Democratic Aide Suspected Of Major Security Breach Under Government Protection In Pakistan

Daily Caller: A criminal suspect in an investigation into a major security breach on the House of Representatives computer network has abruptly left the country and gone to Pakistan, where her family has significant assets and VIP-level protection, a relative and others told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.

Hina Alvi, her husband Imran Awan, and his brothers Abid and Jamal were highly paid shared IT administrators working for multiple House Democrats until their access to congressional IT systems was terminated Feb. 2 as a result of the investigation. Capitol Police confirmed the investigation is ongoing, but no arrests have been reported in the case.

The Awans are “accused of stealing equipment from members’ offices without their knowledge and committing serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network,” according to Politico. Many of the Democrats who employed the Awans are members of the House Committee on Homeland Security, the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. (A list of potentially compromised members is listed below.)

Their positions gave them access to members’ emails and confidential files. In addition, Imran was given the password for an iPad used by then-Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat. The five came to the U.S. from Pakistan.

  1. This is a much bigger story than the media lets us know. If only we could get Trey Gowdy to dig into this, man we would have some sound bites then. Wouldn’t we?

  2. Ain’t this something the FBI should of been all over? But comey too busy looking for something imaginary as framed by left-libs.

    What else is being ignored for politics by the “deep freezer” state?

  3. “Imran was given the password for an iPad used by then-Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz”

    I’m no congressperson, but even here at work, if anyone asks for my passwords, I tell them to fuck off.

  4. @organgrinder, he fled cause he was guilty of espionage and he recognized the new DoJ was gonna cook his goose.
    The Dims are no longer wolves, just a noisy gaggle of geese.

  5. @joe6pak – Gowdy was asked about these IT folks live on camera by Maria Bartiromo last month. He said he knew nothing about it, this was the first he heard of it. I say BS.

    I don’t work anywhere near Capitol Hill and I have nothing to do with politics but I knew about this story for months.

    Gowdy gives good soundbites but notice that he NEVER gets to the heart of who did what when. He always stops short.

  6. Daily Caller yesterday revealed that these folks had ALL their politician clients’ Iphones connected to the same Icloud and the computers in their offices were all essentially “dumb terminals” connected to a central server.

    Why the FBI wasn’t on this from day 1 is a mystery until you know what type of man James Comey really was. He got wealthy covering up scandals – and there was probably a lot of material to work with from the democrat politicians who were clients of these folks.

  7. “A third family also lives in the 2,400 square foot house…A female African immigrant at Shah’s house said she began renting a portion of the house in April with her numerous children.”

    Obama Style.

  8. And they all have their collective panties in a wad over alleged Russian hackers? The Democrats who hired this bunch just created their own internal espionage department. On a side note, I sure wish they’d Wikileak some stuff.
