IRS analyst John Fry leaked Michael Cohen financial documents to Michael Avenatti. He was also an anonymous source for Ronan Farrow for a ridiculous story that tried to justify the leak of the docs. dailycaller.com/2019/02/21/irs… @dailycaller
Farrow reported that the leaker was "motivated" to leak b/c some Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) were missing from Michael Cohen's file. Leaker (Fry) thought this was a cover up. Turns out that the docs were pulled b/c they were part of ongoing investigation. Irony.
Here's Farrow's article: newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
Kind of interesting how both he and Avenatti should have stopped while they were ahead

Christopher Steele's dossier claims that Michael Cohen's father in law is Russian and that his name is Efim Shusterman. The same Steele sub-source provided intel on Carter Page. But Cohen's FIL is Fima Shusterman, and he's Ukrainian. dailycaller.com/2019/02/25/mic… @dailycaller
BuzzFeed redacted out this part of the dossier. Top is an unredacted copy recently unsealed in the Gubarev case. Bottom is what BuzzFeed published.
Here's another section from the same memo, dated Oct. 18, 2016. BuzzFeed acknowledged in its initial writeup that the Bavrikha claim is wrong: it's not an enclave for the wealthy. BF didn't acknowledge that Shusterman was named & that that intel was inaccurate.

EXCLUSIVE: Disgraced FBI Officials Claimed ‘Insurance Policy’ Text Was About Whether To ‘Burn Longstanding Sources’ dailycaller.com/2019/02/22/str… via @dailycaller
Lisa Page and Peter Strzok offered a detailed explanation of their "insurance policy" text message. Both claimed to Congress that they were debating whether to ramp up Crossfire Hurricane at the risk of exposing a "very sensitive" source.
Lisa Page said the source was a "longstanding" source. She also said FBI officials were worried that opening the source up to exposure might hurt future Russia-related investigations, though not so much the Trump probe.

Interesting -- IRS analyst John Fry told FBI in Nov. 26 interview that Ronan Farrow called him to verify information he had been provided by Avenatti. Avenatti gave Farrow the name of his source. dailycaller.com/2019/02/21/irs… @dailycaller
So Avenatti releases the info supplied by Fry, and Farrow swoops in and does a BS article trying to rationalize and justify Fry's rationale for leaking.
Maybe Avenatti returned the favor by publicizing Julie Swetnick after Farrow's Deborah Ramirez disaster

Federal authorities just charged IRS agent John Fry with illegally leaking Michael Cohen’s bank records to creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti. CNN for some reason refused to include Fry’s name in its writeup of his indictment. cnn.com/2019/02/21/pol…
CNN’s strange editorial decision to withhold John Fry’s name from its article about his indictment for illegally leaking bank records to Michael Avenatti kinda makes you wonder if Fry was an undisclosed source for CNN reporting on Cohen. Any thoughts,
@KaraScannell?
@KaraScannell Per an affidavit from the Treasury Inspector General, Fry illegally leaked Cohen’s records to both Avenatti and @RonanFarrow, who used the leaks as the basis for error-ridden and inaccurate article claiming that Cohen’s bank records were “missing” from a government database.

1) What Did Mark Warner & Maxine Waters Know, & When Did They Know It

On 04/05/17, Jamal El-Hindi, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network Acting Director, personally provided "an overview of FinCEN’s mission to Sen. Warner and members of his staff."
2) 05/23/17: Rep Maxine Waters, House Financial Services Committee ranking member wrote Tres Sec Mnuchin demanding FinCEN provide any records of President Trump’s financial ties to Russia "including money laundering, sanctions, Foreign Corrupt Practices & Logan Act violations."
3) On 01/10/18, Waters wrote Tres Sec Mnuchin again, accusing him of directing subordinates "to obscure, destroy, or withhold information implicating the President, Trump campaign officials, family members or associates."

Best takedown of this entire situation I've read yet

"But the idea that the country should convict him and destroy his life with no evidence other than recovered and uncorroborated memories and creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti’s say-so is quite insane"
thefederalist.com/2018/09/24/the…
"The hearings ricocheted from interesting discussions of judicial philosophy to clownish “I am Spartacus” moments and radical abortion protesters screaming about their love of killing unborn children."

🔥🔥🔥

Let's not all forget what lead up to this moment. Great article
"Republicans on the Judiciary Committee — in part thanks to Sen. Jeff Flake, cowering in the face of a smear campaign — bent over backwards to accommodate the first accuser, no matter how outlandish her requests to delay the hearing."
