A U.S. Treasury Department official has been criminally charged with leaking confidential documents relating to former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, the Russian embassy and others, to a reporter from digital media company BuzzFeed, Manhattan federal prosecutors announced on Wednesday.

Natalie May Edwards, a senior adviser in the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), was arrested on Tuesday and charged with unauthorized disclosure of suspicious activity reports, according to the office of U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman. She was expected to make an initial appearance in Virginia federal court later in the day.

The Obama crowd (never expecting to lose) left a huge paper trail----
soon as they occupied the WH, Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury.....
ponder that...... Rham was Obama's COS AND controlled Treasury.

"Mr President, you are now in complete control of the US Treasury."

==========================================

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move. When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials.

“When she was arrested, Edwards was in possession of a flash drive containing the confidential reports, prosecutors said.”

She should get extra time in jail for just being stupid.

She had a cush Civil Service job, guaranteed for life basically, at what was no doubt a 6 figure salary (senior advisers don’t work cheap), and now she’s facing prison time. Smart she ain’t.

I hope they go for max sentence, felony. Time to start paying the piper.

[JewishRighter]

The question is, who was she doing this for (or against)?

I think there is more to come.

Four Mueller prosecutors left “unexpectedly” in the last 6 weeks.

I guess she is Native American...

Maybe: “Dr. Edwards is the first Native American Indian whose family stayed in the Commonwealth of Virginia, raised participating in tribal affairs, and received her formal education through the Virginia public school system to earn the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.”

A real genius at work there.

A SENIOR Advisor? This should be jail. I'll bet she was a Obama holdover, anyone know this yet?

[SpeedyInTexas]

There was an un-indicted co-conspirator who sent 300 message to a reporter.

Interesting why that person wasn’t indicted also. Guessing it was her husband???

[SpeedyInTexas]

Actually the un-indicted co-conspirator was an Associate Director at FinCEN who Edwards reported to.

Still reading the indictment...
