IG Report Accuses Former FBI Deputy Assistant Director of Leaking "Sensitive" Information to Media, Accepting Gift from a Member of the Media
No prosecution for leaking "sensitive" information?
Oh well, Membership Has Its Privileges.
The Justice Department's inspector general (IG) issued a report Wednesday accusing a former FBI deputy assistant director of leaking "sensitive" information to a member of the press.
A report from the Office of the Inspector General found the unnamed former official had accepted a gift from a member of the media.
In return, the IG report found, the FBI official "engaged in misconduct when the [official] accepted a ticket, valued at approximately $225, to attend a media-sponsored dinner, as a gift from a member of the media, in violation of federal regulations and FBI policy."
...
No charges have yet been filed, with the report stating that prosecution of the former deputy assistant director had been "declined" without providing further explanation. The case has been referred to the FBI for potential further action.
Pretty sure a citizen not employed by the government would be charged, but the government doesn't have to obey the laws it inflicts on the rest of us.
