From the "Never give to a reporter what you don't expect to see published", files: Justice Department ARRESTS and charges senior Treasury official for LEAKING!
The Justice Department has arrested a senior Treasury department official accused of leaking highly-sensitive financial reports to a reporter looking into former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s overseas dealings as well as transactions involving the Russian embassy.
Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards, a senior advisor at the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), was charged with disclosing suspicious activity reports, known as SARs, to an unidentified reporter beginning in October 2017, authorities said.
The substance of those reports — which focused on Manafort, his former business partner Rick Gates, the Russian Embassy, alleged Russian spy Maria Butina and the Prevezon Alexander real estate company — were later detailed in roughly 12 articles that based on a search were all published by Buzzfeed, according to court documents.
...
I find it hard to believe that she claims to be a whistleblower on one hand but then suggests she didn’t know they’d be published when she gave them to a REPORTER.
She reportedly could face up to ten years in prison if convicted and it sounds like she will be convicted if she’s already admitting she is a whistleblower.
