The Daily Caller\u2019s investigative reporter Luke Rosiak joined TheBlaze\u2019s own Dana Loesch to discuss the developing story of the DNC IT staffer with ties to terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n
Imran Awan is the lead suspect in a criminal probe into security breaches within the House of Representatives that was launched on February 2<\/a>. Imran, who was hired in 2005, was reportedly in possession of an iPad used by then Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz around the time that DNC emails had been leaked to WikiLeaks.<\/p>\n As Rosiak discusses with Loesch, soon after Imran\u00a0was hired, four of his family members were put onto the payroll, as well as one friend, each making the maximum amount of money you can make. Rosiak, however, believes they were likely not working there at all, but were simply ways for Imran\u00a0to make more money.<\/p>\n \u201cThose were most likely ghost employees,\u201d Rosiak told Loesch. \u201cBasically, the money was going to him and he was doing the work, but they were all making the maximum allowable salary. They were making the same thing a congressman makes, basically. So that adds up to $5 million right there.\u201d<\/p>\n Interestingly, the Awans were said to have owed money to the terrorist group Hezbollah, as Rosiak previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2026the Pakistani brothers\u00a0controlled a limited liability corporation called Cars International A (CIA), a car dealership with odd finances, which took\u2013and was unable to\u00a0repay \u2013 a\u00a0$100,000 loan from Dr. Ali Al-Attar<\/a>.<\/p>\n Philip Giraldi, a former CIA officer, wrote that Attar \u201cwas observed in Beirut, Lebanon conversing with a Hezbollah official\u201d in 2012\u2013shortly after the loan was made.\u00a0Attar has also been accused of helping provoke the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq as a leader of Iraqi dissidents opposed to Saddam Hussein.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Not only is it likely that Imram was cheating the system, he had access to top DNC leadership tech, as Rosiak writes in a report at The Daily Caller<\/a>.<\/p>\n WikiLeaks emails show that although Imran was employed by her taxpayer-funded House office, the Florida Democrat\u2019s world \u2014 and iPad \u2014 mixed DNC, House and campaign business, and that Imran was on call for, and on a first-name basis with, top DNC staff.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n House authorities began suspecting the Awan family, and targeted them for investigation during their search for a secret server that was funneling congressional data off-site.<\/p>\n Over the last six years, the individuals in question worked for some 80 members of Congress, all Democrats, including members of the homeland security, foreign affairs and intelligence committees. They worked for multiple members at once, since the offices did not require full-time IT services.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Capitol police ordered that Imram was no longer to come near House servers during the investigation, but Schultz decided to get around that by keeping Imram on a \u201cadvisory position.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s circumventing the Capitol Police\u2019s direct orders that he\u2019s not supposed to touch House computer systems because he is the<\/em> suspect in a major criminal investigation,\u201d Rosiak told Loesch. \u201cSo she\u2019s having him advise remotely so he could be telling other people what to do in a way that he potentially still has access to this stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n Loesch brought up the question of Schultz\u2019s past problems with hacking, and asked why Schultz would not be taking this investigation more seriously. Rosiak responded by saying that for the Democrats, the accusations boil down to racism.<\/p>\n \u201cRep. Gregory Meeks has said he maybe thinks they\u2019re being framed because they\u2019re Muslim,\u201d \u00a0Rosiak answered. \u201cBut we have a police report showing that their own step-mother called the police on them, and she\u2019s, of course, Muslim.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJust looking at the payroll, there\u2019s obvious, huge red flags for nepotism,\u201d \u00a0Rosiak continued, \u201cand the Capitol Police, of course, have their own evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMembers of Congress are being very unusually protective of these guys who are low level, non-political staffers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n This story has been developing since March 2, and this is the second time Loesch and Rosiak have discussed this story.
