Terry Albury
============

Terry Albury was a special agent in the FBI's Minneapolis field office whom Kiriakou describes as "a courageous FBI agent." Albury had filed a racial discrimination case against the Bureau, which Kiriakou calls "notoriously racist", after being passed over for promotion despite being, in Kiriakou's assessment, more competitive than white agents promoted ahead of him.

An internal study of racism at the FBI was subsequently carried out. Albury photographed the document on his screen with his phone and sent an encrypted copy to The Intercept, where it was received by Matthew Cole. "And Matthew Cole outed him to the FBI. And Terry Albury was arrested and charged with espionage and convicted and sent to prison."

Kiriakou's response at the time was public. He tweeted at the publication directly: "Hey Intercept, serious question. You guys aren't really that stupid, are you? You aren't really that bad at journalism, are you? You're really just a front for the FBI, right?" He now counts Albury and Reality Winner among his friends.
