IN NEWLY OBTAINED MEMO, CONGRESS’S TOP COP SAID HOUSE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS SERVER VANISHED
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
With all their info. And was replaced with a fake.....Imagine that.
A secret memo marked “URGENT” detailed how the House Democratic Caucus’s server went “missing” soon after it became evidence in a cybersecurity probe. The secret memo also said more than “40 House offices may have been victims of IT security violations.”
In the memo, Congress’s top law enforcement official, Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving, along with Chief Administrative Officer Phil Kiko, wrote, “We have concluded that the employees [Democratic systems administrator Imran Awan and his family] are an ongoing and serious risk to the House of Representatives, possibly threatening the integrity of our information systems and thereby members’ capacity to serve constituents.”
The memo, addressed to the Committee on House Administration (CHA) and dated Feb. 3, 2017, was recently reviewed and transcribed by The Daily Caller News Foundation. The letter bolsters TheDCNF’s previous reporting about the missing server and evidence of fraud on Capitol Hill.
It details how the caucus server, run by then-caucus Chairman Rep. Xavier Becerra, was secretly copied by authorities after the House Inspector General (IG) identified suspicious activity on it, but the Awans’ physical access was not blocked.
“They put 40 members of Congress’s data on one server … That server, with that serial number, has disappeared,” he said.
Multiple sources connected to the investigation told TheDCNF that shortly after an IG report came out identifying the House Democratic Caucus server as key evidence in a criminal probe, the evidence was stolen.
“They [the Awans] deliberately turned over a fake server ” to falsify evidence, one official close to the CHA alleged. “It was a breach. The data was completely out of [members’] possession.”
The six-page letter says:
• In September of 2016 … the CHA and [IG] briefed the former Chairman of the Democratic Caucus about suspicious activity related to their server that the [IG] identified. As a result, the former Chairman of the Democratic Caucus directed the CAO to copy the data from their server and two computers.
• The CHA directed the IG to refer the matter to the US Capitol Police. The USCP initiated an investigation that continues to this day.
• In late 2016, the former Chairman of the Democratic Caucus announced his intention to resign from Congress to assume a new position. The CAO and [sergeant-at-arms] worked with the Chairman to account for his inventory, including the one server.
• While reviewing the inventory, the CAO discovered that the serial number of the server did not match that of the one imaged in September. [Investigators] also discovered that the server in question [the replacement server] was still operating under the employee’s control, contrary to the explicit instructions of the former chairman to turn over all equipment and fully cooperate with the inquiry and investigation. [A House source said the “employee” was Abid Awan.]
• The USCP interviewed relevant staff regarding the missing server.
• On January 24, 2017, the CAO acquired the [replacement] server from the control of the employees and transferred that server to the USCP.

It's always amusing to think, "What if Trump did that.." when the Democrats do corrupt Democrat things.
People's heads on MSNBC and CNN would literally be exploding.
Looks like the conspiracy/bullshit echo chamber is a snooze fest today. Who the hell cares about that, as opposed to what is happening today to the entire country and its security? Nobody.
Oh, ya, it's all conspiracy theory!
Well since the DOJ just documented in the Awan indictment that their investigation into the server found NO violation of law in connection with the server and that he did NOT remove House information, nor did he steal the server, ya, it kinda is.
"Internal House Inspector General findings have also determined that Awan copied the emails of up to 44 Democratic House members and other personal data and backed them up to a server that reportedly went missing and to a Dropbox account.
Awan, his wife and other relatives and friends were also all paid exorbitant salaries for working as IT contractors for members of Congress for years – even though many of them didn’t have any expertise in IT and even though they didn’t undergo background checks.
It is also likely that a few of Awan’s associates didn’t even show up to earn all the money they were paid. Still, no charges have been filed against Awan or his brothers relating to alleged thefts, possible espionage and for providing false information (an image of the Democratic House Caucus computer server) to Capitol Police.
It is actually very hard to sum-up all that this group of IT aides (who are almost all from Pakistan) did and the crimes they might have committed"
Sessions' DOJ stated in a COURT document that Aman has been exonerated on those allegations.
TWO DOJ officers of the Court signed that statement. I suggest you review what happens to an Officer of the Court should they submit a false statement to a Federal Court.
Sandy Berger got caught trying to leave a classified area with Clinton papers stuck in his socks. I shudder to think how somebody might have tried to hide a server.

Those people can't seem to keep up with anything. <sarc>
Well after all the controversy with destroying evidence they though it best they went back to making it disappear.
Comments like that make me wish I had stock in tin foil...
Perhaps years ago, not now.
Really? When exactly did that happen Norman and by whom?
Oh I see, delusions of grandeur. Since you love emoji's so much, here you go.
Better than calling out this seed as bullshit?
Nope.
Well it looks like you finally realized that this seed is a stinker. You're not even posting irrelevant links here anymore.
