Meet The Awan Brothers – The (Not-Russian) IT Staff Who Allegedly Hacked Congress’ Computer Systems

#3 Hacked computer server that handled DNC email remains out of reach of Russia investigators

It is perhaps the key piece of forensic evidence in Russia’s suspected efforts to sway the November presidential election, but federal investigators have yet to get their hands on the hacked computer server that handled email from the Democratic National Committee.

Indeed, the only cybersecurity specialists who have taken a look at the server are from CrowdStrike, the Irvine, California-based private cybersecurity company that the DNC hired to investigate the hack — but which has come under fire itself for its work.

Some critics say CrowdStrike’s evidence for blaming Russia for the hack is thin. Members of Congress say they still believe Russia was responsible but wonder why the DNC has never allowed federal investigators to get a look at the key piece of evidence: the server. Either way, a key “witness” in the political scandal consuming the Trump administration remains beyond the reach of investigators.
“I want to find out from the company [that] did the forensics what their full findings were,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who is leading the Judiciary Committee’s inquiry, told The Washington Times.
Scrutinizing the DNC server hack and CrowdStrike’s analysis has not factored heavily in multiple probes exploring the Russia issue. But behind the scenes, discussions are growing louder, congressional sources say.

#4 Certainly appears the Awan brothers were deep in the "deep state" for the Dems.

#7 At what point does suspicion focus on the Democrat congress critters who hired the Awans? Has it not occurred to anybody that they might be complicit?

At what point does suspicion focus on the Democrat congress critters who hired the Awans? Has it not occurred to anybody that they might be complicit?

Hackers i.e., (Alwans) 'cloaking' as Russians, hired to sort out leaks within the DNC? A man some refer to as Soetoro did nothing:

“The Obama administration knew far in advance of November 8th about election meddling by Russia. Did nothing about it. WHY?”

No profit in destroying a very effective cover, or disclosing and thus terminating your own projects.

#9 One of the biggest political scandals of the decade, and there is a media blackout.

#10 The Awans first started performing 'IT services' for a Muslim Member of Congress, then moved on to work in other offices.

It's likely that the Congresscritters did this partly because the Awans were already emplaced and it's less work to simply ride on to an existing contract, and partly because it would curry political favor with the Muslim-American community for the Democrats.

Also, factor in that each Congressional office is essentially independent; they do their own hiring of staff (who are not Civil Service) and do not work from GSA or Federal funding. So it's probable that the Congresscritters don't want to answer pointed questions about their financial operations, or have to explain to their constituents at home why they signed on such a dodgy bunch.

The money likely ended up in Pakistan. The question is whether some of that ended up with certain Pakistan-backed groups, or some among certain groups in the U.S., possibly as influence-buying and outright political contributions.

#11 Thanks that excellent synopsis Pappy. This is one of those cases where both malice and stupidity have come in to play. Here, the stoopid belongs to the Dems of course and the malice to the Awans. What remains is peeling back the layers of malice employed them.

Stupidity, indolence, group-think, and political opportunism, Rex.
