It is widely believed that Albury leaked information to The Intercept
for a series called "The FBI’s Secret Rules," which includes articles entitled
"Despite anti-profiling rules, the FBI uses race and religion when deciding who to target,"
"Secret rules make it pretty easy for the FBI to spy on journalists,"
"When informants are no longer useful, the FBI can help deport them"
"How the FBI conceals its payments to confidential sources."

It’s not clear how many documents from Albury were used in The Intercept’s series
and what information the national news outlet was able to obtain from other sources.
"A whistleblower who exposed systemic abuses at the FBI is set to be sentenced today,"
Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald tweeted Thursday.
"Albury’s 48-month sentence is one of the longest sentences ever received in a federal court for leaking information to the press.
It’s part of a disturbing trend, which began during the Obama administration and has accelerated under the Trump administration,
of the criminalization of the reporting process,"
"He should be honored, not imprisoned."
US District Court Judge Wilhelmina Wright stated that Albury’s disclosure "put our country at risk."
Sterne took issue with the notion that Albury’s disclosures put the nation at risk.
"The government failed to provide evidence to support this claim, and nothing could be further from the truth.
Albury’s disclosures presumably informed the American people
about the controversial tactics that FBI agents are trained to use to recruit informants and to surveil journalists.
These tactics put all Americans’ First Amendment rights at risk."
"He is owed a debt of gratitude, not a prison sentence."
