WASHINGTON – Before the FBI announced it had arrested the suspected leaker of dozens of highly sensitive Ukraine war documents – some of which were created to brief the highest levels of the Pentagon – few would have suspected a 21-year-old National Guardsman as the potential culprit.
The FBI nabbed Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira at his mother’s home Thursday after he was implicated in the biggest national security breach in at least 10 years.

Dumbass should have placed them next to the vette. Supposedly an “Alee alee home free” zone. 😏
Yet Biden had (and probably still does) boxes and boxes of SECRET DOCUMENTS in his possession ILLEGALLY and nobody is at all concerned about that.
F*ckin’ A!
This doesn’t seem very plausible. I think they just don’t care anymore that we know we’re being lied to.
See below link. I always thought it was an accident waiting to happen.

“So, all these sensitive documents are on a secure server just waiting to be downloaded by a young miscreant, then released? Not sure that is plausible.”
Totally plausible. Happens all the time, actually. The only true secret is one that was just created. In short order, it will no longer be a secret.
I don’t know how such things are handled today, but as a COMSEC Custodian back in the 90’s or so, we had access to all the classified docs in the safe in order to inventory and secure them. We could have read them if we wanted although we had no need to know. Most of the shit was very mundane as you accounted for them and occasionally saw some of the text while identifying them.
How did DOD grant such top security clearance to such a low ranking airman?
DOD is in a CYA mode. Congress and the public must hold their feet to the fire. It’s time to re-organize an organization gotten to big, fat, careless and clumsy. They need to be lean and mean!!!
Now, they should go pick up Hillary Clinton for destroying our national security.
From what I’ve read, He worked at Otis AFB - yes, entirely possible at specific units at that command
Our mission is to provide worldwide precision intelligence and command and control along with trained and experienced Airmen for expeditionary combat support and homeland security.
It looks to me like the DOD or whichever agency created a system containing important state secrets that could be exploited by a 21 year old airman. The 21 airman may have criminally downmloaded the documents (innocent until proven guilty). Now they are scapegoating the airman when the system, as designed, is unsecure.
“How did DOD grant such top security clearance to such a low ranking airman?”
Rank has nothing to do with a security clearance. The job has everything to do with it. As a Private E2 I had a Top Secret/Crypto clearance in the Army. All my co-workers of equal rank held the same clearance. In that era anyone that had any chance at all of going near COMSEC/SIGSEC material had to have top clearance.
If you were an Air Force Cryptographic Maintenance Technician (306x0) in the 80’s, you had almost all the tickets and got the briefings that existed in addition to the Top Secret clearance. Pretty much the keys to the candy store. If assigned to the DC area, you had to be approved to be in the PRP (Personnel Reliability Program). It was an enlisted specialty and the ranks went from E-2 to E-9. No one was E-1 (Airman Basic) because that was only for six months and by the time you got out of Tech school, you would have had that much time in or more when you got to your first assignment.
Things are cordoned off for "need to know" access - you can only access things pertaining to whatever project/program you are assigned to.
I am not buying this kid had access to secure info on our overseas force activities and those of our allies. He's just a patsy that will be memory-holed.
The original batch was real, as people who are honest and had that type of access attest to it, and some of it really put the Biden people in a bind, such as spying on just about every country we claim to be ‘friends’ with.
But the later drops, the ones where we’re not even given screen shots of, are fake.
“Totally plausible. Happens all the time, actually.”
Yep, people get comfortable, they get to know and trust each other, and they drop their guard. Human nature, and virtually impossible to prevent at least some level of spying.
