SWAMP MONSTERS: Treasury official busted for leaking financial reports on Trump campaign team

Published in Blog on October 23, 2018 by Article V Patriot

Federal bureaucrats have caused nothing but trouble for the Trump Administration, and officials recently caught yet another employee illegally leaking confidential information.

According to the Washington Times:

The Trump administration’s effort to root out leakers in the federal government bagged a top-level Treasury employee who was charged Tuesday with giving a reporter confidential information about suspicious financial transactions involving former Trump campaign officials Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, accused Russian agent Maria Butina and the Russian Embassy.

Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards, 40, of Quinton, Virginia, a senior adviser in Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, was arrested on charges of leaking numerous suspicious activity reports to a reporter, said prosecutors with the Southern District of New York.

She “betrayed her position of trust by repeatedly disclosing highly sensitive information contained in Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to an individual not authorized to receive them,” said Geoffrey Berman, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Our nation's capital is too big, corrupt, and incompetent to institute the kinds of reforms we need. The states and the people must assert their rightful place, and they can do it with an Article V Convention of States.

A Convention of States is controlled by the states and has the power to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution. These amendments can do what one President and Congress can never do: restructure the balance of power between D.C. and the states, and shrink the jurisdiction of federal agencies.

Petition your state legislator

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.

What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:
