[quote=Anonymous]Interesting article in Forbes.  Imran Awan, and the others in his family who were hired to work for several Dems in Congress, were not on any of the approved list of IT companies.  This is not surprising.

[quote]None of the six officially vetted IT firms that do work for congressional offices employed Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s (D-FL) now indicted IT aide, Imran Awan. This is odd, as congressional offices are given a pre-approved list of tech firms to work with for IT support.

U.S. Senate offices typically have a fulltime employee on staff that handles IT, but most of the 435 congressmen in the U.S. House of Representatives don’t require that much technical support. They typically hire IT professionals from an approved list of companies as they need them and often use them as “shared” employees with other congressional offices.

Imran Awan, nor or his family members and other associates who are now being investigated by Capitol Police, were employed as current or former employees by these vetted firms, say congressional sources.

Capitol Police so far haven’t responded to questions about how this vetting process for IT professional works; however, it has long been known that some have been slipping through with little scrutiny.[/quote][/quote]
