House Committee members compromised by rogue IT staff: Abid, Imran and Jamal Awan
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2017 03:13 pm

How well were these three brothers vetted before they were hired? Or would any serious vetting process have been “Islamophobic”? Did whoever does the hiring for the House Intelligence Committee, or whoever hired them, share the Left’s prevailing assumptions that they were Muslims (if they even are) and therefore part of a victim class that […]
