    44 Dems, Including Wasserman Schultz, Exempted Pakistani IT Aides From Background Checks

    Every one of the 44 House Democrats who hired Pakistan-born IT aides who later allegedly made “unauthorized access” to congressional data appears to have chosen to exempt them from background checks, according to congressional documents.

    All of them appear to have waived background checks on Imran Awan and his family members, even though the family of server administrators could collectively read all the emails and files of 1 in 5 House Democrats, and despite background checks being recommended for such positions, according to an inspector general’s report. The House security policy requires offices to fill out a form attesting that they’ve initiated background checks, but it also includes a loophole allowing them to simply say that another member vouched for them.

    I like souffle, but why would 44 members of Congress act in unison when it came to avoiding background checks, which was followed by massive security breaches of government IT servers that contained sensitive classified information?

    Something not right there

    Has anyone checked how often that box is ticked for shared resources for all the people accredited on Congrssional IT systems compared with the alternative? You then might have your answer!

    • Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver hired former McDonald’s employee Rao Abbas to manage his data for three years
    • Cleaver claimed on an audio recording that now-indicted Imran Awan was actually his IT aide
    • FACT has submitted an ethics complaint against Cleaver for allegedly having Awan as his aide but paying Abbas $60,0000
