Congressional Computer Admins In Criminal Probe Owed Money To Hezbollah-Connected Fugitive
The Daily Caller ^ | February 21, 2017 | By Luke Rosiak

Congressional aides suspected of criminally misusing their access to House computer systems owed $100,000 to an Iraqi politician who is wanted by U.S. authorities and has been linked to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Middle Eastern terrorist outfit.

Imran Awan and four of his relatives were employed as information technology (IT) aides by dozens of House Democrats, including members of the intelligence, foreign affairs and homeland security committees. The aides’ administrator-level IT access was terminated earlier this month amid a criminal probe by U.S. Capitol Police of a suspected security breach, including an off-site server housing congressional data.

The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has reported that while working for Congress, the Pakistani brothers controlled a limited liability corporation called Cars International A (CIA), a car dealership with odd finances, which took–and was unable to repay–a $100,000 loan from Dr. Ali Al-Attar.

Philip Giraldi, a former CIA officer, wrote that Attar “was observed in Beirut, Lebanon conversing with a Hezbollah official” in 2012–shortly after the loan was made. Attar has also been accused of helping provoke the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq as a leader of Iraqi dissidents opposed to Saddam Hussein. . .

Cheerleading for Israel
Everyone’s doing it

Those of us who voted for Donald Trump in hopes that he would turn out to be the peace candidate are facing disappointment. He has increased the already bloated military budget by $54 billion and has appointed an outspokenly anti-Russian and anti-Iranian active duty general as his National Security Advisor. A retired general with pretty...

Sure enough, the quoted CIA guy Philip Giraldi’s group “Council for the National Interest” is apparently devoted to anti-Zionism and sweet on Russia, too.
And that pro-Palestinian group is involved with none other than James Abourezk...and have engaged in joint events with none other than the infamous Muslim Brotherhood front CAIR...and US Senator Fulbright’s wife...

Thanks for the ping. Giraldi was Vince Cannistraro’s business partner. He tried to blame the Nigercake forgeries on Michael Ledeen, and accused Douglas Feith of another Iraq-related forgery. Later he accused Israel of a couple plots related to Iran, one of which involved another alleged forgery. He was Ron Paul’s foreign policy advisor in 2008.
