Rich Delmar, counsel to the inspector general, said that in response to media reports the office is “inquiring into allegations” that Suspicious Activity Reports on Cohen’s banking transactions were “improperly disseminated.”

There’s 3 different Cohens and 3 different payments....someone has access to EVERY bank transfer in the US and they leaked.

As bad as Mueller is, this is as bad.

Accounting majors....not accountants.

College kids that don’t know a spreadsheet from a comic book, who think it’d be cool to have a gun, badge and couldn’t/wouldn’t pass the CPA exam.

I said “better” than the FBI, that doesn’t translate into, actually being good at ones job. Like anything else, there’s a bar that sets the standard.

And given what we’ve seen so far, that bar is pretty damn low.
