In May 2018, Fry, who works in the IRS' San Francisco office, accessed and downloaded five SARs connected to Cohen, according to the complaint, and then, seeing that other such documents were unavailable in the database, turned over some of the SARs to Avenatti and told The New Yorker reporter that he was alarmed to see other SARs were inaccessible, the complaint says.
In fact, the SARs that were not available to Fry had been given "restricted access" in the system "because they were related to a sensitive open investigation." At the time, Cohen was being investigated by the Manhattan US Attorney's office, which later charged him with eight counts, to which he pleaded guilty.
So, this dope gets himself in trouble for releasing the documents he feared were being hidden from investigation, when in fact, an open investigation was exactly why they were. Hilarious.
