Very interesting that the Capitol Police have confirmed this is under investigation but the major US media has practically ignored it. (http://dailycaller.com/2017/05/22/sources-democratic-aide-suspected-of-major-security-breach-under-government-protection-in-pakistan/)


A criminal suspect in an investigation into a major security breach on the House of Representatives computer network has abruptly left the country and gone to Pakistan, where her family has significant assets and VIP-level protection, a relative and others told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.

Hina Alvi, her husband Imran Awan, and his brothers Abid and Jamal were highly paid shared IT administrators working for multiple House Democrats until their access to congressional IT systems was terminated Feb. 2 as a result of the investigation. Capitol Police confirmed the investigation is ongoing, but no arrests have been reported in the case....

Actually there's been quite a lot of speculation that they have information they have used to blackmail or something many. The Daily Caller article brought it up again. DW Schultz seems to be in the middle of it:

This one just took an interesting turn. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has used her position to threaten the budget of the Capitol Police for holding a piece of evidence she claimed was hers and wanted immediately.

Oh, I hope they get this woman.


The congresswoman characterizes the evidence as “belonging” to her and argues that therefore it cannot be seized unless Capitol Police tell her that she personally, as opposed to her staffer, is a target of the investigation.

When TheDCNF asked Wasserman Schultz Monday if it could inquire about her strong desire for the laptop, she said “No, you may not.” After TheDCNF asked why she wouldn’t want the Capitol Police to have any evidence they may need to find and punish any hackers of government information, she abruptly turned around in the middle of a stairwell and retreated back to the office from which she had come.


Her spokesman, David Dameron, then emerged to say “We just don’t have any comment.”

Another treatment of this issue. (http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/05/24/report-congressional-aides-fear-former-it-workers-are-blackmailing-democratic-house-members/)


....Awan was in possession of an iPad belonging to the then-Democratic National Committee chair, Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, around the time that DNC emails were been leaked to WikiLeaks in July 2016, prompting suspicion from authorities. Also, members of Awan’s group were paid $165,000 a year, roughly the same salary as a congressman. Together, the five tech workers accumulated some $4 million from 2010 to the time of their firings earlier this year, according to the Daily Caller....

....Capitol Police banned Awan’s group from working on congressional members’ servers directly, but Schultz circumvented the ban by keeping Awan employed in an advisory position and allowing him to conduct business remotely....

This really feels like a tip of the iceberg situation. The thought of DWS being indicted I have to admit is sweet.

Wasserman Schultz Threatened Police Chief For Gathering Evidence On Her IT Staffer’s Alleged Crimes [VIDEO]



Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz threatened the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police with “consequences” for holding equipment that she says belongs to her in order to build a criminal case against a Pakistani staffer suspected of massive cybersecurity breaches involving funneling sensitive congressional data offsite.

The Florida lawmaker used her position on the committee that sets the police force’s budget to press its chief to relinquish the piece of evidence Thursday, in what could be considered using her authority to attempt to interfere with a criminal investigation.

The Capitol Police and outside agencies (http://dailycaller.com/2017/03/15/paul-ryan-house-it-scandal-probe-getting-outside-help/) are pursuing Imran Awan, who has run technology for the Florida lawmaker since 2005 and was banned (http://dailycaller.com/2017/02/04/exclusive-house-intelligence-it-staffers-fired-in-computer-security-probe/) from the House network in February on suspicion of data breaches and theft.

“My understanding is the the Capitol Police is not able to confiscate Members’ equipment when the Member is not under investigation,” Wasserman Schultz said in the annual police budget hearing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfby0FYLBkM&feature=youtu.be&t=1h24m24s) of the House Committee On Appropriations’ Legislative Branch Subcommittee.

“We can’t return the equipment,” Police Chief Matthew R. Verderosa told the Florida Democrat.

“I think you’re violating the rules when you conduct your business that way and you should expect that there will be consequences,” Wasserman Schultz said.
...

A federal employee with knowledge of the situation and who requested anonymity told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group that as House authorities closed in on Imran Awan and his brothers, a laptop used by Imran was hidden in an unused crevice of the Rayburn House Office Building. Wasserman Schultz’s office is in Longworth House Office Building, a separate structure.

The laptop was later found by Capitol Police and seized because it was relevant to the criminal investigation, the source said.

The investigation is examining members’ data leaving the network and how Awan managed to get Members to place three relatives and a friend into largely no-show positions on their payrolls, billing $4 million (http://dailycaller.com/2017/03/01/pakistani-suspects-in-house-it-probe-received-4-million-from-dem-reps/) since 2010.

The congresswoman characterizes the evidence as “belonging” to her and argues that therefore it cannot be seized unless Capitol Police tell her that she personally, as opposed to her staffer, is a target of the investigation.

$10 bucks says zip happens to the leftist witch. She IS, after all, a Democrat. Remember, she conspired with Brazille and others to rig the Dem primaries. I would expect that was a felony of some kind. Voting rights Act?

As did their puppet he obama, the muslim bastard in hiding that ran this nation because the clueless, the sold-out, the moronic leftist/libs/dems only cared about having he power not about who and what the traitor obama really was..
Those muslims were well-paid spies, paid with our tax dollars..
That is just how blind and corrupt the dem party and our government is/was..--Tyr

Well, the DNC is arguing in court that they didn't have to follow their own written rules.

They acknowledge that shady shit went down when they screwed Sanders over in favor of Hillary, but say they weren't legally obligated to follow the rules prohibiting such conduct.

I can see the lawyer's point from a legal point of view... but it's pretty funny when you think about it.

It boils down to this : "Yeah, we're a bunch of scumbags that broke our own rules regarding fairness - but they're OUR rules and we can disregard them if we choose to."


Democrats : we strictly observe rules and laws except when we don't want to.
