    US Treasury employee arrested, accused of leaking media secret information about suspicious financial transactions related to Paul Manafort

    Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards Illegally Photographed SARs and Other Sensitive Government Information and Transmitted Them To Reporter In Connection With Approximately 12 News Articles Over 1-Year Period.

    Federal officials today announced today the filing of a criminal complaint charging Natalie Edwards, a/k/a “Natalie Sours,” who is a Senior Advisor at the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network1 (“FinCEN”), with unlawfully disclosing Suspicious Activity Reports (“SARs”) and conspiracy to do the same. Edwards was arrested yesterday and will be presented this afternoon in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

    According to the Complaint filed yesterday in Manhattan federal court:

    Beginning in approximately October 2017, and lasting until the present, Edwards unlawfully disclosed numerous SARs to a reporter (“Reporter-1”), the substance of which were published over the course of approximately 12 articles by a news organization for which Reporter-1 wrote (“News Organization-1”). The illegally disclosed SARs pertained to, among other things, Paul Manafort, Richard Gates, the Russian Embassy, Mariia Butina, and Prevezon Alexander. Edwards had access to each of the pertinent SARs and saved them – along with thousands of other files containing sensitive government information – to a flash drive provided to her by FinCEN. She transmitted the SARs to Reporter-1 by means that included taking photographs of them and texting the photographs to Reporter-1 over an encrypted application. In addition to disseminating SARs to Reporter-1, Edwards sent Reporter-1 internal FinCEN emails appearing to relate to SARs or other information protected by the BSA, and FinCEN non-public memoranda, including Investigative Memos and Intelligence Assessments published by the FinCEN Intelligence Division, which contained confidential personal, business, and/or security threat assessments.

    At the time of her arrest, she was in possession of a flash drive appearing to be the flash drive on which she saved the unlawfully disclosed SARs, and a cellphone containing numerous communications over an encrypted application in which she transmitted SARs and other sensitive government information to Reporter-1......snip~

    Sessions needs to go out with a bang. Hook up at least 5 or 6 of these people that are Never Trumpers. At least he can say he did something then.

    I still think sessions is a swamp dweller and not a swamp drainer. It's to late. A few small fish won't change my mind when he is fishing in a swamp full of monsters.

    This arrest is not enough. We need the White House leakers, plus those in the FBI and DOJ.

    I'm always of two minds on leakers.

    Lots of huge revelations and exposure of corruption comes from leakers. Nixon, NSA spying, etc..

    But your breaking the contract you signed and contravening the law which should be met with appropriate punishment.

    So i guess I'm for it, but if you get caught, don't expect any sympathy.

    Well nobody can defend someone except a defense lawyer. So yeah, if you get caught, expect to get punished. But I'm not going to ignore leaked information that exposes corruption or other such nefarious actions against the people.

    It isn't sedition. Telling the press about the fact that the incoming Administration has been plotting with the Russians is patriotic. And that is the way the history will be written, when this rotten bunch leaves (if we still have a democracy left).

    To play God with info is pretty narcissistic. People in charge of such info must be held to a higher standard. They might think they are helping...

    I agree. Which is why I have no problem charging leakers with the crimes they have broken. You never know if your going to end up helping or hurting. But, if someone does leak then that information needs to be assessed and if its exposing corruption or other crimes, then it needs to be used against those committing those crimes.

    So you've decided that's "fact" now? You are welcome to your opinions.
    Just don't confuse your wishes for facts, okay?

    History will be written in all sorts of contexts. The factual history of this era and the way you wish it were.

    Still holding your breath waiting for Robert The Inquisitor Mueller to save you?

    They aren't. But they're all in for the con man that they pushed for the White House job, knowing that he would accomplish every dream they ever had for American decline and loss of power and influence.

    So far, their wildest dreams are coming true. Putin trolled Trump in front of the entire world just a few months ago, right after Kim Jong Un did. Xi will too.

    The Russian dream has always been for American democracy to dissolve into regional and ideological factions, hamstringing the government. They dreamed of a US that would abandon its role as a world leader. They dreamed of driving wedges between the US and its major western allies.

    Donald Trump has delivered on all points.

    And he has done it while demeaning and debasing his own office. When a President get into twitter battles with porn stars, they can hardly be expected to be seen as anything other than a buffoon by the adults in the world community. But Trump lowers himself every chance he gets.

    If Russia's goal was to reverse America's managed decline, they did it. Pretty dumb of them.

    Not Sedition, BLASPHEMY,...she dared impugn the GOD-EMPEROR, BURN THE WITCH, BURN HER WITH FIRE.

    The height of irony would be that she gets a cell next to Fat Don.

    That you people call yourselves Americans makes me sick.

    He was named as a co-conspirator but not officially arrested.
