Mnuchin says Cohen's financial records are missing

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said financial records of President Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen appear to be missing from his agency and the inspector general is investigating.

"Our inspector general is reviewing the issue of leaks. There is the appearance that some of the information may have gone out," Mnuchin told the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday.

The New Yorker last week wrote about a law enforcement official who released documents to the media about Cohen's banking records because he thought the information was being hidden.

"There is no excuse whatsoever for anybody who has access to these important systems to release information on an unauthorized basis,​"​ Mnuchin said.

Yes, this is the NY Post -- but I don't see other reports yet.

Up till now, all I've seen are reports that it is possible for documents to be "hidden" on the system. I wonder if Mnuchin really used the word "missing" or if that was just the reporter?

1. There can't be too many people who could have access...

Shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

12. Look for Mikey's dirty fingerprints. Or maybe Dirty Stevie's.

2. That headline is misleading as all get out.

He didn't say they were missing.

"There is the appearance that some of the information may have gone out..."

Yeah, well we knew that they "appeared" to be missing by looky-loos cruising the database.

At the end of the day, the underlying bank transactions themselves can't be "erased".

He added that procedures do exist at Treasury to “suppress important information” for law enforcement reasons, but would not comment on “whether this was or was not done” with the Suspicious Activity Reports on Cohen’s accounts​ in a Treasury database.​

Because if it was done, then he couldn't comment on it anyway.

The headline goes way beyond the substance of the article.

4. All I can say is "Are you F*cking Kidding us?'

Mnuchin still hasn't answered Maxine Waters query about this.

6. Keep in mind that Briody had his "good friend" Mnuchin, help out with sanctions against Qatar.

as revealed in that stunning report by AP, where George Nader, a convicted pedophile, and Briody, with the help of Mnuchin in his role as Treasury Sec. conspired to hep the Saudis and UAE princes foment war.
Erik Prince was in it, for the $$$ to train Saudi troops.

7. Mnuchin is trying to blame others for the records that his own dept hid, maybe?

There are so many twists and turns in this corruption mess that it's hard to keep up.

15. Why would his department have them to begin with?

[Honeycombe8]

16. Not sure.

I assumed they had to be filed along with other documents because of his work with Trump or the Trump team? Maybe the Trump team had to produce them to be attached to all the forms they had to provide, so Cohen had to provide them to Trump for that use? But it's clear that they are supposed to be there.

These are some of the documents that were leaked recently by a secret source...Cohen bank records in the administration files or database that the source said had been "hidden." The bank records identified that a lot more money had gone through that shell corporation that Cohen set up, and which he used to pay the porn star. Remember that? It was a week or two ago, and already I've forgotten the details. There's just so much going on.

8. I think Nunez took them. Now we are involved in anther investigation. Stop. Stop it. I cant

Believe there are so many crooked, corrupt people elected to our government whose only motivation seems to be money and desire to ruin our constitution. They need to be sent to Mexico to live.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Mnuchin was not elected. He met the grifter qualifications for cabinet post.

14. Nunez goes to the nearest horse stable, rents a nag, rides to

Treasury, gets a bag containing the records, rides to the WH while screaming "Mueller is coming", throws the bag into the waiting arms of IQ45, and returns the nag. The scenario works for me. Certainly fits with what we know about Nunez.

9. If missing, they better be looking inside Treasury. Looks more like a

cover-up to me.

17. His dog ate them, no doubt.
