Report: No Background Check for Dem IT Guys

All of the 44 House Democrats who employed the Awan clan exempted them from required background checks

According to a new report, the House Democratic Caucus IT staffer who is now at the center of a scandal never underwent a required background check that likely would have popped up a number of disturbing red flags about himself and his family members.

The Daily Caller reported this morning that all 44 House Democrats who used Imran Awan and his family members to handle their IT needs exempted them from required background checks. The report states:

“For each server administrator, an ‘Authorizing Official’ from the member’s office must fill out a form on which the office attests: ‘I have assessed the risk of the prospective Privileged Account holder via background check processes outlined in HISPOL 16.’

“However, there is an alternative: ‘I have verified that a trustworthiness determination has been made on behalf of this shared resource by another Member.’ The option B does not ask the name of the member that vouched for the employee.”

All of the 44 House Democrats who employed the Awan clan used the second option, but none of them could point to the member who vouched for them. But, the report notes—citing a Sept. 20, 2016, House Inspector General report—it was much worse than that:

“… shortly before the election members of the group were logging into servers of members they didn’t work for, logging in using congressmen’s personal usernames, uploading data off the House network, and behaving in ways that suggested ‘nefarious purposes’ and that ‘steps are being taken to conceal their activity.’”

The Awan clan’s primary benefactor was Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who also previously served as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. Last week, she introduced a bill to require background checks for purchasing ammunition, drawing criticism from a number of Republicans.

If you're a liberal, you get a free pass. They need a Gestapo, after all.
