The top Treasury Department employee who was arrested and charged by federal authorities with leaking confidential financial documents pertaining to former Trump officials was apprehended with a flash drive containing the allegedly pilfered information in her hand, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The dramatic arrest came on the heels of other high-profile, leak-related prosecutions under the Trump administration, which has pledged to go on the offensive against leakers that the president has called "traitors and cowards."
Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards, 40, a senior official at the department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), is accused of illegally giving a reporter bank reports documenting several suspicious financial transactions, known as Suspicious Activity Reports (“SARs”), from October 2017 to the present.

Really?
The fines should be hefty. Enough to bankrupt her and her family. Let her husband and children suffer from her stupidity.
She should exit prison in 10 years to a family that is utterly destitute.
She just has too much face for those beady little eyes.
Let the rule of law prevail!
Financial Crimes Enforcement, eh? Methinks Mme. will have a fine time in prison with those she and her colleagues sent there first.
Drain the Swamp!........................
The plea deal should bear interesting fruit.
“Mutiple felonies”
Not for this brave resistor, she’ll get the Sessions DOJ Shuffle. Slap on the wrist is all and maybe lose her job.
The plea deal should bear interesting fruit.
Great minds think alike. I hope she talks, and tells everything she knows. This thing runs really, really deep.
That security clearance will be one ugly bitch in the future.
Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, where the criminal complaint was filed, said Edwards “betrayed her position of trust by repeatedly disclosing highly sensitive information.”
Born guilty.
Not bulimic!
“federal magistrate judge Theresa Buchanan released Edwards on her own personal recognizance on Wednesday, subject to the custody of her parents. She and her parents also signed a $100,000 bond as part of her release. “
40 years old, senior Treasury financial crimes official...and she’s demanded to the custody of her parents and mommy and daddy had to co-sign the bond?
Something’s screwy here.
Educated White females have gone nuts these days.
She's apparently posted anti-Hillary stuff and pro-Kavanaugh stuff online.
This may or may not be cut and dry.
Who did the leaks benefit, and who did they harm?
Clearly not a Trump voter.
Wait’ll CNN gets ahold of this!!!
Wow, they were way ahead of her and just waiting for her to move.
So is her boss, who is likely CC-1 in the indictment.
