House staffers under criminal investigation still


Posted: Feb 21, 2017

lawmakers have yet to cut ties with House staffers under criminal investigation for wide-ranging equipment and data theft. Imran Awan, a longtime House staffer who worked for more than two dozen Democrats since 2004, is still employed by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, though his access to the House IT network has been blocked since last week. “At this time we are continuing to gather information from House officials and will determine the best approach to move forward once we have reviewed that information,” David Damron, communications director for Wasserman Schultz, said in an email when asked by POLITICO if Awan was still working for the Florida Democrat. Wasserman Schultz declined to comment, referring POLITICO to the statement when asked follow-up questions Monday night. Multiple relatives of Imran Awan, including his wife Hina Alvi, Abid Awan and Jamal Awan — all House staffers until recently — are also being investigated in connection to the alleged procurement scam, according to a senior House official close to the investigation. Alvi has worked for more than a dozen House Democrats and the House Democratic Caucus since 2007. At least one member, Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), is still employing her. “My office is in the process of gathering information to make a determination in the near future about the employment of Ms. Alvi with our office,” Meeks said Monday in a statement to POLITICO. Five House staffers are accused of stealing equipment from members’ offices without their knowledge and committing serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network, according to multiple sources briefed on the investigation. Top staffers for lawmakers impacted by the scam were briefed last Thursday. A source in the briefing said the Sergeant-at-Arms confirmed the U.S. Capitol Police is conducting an active criminal investigation but said no arrests have been made. Imran Awan was first employed on Capitol Hill by former Rep. Robert Wexler in January 2004 as an “information technology director.” Awan has worked for at least 25 other House Democrats since that time as a shared employee providing technical support including to previous House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra, currently the California attorney general. Imran Awan has a longtime relationship with some members, including working for Meeks and Becerra starting in 2004 and joining Wasserman Schultz’s office in 2005. Several members who have employed Imran Awan and Alvi in the past confirmed to POLITICO they terminated their employment late last week. Jamal Awan worked as a House IT staffer for more than half-dozen House Democrats since 2014, according to LegiStorm, a website that tracks congressional employment. Abid Awan worked for more than a dozen House Democrats as a systems administrator since 2005, according to congressional records. Another House staff with connections to Imran Awan is also under investigation, according to the senior House official. No one named in this POLITICO report as being under investigation returned multiple calls and emails requesting comment over the past several days. Capitol Police also did not return multiple requests for comment Monday asking for an update on the case. ;

Honestly W is looking good right now, and that's really skimming the bottom of the barrel. And at any rate, I'm calling this fake news! I mean why not? Anything that the Donald's fans don't like, it's fake, so this is fake too. Bad media, bad, bad, bad.

Actually it was under Bill Clinton the first time at the World Trade - Center. It was years in the planning

In 1993, terrorist set off a bomb at the World Trade Center.

I really wish people would use critical thinking skills.
I vaguely remember the Blink Sheik and his American - lawyer Lynne Stewart being indicted

for conducting and plotting terrorism from his prison cell. He was associated with the terrorist organization believed that orchestrated 9/11 attacks.

For the record, he came to this country claiming "political asylum"
If critical thinking skills were utilized - Nn

what we have now wouldn't be there, although that's the electoral vote not the majority of America unfortunately. 9/11 was under W. That's just a fact, and not an alternative one.
9/11 happened in 2001, but the implication was that - Bush was somehow responsible.

This was years in the planning. You don't just hijack a plane and fly it into a building. It takes years of planning.
The question asked was - Nn
[ In Reply To ..]
Whose administration did 9/11 occur under. The answer is W's. No one said Bush was PERSONALLY responsible, it happened under his administration, just a fact.

Seriously? Bill Clinton stopped CIA and FBI from communicating - which led to 9/11. He was taking

money from the Chinese for his campaign and didn't want to be discovered, so he stopped the two agencies via Jamie Gorelick from communicating.

Oh yeah, he was impeached.
Oh yeah - Nn

Impeachment was not upheld. 9/11 happened under W. Period. Deflection - it's the right wing way.
Yes he was impeached for one of the charges and barred - from practicing law. Facts are not ring wing

or left wing.

The Clinton administration turned - sm
