[Daily Caller] Rogue congressional staffers took $100,000 from an Iraqi politician while they had administrator-level access to the House of Representatives’ computer network, according to court documents examined by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group. Please continue tracking, we're gaining on them.
The money was a loan from Dr. Ali al-Attar, an Iraqi political figure, and was funneled through a company with "impossible"-to-decipher financial transactions that the congressional information technology (IT) staffers controlled.
Imran Awan, ringleader of the group that includes his brothers Abid and Jamal, has provided IT services since 2005 for Florida Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairwoman. The brothers are from Pakistan.
The trio also worked for dozens of other House Democrats, including members of the intelligence, foreign affairs and homeland security committees. Those positions likely gave them access to congressional emails and other sensitive documents.

Hey, they could be in the pay of the Russians too. They go for cheap.

Access to the head of the DNC email account during the entire period of the alleged Russian email hacking of the DNC?
Mere coincidence perhaps. But I was taught to always distrust coincidence as an answer to a parallel set of events. What a blockbuster revelation if the entire scandal was actually Muslim immigrant contractors hired by the democrats themselves. Heads would explode.

Investigators found that congressional information was being copied to an off-site server and they suspect the brothers of improperly accessing information and stealing congressional property.
Bankruptcy documents listed Abbas as a creditor and said he might sue Abid, but Abbas later took the brothers’ side in a lawsuit against Khattak. Not long after, Abbas appeared for the first time on the congressional payroll, and collected $250,000 from taxpayers through the end of last year.
Abbas’ congressional email was cut off in early February, around the time the Capitol Police revealed that they had uncovered a scheme involving a network of IT aides. The Awans’ access has also been cut off.
Abid claimed the Iraqi doctor may never have existed. “If as suspected, all of this is a charade, particularly if it is learned the mysterious Dr. Al-Attar doesn’t exist or didn’t sign the documents, then the whole matter rises to a higher level,” he said in court documents.
[MEDIAITE] According to Townhall editor and frequent Fox News contributor Guy Benson, controversial Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos has been disinvited from speaking at the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in DC, a report that was quickly confirmed by the ACU Chair.
Yiannopoulos’ initial invitation drew criticism, especially after a questionable clip emerged on social media revealing the Breitbart editor appearing to at least "advocate" for pedophilia. The clip, which was first put online by The Reagan Battalion, quickly made the rounds Sunday; Yiannopoulos says in the video:
In the homosexual world, particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men -- the sort of ’coming of age’ relationship -- those relationships in which those older men help those young boys discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable, sort of rock, where they can’t speak to their parents.
On Sunday night, board member Ned Ryan of the American Conservative Union noted on social media that the board was not consulted regarding Yiannopoulos’ appearance.
Matt Schlapp later announced that President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... would also be a confirmed guest for the conference. Moments ago Schlapp returned to social media with a full statement regarding Yiannopoulos’ status as a CPAC guest.slack-imgs
"Due to the revelation of an offensive video in the past 24 hours condoning pedophilia, the American Conservative Union has decided to rescind the invitation of Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference," the statement begins. In his original announcement celebrating the news that Yiannopoulos would take part, Schlapp noted, "We think free speech includes hearing Milo’s important perspective."
However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... it would appear as if Milo Yiannopoulos -- who sat down with Real Time’s Bill Maher on Friday before the much-maligned video was released by The Reagan Battalion -- was unaware of CPAC’s sudden about-face regarding his invitation. Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker said that he spoke with the Breitbart editor about the news:
Just minutes ago, Yiannopoulos took to his Facebook page to issue a lengthy response to the criticism he became embroiled in this weekend; however, it does not mention the status of his CPAC appearance in anyway specifically. "And I’ve repeatedly expressed disgust at pedophilia in my feature and opinion writing. My professional record is very clear," he writes. "But I do understand that these videos, even though some of them are edited deceptively, paint a different picture."

If you listen to the original tape he wasn't condoning pedophilia. Some versions have been edited to make it sound like he did. Why does the Left hate gay men?

Fake News. Lena Dunham confesses to molesting her little sister and they don't squawk, Milo tells of his experience as a youth being molested and they bring out the lynching rope. It's all about power, baby.

I didn't hear Milo say anything about any particular age.

Well Deacon, if you want to hear Milo's version you could simply click on the embedded link. But if you want a more detailed explanation you can go the NAMBLA website.

Didn't Obama appoint a pedophile czar at one point? One of his less popular ideas, as I recall.

Milo was talking about his own experience figuring out that he was gay.
He wasn't condoning pedophilia.
He speaks out against things like child marriage where 54-year-old men can abuse 8-year-old girls in places like Yemen because of the example of Mohammad. Child marriage is also allowed in saudi, lebanon etc
The people criticising him have never spoken out against this.
But I also don't think he's squared what happened to him and what (reportedly) frequently happens to young gay men. He states that HE doesn't feel he was a victim in his early (underage) encounters with grown men, but the law says otherwise, and I'm guessing most counselors would say say otherwise as well.

For a clearer contrast on the subject, google Terrence Patrick Bean. Note too, the media response.

The hell you say. He's explicitly talking about "relationships in the homosexual world".
He wasn't condoning pedophilia.
Acording to him as long as boys aren't under 13 y/o or have "fully functioning sex organs" it can't be pedophilia. Clinically, who knows, he might be right. Regardless if he protests that it's "arbitrary", the age of consent is 16 y/o. And legally speaking he's advocating child molestation.
Now the little beeyatch is blaming this on "establishment republicans that hate him as much as Trump". Didn't see that one coming - Not.
