He pled guilty. Somehow he claims it was a “CIA dirty trick” that induced him to spread info to a reporter.

In the same way it was a “dirty trick” that induced Hillary Clinton to use a non gov server to email classified information.

From the linked Powerline article:

Kiriakou supplied Shane with Martinez’s contact information, including his home address and telephone number. Using that information, Shane proceeded to harass Martinez and his family:
[P]rior to the publication of the Article, Journalist B attempted to contact Officer B in person, by phone, and by email, among other means:

a. Journalist B had visited Officer B’s home on a Sunday, leaving notes under his door and in his mailbox and parking outside his house for almost four hours.
b. On or about May 8, 2008, an individual identifying himself as Journalist B called Officer B’s home and spoke with his wife.
c. On or about April 11, 2008, Journalist B emailed Officer B at his personal email address. Officer B had provided his personal email address to KIRIAKOU, but not to Journalist B or any other journalist.
d. At various times prior to the publication of the Article, Journalist B also contacted Officer B’s mother, sister and a high school friend.

I don’t have the words to describe how disgusting I find this.
