I have been reading about this for days. Many Ukraine documents leaked as well as spying conducted by the U.S. on allies. Demonstrations in Israel against Netanyahu linked to Mossad. FBI arrests suspected Pentagon leaker: Air National Guard member, 21, is cuffed and led out of his mother's Massachusetts home for 'dumping top secret intelligence docs in Discord chatroom' in one of America's worst security breaches https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...-documents-leak.html _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

I have an idea of what should be done with the type of people like this that break that level of trust and potentially put others at risk. Any way we can maybe transport his ass to Florida? 11 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

Who is giving high level clearances to people like this? Is the FBI responsible for the screening? In years past there was very thorough and comprehensive vetting. | |||

Serious question...Do you know how many people have this level of clearance? It's really not THAT high...there are WAY higher compartmentalized areas. This is low level stuff to be honest. The shear number of folks makes it hard. It's not like trusting the 4 dudes in your neighborhood. With all that said, I'm making no excuses for this POS. 11 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

I would imagine it’s as extensive as when I was in (90-94). For my TS CNWDI they actually talked to people in the neighborhood I grew up in and went to High School with. | |||

Apart from the betrayal of trust issues, and the apparent lack of diligence in clearing this traitor, there is the bigger question of what the heck is the rationale for the ANG having access to these documents at all? Whether cleared or not, there is always a need to know component of a security policy. Why did this low-level staffer need to know this sensitive information to do his job? Will the upper level staff that allowed this be "investigated" as well? Just spitballin' here...what are the odds that Teixeira's political leanings had no influence on his clearance? I ask this not knowing what his politics might be, but I guess I have become pretty jaded when it comes to matters of integrity in government. | |||

From the OP's link: In a video seen by The Post, the man is seen at a shooting range with a large rifle, wearing safety glasses and ear coverings. The man looks into the camera and yells racial and antisemitic insults, then fires multiple rounds at a target. Gee, I wonder if the media will keep telling us about his guns... | |||

Without knowing more about his unit and his duties, I question how a 21-year old Enlisted individual had TOP SECRET access to this classified. Not everyone in the Intelligence Section was allowed access everything in the Intel Vault; or leastwise they couldn’t when I was in the ANG. Where did the need-to-know concept go? Where was his supervisor in all of this? Didn’t anyone in his unit grow suspicious over his actions and his website accessing and the material being disseminated? I suspect that there’ll be a major shakeup in leadership in that unit by the end of this weekend. This has been a MAJOR FUBAR !!!! --------------------- LGBFJB "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

There are thousands of people in the military that age with access to this type of information. It's kind of how the job gets done. 11 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

Hell, I was younger than this guy(19) and had a TS clearance, as Otto said, it's not uncommon. This guy was an IT guy, it would be damn near impossible to do that kind of job without a reasonably high clearance. AND has been mentioned, there are tons of people with a TS clearance, "need to know" would pretty much be a moving target for an IT guy... __________________________________ NRA Benefactor I lost all my weapons in a boating, umm, accident. http://www.aufamily.com/forums/ | |||

The FBI was able to catch this fella real quick, but still yet nobody has been arrested for the Supreme Court leak!!! Interesting......perhaps the right people wanted the leak from the USSC, but not from the Pentagon. Just a thought. | |||

From one of the articles that I read: “The Times reported that Teixeira "oversaw a private online group named Thug Shaker Central, where about 20 to 30 people, mostly young men and teenagers, came together over a shared love of guns, racist online memes and video games." The little fuck is 21 years old; he’s not even old enough to pretend to be outraged our disillusioned like Snowden. I have to imagine all of the assorted Alphabet Soup dudes are tripping over themselves trying to get some alone time with this kid. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

TS clearances are comprehensive when first issued but they don't usually get updated enough unless you're in one of the alphabet agencies. In this case, he could have been golden when first cleared. In my opinion, the large number of Top Secret clearances issued yearly probably wouldn't ferret out his underlying issue(s). I doubt he had yearly updates. Allegedly, he's a IT support person for the intelligence dept that he worked for so he probably had access to a ton of stuff and he's allegedly uploaded hundreds of classified files over the last six months or so. I'm not confident he'll see many years in federal prison given the history of his kind of crime e.g, Daniel Ellsberg, Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning or Reality Winner. These are the ones we know about. | |||

At 21, no matter what agency he was with he wouldn't have been due for a reevaluation. 11 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

They're giving children top security clearance. What could go wrong with that?  | |||

Mistake Not... |
The Supreme Court leak was a one shot thing in an organization where everyone was a top level legal genius, that trusted people to be quiet and had zero way to monitor anything and with investigators having less than full authority to investigate with individuals having both the right and authority to tell the investigators to "f*^k off" when it comes into looking into their business. With this, this guy was no rocket scientist, there were mulitple leaks of multiple things with lots of ways to track and monitor and with at least four (FBI, DIA, CIA, and NSA) agencies putting MAJOR resources into fixing this leak immediately. You're not even comparing apples to oranges, more like apples with asteroids. ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.
