Former FBI special agent admits to leaking classified information to media

[roadmaster]

Terry J. Albury, a former Special Agent of the FBI, pleaded guilty today in the District of Minnesota in connection with his unauthorized disclosure and retention of classified national defense information.
Albury allegedly leaked a document to The Intercept relating to online recruitment by a “specific terrorist group,” according to the Department of Justice.

In violating his oath of office Terry Albury not only betrayed the American people, but also his fellow FBI employees who work to safeguard sensitive information on a daily basis,” said Special Agent in Charge Laycock. “No one is above the law and the FBI will continue to investigate individuals who disclose classified material to those who are not authorized to receive it.”

Not sure why people with access to classified info thinks releasing it is a smart move.

Good.....maybe he can share a cell with McCabe.

Probably watched the movie Snowden.

Oliver Stone made a Snowden movie in 2016. There was also a Snowden documentary called Citizenfour that came out in 2014. I would recommend them both.

There is a movie out?

Yep.....of course made by a leftist wherein they want people to focus on Snowden being human and humanizing him. Rather than showing he is a traitor. Directed by Oliver Stone.

Good point. But maybe they just think a few trillion pages of secrets is enough. I wonder what percentage of our ridiculous amount of claffied data really needs to be classified. As in would truly be detremental to anyone but crooked politicians if it got out.

He's a hero. He picked the American people over those who truly betray us with then secret spying and in a thousand other ways.

He is no hero, and do you how many people he put at risk of harm due to his releasing of classified material? He didn't have to release classified material with the names of people.

Want to list the people that were actually harmed?

He didn't just put Americans at risk either.

Several European governments which co-operated with the US are now predictably running for the tall grass, endangering the continuity of existing programs and damaging prospects for future co-operation.

Why haven't McCabe/Comey been prosecuted? Double standards, again. Outrageous.

Well they have been criminally referred. So we should see some charges and an arrest.

[Ethereal]

Yes, he is a hero. Mass spying on Americans is unconstitutional and tyrannical. Exposing it put nobody at risk. Your support for jihadists in Syria puts far more people at risk than anything Snowden ever did.

Allegations made by corrupt intelligence officials carry zero weight among reasonable people.
