Ooooops!! Looks like Mouthanatti's mouth may have come back to bite him in his own arse. After his typical, attention-$#@! presse, where he revealed details of Michael Cohen's PRIVATE BANKING RECORDS, suddenly the same question I raised yesterday, to wit: "HOW TH did Mouthanatti gain access to PRIVATE BANKING RECORDS without Cohen's approval?" IS NOT BEING LOOKED INTO BY THE TREASURY DEPT. OIG.
This data was either leaked by the bank; HACKED...or GIVEN TO MOUTHANATTI by LAW ENFORCEMNT IN POSESSION of the RECORDS..akq: The Witch Hunt, which would be a flagrant PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT on its part.
Mouthanatti better get his story together.
Treasury inspector launches probe into possible leak of Cohen’s banking records
WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department’s inspector general is investigating whether confidential banking information related to a company controlled by President Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen may have been leaked, a spokesman said.
Rich Delmar, counsel to the inspector general, said that in response to media reports the office is “inquiring into allegations” that Suspicious Activity Reports on Cohen’s banking transactions were “improperly disseminated.”
Detailed claims about Cohen’s banking history were made public Tuesday by Michael Avenatti, an attorney for Stormy Daniels, the adult-film star who was paid $130,000 by Cohen shortly before the 2016 election to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump.
On Twitter, Avenatti circulated a dossier that purports to show that Cohen was hired last year by the U.S.-based affiliate of a Russian company owned by Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian business magnate who attended Trump’s inauguration and was recently subjected to sanctions by the U.S. government. The affiliate, New York investment firm Columbus Nova, confirmed the payment, saying it was for consulting on investments and other matters, but denied any involvement by Vekselberg.
In an interview, Avenatti declined to reveal the source of his information.
“The source or sources of our information is our work product, and nobody’s business,” Avenatti said. “They can investigate all they want, but what they should be doing is releasing to the American public the three Suspicious Activity Reports filed on Michael Cohen’s account. Why are they hiding this information?”
On Tuesday night, Avenatti told CNN’s Anderson Cooper: “There’s been some criticism of our media strategy and how often I’m on CNN and how often I’ve been on your show and other networks. It’s working. It’s working in spades. Because we’re so out front on this, people send us information, people want to help our cause. People contact us with information.”
“This has the appearance of a leak,” said Daniel P. Stipano, former deputy chief counsel in the Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. “It shouldn’t happen, but things leak.”
