Brothers Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan were barred from computer networks at the House of Representatives Thursday, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

Three members of the intelligence panel and five members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs were among the dozens of members who employed the suspects on a shared basis. The two committees deal with many of the nation’s most sensitive issues and documents, including those related to the war on terrorism.

Also among those whose computer systems may have been compromised is Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Florida Democrat who was previously the target of a disastrous email hack when she served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 campaign.

In an ironic twist, it appears it may not have been ‘The Russians’ that hacked America's political system last year. As The Daily Caller reports, three brothers (Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan) who managed office IT for members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and other lawmakers were abruptly relieved of their duties on suspicion that they accessed congressional computer networks without permission.

That should be President Trump’s strategy the next time some Fake News Talking Head or demonicRAT (but I repeat myself) badger him about Russia hacking the election. Turn it around tell them he is more interested in getting to the bottom of how the DNC allowed Pakistani IT guys hack into the Pentagon’s system.

This will never be proved, but I suspect the three brothers had their exit from the US smoothed by some of their Democrat clients.

Daily Caller has really been bringing this into the light. George Webb reported today that Maria Bartiromo asked Jason Chaffetz about the Awan investigation, and while of course he gave some lame excuse at least this tells us that the honest media figures are paying attention.

Remember Congress Critter Robert Wexler from Florida? He brought the Awan brothers into the arena. He was as slimey as Debbie Shultz. The Awans are tied to Weiner and Hillary. Oh what a tangled web. It goes deep like every other Clinton scandal. Hopefully someone will be able to untangle it but it’s all through the DNC. The DNC lawsuit, taking place in Shultz’s district, if it is allowed to go to discovery, will go a long way to putting some light on the corruption.
