Former FBI agent Terry Albury is likely to receive between three and five years in prison when he’s sentenced for giving classified information to reporters, raising questions of a double standard benefiting the men who led the bureau at the time of his leaks.
Albury’s illegal activities, which his attorneys call “an act of conscience,” began in February 2016, when the bureau was led by Director James Comey, and continued until August 2017, when FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s three-month stint as acting director ended.
Albury, allegedly motivated by discrimination as the only African-American agent in Minneapolis, is believed to have sent The Intercept a guide to informant recruitment and rules for seizing records from journalists. Albury pleaded guilty Tuesday to two felony counts, and prosecutors want 4-5 years in prison. Albury’s attorneys say 3-4 years would be appropriate.

From the sounds of the material he leaked I would think that more like 3-5 months would be sufficient.
I was told a hundred times on Free Republic no one would be fired, forced to resign, held accountable, prosecuted or sent to prison, etc.
These days, all standards are at least double.
Trump anti-leak drive nets first guilty pleas!
Where are all the people here who said nothing was going to happen, no one would be, held responsible or prosecuted?
What happened?
This is a low level agent in Minneapolis. Let me know when the higher ups in D.C. are indicted, prosecuted an imprisoned.
They seem to be a scarce as public pay phones!
☺☺☺
So this who you thought we were all talking about.
Smile...
You posers keep moving the goal posts...Like Democrats. How ironic.
Btw, ya think this FBI agent will be the last person to be fired in disgrace and or prosecuted?
??
He was only prosecuted because he’s black.
Jimmy boy didn't meet those criteria, so I say fry 'em.
It’s DoubtfulOne!
Direct your attention to the question at room #9 DoubtfulOne.
LOL!
He’s probably a REPUBLICAN!
Let’s wait and see if he goes to prison... I’m betting NOTHING will happen to him.
From March 28:
Terry Albury, whom Minnesota Public Radio reported worked on counterterrorism matters at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, stands accused of two counts — “knowingly and willfully” transmitting national defense information to The Intercept, and refusing to hand over a document related to terrorism recruitment....
The documents Mr. Albury is accused of giving to the Intercept assessed confidential human sources and concerned “threats posed by certain individuals from a particular Middle Eastern country.”
“Rick Thornton, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis Division, said the FBI’s intelligence operations center will be the “nerve center” for Super Bowl [2018] security.” (February 2018)
No one will have to “let you know.” You will know.
I don’t give a flying fuck what color he is.
He leaked classified info he goes to jail.
No less than would have been done to me or any of my colleagues.
