CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 22, 2018
SHOULD YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE THAT THE “DEEP STATE” EXISTS AND THAT IT HAS TRIED TO UNDERMINE PRESIDENT TRUMP SINCE HIS INAUGURATION, HERE IT IS.
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS CHARGED A TREASURY DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE WITH GIVING A REPORTER CONFIDENTIAL BANKING REPORTS TIED TO FORMER TRUMP CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN PAUL MANAFORT, ALLEGED RUSSIAN AGENT MARIA BUTINA AND OTHER SUSPECTS CHARGED IN SPECIAL COUNSEL ROBERT MUELLER’S RUSSIA INVESTIGATION.
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS SAY NATALIE MAYFLOWER SOURS EDWARDS LEAKED THE MATERIAL TO A JOURNALIST NOT NAMED IN THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT. EDWARDS IS A SENIOR OFFICIAL AT TREASURY’S FINANCIAL CRIMES ENFORCEMENT NETWORK, AN IRONY IF I EVER HEARD ONE. SHE IS CHARGED WITH TRYING TO CONCEAL HER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE REPORTER. SHE FIRST DENIED HAVING ANY CONTACTS WITH THE MEDIA, BUT ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS, SUBSEQUENTLY CONFESSED.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS STEPPED-UP EFFORTS TO STOP THESE LEAKS. ONE HOPES THEY WILL SUCCEED AND THAT THE EDWARDS CASE IS JUST THE BEGINNING. I’M CAL THOMAS.
