A former analyst for the FBI admitted Tuesday to copying the private emails of a conservative conspiracy theorist and sharing them with his superiors while his wife offered them to the press.
Mark Tolson, 60, pleaded guilty in federal court in Alexandria, Va., to one misdemeanor count of accessing without authorization the email account of lobbyist Jack Burkman. Burkman is identified in the court documents by the initials J.B.
Tolsons wife, Sarah Gilbert Fox, worked for Burkman from October 2017 to early summer 2018 and had access to his email, according to a statement of facts. Tolson learned in October that Burkman, who gained prominence for conspiracy theories about the death of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, was planning a news conference claiming that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III committed sexual assault.
According to prosecutors, Tolson asked his wife to see whether she still had access to Burkmans account, and they spent 15 or 20 minutes reviewing, photographing and printing emails of interest.
Fox and Tolson both then contacted a reporter to share the information and offered to provide Burkmans password.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of one year.

They spied on Jack Burkman :

Yes: Ex-Marine admits he lured Seth Rich conspiracy theorist Jack Burkman to a hotel parking garage, then shot him. Burkman initially claimed a former U.S. intelligence officer had told him Russia arranged Seth Rich’s murder: Burkman said he’s been contacted about the investigation by a former U.S. intelligence officer with knowledge of the murder. In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Burkman claims Rich was killed after discovering Russians hacked the DNC. . .While Burkman is reluctant to elaborate, he revealed he was recently contacted about the investigation by a man claiming to be a former U.S. intelligence officer. The source is an older man, 65-70 years old, who claims to have been a contractor in Iraq in the 1970s, he revealed. ‘The source has claimed that it [the murder] was arranged by the Russian government at a very high level,’ Burkman said.’He didn’t specify who or how. He just said he had knowledge it was arranged by the Russian government and stressed that it was at a high level.’ He added: ‘I’ve met this person and he seems very credible. We’re now investigating the allegations he has made.’ Burkman believes the source will cooperate with the investigation. He is wary about revealing too much and has hired a private security firm to protect his family. ‘These days we all know what the Russian government is like and because I’m concerned with my safety and my family’s safety, I have to be careful about what I put on the record,’ he said. Burkman believes that Rich was killed after discovering Russian operatives had hacked the DNC through his work on a ‘highly important voter registration program’. . . He has been a frequent collaborator with Jacob Wohl of Gateway Pundit.

And now an FBI agent pled guilty after spying on Burkman using a password obtained through his wife, and the FBI agent demonstrated he was politically biased by running to the press with what he found in the guy’s emails.
