A former top Treasury Department official pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy for leaking confidential banking reports associated with members of the Trump campaign, following her dramatic arrest in October 2018 as she toted a flash drive full of sensitive documents.
Natalie Edwards, 41, entered the plea in Manhattan federal court, where U.S. District Judge Gregory H. Woods set sentencing for June 9. Although the conspiracy charge carried a potential penalty of up to five years in prison, Edwards signed a plea deal with prosecutors that recommended a potential prison sentence of zero to six months.(Prosecuters are probably Democrats too)
Edwards was a senior adviser at Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, also known as FinCEN. Prosecutors said her crime began in October 2017 and continued for a year, with Edwards sending a BuzzFeed News reporter numerous Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). Banks must file SARs with the Treasury Department when they spot transactions raising questions about possible financial misconduct such as money laundering, but federal law strictly limited their disclosure.
The SARs related to wire transfers made by Paul Manafort and other figures in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, including campaign official Richard Gates, Maria Butina and the Russian Embassy.

Lois Lerner would be proud of Ms Edwards.
If the same thing was done to any big dem, the perp might be lucky enough to get life in solitary.

Who was President at that time?
Who was the presumed President-elect at that time?
Who was signing off on FISA warrants at that time?
Who was posting on 4chan at that time?
Law and order has completely broken down in this country.

There is a lot of this, and we don’t hear about it because the corrupt media suppresses it. There are huge numbers of democrat-sympathizers employed in public offices. They willingly use their work access to view sensitive information that is not work related. They pass the information on for money, or out of loyalty. They are hardly ever prosecuted.
They’re everywhere...
"traitors and cowards."

"traitors and cowards."
Why the plea deal, what did we get in return?

We hope!
Trump was President in Oct. of 2017, Cletis.
Every morning I begin the day a little more likely to participate.
When do we peasants start getting some of this government employee type justice? Remember during the Clinton years when one of their cronies was caught with his pants and socks stuffed with government documents and didn’t get any jail time? Its Democrat Justice Lite, and its been going on a long time.
I was trying hard not to use a common saying among the members of a forgotten FR thread about “they never thought she would lose.”
Yeah, got mind-congested about the calendar but the intent was to point to the genesis of the coup (the rest of my questions)
Copies made and distributed to the DNC.
A non-apology apology. The court and the judge do not care. they weren't your target you scumbag!.............
