Imran Awan’s still-active email address is linked to the name of a House staffer who specializes in intelligence and homeland security matters for Indiana Democratic Rep. André Carson. Court documents and emails obtained by TheDCNF show Awan used the address 123@mail.house.gov in addition to his standard imran.awan@mail.house.gov account. […]
Until last year, email addresses were created by individual offices, but now members have to request HIR to set up new addresses. Carson’s office is not showing any concern that an indicted IT guy apparently set up a secret email address using the name of his deputy chief of staff, who is also his top intelligence staffer, and that the account is still active. Since the account was still accepting emails as of Tuesday afternoon, it appears Carson’s office has not alerted anyone of the security vulnerability.
A Democratic IT aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of job concerns, told TheDCNF that Awan and Carson used to play video games together in Carson’s office, and that he had been teaching Carson a foreign language. Gail did not dispute either claim.
Or interesting.
It’s so obvious every government in the USA is full of Obama/Clinton operatives,Trump must start firing at will.The person who refused the FOIA request should be out of a job ,today.
No public interest? That’s a joke,a bad joke.
The right really needs to learn how computers work instead of displaying their ignorance.
That a clearly rogue email address is still accepting emails from outside instead of immediately bouncing them back is indicative of nothing. It doesn’t mean Imran Awan or his compatriots still have access to the emails in that account, it doesn’t mean there’s a leak. Far and away the most likely explanation is that the computer forensics team is monitoring the hell out of that mailbox for any clues to what may have been exposed or what Awan et. al. are currently up to.
And if they were doing that, directing the people in Carson’s office to answer all questions with non-committal non-answers would be part of it, to avoid tipping off any bad actors who still think the account is uncompromised.
The confusion is understandable – from the outside, it’s impossible to tell whether the computer security team is devastatingly incompetent or monitoring and controlling the back doors as a honeypot, because that’s the whole point. But if DCNF had spent five minutes chatting with an actual computer forensics specialist they could have put this into perspective.
How strange, Rep. Andre Carson is also pretty hot for Islam in schools::
““America will never tap into educational innovation and ingenuity without looking at the model that we have in our madrassas, in our schools, where innovation is encouraged, where the foundation is the Quran. And that model that we are pushing in some of our schools meets the multiple needs of students.””

“The right…displaying their ignorance.”
Dan, if I wanted to gather a bucket of stupid I’d head to the left and fill it in a minute rather than searching around the right for hours.
What more evidence do we need for the URGENT and NECESSARY Roto-rootering of the Deep State? Even the FBI has been thoroughly infiltrated. Our institutions are on the shakiest foundations EVER since the American Civil War. Trump SAVE us !!! Don’t let the GOPe divert your (your voters) focus.
Sure Daniel Ream!
But maybe the following is still relevant.
I guess the FBI – Democrat – Clinton Foundation Collusion is still in Effect.
Is former F.B.I. Director Comey still telling the Mid-Level Minion Managers at the Federal Bureau of Investigation what to do and what words received from Bubba-Bill are to be used?
OR
Is the FBI of Today confident they have Terrorized the Sovereign American Ordinary Citizen enough to let the FBI do what ever it Wants.
Seems to me Former Congressman Paul is correct in determining the FBI has become much to Powerful to be allowed to carry Hand Guns on their Person.
One must believe the necessity to have the Local Police Force provide security for The FBI Field Agents will improve general communications and at least have some reduction in the power of the FBI.
Mikey, I don’t know if Daniel is correct or not, butt I do know that the FBI and CIA have been doing as they please for 50 years or more, and it’ doesn’t matter who runs the damn place, both side of the political aisle is corrupt as hell, and will cover for the other side, as they want mutual consideration. 63 Kennedy was shot, and a lie is still the official meme. Several past presidents were involved before, during, and after the fact. Do you really think that the Bushes best buddy, Hillary isn’t protected by the whole system. Trump scares the hell out of both Dems and GOP.
“In the end, the FBI didn’t recommend charges against Mrs. Clinton, concluding that while she risked national security, she was too technologically inept to know the dangers she was running, so no case could be made against her.”
Yeah, you know… the whole “ignorance of the law” thing is only for the little people.
I guess the whole world should be ignorant.
