Does anyone remember a Special Prosecutor, an investigation into “stolen” Democratic emails and who knew, participated, and benefited from them?
CNN, in a slight bow to non-fake news, reports that an IRS investigator has been charged for providing confidential bank records of the former personal attorney to President Trump, Michael Cohen, to creep-turned-porn lawyer, Michael Avenatti.
The analyst, John C. Fry, was charged with the unauthorized disclosure of a document called a suspicious activity report, which banks file when they review transactions that raise red flags. CNN previously reported that the Justice Department was investigating the leak last year of the confidential reports related to Cohen’s banking activity. Fry, an investigative analyst with the IRS’s law enforcement arm, is accused of turning over the reports in the spring of 2018 to an attorney, Michael Avenatti, and of confirming confidential banking information in them to a reporter for The New Yorker, according to the complaint, which was filed under seal earlier this month.
According to the article:
About 20 minutes after Fry began accessing the reports, he placed two calls to a number associated with Avenatti, the complaint says, and shortly thereafter, Fry attempted to access two other Cohen-connected suspicious activity reports that the system told him were “unavailable.” According to the complaint, several days later Fry again called Avenatti, and Avenatti subsequently “used his public Twitter account to circulate a dossier releasing confidential banking information related to Cohen and his company Essential Consultants.”
So this rogue IRS agent accesses confidential banking records of a private citizen – for no good reason – and then almost immediately calls the (in)famous porn lawyer hellbent on being on prime time news and, to that end, engaging in relentless attacks on the President. Hmm.
Was IRS bad-guy being directed by Avenatti or just doing his “civic duty” in the model of
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page? Did money change hands? And, as a lawyer, don’t you think for just a second that Avenatti knew that his IRS source was doing something . . . what’s the word I’m looking for . . . . oh yes,
illegal?
With all the millions being spent on a Special Prosecutor’s investigation into some purloined Democrat emails, can anyone tell me why Avenatti hasn’t been charged as a conspirator in this matter?
And, more to the point, can anyone imagine a bigger hell-on-earth scenario than an IRS agent and Michael Avenatti in the same cell?
