Debbie was not the 'mastermind'.

"Imran Awan was first employed on Capitol Hill by former Rep. Robert Wexler in January 2004 as an “information technology director.” Awan has worked for at least 25 other House Democrats since that time as a shared employee providing technical support including to previous House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra, currently the California attorney general."
But DWS was in the deep do-do in this whole mess.
My theory is she was having an affair with this Awan guy and that's why she hung on to him for so long even after she should have cut ties with him.
The Deep State and the Ministry of Propaganda want to string this out for as long as possible.
I’m glad to see there is a “reason” for the delay. I thought they were just letting the statute of limitations run out.
Are we really supposed to believe that the same FBI and DOJ that are framing Trump are going to truly prosecute these guys and expose DWS and the Dem National Committee?
Maybe I did fall off the turnip truck, but it wasn’t last night.
Yuck... my mind did not go there... anything is possible..
Remember, it was John Podesta's good buddy Denny Hastert, that was the Speaker of the House when Wexler hired on the Paki spies in 2004. 2005 is when Obama was sworn into the Senate.
In 2007 mommy the red Pewloise took the Speaker's gavel... 4 years later Boehner took the Speaker's gavel, and after he stopped sobbing he declared he would NOT change Speaker Pewloise's rules. Obviously, lying Ryan too kept Pewloise's rules.
To date I have not seen what exactly those rules are. Now that lying Ryan has figured out that he is not going to become president, he is leaving the only work he has ever done .... fleece the tax payers. The House of Representatives needs a thorough 'house' cleaning of all these rules.
In 2009 when the foreigner Obama took the oath of office of president, one of his first acts was to keep his blackberry.
Who provided Obama his 'blackberry'? Were there others in the Senate, cough cough Hillry that too were provided with the same programmed blackberries?
But it amazes me that the democRATS got fleeced by these guys right under their noses and didn't stop it long ago.
The 'rats' never get fleeced, they find a multitude of ways to feather their own nests off the taxpayers. We do not know yet what they got in return for selling US intel. Campaign contributions are but one way to feather nests. It is very profitable for a person to have the power to tax.
They had access to all of the democRATS' congressional computers and I suspect were sending data and secrets from the congress directly to Pakistan.
They got fleeced by this IT enemy within.
The democrats knew what was going on... that is why they hired the Paki spies ... It was reported that Weiner had 650,000 emails on his laptop... did Weiner also have a blackberry?
I suspect that the Awans were telling the Democrats they were working for "hire us and you'll get rich." They were probably funneling Paki ISI money to the Dems somehow in exchange for the Pakis getting all the Congressional info on the servers they were "servicing." The "campaign contributions" to all the Dems who used these bastards need to be gone over with a fine-tooth forensic comb.
This is most likely an espionage scandal of major proportions. Yet, all the Deep State is telling us is "wire fraud."
What a crock. Here is the list of the 30 Dirty Dems...

Democrats in Congress Repeatedly Failed To Supervise IT Aides In Their Employ Officials Say
Daily Caller ^ | 4/16/2018 | luke rosiak / FR Posted on 4/18/2018 by bitt
Only one IT aide currently working directly for members of Congress has ever completed a background check, members’ data have been improperly mixed with other members’ data, and members provided almost no supervision, officials revealed Thursday in a House hearing spurred by “egregious” violations by former IT aide Imran Awan.
Members of Congress threw “$10 million” in additional funding to the [chief administrative officer (CAO)] in order to enhance their cyber-security program” in June 2017. The move followed repeated cyber-security threats against members of Congress, including the detection of what an IG report called “unauthorized access” by Awan. They also had the CAO and others propose how best to clamp down on vulnerabilities.
But the CAO revealed Thursday that members blocked the resulting proposal, which called for eliminating Awan’s job category, that of a floating IT aide accountable only to members. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

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.
A radical proposition: The public has a right to know the immigration status and history of foreign criminal suspects. Their entrance and employment sponsorship records should not be treated like classified government secrets -- especially if the public's tax dollars subsidized their salaries.
In March, I contacted the D.C. offices of House Congressional Democrats Joaquin Castro of Texas, Sander Levin of Michigan, Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Greg Meeks of New York and Ted Deutch of Florida. These public officials have at one time or another employed one of three Pakistani Muslim brothers or their family and friends caught up in a criminal theft and hacking probe of the House Democrats' information security systems. In all, IT worker Imran Awan and his family and friends hoovered up an estimated $4 million in government funds over a period of 13 years.
For months, the D.C. Capitol Police have probed allegations that the Awan ring stole equipment from more than 20 congressional offices and accessed the House IT system without members' knowledge. Investigative reporter Luke Rosiak at The Daily Caller News Foundation has done excellent work on the case -- most recently breaking the news of Imran Awan's arrest in late July at the airport for alleged bank fraud, mortgage scams and shady wire transfers of nearly $300,000.
Awan was headed to Pakistan to join his wife, Hina Alvi, and three children, who had hastily fled America in March after Alvi was fired by Rep. Meeks. This reeks.
My question to the House Democrats was simple: Were the Awans and their family and friends H-1B tech workers -- like so many of the 650,000 "temporary" foreign guest workers imported into America under that program over the past quarter-century and predominantly working in IT?
And if they're not H-1Bs, how exactly did Awan and company get here, when did they get here, and who brought them over here and why?
These are simple questions. Given that these foreign IT workers now under investigation were paid for with our tax dollars, Americans deserve to know their path to the public trough. This is especially true when so many members of Congress in both parties continue to clamor for expanding foreign guest-worker programs like H-1B and refuse to enact freezes on corrupted visa programs exploited by foreign tourists (B visas), students (F-1 visas) and workers (H visas) acting in bad faith.
Moreover, U.S. tech workers have grown increasingly vocal about being forced to train underqualified, shoddily vetted foreign replacements before getting pink-slipped -- and increasingly alarmed at their access to sensitive personal, financial and health data.
Awan first landed a job with former Democrat Rep. Robert Wexler as an "information technology director" in 2004 at the ripe age of 24 or 25. His younger brother, Jamal, is reportedly only 23 years old, yet has pulled in a salary of nearly $160,000 a year since 2014 (when he was 20!) as an information technology worker for Democrat Rep. Julia Brownley. That's 3.1 times greater than the median salary for a House IT worker, according to InsideGov.
Who sponsored these young foreign techies and chose them to do work in our nation's capital doing a job that countless young Americans are qualified to do? If not H-1B, did they arrive first as students on foreign visas (who are supposed to return home after their course of study), then game the system to work through the cheap-labor loopholes, such as the Optional Practical Training program? Or did they switch visa categories? Did they pull strings through their well-connected Democratic employers?
The communications official in Rep. Castro's office, which employed Imran's brother, Jamal, responded that she would "touch base with some colleagues" and keep me posted. No word since. The others didn't bother to answer at all, nor did they respond when I followed up last week.
As for defiant Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who only fired Awan after his arrest, it's apparently un-American to question how foreign criminal suspects got to America and stayed here. Schultz last week cited "racial and ethnic profiling concerns that I had" to deflect from her eyebrow-raising handling of the matter, which now involves smashed hard drives seized from Awan's home by the FBI.
The good news is that Sen. Charles Grassley asked DHS for all immigration summaries and detainers for Imran Awan, wife Hina Alvi, brothers Jamal and Abid Awan, and friends/associates Natalia Sova and Rao Abbas.
But it shouldn't take a Senate demand letter to penetrate the Dems' partisan protectionism. We paid the salaries of their suspect foreign IT minions.
They answer to us.
No deal.
