The Congressional Democrat<\/a> Information Technology<\/a> scandal has not received a lot of press. The Daily Caller<\/a> has been investigating it from the beginning. Their latest article <\/a>was posted yesterday. Some of the excuses given for the misconduct of Imran Awan and his associates make ‘the dog ate my homework’ believable.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Democratic congressional aides made unauthorized access to a House server 5,400 times and funneled \u201cmassive\u201d amounts of data off of it. But there\u2019s nothing to see here, Democrats told The Washington Post: They were just storing and then re-downloading homework assignments for Imran Awan\u2019s elementary-school aged kids and family pictures.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A congressional source with direct knowledge of the incident contradicted the Post\u2019s account, saying that now-indicted IT aide Imran Awan and his associates \u201cwere moving terabytes off-site so they could quote \u2018work on the files’\u201d and that they desperately tried to hide what was on the server when caught, providing police with what law enforcement immediately recognized as falsified evidence and an indication of criminal intent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The Post did not note the \u201cmassive\u201d outgoing data and unauthorized access until the 40th and 42nd paragraphs of its story, after it had quoted multiple defense attorneys and ventured into a lengthy and seemingly irrelevant but humanizing backstory on Awan\u2019s childhood.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its print headline was \u201cEvidence Far Exceeds Intrigue\u201d in the probe, yet it quoted only a congressional staffer who, TheDCNF\u2019s congressional source said, would not have been able to make assurances that there was nothing to the criminal investigation, because Congress has been fire walled from the criminal probe since it was turned over.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Post also did not specify that data was also being backed up online via unofficial Dropbox accounts<\/a>. Wasserman Schultz has acknowledged that the accounts were used for congressional data, and that she has used the service in violation of House rules \u201cfor years.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Awan began selling off many of the multiple houses that his family owns around the time he learned he was subject of the cybersecurity probe, and wired money to Pakistan, resulting in Awan and his wife being indicted for bank fraud.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Post confirmed that Democratic IT aides had no experience, such as Rao Abbas, who worked at McDonald\u2019s. But it did not mention that an Iraqi politician tied to Hezbollah sent $100,000<\/a> to a company the family set up while working for Congress, and that Awan had a secret account unknown to authorities, 123@mail.house.gov, that was tied to the name of an intelligence specialist<\/a> working for Rep. Andre Carson of Indiana. The intelligence specialist denies knowing anything about the account.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This obviously warrants serious investigation. What is Congress doing about it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
