Federal prosecutors say an IRS investigator in California has admitted leaking confidential details of financial transactions by former Trump attorney Michael Cohen to Michael Avenatti, lawyer for Stormy Daniels.
John C. Fry has been charged in federal court with searching for and disseminating Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), reports filed by banks when they note potentially suspicious transactions.
Federal officials say they found telephone records that indicate Fry placed a phone call from his personal cell phone to that of Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti the day before Avenatti released details of Cohen's financial transactions, and the day after.
The federal complaint says Fry verbally admitted providing the information to Avenatti when he was confronted by federal agents.
Fry, 54, is an investigative analyst with the law enforcement arm of the IRS, the Criminal Investigative Division. He has worked for the IRS since 2008.
In a statement, Avenatti told NBC News, "I have done nothing wrong and did not violate any law whatsoever, just like reporters don’t violate the law when they do their jobs."

Felony???
How bout that.
A crooked IRS cop.
Who knew.
Might also be a felony by Avenatti.
They caught one.
Problem is, pretty much they are ALL doing this.
Lock him up along with Avenatti.
IRS, FBI until we prosecute these thugs the corruption and law breaking will continue.
Democrats are Democrat Party members first.
Being an American is way down on their list.
Doesn’t that make this evidence poisonous fruit or what ever? Is it what led to the investigation? How about the raids?
They caught one.
Problem is, pretty much they are ALL doing this.

They really are. And there is no doubt the Deep State has every financial record and every IRS report for Donald Trump since he was born.
I think about these things when I get mad at his A/G picks or his recent agreement to sign that lousy funding bill or stuff like this.
Trump - like anyone - has to play ball. Or else.
I agree. Avenatti knew this was illegal. He was an actor in the crime. Lock him up.
Who will risk Bj’s wife’s handlers’ wrath?
Any of us would be immediately arrested.
Nope, nope, nope......not nearly enough lampposts.

If his fed-gov union goes to bat for him enough, he might just stay on.
Glad this is being prosecuted. They need to send a message to IRS personnel because a lot of people will be trolling for Trump’s information the next two years.
Time to Fry Mr Fry.
