Russia! Russia! Russia!--yeah, we know. But have the Dems mentioned just once the Awan Brothers or Pakistan or the ISI or the real sedition that is just sitting under every congress critter's nose? Interestingly the Repugnants are just as silent about this as the Dems, although, so far no one can pin any blame on the Repubbies for this security fiasco, which is correctly termed sedition.

Sedition: n. [OFr. sedition; L. sedition (-onis),dissension, civil discord, sedition; from sed- sed apart, and itio, a going, from ire- -, to go]

1. the stirring up up of discontent, resistance or rebellion against the government in power.
2. rebellion, insurrection [Rare.]

In this case, it is difficult to understand why the seditious practice of hiring the Awans has not received more attention from Republicans, as they seem to have no skin in the game. But the Dems MUST keep this story out of the lights until at least after the mid-terms. Most people here are aware of the amazing Awan Brothers spying for (enter name of country or entity here, e.g., Pakistan's ISI).

We know about DWS threatening the chief of the Capitol Police "with consequences" should he not return the computer to her because it was her property. But then she realized that she better back off.

First, let's take a trip on the WayBack machine to 2017 (not so far back at all).

Three brothers who managed office information technology for members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and other lawmakers were abruptly relieved of their duties on suspicion that they accessed congressional computers without permission.

Brothers Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan were barred from computer networks at the House of Representatives Thursday, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

Three members of the intelligence panel and five members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs were among the dozens of members who employed the suspects on a shared basis. The two committees deal with many of the nation’s most sensitive issues and documents, including those related to the war on terrorism.

I agree with the reporter, Luke Rosiak, that Dems are afraid the scandal may deflate the entire Russiagate story. And he is correct because once Russiagate goes away, so does Mueller. And once Mueller goes away, then a firestorm of legal problems will engulf the Dems involved in the Awan sedition. Mueller is the dam holding back the fire and brimstone from destroying most of the establishment House Dems.

To see the rogues' gallery of dangerous and duped Dems, see this article which gives a timeline of Awan employment by Dems. Here's a sample.

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.

Oh, how about DWS culpability? No question here:

Wasserman Schultz was also chair of the Democratic National Committee when Wikileaks published its emails. (The Wikileaks emails show that DNC aides called Imran when they needed the password to her device.) Since then, she and other Democrats have described cyber breaches in the strongest possible terms, such as “an act of war” and “an assault on our democracy.”

Assault on our Democracy, indeed! DWS outright names her actions as seditious by the most serious data breach in US history, allowing foreign actors access to the most secret domestic information.

This is what a "privileged user" such as DWS must adhere to:

The Democrats are walking a tightrope here, one side on survival, the other on destruction and imprisonment.

The power plays here necessary for Dem survival:
1. Keep control of Rosentstein
2. Keep Rosenstein in control of DOJ
3. Let Mueller run his wasteful, non-productive instigation as long as he can
4. Forestall a second special prosecutor
5. Keep HRC out of the spotlight

The pyramid topples if Rosenstein is removed or coerced by Trump into stopping this probe into nowhere and nothing.
