House Democrat’s Office Approved $120k Write-off Linked To Awan Brothers
Daily Caller ^ | 08/20/2017 11:05 PM | Luke Rosiak Investigative Reporter

A chief of staff for Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke quietly agreed in early 2016 to sign away a $120,000 missing electronics problem on behalf of two former IT aides now suspected of stealing equipment from Congress, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

Clarke’s chief of staff at the time effectively dismissed the loss and prevented it from coming up in future audits by signing a form removing the missing equipment from a House-wide tracking system after one of the Awan brothers alerted the office the equipment was gone. The Pakistani-born brothers are now at the center of an FBI investigation over their IT work with dozens of Congressional offices.

You nailed the audacious bs of the IT thugs and their congressional bosses:

So, this guy reports that the item is missing, (which he or his kin stole), and asked that they take it off the audit?

Why didn’t they try to clawback that money.
Why did they hide it behind a write off?

Just give the Pakis a week to show pics of their dead bodies!

Hey, the real crime is what the dead slavers did 100 to 300 years ago.

“Maybe some Dems divided it up among themselves. Who knows.”

Maybe their highschool and college kids got some nice high end electronic gear for the new school year?

EXCERPT: The missing govt-issue equipment tied to NY Cong Yvette Clarke’s office supposedly included many iPhones and iPads, an official told TheDCNF.

At $800 each, Cong Clarke's $120,000 write-off would pay for 150 electronic items. Yet, Cong Clarke's office, according to payroll records, has only 16 employees......why did Clarke need so many electronics for that small staff?

The govt-issue equipment would have been billed under Clarke's former chief of staff, there 2010 to February 11, 2016 (when another person took over).

The request for the $120,000 write-off came around the time of that staffing change. Cong Clarke's office refused to tell TheDCNF which person signed the form, and why they did not fire Abid at that time, or why they did not alert authorities (not reporting knowledge of a crime IS a crime).

The Daily Caller reported that Cong Yvette Clarke’s chief routinely called a House help desk to inquire about the write-off process but did not ever convey the highly unusual scale of the dollar figure, the official said.

NOTE: The missing $120,000 covers only Cong Yvette Clarke’s office. Democrats employing the Pakis have not been audited for similar patterns.......as yet.

Silly me, I’ve always worked in what I consider more “normal” offices where one cannot “lose track” of a mouse or keyboard, etc. without having to account for it. “Losing” $120K of equipment would have been utterly unimaginable.

Now, now, to be fair here, who among us hasn’t gone to your boss with a list of $120K worth of missing IT equipment and asked to have it removed from inventory, because you “can’t find” it? It could happen to anybody, right? /S

Sour neigh sayers on the right aside, these muslim animals will NOT just go to prison for the Democrats. There are lots of sentencing packages that can be offered to both of them which will make them roll on Debbie and other Democrats. They have absolutely NO dog in this fight except getting out of America and out of going to prison. By accident they are facing 144 months (federal system sentences in months) and they can easily carve 136 months off that stretch.

Be patient ,...the truth will be revealed as things develop,...even though the head US DA for this investigation is Debbie's brother.

They will try to hide the links to Hillery!

The House administrators asked Clarke’s then-chief of staff, Wendy Anderson, whether she had noticed any anomalies, and at that time she alerted them to the $120,000 write-off, the official told TheDCNF.

Anderson took over for Shelley Davis as Clarke’s chief of staff in February, the same month one of the Awan brothers requested the massive write-off for the lost equipment. It’s not clear whether it was Davis or Anderson who signed off on the form, but Anderson knew it occurred since she notified House authorities of the write-off when they asked. LaDavia Drane replaced Anderson as Clarke’s chief of staff in January of 2017,
when Anderson left to work for Florida Rep. Val Demings.

all three of them...tits in a wringer...right this minute.

I’m 100% with you on your take, in every detail. That’s one helluva lot of computers at todays’ prices, even if $120K ain’t spit in the overall scheme of things. We *should* however, ponder that these Awans were involved with Cong IT for about a decade, thus this writeoff, being a budgetary item, is likely to have occurred in a single year. That could well mean the cost basis of the missing gear really 5x as large as stated. But again, the money amount is relatively trivial.

The idea, however, that the Awans were so utterly brazen that they could do this, right under the eyes of people supposedly paying some kind of attention; means that *IF* they were engaged in espionage (to whatever degree “passing information” is spying) the implications are incredible.

I think I also used the word “staggering” in a prior comment on this. Absolutely. To think this went on for nearly a decade.

Wonder how many Ipads/Iphones that 120 k bought for the staff, relatives, hookers and drug suppliers for that congressional office?

I think this may be all the computer stuff that was turned over by the Marines that rented Awan house.

EXCERPT----The AWAN'S are also suspected of orchestrating a second long-running fraud scheme that involved working with an employee of CDW Government Inc, one of the Hill’s largest technology providers.

DID THE PAKIS AND DEMOCRAT MEMBERS COLLUDE TO PULL OFF THIS SCAM?

The second Paki scam involved a plan to alter official invoices so that Democrat members could purchase tech items in a manner that avoided triggering tracking by central House-wide administrators.

The intended result would be that no one outside the Democrat member's office would notice if the equipment "disappeared."

Investigators suspect the goal of the scheme was to remove and sell the equipment outside of Congress.

Thanks:

“The intended result would be that no one outside the Democrat member’s office would notice if the equipment “disappeared.”

‘Investigators suspect the goal of the scheme was to remove and sell the equipment outside of Congress.’

The rats are criminals from the top ranks to their street thugs!
