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.

Among the red flags in Abid’s background were a $1.1 million bankruptcy; six lawsuits against him or a company he owned; and at least three misdemeanor convictions including for DUI and driving on a suspended license, according to Virginia court records. Public court records show that Imran and Abid operated a car dealership referred to as CIA that took $100,000 from an Iraqi government official who is a fugitive from U.S. authorities. Numerous members of the family were tied to cryptic LLCs such as New Dawn 2001, operated out of Imran’s residence, Virginia corporation records show. Imran was the subject of repeated calls to police by multiple women and had multiple misdemeanor convictions for driving offenses, according to court records.

This seems like it should be a big deal. Why aren't there 200 comments in this thread already?

pretty sure this was already covered in other threads so we are just getting rehashed news. the typical parties are going to turn their head/plant their flag as required by their allegiances.

You can't make this **** up...

Ex-Wasserman Schultz IT aide owned a car dealership called ‘CIA’ that may have been a front for foreign intelligence gathering

Imram Awarn and his younger brother Abid ran ‘Cars International A’ in Falls Church, which was known as CIA, The Daily Caller reports.
