IRS Analyst Charged for the Criminal Leaking of Michael Cohen's Financial Records to Michael Avenatti, Ronan Farrow

In pages of 7-8 of the criminal complaint, it notes that the analyst, John Fry, leaked to the man who wrote this article, who they call "Reporter 1," but the article is bylined by Ronan Farrow.

For some reason, CNN isn't reporting John Fry's name:

Federal authorities just charged IRS agent John Fry with illegally leaking Michael Cohen’s bank records to creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti. CNN for some reason refused to include Fry’s name in its writeup of his indictment. https://t.co/Q0IvXV6Jsc

Even the stars of shows such as HGTV get at most, $10,000 an episode. And the network will order maybe ten episodes. So, $100,000 grand, minus taxes, and agents fees.

Same with the number floating around that Kaepernick received $80M from the NFL. Considering there is a NDA in place , no one knows what he got, but I highly doubt the NFL settled with him for more money than most of it's most valuable stars are getting. Or that the NFL's insurance company agreed to settle for such a number. I don't know what it is, but I would not be surprised to find out it's maybe $1-2 M will is still more than the $1 bill they should have mailed him.

Any Union is a money laundering scheme if Democrats control the negotiations of contracts.

The Union gives the Democrats "Donations", the Democrats provide the Unions with over generous and under controlled payroll and work rule contracts which then fill the Unions treasury with cash which is then "Donated" back to the Democrats.

It's an ethical violation that should get him in trouble with the Bar, especially if he solicited it (should, but won't) but as far as criminal liability - Pentagon Papers Case, early 70's, only the person who stole the papers is liable, not who they give it to.

209 I try not to eat fast food but sometimes you have to. The KFC by me and all of them seem to have gone down hill. I actually worked at a KFC when I was 15. (I can't believe how long ag that was!) I was there for 2 months or so. Made me never want a fast food job again. Back then cleaning was a constant and the food was actually done fresh. The chicken was hand breaded , biscuits, cole slaw etc. It was actually pretty good. Now when I go in one they are dirty, the food isn't as good and I swear they are getting their breasts from chickadees.

don't need a union to protect your cushy federal job. Short of

never get fired.

doing so would jeopardize their retirement.

That was all changed in 1984 with FERS. Federal Civilians no longer receive those lavish pensions that they used to get.

They have to contribute to Social Security now and their pension calculations are about 1/3-1/4 of what they used to be.

And Federal civilians do have 401k's. That system is called TSP and it is portable and can be converted into a regular 401k when you separate from Federal service.

As noted above, I have fired multiple Federal Civilians. It is not impossible to do. You just literally have to be an a$$hole and make sure your paperwork is 100% correct.

I had one 20+ year employee who continuously came to work late. I would send her an email every day that she was late saying "You were XX minutes late to work this morning. As we have discussed numerous times you need to be at your desk working at your designated starting time. I am coding that XX minutes you were late as AWOL and you will not be paid for that time, any further infractions will be coded the same." she was fired in just a few months.

Give 50 or more of those emails with read receipts to HR and that employee will be gone in six months.

It is neither impossible nor especially difficult to fire a Federal employee. All it requires is documentation. A paper trail. Most managers dislike writing (or are incapable of forming a complete sentence) and so fail to keep records.
Believe me, I've seen enough of 'em walked out to know it's easier than most people think.

But at one point there was a certain cold steely moment when she explained what the agency could do to me. And, being a foreigner and used to the considerably more circumscribed powers of civilized revenue agencies, I said: "Hang on a minute, what about due process?"

And she said: "Well, I wouldn't know anything about that."

360 I'm sure most people here also had their Greek burger joint in their town. Ours in Lake Charles LA was called Mary Ann's and it was just like the SNL skit except a black lady took your order without writing it down and screamed it to the Greek Owner/ Cook. Fantastic and always packed.

361 Chicken at pizza ranch just sounds like someone doesn't know what to serve - try free range pizza maybe?

Free range pizzas are tasty, but notoriously difficult to pluck.

374 Quint, that's amazing. Been to Parker's twice.
Second time, the boss had the fried chicken (I stuck with the pork).
She absolutely loved it.

Small world.

So true. I love that place. It old school North Carolina, in tobacco country. The chicken is legit. I never wanted to try it too because it is a bbq joint.

I'd rather have pizza at the Chicken Ranch. Then we could do some plucking!

378 I worked at Gino's, which had the KFC franchise when
I was 16. The frying station was hard, dirty work and dangerous for a
young teen that hadn't built up his upper body strength yet.

when I got a job as a pharmacy clerk I thought I was in heaven.

381 Anyone try a Korean Fried Chicken place.

Usually expensive for fried chicken but also usually excellent.

I have had Korean style and it was very good. It is just the wings but they are very crispy.
