House Report Concluded Pakistanis Made ‘Unauthorized Access’ To Congressional Servers
House investigators concluded that Democratic IT aides made unauthorized access to congressional servers in 2016, allegedly accessing the data of members for whom they did not work, logging in as members of Congress themselves, and covering their tracks, according to a presentation summarizing the findings of a four-month internal probe.
Their behavior mirrored a “classic method for insiders to exfiltrate data from an organization,” and they continued even after orders to stop, the briefing materials allege. There are indications that numerous members’ data may have been secretly residing not on their designated servers, but instead aggregated onto one server, according to the briefing and other sources. Authorities said that the entire server was then physically stolen.
When acting on the findings, Democratic leadership appear to have misrepresented the issue to their own members as solely a matter of theft, a comparison of the investigators’ findings with Democrats’ recollections and a committee’s public statement shows, leading 44 Democrats to not conduct protective measures typically taken after a breach — including informing constituents whose personal information may have been exposed. (A list of the involved members is below.)

I'm sure this has been theorized before on here, but I don't remember ever seeing it.
But, could the Awans have played a role in Seth Rich's death? Or been involved somehow? How much did he know?

It would be interesting to find out who they were forwarding the information to in Pakistan..
Glad Trump cut the foreign aid package to Pakistan and hope all the talk about indictments for the wrong doers in the states is more than just talk.

I wonder if we will see a 'one-two' punch here?
Something else big comes out while they are trying to explain this away.... maybe?
