Memo confirms DNC server disappearance by Emma Ayers

Over 40 offices in the House of Representatives may have fallen victim to an “IT security violation,” according to a secret memo from top congressional law enforcement to the Committee on House Administration.

The memo, written in part by Paul Irving, the House’s sergeant at arms, detailed the disappearance of a server for the House Democratic Caucus following its marking as evidence in a cybersecurity probe. Imran Awan, email server administrator to former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and members of his family had logged into the server more than 7,000 times between 2015 and 2016 without proper authorization.

Since then, the memo alleges, the caucus server holding emails from lawmakers has been replaced by a lookalike, but the original is gone.

An official with ties to the Committee on House Administration told the Daily Caller News Foundation — which reviewed and transcribed the February 2017 memo — that the replacement of the caucus server was clear evidence of a breach.

“[The Awans] deliberately turned over a fake server to falsify evidence,” they said, noting that the data itself was “completely out of [members’] possession.” Irving said in the memo that the Pakistani Awan group was “an ongoing and serious risk to the House of Representatives, possibly threatening the integrity of our information systems and thereby members’ capacity to serve constituents.”

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, who has had a hand in the case for some time, called for action from intelligence officials on the matter.

“We need someone assigned to the Awan case that will protect Congress from further breaches and from the Awan crime family,” Gohmert said. “For heaven’s sake, we need someone in the FBI to step up and do their job.”

“For heaven’s sake, we need someone in the FBI to step up and do their job.”

Gohmert fails to understand that the FBI is on the side of the Awans.

[blackdog]

Goehmert is actually asking the FBI to do it's job by going after the FBI?

What an idiot......No wonder the FBI thinks they have become their own unelected co-equal branch of the government?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Imran Awan...and members of his family had logged into the server more than 7,000 times between 2015 and 2016 without proper authorization

Our government...protecting state secrets with the most sophisticated technologies, contractors, and training that money can buy.

Would any of the companies that FReepers work for have caught 7,000 unauthorized intrusions into your corporate systems?

“”””””Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, who has had a hand in the case for some time, called for action from intelligence officials on the matter.”””””””

Good luck with that. This is so openly corrupt that only the democrats could get away with it. Hiring Pakistanis to handle all the IT work and control the computers????? As an uneducated lazy pos retard deplorable white guy even I can see a problem here.

[Souled_Out]

The key element in all of these investigations are the IT scum. Arrest the IT management group, search their homes and family connections. Someone will sing like McCain in a jungle hammock. They are all dirty.

Paul Irving, the House’s sergeant at arms: "...possibly threatening the integrity of our information systems and thereby members’ capacity to serve constituents."

How could the theft of a Congressional mail server "threaten the integrity of information systems"? The "integrity" of the systems has been SMASHED, not just threatened!

And who gives a flying fig if the members cannot serve their constituents in this case? For crying out loud, this is major espionage and those servers were delivered to the ISI or other nefarious actors. Constituent interests are a minor consideration compared to the national security threat of this espionage.

Hard to believe that 80 years ago spies were stashing films of only 65 pages of documents in pumpkins. Now Congress can just hire the spies and let them walk out with servers with millions of pages of government documents and communications.

[gr8eman]

Well...as much as they’re trying to cover it up! If the truth that the ISI was gathering real-time intel on the internal workings of the government comes to light, it may be a bigger scandal than Crossfire Hurricane!

[bgill]

It didn’t just, poof!, disappear. Debbie needs to be questioned severely.

[outofsalt]

The Awan’s are the fall guys much like the Egyptian film maker who got blamed for Benghazi. DWS and the dems are the conspirators organizing the cover up.

[OneVike]

Gohmert said. ""“For heaven’s sake, we need someone in the FBI to step up and do their job.”""

(((Good luck with that Gohmert, the FBI is too busy covering up their own track so they can take down President Trump. It seems to me like they could care less about any crimes committed by Democrats during Obama's presidency.)))

[RckyRaCoCo]

...No wonder the FBI thinks they have become their own unelected co-equal branch of the government?

If you watched the hearing with Rottenstain, that was very evident.

The deep state is real. It's corrupt and evil and unfortunately...it's entrenched.

[blackdog]

Exactly.

Content on that and other servers and drives has nothing to do with the Awan bunch.

... 80 years ago spies were stashing intel documents in pumpkins. Now House Democrats simply Congress hire
the spies as IT's, pay them millions of our tax dollars, and look the other way as the Pakis compromise US intel, and
House Democrat constituent communications.....

AND THIS SHOCKER---IMRAN AWAN, US GOVT EMPLOYEE, WORKED HOUSE INTEL IN PAKISTAN---
and not one of his employers---all House Democrats--- reported the incident

Cong Louis Gohmert (Repub-Texas), a former judge, was shocked to learn that Imran Awan conducted the Congress of the United States' IT work in Pakistan, for months at a time, without supervision.

GOHMERT: “I did not realize that we (taxpayers) paid someone the maximum that any House employee could get paid........ and for months at a time, he was handling information technology for the House of Representatives from Pakistan. This is just mind-boggling. I had no idea anybody would even think about trying to do something like that,” Gohmert added.

Imran is a US govt employee. He cashes US govt paychecks. He's handling Congressional data----sensitive top secret data---he's in an active terrorist country for months at a time handling US intel without supervision. Yet his mentor and employer Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz did nothing. Congressional Democrats who employed Imran said nothing.

Taxpayers must demand answers:
<><> How did Awan get a sensitive job in the US Congress?
<><> Was he given preference over American job-seekers?
<><> Claiming to be a naturalized American citizen, did he falsify his credentials?
<><> did Democrat Debbie Wassermann Schultz sign-off on Imran's trips to Pakistan?
<><> did Democrat Schultz inform others that Imran conducted IT work for the House in Pakistan?
<><> did Democrats inform constituents their emails were being accessed in a terrorist-sponsored country?
<><> why did Debbie Wasserman Schultz keep Imran on as her "advisor" after his shady deals were exposed?

[headless_thompson_gunner]

Oy! Seriously, is anyone ever going to be held accountable?

(HAT TIP LUKE ROSIAK, DAILY CALLER'S ACE REPORTER)

EXCERPT----A tech equipment vendor inquiring about getting House business said it was clear that Imran was soliciting a cash bribe. “Imran said to the vendor,
‘There is this new Democrat House member from Florida named Graham. Let’s make a deal and I’ll get you into her office (as a supplier).”

“Imran showed me a letter and I said, ‘Look Imran, I can’t do that, it’s not legal.'” The letter, the vendor said Imran showed him, was a House member's commitment to award a tech contract. “And at 8 am the very next morning, he had another signed letter from a House member rescinding it and said ‘Let’s go with Lockheed instead,'” the vendor told TheDCNF.

“Imran has that much power,” the vendor continued. “How the hell did he have that much control over a Democrat House member that by 8 am the Democrat House member has done his exact bidding? If you were a new House member who just got elected you'd think they’d be like, ‘Well, why are we switching, you told me yesterday the other was better?'”

“I can’t articulate how loyal House Democrat members were to him,” the source alleged. “I’d say something like I’d do [tech services] for a quarter of the cost [what members were paying Imran] and Democrat House members would say no.” (Saving money for the taxpayers was not in the Democrat House members lexicon.)

========================================

The vendor provided a variety of other detailed information about Imran that TheDCNF independently corroborated.

<><> He told TheDCNF in February 2017 that Imran described in detail how the Democrat House member's aide falsified official US govt invoices — months before others publicly reported the scheme.

<><>The vendor said Imran told him he routinely misstated the value of Democrat House members' tech purchases so they were treated as petty cash and not tracked.

<><>House officials later confirmed Imran's MO.

ORGANIZED CRIME ON CAPITOL HILL....DEMOCRATS collude to rig House tech purchases

NY Democrat---Cong Yvette Clarke and friend.

Yvette Clarke describes herself as a "Queen of the Caribbean;"
She belongs to the Congressional Caribbean Caucus.
Clarke made friends quickly, what with her knowledge of offshore banking havens in the Caribbean.

HOW THE IT SCAM WAS RIGGED FOR PROFIT----Democrat NY Cong Yvette Clarke's office approved a $120,000 "write-off" of tax-paid tech Equipment Linked To the Awan clan (made the tax dollars and the equipment disappear).The missing govt-issue tax-paid devices included many iPhones and iPads. At $800 each, Cong Yvette Clarke's $120,000 write-off would force taxpayers to pay for 150 electronic items for her staff of 16......that's about 10 iPhones and iPads each.

Democrat Cong Yvette Clarke's tax-paid payroll records indicate she has 16 employees......why did Cong Clarke need so many electronics for that small staff? She was also oblivious to the fact that all that expensive govt-paid equipment she ordered was delivered to Imran's house.

According to ace reporting by the Daily Caller, Cong Clarke's office casually signed off on what appears to be a theft ring operating inside the Democrat Congressional Caucus then-headed by Cong Becerra.The facts suggest the Awan gang was running the oldest of scams......selling computer gear out the back door after first reporting it stolen to authorities. (hat tip The Daily Caller).

NOTE: Democrat Clarke is only one employer audited, so far. Patterns of theft in other Democrat offices have yet to be investigated.

===============================

EXCERPT....then-Democrat Cong Becerra never publicly acknowledged nor demanded consequences for the cyber breach on his House Democratic Caucus server (similar in nature to the DNC)......and eighteen months later, no one has been charged....not surprising since the elected Democrats don’t appear to be asking for it......

This is a huge red flag. This is organized crime on Capitol Hill.

Democrats have apparently taken the "Oath of Omerta."

The clan had admin access to servers and computers of some 40 democrats. They weren't working in the centralized IT department, so there was no one to oversee what they were doing. Plus the clan had the backing of DWS to deflect any inquiry into their IT practices and personal backgrounds.
