Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a harsh summary report in May revealing that an FBI Deputy Assistant Director had numerous unauthorized contacts with the media, accepted gifts from journalists and disclosed the ‘existence’ of sensitive information under court seal to the media.
Several officials confirmed that the unknown senior FBI official is Bryan Paarmann. He is currently on leave and his security clearance has been suspended, sources stated.
The large number of FBI employees who were in contact with journalists during this time period made it difficult to identify the sources of leaks. Just a thought.
