Justice Dept. charges Minnesota FBI agent for leaking secret document to news outlet
Minneapolis Star-Tribune ^ | March 28, 2018 | By Stephen Montemayor

A former Minneapolis FBI agent has been charged after allegedly leaking secret documents to a national news reporter, according to federal criminal charges filed in Minnesota this week.

The charges, filed by prosecutors for the Justice Department’s National Security Division, are the first to come in Minnesota since Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a broad crackdown on government leaks last year.

A two-page felony information, a charging document that typically signals an imminent guilty plea, outlines two counts filed against Terry J. Albury of unlawfully disclosing and retaining national defense information.

Albury is accused of sharing a document on assessing confidential human sources — otherwise referred to as informants — and a document “relating to threats posed by certain individuals from a particular Middle Eastern country” with a reporter for a national media organization.

What a way to piss away a career and gummint pension, not to mention one’s liberty (hopefully).

This is the problem with giving blanket praise to the “rank and file” at FBI. When the top of the pile is rotten, it’s inevitable some of the rot makes it’s way down.

Here's what the agent was charged with leaking:

The FBI’s Secret Rules: President Trump has inherited a vast domestic intelligence agency with extraordinary secret powers. A cache of documents offers a rare window into the FBI’s quiet expansion since 9/11.
