The name of a former top FBI official who leaked sensitive information over the course of hundreds of communications with at least six reporters can be revealed by the Washington Examiner.
The name is contained in a 21-page report obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. The report reveals that investigators for Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz determined that Bryan Paarmann, 53, the deputy assistant director of the FBIs international operations division from 2016 to 2017, improperly disclosed court-sealed and law enforcement sensitive information to the media in violation of FBI rules.
The incident is one Horowitz included as part of what his June 2018 report called the FBIs culture of unauthorized media contacts. A one-page summary of the investigation was released last May.
Although most identifying details about the reporters in question and the cases Paarmann was leaking details of were redacted, the Washington Examiner was able to identify one of the reporters in question, Los Angeles Times reporter Del Wilber, and two of his stories that the DOJs watchdog alleged contained details leaked by Paarmann.
A West Point graduate and former U.S. Army officer, Paarmann's website features a photograph of him standing next to Mitt Romney, the junior U.S. senator for Utah and the 2012 Republican presidential candidate, and states: "C. Bryan Paarmann FBI is a 30+ year career public servant who has faithfully and honorably served the United States in a variety of different positions." Another page on his site states: "Bryan Paarmann is protective of his country and is a proud American. In many ways, he has faithfully and honorably served his homeland."

Sacrificial lamb.
And he is not being prosecuted because?
The creature from the black lagoon.
A Mitt follower? I think Never Trumpersare as dangerous as far leftists
More like one of denizens of Beowulf’s lake of monsters.
“...in violation of FBI rules.”
He broke a rule, not a law. Hand slap.
we need a single answer for all of the leakers and liars in the FBI, Fry their asses.
Bryan Paarmann -fall guy designate.
Mitt Romney approves this method.
Echo chamber journalism was the Obama cabal rule. Ben Rhodes bragged about it.

The FBI needs to get rid of all their problem children. This one, but the others too (including Comey, who belongs in prison for the rest of his life).
let me know when he’s sentenced.
C. Bryan Paarmann, a West Point deep state disgrace.
Language like the highlighted item below always stands out to me in reports like this. There's a difference between breaking the law and violating FBI rules.
The report reveals that investigators for Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz determined that Bryan Paarmann, 53, the deputy assistant director of the FBIs international operations division from 2016 to 2017, "improperly disclosed court-sealed and law enforcement sensitive information to the media" in violation of FBI rules.

The Never Trumpers are the Wall St. Oligarchy, the Rockefeller “Eastern Liberal Establishment” that the John Birch Society was screaming about. They are a criminal mafia aristocracy centered at Goldman Sachs and the City of London. Watch these videos and get some target aquisition happening:

His punishment: demoted to deputy assistant deputy to the assistant director for plans and diversity training, GS-14, step 10, $157,709 (plus overtime).
He broke several rules, many times, and the only punishment he got was losing his job. I wonder if he even got a disciplinary letter in his personal folder. And I'll bet he's still got friends at the FBI who would give him good recommendations for new jobs. I'd bet since he's 53, he was given the option to retire.
If it’s “Court Sealed” and he’s not the court and he illegally un-seals it through his actions. He should be perp-walked into that court, in shackles and an orange jump-suit, charged with criminal contempt and tried.
