Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira was arrested at his home Thursday after being implicated in the leak of dozens of sensitive US intelligence documents — the biggest national security breach in at least 10 years.
Law enforcement officers swarmed the home in North Dighton, Mass., about 20 miles east of Providence, RI, hours after the New York Times reported that investigators wanted to speak with Teixeira, who was reportedly stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
The classified pages were disseminated after being posted on a Discord channel linked to YouTuber “wow_mao” and quickly spread when a member of that channel posted some of them to a bigger channel called “
Minecraft Earth Map.”
Sensitive information relating to the war in Ukraine, Israel and South Korea was leaked, sparking international concern.
White House spokesman John Kirby said Monday that the documents, which seem to indicate the US is surveilling its close allies, are “doctored.”
“Without confirming the validity of the documents, this is information that has no business in the public domain. It has no business, if you don’t mind me saying, on the pages of — the front pages of newspapers or on television,” he said. “It is not intended for public consumption, and it should not be out there.”
Commentary:
Why is it that Snowden, Manning and now Teixeira have blown through our Democrat led administrations of Obama and Joe Biden?
Indeed, the deep state is corrupt. That’s still no excuse for exposing our military and espionage personnel to danger. Certainly, he should be prosecuted vigorously. Everyone in the chain of the command that permitted this to happen should be discharged or themselves prosecuted.
So, will WaPo, Reuters, NY Times, etc... “retract” their “news” that it was “Russian Disinformation?”
This kid was an IT technician not directly involved in intelligence, nor was involved in espionage.
Unfortunately, the documents most aren't doctored. The Biden Administration has been caught spying on our allies.
Isn't it amazing how quickly Teixeira was uncovered and caught while we still wait for the Supreme Court leaker!! I wonder why?
Just think a 21 yr. old kid breached the U.S. military espionage system. Our methods of access to our enemies' secrets have been exposed.
There has to be accountability from the Pentagon to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Regretfully there will not be anyone in government or the military held responsible by this young boy.
