Treasury OIG? That tells me the info came probably from Fincin in treasury dept or from some office they sent the detailed info to. This is way too soon for this info to have come from the search warrant. My guess the info was part of basis for the search warrant.
Absolutely. They have all of his records and then they bring in SME’s that know how to comb thru spreadsheets and financial reports, looking for irregularities.
Doubtful any of the FBI agents would know a financial report from a diner menu.
This whole charade is exposing more than just the level of corruption of some high level, elitists in our government. It’s also exposing the fact that the FBI has worn out it’s usefulness. They investigate crimes that other agencies investigate, as well, and do it better, as that specific crime is the only one they focus on.
FBI has a unit that goes after fugitives ... US Marshal’s do it better
FBI has a unit that goes after financial crimes ... IRS and Treasury do it better
FBI has units that go after terrorism ... DHS has the same units. We don’t need two, doing the same job.
FBI has units that go after drugs ... DEA does it better
FBI has units that go after gangs ... Since the gangs are violent, use weapons, ATF can do it better.
Notice, I didn’t say that any of them were All Stars. Hardly. But, each one has a specific mandate, so they can focus all their time and energy on that mandate. The FBI, from Ruby Ridge - Waco - Malheur Preserve - FBI Evidence Lab scandal - Entrapment cases - list can go on, has proven that they aren’t all that good at their job. Might be time for some examination into what they really do.
