House Democrat’s Office Approved $120k Write-off Linked To Awan Brothers

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.

Such blatant criminality! One can only pray that AG Sessions and President Trump really meant that the Rule of Law is again established. These criminals and traitors should hang.

It takes a foreign news org to continually expose the graft in this country! Why is FOX not on this stuff!? Oh wait, they are moving left.

[spokeshave]

The 120K. Brought 150 top of the line cell phones that were re-configured to bug and resend email, conversations and pdf back to the Awans....just my conjure.

Looks to me like Daily Caller is about the only original ongoing source for the Awan story. There’s a lot of blogger stuff out there that adds conjecture to the Daily Caller’s facts, so other sources should be viewed skeptically.

Dummy NY Democrat Cong Yvette Clarke figured nobody would ever find out about it......and no one would do the math to determine that her 16-man Congressional office would never have the need to buy 120,000 tax dollars worth of tech devices.

Clarke's 120,000 dollar "write-off" (that's just one member's office) is a huge clue as to the Democrats silence when their Paki IT was nabbed.

These thieving Democrats belong in jail......not in Congress.

Hey, that’s not fair and racist re Clarke.

Libs in Congress and their staff members cannot do any real math!

Scary!, However, you are probably correct.

I’m so dumb, I would have never figured that out.

Debbie's brother----heads US DA's office --- will try to hide the links to Hillery!

And there's plenty of links. This is a shocker at the youtube link dated Nov 2016 below:

<><>Anthony Weiner is on the board of directors for company that hired the Awans.

<><> Weiner filled out USAID forms (USAID is an agency of Hillary's State Dept--Huma's employer)

<><> The Awans came in via Democracy Alternatives Incorporated........www.DAI.com

<><>Anthony Weiner-DAI-Awans (CIA front Organization)

This is just another example of Congress screwing the American Taxpayer every chance they get.

In this case, each CongressThief has a IT budget. They have a staff of maybe 10-20 people total. In the old days, when PCs were $5-10k a piece, $120k a year was a reasonable budget.

Now, iPads, PCs and tablets cost less than $1k, but has Congress adjusted the IT budget down? Hell no, "We've already screwed the taxpayer out of this money, we're not giving it back."

I'll bet EVERY CongressThief, on both sides of the fake aisle, are doing the same thing with their IT budgets, and paying off a different set of crooks than the Awans.

The current mob in DC will never repeal ObamaCare, like the IT budget, they are skimming too much money off it to give it up.

the brothers are suspected to have orchestrated a long-running fraud scheme in which the office would purchase equipment in a way that avoided tracking by central House-wide administrators. They’re suspected of working with an employee of CDW Government Inc. — one of the Hill’s largest technology providers — to alter invoices in order to avoid tracking. The result would be that no one outside the office would notice if the equipment disappeared, and investigators think the goal of the scheme was to remove and sell the equipment outside of Congress.

Clarke’s chief of staff did not alert authorities to the huge sum of missing money when it was brought to the attention of the office around February of 2016. A request to sign away that much lost equipment would have been “way outside any realm of normalcy,” the official said, but the office did not bring it to the attention of authorities until months later when House administrators told the office they were reviewing finances connected to the Awans.

Democrat Rep. Yvette Clarke's chief of staff has some explaining to do.

DWS, now this.... The Democrats are accomplices

Democrat Rep. Yvette Clarke AND her chief of staff (who she directs) have some explaining to do.

Cong Clarke and her chief of staff did not alert authorities to the huge amt of missing equipment "written-off" to the tune of 120,000 tax dollars (also "missing") when it was brought to the attention of Yvette Clarke's office around Feb 2016.

A Congressman's written request to sign away that much "lost" electronic equipment would have been “way outside any realm of normalcy,” particularly since Clarke's small office employed only 16 aides. The 120,000 tax dollars would have bought about 150 devices.

Clarke's office failed to alert authorities until months later when House administrators told Clarke's office they were reviewing finances connected to the Awans.

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

Here's the sap-happy Dem blithely "aiding and abetting" the theft of US-govt issue equipment. "Oh, it's just a measly 120,000 tax dollars.....just write it off."

Cong Yvette Clarke describes herself as a "Caribbean-American."

Yoo hoo, Yvette, your orange jumpsuit is ready.

APRIL 2016 THE PAKI SCAM SURFACES---Alarm bells went off when House computer security officials reported “irregularities” in computer equipment purchasing......specifically, the theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars in US government property. The initial evidence pointed to (a) five Paki IT staffers, and, (b) Congressional Democrats that employed them.

The Paki scam quickly exploded into:

<><> (A) multiple charges of conspiracy against the United States of America,

<><>(B) double-billing Congress,

<><> (C) placing ghost employees on the govt payroll,

<><> (D) stealing govt issue electronics,

<><>(E) submitting falsified documents to the US govt,

<><> (F) multiple mortgage scams,

<><>(G) shady wire transfers to Pakistan, and,

<><>(H) fleecing the Congressional bank...resulting in Imran's July 2017 arrest on bank fraud charges.

[Liz]

Starting w/ Cong Yvette Clarke, all of the House Democrats IT accounts, official office and financial records need thorough examination, including: -— payroll, vouchers, expense accounts, office expenditures, travel itinerary, credit card accounts, family finances, campaign income and outgo, personal and office bank accounts, wire-transfers, snail mail, email, electronic devices, hard drives, etc etc etc.
