Imran Awan Funneling ‘Massive’ Data Off Congressional Server, Dems Claim It’s Child’s HOMEWORK

 

DC: Democratic congressional aides made unauthorized access to a House server 5,400 times and funneled “massive” amounts of data off of it. But there’s nothing to see here, Democrats told the Washington Post: They were just storing and then re-downloading homework assignments for Imran Awan’s elementary-school aged kids and family pictures.

A congressional source with direct knowledge of the incident contradicted the Post’s account, saying that now-indicted IT aide Imran Awan and his associates “were moving terabytes off-site so they could quote ‘work on the files’” 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.

The Post described the amount of data improperly flowing out of the congressional network as “massive.” One congressional source told Circa it was “terabits.”

A terabyte is a million megabytes; a terabit is about one-tenth of that. Awan’s three children are in elementary school or younger. A book report in Word document format could clock in at under a megabyte, even if it were 100 pages long. To fill a terabyte with family photos, a person would need 250,000 photos.

  1. If stuff like this can’t motivate any republicants or independent goverment parasites to do a dam thing about it, then there is no reason to continue to fund the farce that our gubermint has become!

  2. That has to be the lamest taqiyah ever. Even lamer than the suitcase clock. And this same scumbag Awan wanted to go back to Pockiston because his son had a tummy ache. These demonic assholes sure do like to hide behind children, on the battlefield or off.

  3. This is niggling, but there are 8 bits in a byte. I would expect a journalist writing about computers to have this basic knowledge. So ‘about one-tenth’ just seems poor journalism, or speaking down to the reader.

  4. What’s the penalty for using a government data server for personal use? What’s the penalty for perjury?

    Apparently, whatever he actually put on and removed from the server was damning enough to make paying the penalty for perjury and unauthorized use of government resources look like gum ball money.
