Well, another anti-Trump FBI agent bites the dust.
It never fails—whatever these left-wing loons accuse Trump of, they end up doing themselves. And here’s a perfect example of that: Johnathan Buma, a weaponized FBI agent who was a tried and true member of the Russia Hoax fan club, accused the Trump administration of “political bias” and floated the idea that Rudy Giuliani was compromised by Russian agents. Classic projection.
But now, after all is said and done, Buma’s the one in handcuffs.
According to officials, this disgraced agent is accused of illegally leaking confidential information, all in an effort to write his big tell-all book. He even posted excerpts online, including sensitive info about FBI investigations into foreign weapons of mass destruction programs.
And just when things were heating up, Buma tried to get out of Dodge by fleeing the US. That plan didn’t work out too well—he was arrested at JFK Airport before he could skip out.
Joseph MacKinnon of The Blaze wrote an article on the fall and capture of Agent Buma.
The Blaze:
An FBI agent who accused the first Trump administration of political bias and claimed that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani “may have been compromised” by Russian agents was arrested at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday before he could flee the country.
According to the criminal complaint filed Tuesday, Johnathan Buma was charged with illegally disclosing confidential documents.
Buma, a 15-year FBI veteran and counterintelligence specialist who criticized the first Trump administration’s handling of classified information, allegedly printed out nearly 130 files from internal FBI networks in October 2023.
At least eight of the files Buma allegedly printed out contained “sensitive information reports relating to a foreign adversary,” and some files contained information that confidential human sources provided to the FBI, which “were clearly marked with protected warnings that made clear that the information was to be protected,” said the complaint.
Buma allegedly also printed out screenshots of messages he exchanged with a confidential source via an encrypted messaging application — images containing information the complaint noted somehow ended up in a news article later that year.
After he allegedly printed what he needed for his tell-all autobiographical book, Buma notified his supervisors of his intent to go on leave without pay. It appears that Buma was not discreet about the planned contents of his book during his unpaid sabbatical, sharing excerpts on social media and allegedly circulating a draft via email that allegedly included details about the bureau’s investigations into a foreign country’s weapons of mass destruction program.
“The book draft contained information that Buma obtained through his position as an FBI Special Agent that relates to the FBI’s efforts and investigations into a foreign country’s weapons of mass destruction program,” said the complaint.
