I think we found our "Russian hackers." Not sorry if already posted, but I did scroll through the first two pages and googled it.

Three brothers who managed office information technology for members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and other lawmakers were abruptly relieved of their duties on suspicion that they accessed congressional computers without permission.
quote:
Also among those whose computer systems may have been compromised is Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Florida Democrat who was previously the target of a disastrous email hack when she served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 campaign.
quote:
The brothers are suspected of serious violations, including accessing members’ computer networks without their knowledge and stealing equipment from Congress.
Jamal handled IT for Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Texas Democrat who serves on both the intelligence and foreign affairs panels.
“As of 2/2, his employment with our office has been terminated,” Castro spokeswoman Erin Hatch told TheDCNF Friday.
Jamal also worked for Louisiana Democrat Rep. Cedric Richmond, who is on the Committee on Homeland Security.
Imran worked for Reps. Andre Carson, an Indiana Democrat, and Jackie Speier, a California Democrat. Both are members of the intelligence committee, and their spokesmen did not respond to TheDCNF’s requests for comment. Imran also worked for the House office of Wasserman Schultz.
Then-Rep. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat, employed Abid for IT work in 2016. She was a member of House committees dealing with the armed services, oversight, and Benghazi. Duckworth was elected to the Senate in November, 2016. Abid has a prior criminal record and a bankruptcy.
Abid also worked for Rep. Lois Frankel, a Florida Democrat who is member of the foreign affairs committee.

And they had access to the Intelligence committee computers. Nothing to worry about

All in their 20's making over $150,000-- one of which visited the White House at least 3 times.... Do we even know where these guys are from??
They are most likely Muslim Brotherhood (like the rest of Obozo's administration, Huma, etc) Absolutely zero doubt in my mind they leaked intelligence info to our enemies at some point.
Trump needs to purge Washington of EVERYBODY- on BOTH sides of the aisle!
ETA: One visit to the WH was apparently to meet with a "policy advisor" named Hassan Abdullah.... Nothing to see here folks..just a White House administration and Democratic Party slam full of Muslims...

Fired? Why not arrested? Wtf?!?

There is currently an investigation into 5 individuals over security concerns. There's nothing specific tying these guys to those 5, but this seems awfully coincidental.

Keep hope alive. We have not even seen the tip of the iceberg that is the corruption in the Obummer White House!

How did they get this job? Especially the one with past record? The armed services won't allow security clearance with a DUI, but this dude is doing work for politicians with homeland security?

The multiple bankruptcies should be a red flag for a position like this too, imo.

Valery Jarrett and Huma Abadin

The three mentioned plus another brother Omar Awan are the four guys. The fifth is a chick, Hina Alvi. This story needs to be blown up. Abid, Jamal and Imari were making $160,000 each (3 times the average House IT staff salary. Many more of these situations are going to pop up as the skin gets peeled back.

I won't hold my breath on that. The Dems and the media are too invested in the Russia angle.

Idk what devices are out there to sniff out spying equipment but anyplace or anything touched by Dem's/strangers needs a thorough cleaning. Maybe Hillary can recommend something.
