As I still believe there was someone higher with access that gave him this info ( no source just my own hunch) and I hope the government figures it out, MAGA is already rushing to call this dude a hero. Yikes. One of those MGT, is head of the House Committee for Homeland Security.

What if a citizen had posted the Pentagon Papers instead of having the Post do it?

If this kid had given this to the Post, would they have printed it?

it's funny to me how so many on the left considered Snowden a hero from his leaks yet want texeira prosecuted. and vice versa with the right.

I will say this: a small fractional amount of Snowden's leaks were at least somewhat defensible because they exposed illegal domestic monitoring. there is zero reason for texeira to leak what he did.

I think anyone leaking this stuff puts American lives at risk. End of story. Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. And that includes reality winter and Donald J Trump.

I am concerned how someone this low on the totem pole has this level of access. Clearly a dip shit and yet here we are.

Based on his social media he was very right wing and antigovernment. Vetting of our TSI clearances is clearly wanting.

Intel specialists require some of the highest asvab scores. Those kids might have acted dumb, but they were smarter than most enlisted.

Question for all: let's say you had access to classified information and you discovered that the US was doing something severely illegal and corrupt. Would you disclose it to the public?

There are strict policies and procedures for guarding this information. But people are sometimes careless. He could have swiped the documents from a safe (I have no idea what actually happened) or off some analyst’s desk when he went to the bathroom and was only going to be gone a couple minutes. They all work on the same team (well, theoretically) so there is likely physical access adjacency enough if someone had bad intent. Heads are gonna roll at the Massachusetts National Guard one way or another. Many balls seemed to have been dropped.

Yeah. I don’t think he was the only level at which the process failed. I have multiple family members that have/had classified info access via armed services. Speaking with them they are just as perplexed and concerned.

There is a good washington post article on these discord rooms and things where this happened for people like me who didn’t understand what the fuck that was. I cant figure out how to like the article.

Discord is very popular with the kids theses days. Many internet content creators use it. I am in a 12 man team on a few Xbox games and we use it for social activities and communicating with each other. It’s very helpful. As with all things technology can be used for all kinds of purposes

Can we all have a moment of honesty and acknowledge how badly Trump would have been raked through the coals in the media and by Dems if this leak happened under his watch?? FAR more than anything Biden has endured.

"How could have Trump let this happen?!"
"This shows how poorly Trump's administration is run and how off the rails it is!"
"Trumps lack of leadership has now put the US in danger of WWIII due to these leaks!"
"Trumps unpresidential demeanor has encouraged the chaos that led to the leakers poor judgment!"
"Trump's fascist tendencies have emboldened the leaker to undermine our Democracy!"
"Was Trump behind these leaks in an attempt to destabilize the US and implement dictatorial control?!"

Sounds like Ukraine’s long anticipated offensive started. Real hard to find news on it. Only place I saw it was The Reporting from Ukraine youtube channel.
