“I greatly appreciate my friend, colleague-- actually, dear friend--Steve King, and his points he is making--right on track. I hesitated for a number of days now about making public reference to this, but it needs to be addressed and it needs to be looked at, and people need to be aware so that mistakes do not continue to be made. This is a story from John Stanton, February 2, 2017, BuzzFeed: ``Congressional IT Staff Under Investigation In Alleged Procurement Scam.'' And this is February 2, so several days ago--5 days ago. It says: ``A lawmaker briefed on the matter had said House officials had told staff from affected offices that contractors had been arrested, but late Thursday night US Capitol Police spokesperson Eva Malecki told BuzzFeed News that no arrest had been made. The USCP is investigating House IT support staff.'' Now, that is the technologically proficient staff members that work on congressional computers, that work on our technology, so it was quite disturbing to see this some days back. This says: ``Five men who had access to the House of Representatives' entire computer network are under investigation Thursday evening following a months-long investigation by federal law enforcement officials, according to a lawmaker briefed on the raid.'' Well, it sure wasn't me because I didn't know anything about this until I read it a few days ago.…”
