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

Posted on 03/28/2018 2:36:43 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

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.

The only thing, now that can save this shead is if he can get the opportunity to shoot & kill a woman holding a baby in her arms...In the FBI this assures a promotion and no charges for anything else...

Since it’s the John Adams project it is very likely this was a John Kerry-backed deal and the “Middle Eastern” country in question is probably Iran.

Are agents in MN coordinating with other parts of the country where law enforcement performance is compromised by the political/ideological leadership? Like Broward County Florida?

The JAP are the group which staked out the homes of CIA agents whose identities were leaked to them in order to obtain photograps of the agents- they then showed these photos to Gitmo detainees in order to identify interrogators.

If Dratel is involved in this, then no doubt, so is Eric Holder.

His attorney’s statement: “He accepts full responsibility for the conduct set forth in the Information. We would like to add that as the only African-American FBI field agent in Minnesota, Mr. Albury’s actions were driven by a conscientious commitment to long-term national security and addressing the well-documented systemic biases within the FBI.”
*************************************************
“...the only African-American FBI field agent in Minnesota...”

So, 100% of the Black FBI field agents in Minnesota are traitors? Good to know.

The John Aams Project leaks of CIA interrogator files to detainees were “investigated” by none other than Comey’s pal Fitzgerald, prosecutor of Scooter Libby fame [which is probably why very little came of it.]

To: Ernest_at_the_Beach Adding a note from the Weekly standard: CIA Says Gitmo Bar Endangered Its Agents [Andy McCarthy] ***********************EXCERPT******************************** [Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald] was called into the case after agency officials voiced worries that Justice Department investigators did not share their level of concern over the danger that al Qaeda terrorists at Guantanamo, including Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, could secretly send information on the identities of CIA officers to al Qaeda terrorists outside the prison through the attorneys. A senior Justice Department National Security Division official, Donald Vieira, recused himself from the probe earlier this month as a result of the interagency dispute. Mr. Vieira was a Democratic counsel on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, before taking a post at the Justice Department.... Regarding the interagency dispute, some CIA officials are said to be concerned that Justice Department investigators may have been advocates on behalf of the Guantanamo Bay detainees prior to joining the Obama administration.... 2 posted on ‎3‎/‎31‎/‎2010‎ ‎10‎:‎48‎:‎19‎ ‎PM by Ernest_at_the_Beach ( Support Geert Wilders)

Last evening Greta Van Sustern talked about this on Fox News. She went further to say that it appeared that some of these defense attorneys for the prisoners are now working in the US Justice Department. 23 posted on ‎4‎/‎8‎/‎2010‎ ‎6‎:‎57‎:‎41‎ ‎AM by tired&retired

Actually this is important information to get out.

I think he was responding to a rogue FBI.

The ACLU undertook the so-called “John Adams Project” with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers — last seen crusading for convicted jihadi assistant Lynne Stewart. She’s the far-left lawyer who helped sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, convicted 1993 World Trade Center bombing and N.Y. landmark bombing plot mastermind, smuggle coded messages of Islamic violence to outside followers in violation of an explicit pledge to abide by her client’s court-ordered isolation.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers of the United States established the John Adams Project to “support military counsel at Guantanamo Bay.”
In August 2009 claims were made that three military lawyers associated with the project had shown pictures of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officers to their clients, Guantanamo captives. The captives were among the “high value detainee” program who had spent years in secret CIA interrogation centers.

Bill O’Reilly
I am so enraged by the John Adams Project, a group of subversive Americans affiliated with the ACLU who are sneaking around taking pictures of CIA agents who may have interrogated captured al-Qaeda guys in the wake of the 9/11 attack. This insidious outfit believes the CIA tortured casually and the USA is a “human rights violator.”
After taking the surreptitious photos, the Adams Project then passes them on to lawyers representing incarcerated terrorists, hoping that an accused man will, in turn, accuse a CIA agent of torturing him. This nasty business is now being investigated by the Justice Department, but the Obama administration has kept very quiet about it and, strangely, so has the media.
By exposing CIA agents to accused terrorists and their lawyers, the John Adams Project is obviously putting lives in jeopardy. This is a thousand times worse than the Plame affair, which saw top Dick Cheney aide Scooter Libby convicted of a felony while the press largely celebrated.
But where is the coverage of the Adams story? Where is President Obama on the issue? Why are these people being allowed to terrorize the Central Intelligence Agency?
Relevant questions. We await the answers.

The probe was triggered by the discovery last year of about 20 color photographs of CIA officials in the cell of Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, an alleged financier of the 9/11 attacks, say three current and former government officials who asked not to be identified talking about an ongoing case.
The photos included “paparazzi style” snapshots of covert CIA officers on the street and in other public places, says one former official, an indication that private investigators had taken them on the sly to identify agency interrogators. When told of the discovery, CIA officials immediately grew alarmed that the photos had been shared among the 9/11 defendants, including alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. (The judge in charge of the military-commission case at the time had ruled that because some defendants, including Mohammed, were representing themselves, they could meet privately with their alleged co-conspirators and share material relevant to their defense.) The photos in al-Hawsawi’s cell were not captioned with the agents’ identities. But “there was real concern” that the pictures could be used to identify covert officers, resulting in agents becoming the targets of Qaeda revenge plots, says the former official.
