Daily Caller: EXCLUSIVE: House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs Committee Members Compromised By Rogue IT Staff

Three brothers who managed office information technology for members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and other lawmakers were abruptly relieved of their duties on suspicion that they accessed congressional computers without permission.

Brothers Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan were barred from computer networks at the House of Representatives Thursday, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

Three members of the intelligence panel and five members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs were among the dozens of members who employed the suspects on a shared basis. The two committees deal with many of the nation’s most sensitive issues and documents, including those related to the war on terrorism.

WNU Editor: After accusing the Russians of hacking the Democrat Party servers .... we now have this story making the rounds?!?!?!?! But the little tidbit of information that caught my eye was the following ....

.... Jamal, who public records suggest is only 22 years old and first began working in the House when he was 20, was paid nearly $160,000 a year, or three times the average House IT staff salary, according to InsideGov, which tracks congressional salaries. Abid was paid $161,000 and Imran $165,000.

Three brothers getting paid over $160,000 EACH for their work .... and they still went about accessing restricted computers and violating the terms of their contract. WTF!?!?!?! Who are these people? Who hired them? And who made it OK for them to earn all of this money. Please .... can someone tell me that this is fake news.

Nepotism.
Favoritism.
Stupidity.
Liberals.
Democrats.

The picture says it all.

There had to have been better educated and more trustworthy people to hire. But they would not have been little Eichmanns.

Let's see what type of explanation is made for this and by whom.

The Democrats are infiltrated aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. Huma, Ellison to name a few big wigs then look to the roll of "revolutions" O's party supported across the ME. Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria. The MB showed themselves in every case once in power to form Islamist nations against western interest and their own peoples interest. Egypt, Tunisia, had counter coups Libya is a mess and Syria is a mess. Some basic research would tell the dems what the MB really is i.e. Zawahiri (current AQ leader and founding member) was/is Egyptian MB.

The dems problem is just what Rush said the other day. Simply they are people that have come to their beliefs/conclusions not through reasoning but by indoctrination. Because of that they cannot comprehend recognize correct their mistakes errors by seeing facts/reality/results. When their worldview collapses under reality they just start screaming their indoctrination racism homophobia etc....

This happens under the Obama administration, what a surprise! All departments need a big cleaning, because these metastasis are surely everywhere.

No confirmation of the Daily Caller story, period.

No Awal's at all listed on the House Permenent Select Committee staff lists.

Thank you Jay for looking into this story more deeply. As I said .... I an hoping that it is fake news.
But .... Politico covered this story a few days ago (no names or salaries were listed).
http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/house-staffers-investigation-equipment-234586

This is one of those situations where I suspect that there is more to this story than what is being reported on. Or .... nothing at all. We shall see.

"which has been ongoing since late 2016, is focused on equipment theft and not a network hacking issue."

Big difference from the Daily Caller's claims of three Arab brothers hacking and stealing data.

The Daily Caller is known for creating "red meat" for it's base from half truths.

As all Senate and House Employee's, must be listed by name, office and salary, and there are no Awal's on the Commitee staff,.......
