Terry James Albury, a former FBI agent in Minnesota, was sentenced to four years in prison with an additional three years of supervised release on Thursday in U.S. District Court..
Albury admitted that he leaked documents to a reporter from The Intercept, an online news publication. He worked as an FBI Special Agent at the field office in Minneapolis at the time of the disclosure in 2016-2017. He was also working as a liaison with the Department of Customs and Border Protection at MSP International Airport during that same time period.
Before the judge handed down four year prison sentence, former FBI agent Terry Albury made a final statement: I sincerely wanted to make a difference and never meant to put anyone in danger. He accepted full responsibility.

read the whole stry. It's not long. The guy claimed, at the time of his plea, that he did it because he perceived racism within the FBI.
How much anyone wanna bet that this guy will be kept in some kind o segregated confinement because of his status as a former FBI agent?
Comments or opinions - anyone?
This is excellent excellent news
he didn’t leak info damaging to the trump administration. this wasn’t unmasking flynn, or DJT’s tax returns, or any of the mueller crap we’ve seen leaked.
he leaked procedural stuff because he felt discriminated against.
this isn’t what the headline leads many of us to think it is.
...and James Comey?
“Now this IS the kind of FBI story that I like to hear - IOW, someone going to frickin’ jail for a change!”
this guy is the very lowest hanging fruit in Gov’t corruption.
He was a spy and should be hung. Having access to classified info and leaking deserves the rope.
he didnt leak info damaging to the trump administration. this wasnt unmasking flynn, or DJTs tax returns, or any of the mueller crap weve seen leaked.
he leaked procedural stuff because he felt discriminated against.
this isnt what the headline leads many of us to think it is.

What he leaked was stuff that he thought was anti-Muslim. Stuff precisely aimed to hurt Trumps travel ban and therefore Trump.
Good news, yes. It’s something.
Is it one of the many big fish...?
Nope.
To me this is just a step up from the photo-happy Submariner guy going to the clink.
Honestly, US law enforcement is way more interested in baseball guys on steroids and potheads than the really dedicated criminals.
The FBI is a cess pool commanded by CessPoolers.
How bout simply doing your job asshole? These people make me sick. I hope they all go down.
Ben Dover will enjoy his time in the slammer. They love the po po!
from the mn star, the local pub to where this is happening:
. . . for leaking sensitive internal documents, some of which that later surfaced in a news story raising questions about the Bureau's methods for recruiting confidential informants.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
The article is very weak on facts, deliberately, which is the problem of a biased press with its own agenda.
One leaker sent to jail and hopefully a bunch to follow.
<>Albury's attorneys released a statement saying Albury was acting out of conscience, and that he felt troubled, alleging racism within the FBI.
IOW Albury is a muzzie. May this traitor rot in prison and find a husband along the way.
Good. An example needs to be made of all of them.
Art Bell told me he is buried in McCain's coffin.
Yet the Clintons walk around free and smug.
Since his crime was not violent, he may be sent to one of the minimum security “country club” prisons. That is probably part of his plea deal.
