| Report: Democrat IT Guys Logged In as Congressmen |
| 2018-01-18 |
| [TruNews] Pakistani IT workers who were supposed to be working on computers for House Democrats were using the passwords of members of Congress to access the House servers and cover their tracks, according to an investigation report. The Daily Caller’s Luke Rosiak reports the House Office of Inspector General investigators concluded Imran Awan, his wife Hina Alvi, his brothers Abid and Jamal, and his friend Rao Abbas employed a "classic method for insiders to exfiltrate data from an organization," which continued even after they were told to stop. He further reports: There are indications that numerous members’ data may have been secretly residing not on their designated servers, but instead aggregated onto one server, according to the briefing and other sources. Authorities said that the entire server was then physically stolen. When acting on the findings, Democratic leadership appear to have misrepresented the issue to their own members as solely a matter of theft, a comparison of the investigators’ findings with Democrats’ recollections and a committee’s public statement shows, leading 44 Democrats to not conduct protective measures typically taken after a breach‐including informing constituents whose personal information may have been exposed. The report includes a list of involved Democrats, as means of informing their constituents, who likely still don’t know their private information may be making the rounds on the Dark Web. Rosiak also reported there was evidence the House Democratic Caucus server was "being used for nefarious purposes and elevated the risk that individuals could be reading and/or removing information," and it may have been used to "store documents taken from other offices." At the time, the caucus was led by then-Rep. Xavier Becerra, who is now Attorney General of California. |

| #8 So... Were they using what they gathered to blackmail the Congresscritters, for Pakistan to blackmail the Congresscritters, or both? One of them had a used car dealership -- which is a Hamas (I believe) favorite for money laundering. Hamas connection? If there's a Hamas connection, is there a connection between their activities and Obama's favors and cover given Iranian/Hamas criminal activities? How badly was the US damaged by this, and how deeply is Wasserman-Schulz implicated? |

| #6 Related: Congressional investigators released a report indicating, “Democrat IT aides made unauthorized access to congressional servers in 2016, allegedly accessing the data of members for whom they did not work, logging in as members of Congress themselves, and covering their tracks, according to a presentation summarizing the findings of a four-month internal probe,” reported the Daily Caller Tuesday. Link Rich was murdered in July of 2016. Perhaps a coincidence. |

| #4 How long until we discover the Awans could log in to the Republican computer systems and governments systems as well? According to wiki, "One of Seth Rich's tasks at the DNC was the development of a computer application to help voters locate polling stations"..... or was it ? Clinton must have known she was vulnerable, hence the Platte River Network remote systems. Appears we are moving closer and closer to the possibility of espionage. |
