Youssef was transferred from a federal detention center during the past few weeks to an undisclosed halfway house as part of preparation for his release, Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman Ed Ross said.

He is due to be freed on September 26 but will remain under the supervision of probation officials for the next four years, Ross said.

More secrecy.

[Uncle Miltie]

Where is the public record of the government’s case against him?

[C210N]

This experience will teach him to never ever Ever kill ex-Navy Seals and an Ambassador to another country EVER again! /sar

[DonkeyBonker]

The government reserves the right to arrest him the next time they need a scapegoat or another cover up for a phony scandal.

[Leaning Right]

This is really confusing. According to the article, Youssef is on probation for bank fraud. And by making that movie, he violated his parole.

The article does not explain why making a movie is a parole violation. This seems more like an application of the old saying: "if the Fed's want ya, they got ya."

Did he get the formal apology Obama and Hillary sent to him?

[Gaffer]

Well, all of that is double-secret probation confidential.....just like Obama's real birth certificate, like his social security number, like his college entrance applications, his transcripts, records et al for anything in his life, the written orders (that backed up verbals) given by the White House to US forces in the Benghazi locale to STAND DOWN, like the factual legal bases with precedents or fundamental statutory citations from his weasel legal council staff for all the ObamaCare crap he's enacting. Tyrants don't need precedent, nor reasons. They need only a whim and an order to disseminate.

[The Great RJ]

Just what exactly did this guy do other than make an obscure video critical of Islam? Was he convicted of any crime or was he just arrested as a scapegoat?

[17th Miss Regt]

He was used as a distraction and scapegoat. But he knows too much and has been placed in a known location for, um..., later disposal.

[windcliff]

I believe part of his original probation was to stay off the internet using fake names.

Just checking to see which articles about Benghazi are still available from their sources.

This one at Yahoo!, sourced from Reuters, is no longer available. The Reuters article is still online.
