If this is true, it is an illustration of the damage that fear of charges of “Islamophobia” can cause. The Democrats for whom Imran Awan worked would not have dreamed of looking into his activities, for to do so would have been “Islamophobic.” And so now sensitive information that Awan purloined could be in the hands of the jihad-enabling Pakistani government.
“House Hacking Suspects’ Father Transferred Data To Pakistani Government, Ex-Partner Claims,” by Luke Rosiak and Wajid Ali Syed, Daily Caller, April 18, 2018:
FAISALABAD, Pakistan — The father of Imran Awan — an IT aide to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz who investigators concluded made “unauthorized access” to House servers — transferred a USB drive to a Pakistani senator and former head of a Pakistani intelligence agency, the father’s ex-business partner, Rashid Minhas, alleged.
Minhas told The Daily Caller News Foundation that Imran Awan’s father, Haji Ashraf Awan, was giving data to Pakistani official Rehman Malik, and that Imran bragged he had the power to “change the U.S. president.”
Asked for how he knew this, he said that on one occasion in 2008 when a “USB [was] given to Rehman Malik by Imran’s father, my brother Abdul Razzaq was with his father.”
“After Imran’s father deliver (sic) USB to Rehman Malik, four Pakistani [government intelligence] agents were with his father 24-hour on duty to protect him,” he said. Minhas did not say what was on the USB.
TheDCNF traveled to Pakistan for this story and interviewed numerous residents who interacted with Imran, and they confirmed that he does travel that country with a contingent of armed Pakistani government officials and routinely brags about mysterious political power.
The House Office of Inspector General charged in Sept. 30, 2016 that data was being funneled off the House network by the Awans as recently as September 2016 — shortly before the presidential election.
Nearly Imran’s entire immediate family was on the House payroll working as IT aides to one-fifth of House Democrats, and he began working for the House in 2004. The inspector general, Michael Ptasienski, testified this month that “system administrators hold the ‘keys to the kingdom’ meaning they can create accounts, grant access, view, download, update, or delete almost any electronic information within an office. Because of this high-level access, a rogue system administrator could inflict considerable damage.”
Minhas said “Imran Awan said to me directly these words: ‘See how I control White House on my fingertip…’ He say he can fire the prime minister or change the U.S. president,” Minhas said. “Why the claiming big stuff, I [didn’t] understand ’till now.”
“I was Imran father’s partner in Pakistan,” Minhas said, in two land deals in Pakistan so big that they are often referred to as “towns.” In 2009, both men were accused of fraud, and Haji was arrested but then released after Imran flew to Pakistan, “allegedly… exerting pressure on the local police through the ministry as well as the department concerned,” according to local news. Minhas and multiple alleged victims in Pakistan also told TheDCNF Imran exerted political influence in Pakistan to extricate his father from the case.
Minhas is now in U.S. federal prison for additional fraud, and TheDCNF could not confirm whether Minhas’ claims about the USBs are true. But Minhas said the DOJ or FBI never interviewed him about the Awans, an indicator the potential for espionage may not have been explored extensively. The probe involves money allegedly disappearing to Pakistan and Minhas was, prominently, their business partner there….
Haji would frequently boast that Imran’s position gave him political leverage, numerous Pakistani residents told TheDCNF. “My son own White House in D.C.,” he would say, according to Minhas. “I am kingmaker.”…
House Sergeant-At-Arms Paul Irving banned the Awans from the congressional network on Feb. 2, 2017 after the IG report alleged that the Awans were making “unauthorized access” to House servers. They logged in using members of Congress’s personal usernames and logged into servers of members for whom they did not work, the IG report said. After some members fired them, they still kept accessing their data, an IG presentation charged….
According to court documents, Minhas stole $700,000 from American Muslims by using their faith against them. He set up travel agencies that sold cheap tickets to the Hajj, the obligatory trip to Mecca. But instead of providing the tickets, he sent buyers letters saying “Allah didn’t invite you. That’s why you guys didn’t go,” as one victim recounted in court papers. “So, he blamed the whole thing on God, not on his thing what he did to us.”…

Even if Pan Geller had said it, the charge is well-founded. :-).
Warmac9999 says
Pretty much my sentiment. The Democrats didn’t want to know because then they could deny and claim to be shocked. Realistically, to advance an open borders global socialist world, there can be no secrets between nations as there are no nations. The transfer of secrets in exchange for money would be quite consistent as Hillary did it when Secretary of State.

HELLO WARMAC —
As I have written several times in prior comments, there is certainly a HUGE NETWORK OF UNDER-THE-RADAR MONEY flying around the world, landing in bank accounts which CANNOT BE CONNECTED TO DEMOCRATS.
It would require an immensely time-consuming and large-team investigation to assemble evidence strong enough to bring federal charges. Trump’s DOJ might have some threads going currently, but there are plenty of OBAMA HOLDOVERS who are unwilling to dig far down.
Jacqueline says
If you’re depending on the useless Jeff Sessions to do this – forget it.

Now let us see if the MSM aids and abets this coverup.

They have been doing that remarkably well so far. They will continue. Jeff Sessions will assist them.

Imran Awan and his colluders should all get 15 years in jail.

Real collusion is smacking them in the face, but nothing will probably happen. They’re having too much fun investigating the porn star and rifling the lawyers files.

Muslim Congressional IT staffer transferred House data to Pakistani government, says his father’s ex-partner
………………………….
I’ve often wondered how many of the Muslims who have inveigled their way into our governments are spies.
Tjhawk says
The untold millions Hillary accepted from various islamic factions would have had her doing their bidding. I bet they were pissed off when she lost.
Joe says
Huma Abedin was definitely someone’s asset. She was throwing around thousands of dollars per week when she was a student at George Washington University. Her parents don’t have that kind of money.
When she had access to secret material, Huma says that she transferred the sensitive material to her home system (a felony if there ever was one) because HRC wanted to read it and refused to read it on the computer. Huma said that neither she nor HRC knew how to print the material although they had an IT staff and a printer is pretty easy. After the material was on the home server, Anthony Weiner would supposedly print it for them. Of course, it could have been shipped to all parts of the Islamic world.
Huma’s family wrote the Muslim Brotherhood newsletter. And Huma was on the masthead while serving the US government with a secret clearance.
WPM says
When Weiner was indicted again for chatting up a minor with sex talk that computer was seized by NYPD and hand over to the Feds ,still waiting to hear from them what was on the server?
WPM says
He{ the Weiner} was using that computer his wifes to chat on line with 14 and 15 year old girls , I understand the NYPD took, awhile to hand it over because they copy everything on the server it will be an interesting case if it goes forward .He was found quality of soliciting a minor and violating probation is awaiting to be sentence, but what about the server will the feds look at it or are they too busy interviewing wash up porn stars ,and look up Russian trolls posts on line?
Garfield says
Humans family were Egyptian communists. The gov is so corrupt it’s hard to even research…the more you find out, the more crazy it seems. I don’t WANT to believe there is so much corruption.
Anyone looking at how Hamas(iran)/lebanon have infiltrated the drug cartels?
What is wrong with people?

Her family also had close links with the Muslim Brotherhood. She never openly rejected this group or its goals.

Hear say evidence. Russian spying and other activities are than bigger threat to americ like russian help trunp win the election.

Of course “Brian hoff” considers Trump’s winning the election to be a threat to his hideous Islamic schemes for turning America into a brutal Shari’ah state.
As he would have it, all of that Jihad terror is “hear say evidence”, as well…

Yes, the diagnosis is now in for the incorrigible Brian Hoff:

When I first learned about the Awans, I thought it was going to be a HUGE story. It just fizzled away to irrelevance.
Maybe this will generate some further investigation.
Warmac9999 says
It didn’t fizzle, it was deliberately suppressed. Compare Watergate to this when you think the press under leftist control.
Wellington says
Too bad the other major party in America, i.e., the Republican Party, is full of wusses, ignoramuses, cowards, self-servers, life-time politicians, and sundry other kinds of deficient people.
Yes, if “only” the Democratic Party of the USA was derelict while the other major party of America was informed, stalwart, courageous, ready to fight, possessed of an accurate knowledge of what Islam intends for us all, etc., then I would rest easier at night. But “the other party” is as much at a loss of collective guts (and wisdom) as the Democratic Party is at a loss of collective brains (and wisdom surely).
Oh yeah, you can choose the “complicit party,” i.e., Democrats, or the “cowardly party,” i.e, Republicans; the moronic party or the gutless party. Quite the choice, eh?
Thus, no wonder both hate Trump who, whatever his faults, stands head and shoulders above both parties and is the single greatest and most powerful guarantor and force in all the world for the continued preservation of freedom.
Quite frankly, I am so effing sick of ALL THOSE who don’t realize this about Trump. Whatever Trump’s deficiencies (and they pale in comparison to his positives), EVERYONE who doesn’t get this about Trump by now is not only a doofus, they are an exponential malevolent or foolish rube, an obstacle to the continued preservation of liberty.
Oh yeah. No doubt. Clearly. The whole nine yards here.

HELLO AGAIN WELLINGTON —
Thank you for spot-on lucidity about “complicit” and “cowardly” U.S. politics. Being 69 years ancient, I have followed the Kennedy administration on through our present Trump emplacement.
DJT, as you write, “stands head and shoulders above both parties and is the single greatest and most powerful guarantor and force in all the world for the continued preservation of freedom.”
Our fellow citizens in the 20-to-50 age group are shamefully IGNORANT of World War Two events and their driving energy sourced from the German-Japanese supremacist agenda.
SO THAT CLUELESSNESS LEADS US TO DENIAL OF ISLAM’S CENTRAL INTENT TO PREVAIL OVER EVERY FREE NATION.
Muhammad and his severely disturbed subconscious personality [brilliantly disguised for cretinous gullible primates as God] will never stop the attack.
We are in a decades-long war. President Trump gets that fact — and the addition of Pompeo + Bolton is, for me, an indicator of resistance against jihad.

New York Magazine in their January 2017 issue–before Trump even took office–said that there was a faction already bent on trying to impeach him.

Either way looks like America is going, going, gooonnneee….

As soon as this story broke I suspected the family were working for Pakistan’s intelligence service, how they were never vetted by the FBI seems beyond belief. Sloppy computer security once again from the Democrats.

As an Indian who is very familiar with these Paki pests, I have absolutely NO RESERVATION to say that these are lowest of the lowest scum on earth, esp their attitude of hatred of non-Muslims and their constant cheating of them.. America is only experiencing these creatures now..
Carolyne says
I think you’re right about the Pakistanis, but for sheer barbarism, I think the Somalis have that title..
infidel says
Just imagine if Hillary had won the White House and that toxic Paki Trojan Huma Abedin as Secy of State… what monumental damage that would have caused… thank God Trump won and hope he wins again.. My gut instincts also tells me that Obama himself has leaked many state secrets to his Islamic cronies during his tenure…. the worst president of the USA by far… misused the trust of good intentioned Americans.
Elizabeth Lawson says
At this moment in time, this is just an allegation, and given how any information can emanate from an administration riddled with lies and liars, we will just have to wait and see. On the other hand, this entire administrative body – in the intelligence service of the American people, suffered from a very serious “ infection of the mind” regarding to whom staff owed loyalty, their own country, or the Islamic drive for conquest, I am inclined to believe this story. We will just have to wait and see how this plays out.
Carolyne says
We will likely never know how this plays out because our investigative agencies, I.e. the FBI are too busy trying to overthrow our duly elected President.
kouldb says
And the Democrats, in tow with Mrs Odious Clinton are taking legal action against Trump, Russia & Asange because they lost the last election for interference? It seems if they’re not risking national security by using personal servers in their basement. They’ve got rogue Muslims compromising their nation by supply info to Pakistan. Yet one more good reason to celebrate Mrs Odious Clinton’s loss.
