#8 so maybe these guys were the source of all of those nasty old emails about the democrats. Well, I guess they were in it for the money.

Do you suppose anyone in DOJ or elsewhere will connect the dots on these guys and stop the Russian/Trump connection nonsense?

#10 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.

#11 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.
