Snowden Case: FBI Searches Home of Suspected "Second Leaker"

Written by C. Mitchell Shaw

The FBI has recently searched the home of "an employee of a federal contractor" suspected of leaking sensitive, classified government files to the media. As noted by Yahoo! News, the information is based on information from unnamed sources in law enforcement and intelligence, and evidently the search is part of a criminal investigation by federal prosecutors. It is not known what information led to the search or what was found, if anything.

 

For months now, there have been hints about the possibilty of a second person leaking classified documents to reporters close to the Snowden story. The speculation stemmed from disclosures about U.S. government surveillance that came after Snowden left the country and, therefore, could not possibly have come from him.

 

In early August, The Intercept, whose editors include Glenn Greenwald, posted an article entitled Barack Obama's Secret Terrorist-Tracking System, by the Numbers which includes details of the Terrorist Screening Database. Scissors-32x32.png
