As discussed yesterday, the story of the Muslim brothers working as IT staffers in Congress who have been accused of inappropriate access has taken quite a turn. Luke Rosiak continues to stay on it.
Yesterday he revealed that the Pakistani brothers had taken a $100K loan from a mysterious Dr. Ali Attar. Now he has information on just who Ali Attar might be.
Imran Awan and four of his relatives were employed as information technology (IT) aides by dozens of House Democrats, including members of the intelligence, foreign affairs and homeland security committees. The aides’ administrator-level IT access was terminated earlier this month amid a criminal probe by U.S. Capitol Police of a suspected security breach, including an off-site server housing congressional data.
The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has reported that while working for Congress, the Pakistani brothers controlled a limited liability corporation called Cars International A (CIA), a car dealership with odd finances, which took–and was unable to repay–a $100,000 loan from Dr. Ali Al-Attar.
Attar had lived in this country and practiced the traditional trade of Medicare and Medicaid fraud (since he had a medical degree, he didn't need to smuggle cigarettes or trade food stamps for lottery tickets), was raided by the FBI, indicted by the IRS, wanted by the courts and fled to Iraq.
He was also allegedly meeting with a Hezbollah leader. Since Iraq is increasingly controlled by Iran, this raises certain obvious questions.
Ali Al-Attar appears to have originally come from Iran. He is very clearly Shiite. He has links to Hezbollah, an Iranian backed terror group. And men funded by him had access to the computers of top Democrats with access to classified information. And material was copied to an off site server.
We have a serious problem here.
