Daily Caller: A former IT aide suspected of stealing equipment and data from Congress still has an active, secret email account on the House computer system, even though he has been banned from the congressional network because of a criminal investigation into the alleged cybersecurity violations, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.
Imran Awan’s still-active email address is linked to the name of a House staffer who specializes in intelligence and homeland security matters for Indiana Democratic Rep. André Carson. Court documents and emails obtained by TheDCNF show Awan used the address 123@mail.house.gov in addition to his standard imran.awan@mail.house.gov account.
He and two of his Pakistani-born brothers, as well as his wife, are at the center of an FBI investigation over their IT work with dozens of Democratic congressional offices. Authorities shut down Awan’s standard email account Feb. 2, and he was arrested by the FBI at Dulles International Airport trying to board a flight to his native Pakistan on July 25.
Authorities apparently did not realize Awan has a second account that is not linked to his identity. While his main email address began rejecting mail after it was shut down, the 123 address was still accepting mail Tuesday. MORE
He probably also retains backdoor access to the system. These are our rulers (at least, that is how they see it). We are doomed.
Well he wasn’t finished stealing state secrets yet.
This whole “situation” stinks like nothing ever before and the dishonest media refuses to investigate and report on it.
Nothing to see here folks, there is ‘not enough public interest’ for anyone in charge to do something about all this alleged illegal activity. Please Move Along, now, nothing to see here, move along please. Keep moving, Please. Queue dah CRICKETS!
I hope there’s something going on here that we’re not privy to, but it appears as though Jeff Sessions has no interest in any of these festering boils.
There is not much sense in closing the door after the horse is out, unless there is another Horse.
No one is in charge of Cyber security. They think if the door is locked, everything is fine!
Why? The dude is a spy for Pakistan. I swear to God, it’s like our government officials are complicit in the distruction of our country. They’re not even trying to hide it!
The big question: is Debbie still continuing to do Pakistan? Inquiring minds want to know!
On the other hand, there is no Russia connection so this is not really a big story. You need Russians to make this a big story.
Also, you cannot have Democrats if you want a big story. According to CNN, no one wants to hear about corrupt and incompetent Democrats.
Maybe they’re using it to track back where info flowed.
Nah, they’re just bumbling baffoons.
Treason or gross incompetence? Either way, DWS needs to go to jail.
I’m just waiting for this guy to be flown back to Pakistan with a few pallets full of cash, and some excuse made as to why it was done.
I don’t trust our government no matter who is in charge of it.
The Rosebergs were executed for about the same crime.
Where’s Jeff Sessions in all of this? WTF?
