6 months of Russia and it turns out the DNC is the massively corrupt ones. LOL!

To be sure, the tale is a strange one with plenty of unsavory links. Thirty-seven-year-old Awan, as well as his wife and two brothers Abid and Jamal, worked as IT administrators for nearly 30 congressmen, all Democrats, including former Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. They did not have security clearances and it is not even certain that they were in any way checked out before being hired. At one point, they brought into the House as a colleague one Rao Abbas, someone to whom they owed money and who might have had no qualifications at all to work IT. Abbas wound up working in the office of Rep. Patrick Murphy, who was at the time a member of the House Intelligence Committee, as well as for Rep. Theo Deutch. He was paid $250,000.

The process of granting security clearances to Congressional staff is not exactly transparent, but it is not unlike clearances for other government agencies. The office seeking the clearance for a staff member must put in a request, some kind of investigation follows, and the applicant must sign a non-disclosure agreement before the authorization is granted. Sometimes Congress pushes the process by demanding that its staff have access above and beyond the normal “need to know.” In March 2016, for example, eight Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee requested that their staffs be given access to top-secret sensitive compartmented information (SCI). It is not known if the Awans, who were working for several committee members, would have been involved, but Buzzfeed, in its initial reporting on the investigation of the Awans family, repeated the concerns of a congressman that the suspects might have “had access to the House of Representatives’ entire computer network.”

The Awans billed Congress for more than $4 million between 2004 and 2016, a sum that has been reported to be three or four times higher than the norm for government contractor IT specialists performing similar work. The considerable level of overbilling has not been explained by the congressmen involved. In spite of all that income, Imran Awan declared bankruptcy in 2010, claiming losses of $1 million on a car business that he owned in Falls Church, Va. The business was named Cars International A, abbreviated on its business cards as CIA.

As of February 2016, the Awans came under suspicion for having set up an operation to steal and resell government-owned computer equipment. It was also believed that they had somehow obtained access to House of Representatives’ computer databases as well as to other information in the internal computer system that they were not normally authorized to work on as part of their duties. The Capitol Hill Police began an investigation and quietly alerted the congressmen involved that there might be a problem. Most stopped employing the Awan family, but Wasserman-Schultz kept Imran on the payroll until the day after he was actually arrested.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz:
My aide was a criminal and I'd stand by him again -
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/pol...802-story.html

“I believe that I did the right thing, and I would do it again,” Wasserman Schultz said Thursday in an exclusive interview with the Sun Sentinel. “There are times when you can’t be afraid to stand alone, and you have to stand up for what’s right."

Trump fires Flynn when he shouldn't have, DWS keeps staffers when they compromise National Security and then commit bank fraud while trying to flee the country.

Good on ya, Dems. Smart choice.

If you don't want to be called conspiracy theorists, you might not want to rely on articles by 9/11 truthers like Philip Giraldi.

Quote:

I recommend that readers watch Loose Change as it runs through discussions of U.S. military exercises and inexplicable stand-downs that occurred on 9/11, together with convincing accounts of engineering and technical issues related to how the World Trade Center and WTC7 collapsed. Particularly intriguing are the initial eyewitness accounts from the site of the alleged downing of UA 93 in Pennsylvania, a hole in the ground that otherwise showed absolutely no evidence of a plane having actually crashed. Nor have I ever seen any traces of a plane in photos taken at the Pentagon point of impact.

Seriously. Planes can totally disapear, along with bodies, seats, luggage etc when crashing into the ground and buildings @ <250mph. I even saw somewheres that some planes can even leave behind engines that dont belong to them while most all other Titanium and such that makes up the rest of its existence vaporize into thin air.

Also, wasn't there something documented/confirmed about Sahooodi Arabia being involved in nine eleven, when everyone swore up and down they were not involved or smth as well?

Oh wait, this isnt the nine eleven thread, my bad

FBI finished with Pennsylvania crash site probe

Quote:

The FBI announced Monday that its investigation of the site where a hijacked jet slammed into a field here is complete and that 95 percent of the plane was recovered.

Quote:

Crowley said the biggest piece of the plane that was recovered was a 6-by-7-foot piece of the fuselage skin, including about four windows. The heaviest piece, Crowley said, was part of an engine fan, weighing about 1,000 pounds.

No takers?

It's clear that this is all just innuendo based on thin facts. It "has been reported" that they overpaid for IT work? Where? Pajamas Media:

Quote:

"There's no question about it: If I was accused of a tenth of what these guys are accused of, they'd take me out in handcuffs that same day, and I'd never work again," said a manager at a tech-services company that works with Democratic House offices. He also reported offering his company's services to Democrat offices for one-fourth the price of Awan and his brothers, but the Democrats declined.

So some anonymous guy who claims he offered the Democrats a cheaper deal is all the evidence needed to fuel this nonsense.

Then we get rtd353's unsourced claims.

But no one can explain why the Democrats would hire these guys and overpay them so that they would steal government computers.

Even foxnews and drudgereport have no real interest in pushing this story. If there really was something there, wouldn't the mainstream right wing media be pushing it?

Seems the brothers were just petty criminals with no political motivations and the dems were just incompetent and not really much else there.
