This is the main story , not Harvey Weinstein or the tragic Las Vegas shootings which serve to distract the citizens from Pakistani penetration of our supposedly "secure" IT system in Congress. They also need to investigate further the government contractors servicing the military IT if those contractors have strong ties to hostile foreign countries whether born here or not. Also well situated government employees or Congressmen who give the impression that they are susceptible to blackmail should be relieved of their jobs till further investigation clears them as this is probably the opening that gave the Awan mob access to the IT. Why did Debbi Schultz and Gregory Meeks look the other way? Either they were paid to be ignorant or they were blackmailed or they are actively working to sabotage and subvert our democratic institutions.
Where is the FBI's mission to protect the domestic security of this nation ? Shooting at 2nd amendment supporters in Oregon or analyzing mass murderer's motives while Pakistanis are evesdropping on Congressional committees from a distance? And selling the info to the highest bidder?
