Here’s why Hillary Clinton losing her security clearance matters for the rest of us (Awan)

**SNIP**

Hillary Clinton should have lost her clearance back when the government found out she had classified information on her private servers. Actually, they should have done this even before that; she should have lost her security clearance when she left her public position, as secretary of state, for her private quest to get the nation’s top job.

What other employer allows former employees to access their networks? Companies commonly terminate employees email accounts and access before they even tell them they’ve been let go.

**SNIP**

For instance, the group of House IT aides who made up what amounted to a spy ring didn’t even have to undergo background checks to get their insider positions—jobs that allowed them to see and copy all of the emails and more from the members of Congress they worked for.

Evidence shows that Imran Awan, the head of the group who was an IT aide working for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat from Florida, was spying on congressmen and even congressional staffers. A current IT aide who wants his name kept out of print told me Awan even used his own email address as the Apple IDs when setting up staffer’s phones.

[Libloather]

By overlooking and explaining away how Hillary Clinton treated government data, including classified information, and then covering up what Imran Awan allegedly did for years in the House, the mainstream media has done a massive disservice to the state of our democracy.

I believe that's the plan.

Normally people lose their clearance when they leave their job that required it.

[vette6387]

Why are we not hearing more right now from Debbie Washerwoman-Shitz? Has the cat got her tongue? Or is she looking over her shoulder for the FBI?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Unless you’re deep state. Then a security clearance in perpetuity is your divine right.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Having a security clearance is not the same as actual access to intel.

[coloradan]

Every cleared person who received a classified email from a cleared person through an insecure system who didn’t report it should have been charged with willful failure to report a federal crime, for each count of email received that was not reported.

[Mark17]

How many Chinese and other agents were killed because that wench’s e mails were hacked?

[leaning conservative]

I am still stunned after I learned people keep security after their administration is out of office.

The Pakistani IT spying scandal was covered up b/c only House Democrats were stupid enough to employ spies.
Imran Awan, the IT clan of five's point man, was FLA Democrat Rep. Debbie W/Schultz' IT aide for her
Congressional office and the DNC (when she headed it). Awan was spying on congressmen and even staffers.
A current IT aide speaking anonymously said Awan used his own email address as the Apple IDs when setting up staffer’s phones.
“Imran could now see staffers' work,” said the aide, a contracted IT employee w/ more than a decade of experience on the Hill.

Odungo made sure she kept it...anything to destroy America.

AND THIS

During Sept 2016, The Awan clan continued to use then-Cong Xavier Becerra’s House Democratic Caucus computers in anomalous ways:
<><> logging on as “system administrators”
<><> changing identities
<><> logging onto Cong Becerra’s server using 17 different user account credentials
<><> some credentials belonged to Democrat House members
<><> the Awans did not work for 9 of the 17 offices to which user accounts belonged.
<><> investigations found “possible storage of sensitive House information” outside the House
<><> Dropbox is installed on two Democratic Caucus computers used by the suspects
<><> user accounts had thousands of files in their Dropbox folder on each computer
<><> Using Dropbox is against House rules because it uploads files offsite.
<><> Wash/Po reported “Based on the file names, some of the information is likely sensitive.”
<><> post-awan clean up discovered many computer set-ups were little more than “thin clients”
<><> computer set-ups were portals to an outside computer.
<><> Awans were using terminal servers from a computer in a different location.
<><>Virtual Private Networks can make a server’s hard drive appear to be local to a computer.
<><> remote sessions remained active for months at a time.
<><> data was always out of the members’ possession
<><> the Awans were using Becerra’s House Democratic Caucus as their central service warehouse.
<><> the Awans collectively logged onto Becerra’s Caucus system 5,735 times, avg 27 per day
<><> other offices were accessed less than 60 times.
<><> the pattern of login activity suggests steps were taken to conceal their activity
<><>aggregating multiple members’ data means all that data was absconded with
<><> L/E said Becerra’s entire Democratic Caucus server physically disappeared while being monitored by L/E.
<><> no scenario exists where the Awan clan’s access was appropriate
<><> House members are not allowed to accept services from people not on their payroll
<><> House employees are not permitted to log in to servers of members for whom they do not work.
<><> House policies are codified by law.

Some loathsome Rat talking head said that now that Hillary’s a private citizen and she has no clearance, the DOJ, etc., can’t go after her for anything. True? I dunno. If so, maybe that’s the scheme for her to skate and for the truth to be hidden forever.

[Rashputin]

This is the only bookmark of mine on the subject that isn't a "404" error now and it mentions "dozens". Hillary became SoS in 2009 and left that position in 2013. Keep those dates in mind when you read the article I link to above.

The other articles I read a couple of years ago mention "several hundred" and mentioned the Awans connections, among others, as the most probable source the Chinese relied on to help them tear down the US network in China.

The Chinese being very good pals with the Paks pretty much nails the Awans as the source in my book and the whole Clinton machine has always had plenty of income from the Chinese so that explains how the Awans got in position in the first place.

[Bonemaker]

“Or is she looking over her shoulder for the FBI?”

Not as long as Mueller is running DOJ.

[Liz]

The Awans had access to ALL the House Democrats Congressional data including Democrats' constituent emails.*

The Pakis were using Cong Xavier Becerra’s House Democratic Caucus as their central service warehouse.

Crucial data was completely out of the House members’ possession. Was it sold off to America's enemies?

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

Then-Cong Becerra headed the House Congressional Democrat Caucus. Becerra gave the Paki spies free reign over all US intel.

<><> Imran’s wife Hina Alvi, the only IT authorized to use Becerra's computer equipment, is on-record as logging on about 300 times.

<><> The rest of the Awan crew were accessing intel on Becerra's computer thousands of times using Becerra's passwords and codes.

This clearly shows the Pakis were operating as a cohesive, collusive undercover unit.

Becerra was looking the other way.

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

Becerra---now Cali's top lawman----refuses to answer questions about this. According to the House investigative report:

<><>The Awan family was logging in to Xavier Becerra’s House Democratic Caucus server with 17 different accounts

<><> The Awans' were accessing data belonging to Congressional offices that had no connection to the the Democrat Caucus,

<><> These patterns were consistent with data being funneled onto Becerra’s server from other members of Congress,

<><> House members said Becerra never alerted them to any aberrations.

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

*As of this date, not one Democrat Congressman employing the Awan clan has advised constituents that their confidential information was compromised by spies
.......or that the SS nos a constituent is compelled to give a Congressman may have been stolen...maybe sold abroad where US SS nos are considered very valuable.

[Liz]

Debbie Wasserman Schultz mentored the Awan clan, and now refuses to answer questions. The damage done to US ntl security is huge.

CONGRESS, PRESIDENT TRUMP, AG SESSIONS AND THE FBI NEED TO DETERMINE:

<><> She was then in power----heading the DNC, flying on AF One with her buddy Obama...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. Some reports say almost 80 Congressional Democrats employed the Paki IT's.

<><>Were Democrats' govt intel computers ever transported off-premises?

<><>Did the FBI and/or Secret Service accompany and supervise the transport of the Democrats' servers?

<><> Did the Awan clan have an active email account?

<><> Was there continuity of Democrat intel computer activity or did the intel computers ever go off-line?

<><> Who received Democrats' govt intel?

<><>Did the Awan clan get officially qualified by the DNC to handle national-security-level data?

<><> Did the Aan clan ever “upgrade, manage, and secure” the DNC server.

<><> What - specifically - did they do?

<><> Did the DNC vet the Aan clan for 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 Democrats' intel computers, and the administrative authorization to do so?

<><>When was that authorization given?

<><>Did the the Awan clan ever remove all intel data from Democrats' computers?

<><> Was malware or antivirus also on the servers?

<><> 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 Awan maintain the DNC intel computer? Here and in Pakistan?

<><> 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 clan just prior to being outed for security breaches?

<><> Were normal and regular backup procedures executed on the servers?

<><> 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?

<><> Did the DNC list foreign nationals by name and country who currently have access to US intel and are using govt computers.

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.

The Imran Awan coverup is a national disgrace. We can all see what we know he did warrants a lengthy sentence.

[Mr. K]

I believe hilLIARy is not in jail yet because she has too much over too many people.

[Liz]

.....articles mention the Awan connections, and others, as a most probable source the Chinese relied on to tear down the US network in China.
The Chinese/Pak palsies pretty much nails the Awans as the source in my book.......
the Clinton greed machine has always had plenty of income from the Chinese....explains how the Awans got in position in the first place.

Plausible......very plausible. Plus Imran's lawyer was a Clinton lawyer.......who got him off scot-free.
