A Minneapolis FBI agent who started his career with the agency as an intern in 2000 has been charged with leaking classified information to the news website The Intercept.
Terry James Albury's attorneys, JaneAnne Murray and Joshua Dratel, said in a statement that their client, the only African-American FBI field agent in Minnesota, was "driven by a conscientious commitment to long-term national security and addressing the well-documented systemic biases within the FBI."
"Terry Albury served the U.S. with distinction both here at home and abroad in Iraq," the statement read. "He accepts full responsibility for the conduct set forth in the Information."
Albury, who was assigned as Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport liaison working on counterterrorism matters, was charged this week by the Justice Department's National Security Division with one count of "knowingly and willfully" transmitting documents and information relating to national defense to a reporter for a national news organization. Albury was also charged with a second count of refusing to hand over documents to the government.
Albury is the second person charged with leaking secret documents to The Intercept. In June 2017, an intelligence contractor was charged with leaking a classified report about Russia's interference in the 2016 election to The Intercept, the first criminal leak under President Trump.
The Intercept does not discuss anonymous sources, editor-in-chief Betsy Reed said in a statement posted on their website.
The Justice Department has vowed to crack down on leaks that it contends undermine national security.

Good! This isn’t some silly game.
Try him, and jail him in a federal pound-me-in-the-@$$ prison.
Leaking Classified Information To Reporter ...
Sounds like something James Comey would do.
Mukhtar M. Ibrahim?
Plus FBI...plus Minneapolis Airport
Not a good combination but sure sounds about right for the Obama FBI
Tell me again, Mommy, how we're all color-blind to race in this country now...
Instantaneously - pre-emptively! - playing the race card. Lol...
In my view, this is what happens when you preferentially recruit agents and employees right out of the universities.
Obviously, it's OK, then. He should be given a promotion and bonus.
Oh, wait! Obama is no longer president.
was “driven by a conscientious commitment to long-term national security and addressing the well-documented systemic biases within the FBI.”
Sounds lie a “freelancing Black” to me, using his position to play the race card.
Looks like the publication that was leaked to (The Intercept) is pretty Left-Wing. So the guy charged here was likely a Leftist as well.
PUT them both in adjoining cells for the next two decades.
Take the proceeds from Comey's book and use it to pay for the prison.

Did the guy get paid for the leaks?
