Alvi (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-02563)).

Imran Awan and his family were banned from the House computer network in February 2017 after the House’s top law enforcement officer wrote that Imran is "an ongoing and serious risk to the House of Representatives, possibly threatening the integrity of our information systems," and that a server containing evidence had gone "missing." The inspector general said server logs showed "unauthorized access" and procurement records were falsified.

Imran Awan was Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s top information technology aide. Most lawmakers fired Awan in February, but Wasserman Schultz kept him on until he was arrested in July, trying to board a flight for Pakistan.

#1 A non-governmental watch group must sue the "Department of Justice" via FOIA time and time again, in order to discover the truth.

What stronger evidence is needed to illustrate that our republic is in peril.

What good would Christopher Steele or Carter Page data be if you had no mechanism to push it to the other side ?

#4 I bet whatever they get is redacted to the point where nobody can make heads or tails of it. Any takers?

Didn't think so.

#6 Well you'd have to be quite naive to assume Brennan and company were not fully aware (and exploiting) a family of Paki's living in Woodbridge, VA. for years. Not to mention the used car lot in Falls Church.

Redacted? Yes, lots and lots of black ink.
