An FBI Analyst Is Going to Prison (7 days + $500. fine) for Illegal Email Hacking of a Political Enemy...to Protect Mueller

[Townhall] While U.S. Attorney John Durham continues his criminal investigation into FISA abuse and other misconduct at the FBI, CIA, DIA and other federal government intelligence agencies, one of Special Counsel Robert Mueller allies was just sentenced to prison.

Mark Tolson, a former FBI analyst, illegally accessed the emails of right wing activist Jack Burkman in order to protect Mueller. He admitted to doing so in federal court last week. He will serve seven days behind bars and has been ordered to pay a $500 fine.

"I did what I did to try to protect Director Mueller, who can protect himself," Tolson told U.S. District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema.

After illegally sifting through emails, Tolson attempted to leak them to the press.

"After snooping through Burkman’s account, Tolson sent screenshots of the messages and offered the password to an unspecified journalist, court filings say," POLITICO reports.

#1 We don't need no stinking warrants. If we do, we can just lie to the judge. (do I need to put a /sarc on that?)

#3 ...professional courtesy. Now if he was Wikileaks, something short of death.

#4 Hopefully Tolson and the Durham team will be able to establish a very close working relationship. I recommend 7 days at the Jekyll Island Club Resort.
