The Wasserman-Shultz/Awan Bros. Scandal

Post by Techmomof2 »

Who are the real colluders?

For all of the preoccupation of the American mainstream media on the purported scandal in which Donald Trump’s camp was said to have “colluded” with the Russians to rig the 2016 presidential election, a scandal which has largely morphed away from the initial accusation and into an examination of the actions of Trump and his advisers in attempting to put it to bed, a much more consequential and dramatic affair is being lost. That being the saga of the Awan brothers, the Pakistani-born information technology experts under investigation for a host of potential misdeeds serious enough to affect our national security.

Imran Awan, the figure at the center of the scandal, was hired by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz as a computer systems guru back in 2005. Awan managed to sell himself to various other congressional Democrats over the following years, bringing his brothers Abid and Jamal and his wife Hina Alvi, not to mention a couple of others, along in a lucrative Awan brothers family business which ultimately served some 80 Democrat members of Congress and brought the Awans into a position of getting to see and download material of the most serious kind. The Capitol Police have been investigating allegations of improper access and download of that information, as well as the theft of expensive hardware from Congress, since early this year – and yet the Awans are still listed on the books as IT professionals for a number of their Democrat clients even now.
