I wonder what he released and why.

Interesting question, doubt we will ever find out.

"Albury also accessed documents on a classified computer and took pictures of the computer screen in order to photograph certain classified documents. Those additional classified documents were recovered on an electronic storage device found during a search of his home. "

When your sworn word means nothing, you are nothing.

Got nothing to say after that. 

Seriously.  When you are an officer of the law everything you do or say is judged.  Sometimes on the street, sometimes in the office, and all the time in court.

It's fine to make an honest mistake:  But if you lie:  You hurt everyone.

According to court documents, beginning in 2016 and continuing through August 2017, Albury knowingly and willfully disclosed national defense information, classified at the Secret level, to a reporter. Albury employed methods to avoid detection, including printing documents that he created by cutting and pasting portions of an original document into a new document so as to avoid leaving a record of having printed the original, classified document. Albury also accessed documents on a classified computer and took pictures of the computer screen in order to photograph certain classified documents. Those additional classified documents were recovered on an electronic storage device found during a search of his home.

Whatever the nature of the secrets, he certainly went to a lot of trouble to hide his tracks. 

Motivation?  I'm guessing money and/or sex.
