3. In what way was this person a "whistleblower"?

The USAO SDNY was investigating Cohen for quite a number of months and, if you remember any of the details of this story, the IRS analyst had found that several of the records he sought were already locked down pursuant to the criminal investigation of Cohen.

This person was the victim of a self-aggrandizing and corrupt attorney.

What crime that was not already under investigation did this person uncover and report to authorities?

Do you know what Avenatti had to say about this guilty plea?

He wasn't a whistleblower; the feds already had the info or had access to it. The Velveteen Ocelot Aug 2019 #5
