Do you have more information regarding his position?
I sure do. Convince me why I should provide the links. If you do a good job I'll provide them. I'm not interested in providing information to people that knee-jerk the sources like schoolchildren. It's a waste of everyone's time.
If you're truly interested though, you would find more value in researching it yourself.
There are four family members involved and rumblings of a fifth individual. Three have already fled the country, Imran Awan was arrested and is being held. This, after fleecing the Congressional Federal Credit Union while posing as his wife to obtain a loan on a house neither of them owned. The CU granted the loan and wired the funds to Pakistan where the others had already fled to. He was attempting to get out of the country.
He worked for various Democrats, some holding positions on committees that dealt with sensitive information. In February the bunch of them had their access cut off when it became too difficult to ignore that they had set up shadow servers which were duplicating information they had access to as IT staffers for these Dem's. It is suspected that they had hacked into servers for which they did not have clearance. What they were doing with this information is unknown at this time or at the very least has not been reported on.
Imran got his brothers involved and his wife. They were pulling down unusually high salaries for the work they were performing. The story finally became too much to ignore when they rented a home they did not even own to a former marine who discovered a lot of IT equipment in the garage. He notified the proper authorities while Imran made several attempts to retrieve the components.
This is a brief summary of what is known to date. It only scratches the surface of what is known. I've been reading about this for the last six or eight months and was wondering when it was actually going to come to a head. This could be very serious for national security. We can't turn back the clock but when will we demand that government officials start acting in a responsible manner? Ever?
All the Dem's this group was working for ditched them when the shit hit the fan. DWS didn't until Imran was apprehended for whatever that is worth.
Democrats did some stupid shit regarding this and they'd been doing it for over a decade in this case. Republicans do stupid shit too. But stupid shit like this needs to be exposed for what it is and there should be some consequences that are commensurate. Do we want to send a message that this type of behavior is not going to be tolerated or do we want to go meh, whatever?
Why are background checks not exposing bad actors like this either before they are hired or after? I think that's more than a reasonable question to demand an answer to. This time it's Democrats, next time it could be Republicans. It doesn't matter what letter they are associated with. We can't tolerate the security breaches any longer.
