| 44 Dems, Including Wasserman Schultz, Exempted Pakistani IT Aides From Background Checks |
| 2018-04-02 |
| [Daily Caller] Every one of the 44 House Democrats who hired Pakistan-born IT aides who later allegedly made "unauthorized access" to congressional data appears to have chosen to exempt them from background checks, according to congressional documents. All of them appear to have waived background checks on Imran Awan and his family members, even though the family of server administrators could collectively read all the emails and files of 1 in 5 House Democrats, and despite background checks being recommended for such positions, according to an inspector general’s report. The House security policy requires offices to fill out a form attesting that they’ve initiated background checks, but it also includes a loophole allowing them to simply say that another member vouched for them. Among the red flags in Abid’s background were a $1.1 million bankruptcy; six lawsuits against him or a company he owned; and at least three misdemeanor convictions including for DUI and driving on a suspended license, according to Virginia court records. Public court records show that Imran and Abid operated a car dealership referred to as CIA that took $100,000 from an Iraqi government official who is a fugitive from U.S. authorities. Numerous members of the family were tied to cryptic LLCs such as New Dawn 2001, operated out of Imran’s residence, Virginia corporation records show. Imran was the subject of repeated calls to police by multiple women and had multiple misdemeanor convictions for driving offenses, according to court records. |

| #9 Xavier Becerra, now attorney general of California, ran the House Democratic Caucus, and his server was physically stolen shortly after the IG report named it as evidence in a hacking probe, three senior government officials said Strange how that conveniently happens to Dems. Some might suspect such a theft is getting rid of evidence. |

| #8 Criminals providing employment to other criminals. Little Debbie probably did her own background check and found the Awans had the street creds she was looking for. |

| #7 Um, since when do Congress critters get to decide who needs a background check to access information provided by Executive branch agencies? |

| #5 I'm wondering why these guys didn't come under the ultimate purview of the GOPe leadership. If they had access to everything (not just Dem systems) then McConnell/Ryan bear responsibility as well. Not that Whinerman-Schnozz shouldn't be roasted. |
