for companies currently vetted to do such work.
<><> They DID NOT HAVE.....and could not possibly have qualified for.....security clearances.
<><> SHOCKER: Rosiak reported that Imran “was doing IT work on Democrats computers while living in Pakistan 3-4 months at a time.”
NOTE Half of the Republican Congress has officially signed on to the US labeling Pakistan a terrorist country.
67 posts and nobody mentioned Wendy’s finger gun? LOCK HER UP. That’s brandishing.
Who’s peeking out from under a stairway
Calling a name that’s lighter than air?
Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow?
Everyone knows it’s WENDY
Who’s tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees?
Who’s reaching out to capture a moment?
Everyone knows it’s WENDY
And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And WENDY has wings to fly
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)
Oops, missed a WENDY. Trying again.

For later replay
Photo’s of D.W.S. and Hillary Clinton are enough to scare the hell out of children.
The guy says Trump called her Wendy in order to get media flocking to how dumb Trump is, meanwhile highlighting the underlying story of the server. Trump wants to force out the server; have it seized (finally). Capische?
I almost feel bad for her. Gotta be tough knowing that if you go into a walmart, you’ll most likely be the ugliest person in the store.
She was a democratic shill that visited all 57 states!!!
By her complexion, she must be in ‘ Hamilton ‘
Q says her time is almost up...
She needs to hang...in public and televised live on national TV. With the Muslim usurper to follow soon.
