Although with a title like that, this post should belong over at TBIFOC, I simply couldn’t resist. No sooner than I take my eye off of the Bonusgate scandal than the other shoe drops. The FBI has requested Alvarado’s bank records.
The FBI request is for all of Alvarado’s bank accounts, open or closed. It went out Wednesday to major banks across the country through what’s known as the loss avoidance alert system, which is an electronic network connecting banks with law enforcement.
The FBI would not comment on the investigation. But Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal confirmed for KPRC that the federal request was made.
Her attorney Rusty Hardin and spokesman Joe “Butter Wouldn’t Melt In My Mouth” Householder immediately spun it into no big deal, just an example of how cooperative the council member was being with law enforcement, and how anxious happy she was to show that she was a virgin had done nothing wrong.
Her attorney, Rusty Hardin, told KPRC that the FBI’s involvement was expected because Alvarado is a public official.
Her spokesman, Joe Householder, said her account numbers have now been forwarded to the district attorney’s office.
“So they can get a hold of it as quickly as they can,” Householder said. “That actually happened this afternoon. We had reached out to them earlier and said, ‘If you want this material, you can have it.’ And, just as an extra step, we e-mailed those numbers to them.”
Hardin said he contacted the FBI several weeks ago offering to make Alvarado’s or any records available. He said he has not yet heard from the agency. Hardin said this is a natural progression in the investigation and not an indication that Alvarado has done anything wrong.
Yeah……nothing wrong. That’s the ticket. Counting down the seconds until someone claims she’s being persecuted because of backlash against illegal immigrants undocumented workers persons of Hispanic descent.
Hat tip to Bloghouston.
