“A former analyst with the Kansas City Division of the FBI was sentenced in federal court today for illegally retaining documents related to the national defense at her residence. Kendra Kingsbury, 50, of Garden City, Kansas, was sentenced by US District Judge Stephen R Bough to three years and 10 months in federal prison without parole. Kingsbury pleaded guilty on Oct 13, 2022, to two counts of unlawfully retaining documents related to the national defense,” says a DOJ press release.
“Kingsbury admitted that, over the course of her FBI employment, she repeatedly removed from the FBI and retained in her personal residence (at that time in North Kansas City, Mo) an abundance of sensitive government materials, including classified documents related to the national defense. In total, Kingsbury improperly removed and unlawfully and willfully retained approximately 386 classified documents in her personal residence. Some of the classified documents she unlawfully removed and kept in her home contained extremely sensitive national defense information. According to court documents, Kingsbury put national security at risk by retaining classified information in her home that would have, if in the wrong hands, revealed some of the government’s most important and secretive methods of collecting essential national security intelligence.”
Weird how she pleaded guilty instead of posting on Truth Social about how Joe Biden got away with it, or that FBI planted the documents in her house, or that she didn’t have time to go through all the papers because her golf pants and newspaper articles were mixed into the boxes.
