As I mentioned above, this is looking more and more like an iceberg syndrome. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

That laptop might well have been planted "for investigators to find", but Awan wouldn't have done it. Don't know who did, but we owe him/her some thanks. Serious about crackers | |||

Seems unlikely that Awan would leave incrimination evidence behind. Makes me wonder if DWS, on someone on her behalf, planted the stuff. I guess it all turns on what is found on the computer. Does the "attorney client privilege" on the notes prevent the investigators from using the papers or investigating the contents of the computer? Smells like fish to me. Is everyone and everything in DC corrupt? | |||

http://dailycaller.com/2018/04...mpaign=atdailycaller 44 Dems, Including Wasserman Schultz, Exempted Pakistani IT Aides From Background Checks 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. If a screening had caught those, what officials say happened next might have been averted. The House inspector general reported on Sept. 20, 2016, that shortly before the election members of the group were logging into servers of members they didn’t work for, logging in using congressmen’s personal usernames, uploading data off the House network, and behaving in ways that suggested “nefarious purposes” and that “steps are being taken to conceal their activity.” A pair of closely-held reports on Imran Awan, his brothers Abid and Jamal, his wife Hina Alvi, and his friend Rao Abbas, said, “the shared employees have not been vetted (e.g. background check).” “Shared employees” means they were all hired as part-time, individual employees by individual members, cobbling together $165,000 salaries. Jamal began making that salary at only 20 years old, according to House payroll records; Abid never went to college, his stepmother said; and Rao Abbas’ most recent job experience was being fired from McDonald’s, according to his roommate. (“Whether they had formal training or not, they were trained on the job by Imran,” one of Imran’s lawyers said.) The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to all 44 members, and none disputed that they had not conducted a background check. Not a single one of the 44 would say which of their colleagues vouched for the Awans, nor stated what criteria they used to determine that it was prudent to give them access to all their data. Besides Wasserman Schultz, Imran has longstanding personal relationships with Reps. Gregory Meeks and Marcia Fudge of New York, Politico reported. Employers also include Rep. Ted Lieu of California on the Foreign Affairs Committee and three members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence: Reps. Andre Carson of Indiana, Jackie Speier of California and Joaquin Castro of Texas. 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 | |||

Let me know if I have this straight. Defacto foreign nationals, with quesitonable ethics and loyalties, were exempted from background checks, and were allowed fairly open access to copy and manipulate US Congressional classified material. Those involved were Congress critter Shultz, who says we need background checks to purchase ammo. And now CA Atty Gen Becerra, who says any public employee in CA who cooperates with feds re illegals will be prosecuted. Did I get something wrong? "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

Completely nuts. The lack of accountability of these politicians is stupifying. And the failure of investigators to file any meaningful charges against any of the involved parties makes my head spin. Swamp doesn't begin to describe what our government in DC has become. | |||

Debbie is dirty. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Just more proof that there are two tiers of justice in this country. One for us little people, and one for the elites. This lack of accountability is REALLY getting on my nerves. | |||

He is an ASSISTANT US Attorney, not the US Attorney. In other words, a staffer. So with all the other ones they could give it to, why him? And where is Jeff Sessions and the Trump appointed US Attorney? ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

That possibility is constantly in the back of my mind. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
