Despite losing her freedom and most, if not all, of her family’s finances waging a legal fight...

This is how they do it. Bleed you to death.

Did I miss something in this horrible, sloppy reporting?

I can’t find the date she did this or under whose administration.

and that prosecutors had set out to destroy his family in order to set an example.

A legitimate purpose of the criminal justice system is to deter illegal conduct. She abused her office to publicly disclose private financial and other data.

Leaking a classified document is treason. She’s lucky she wasn’t shot.

attacks on whistle-blowers continue.

Americans mask:
Why should not the attackers face a death sentence?

I guess only Eric Ciaramella and Colonel Flounder get protection.

“....revealed how banks file SARs and then continue to process and profit off suspicious payments, thereby facilitating criminal activity while enriching themselves and shareholders. The US government collects the SARs, but does not force the banks to shut the money laundering down.”

Her actions were stupid. Banks are required to file suspicious activity reports with the government, and wait to hear back - that’s how the anti-money-laundering system works. If the government tells them to close the account, then they close the account. If the government asks them to help investigate, they help with the investigation.

There is literally nothing to see here.

Never heard about this. Media never picked up on it. Imagine that.

In a sane world, Republicans in Congress would not have allowed this.

In an insane world, a group of folks would descend on the prison and get her out and she’d be treated as a hero.

But we live in neither.

I’m sure many knee jerk reactions are that she did something wrong. No one will pay attention to what the banks and their Congressional puppets are doing.

It’s like Snowden and Assange.

They leaked sh*t.

Well they leaked all the dirty sh*t our government is doing.

I don’t care, they leaked sh*t. They’re commies.

She exposed illegal activities.

Are you ok with what Snowden did ?

Only this...”Prosecutors charged her in connection with a dozen BuzzFeed News stories from 2017 and 2018 that cited SARs...”

This whole Buzzfeed series about this woman is typical of standard, leftist “narrative” journalism.

Its long on story-telling - mood, setting, character development, conflict, emotional investment - and short on pure facts.

She basically blew the whistle on the deep state raking in the big bucks from illegal activities managed by banks.

The d'OHJ went after her instead of shutting down the crimes she was reporting.

“Leaking a classified document is treason.”

No it’s not. Treason requires there to be collusion with some foreign enemy. Just leaking documents to a domestic journalist is not going to meet that standard.

“There is literally nothing to see here.”

Except maybe that the government knows the full scope of global money laundering operations and still does nothing to stop them... that might be a little bit of information valuable to the “public interest”.
