#1 What does 'linked' mean.

#2 What does 'linked' mean.

That even though 123@mail.house.gov is assigned to the staffer, it is being used by Imran Awan? Imran therefore still as authentication capabilities to Exchange Server. He can still see all email communications within house.gov if that authentication has admin rights. Being and intelligence type account, it is highly restricted to who can and who cannot know about it. Very clever.

#3 Adding a bit to Storza's expert comments, draft and archived emails, or emails sent to a non-existent address can also provide a covert communications or sharing venue if two or more parties are permitted to log onto the same account.

#4 Also, being that all phone calls are most likely VOIP (voice over ip) Imran and the Dems are also listening to all government calls over the networks. Even encrypted calls can be decrypted if you have admin rights as network administrator. This story therefore identifies the leaks are via the government network administrators allied with the Democrats.

#5 At first, I had assumed the Dems got taken by some off-brand Pakistani scam artists. But this is starting to look like an actual intelligence operation.

#6 But this is starting to look like an actual intelligence operation. Posted by SteveS

I suspect you could be safe in betting your arse and all of it's fixtures that it 'is.' The fact we're hearing so little about it in the media, DOJ, or from the do-nothing congress intelligence committees provides additional confirmation.

I would even go so far as to predict that we may one day discover the Awans were milking both intelligence agency cows. A very nasty bit of laundry, very nasty indeed.

#7 Congratulations Rantburg. This is actually networking 101 stuff, basic. And this is how everything on capital hill is being compromised. Via these system admin types, and it explains how they made so much money. They were paid by the Dems for this info.

#8 And they are doing this without a warrant which is as illegal and explains why he was trying to leave the country. By the way, Seth Rich is the type of IT guy who understands this well and was with Imran the night he was conveniently terminated.

#9 #8, I made that connection a few weeks back.

#10 Snowden, Platte River Network's remote servers, the Wasserman Schultz laptop, the Awans and other tools of the deep state, nothing will ever come of any of it. Just my hunch.

#11 using the name

123@mail.house.gov

is not a very covert thing to do

looks like a scam by a not-so-smart bunch that only worked because the democrat staffers and bosses are almost unbelievably stupid

#12 Not necessarily stupid. Follow the thread back.

1. Started as IT staffers for Indiana Democratic Rep. André Carson (the other Muslim Member of Congress, by the way.)

2. Branched out to other Members of Congress.

3. Pretty much allowed free reign.

Keep in mind that Congressional offices are run more or less independently, are not (directly) USG offices, and are more or less stretched in assets and time.

Factor in Congressional Democrats' inherent clubbish-ness, the Awan's origins into Congressional IT services, their (politically correct) background, the general ignorance by Congress into matters IT-related, the DNC and the swamp that is D.C. ...

#13 An entire platoon of Paki intelligence analysts with multiple collection managers working 24x7 could not have possibly kept up with the reporting generated by this project.

#14 I'll bet they did a damn good job of it, though. What wasn't, was likely outsourced.

#15 Wonder when we'll stop paying Pakistan, et. al.?

#16 I still think Iran may have a hand in this. That loan that was never paid back.

#17 Imran Awan was indicted on four counts including bank fraud and making false statements. It was not mentioned, for some reason in his indictment that he was apprehended while fleeing from the country. I wonder he might be looking at espionage charges?
