Accused Pentagon leaker was warned repeatedly about his mishandling of classified documents, prosecutors say

The Air National Guardsman who is accused of posting a trove of classified documents to social media was repeatedly warned by his superiors in the Air Force over his mishandling of classified documents, prosecutors say.

 

In court documents arguing for Jack Teixeira’s continued detention, prosecutors said that the 21-year-old’s “willful disregard” of his obligation to protect classified information has become more apparent in the weeks since he last appeared in court.

 

“In particular, the Defendant’s disclosures (and associated boasting) continued even after being admonished by his superiors on two separate occasions — once in September 2022 and once in October 2022 — amid concerning actions that the Defendant took related to classified information,” prosecutors wrote.

Nepotism? - did the Jack Teixeira get and keep his position and security clearance due to his stepfather. Based on my experience, it's strange that he wasn't sacked and/or clearance removed on the first occasion.

 

"Thomas Dufault, his stepfather, retired as a master sergeant in 2019 from the 102nd Intelligence Wing, the same unit Teixeira was in."  https://www.reuters.com/world/us/jack-teixeira-who-is-man-arrested-over-leaked-pentagon-documents-2023-04-14/

Looks like a child  What secrets exactly did he expose?

I don't understand that bit about repeated warnings about taking notes.   I worked with documents from confidential to extremely sensitive Top Secret.    Any one caught the first time, taking notes about classified documents and putting the notes in their pocket, would have been arrested by the MP's (military police)!  This would have lead to punishment by Article 15 or a courts martial, depending on what classified information the notes were related to!

Accessing documents that you did not have access to, was also punished by an Article 15 under the UCMJ, if it was determined you did it deliberately, even if you had the appropriate level security clearance.  .

Well, the MAGA movement was defending Texeira as some kind of hero. Let's see how the latest revelations affect that

 

MAGA-world is rushing to defend Jack Teixeira, the accused Pentagon leaker who allegedly dumped secret documents online to impress his teenage gamer buddies

"Tonight, the news media are celebrating the capture of the kid who told Americans what's actually happening in Ukraine," Carlson said. "They are treating him like Osama bin Laden, maybe even worse actually, because, unlike Al Qaeda, apparently, this kid is a racist."

While making the case that Ukraine was actually losing the war, Carlson shared bogus casualty figures from an altered version of one of the leaked documents that misleadingly slashed the number of estimated Russian casualties in the war.

White, Male, Christian And Antiwar’: Marjorie Taylor Greene Defends Suspected Classified Documents Leaker.

In a tweet on Thursday, Greene identified Teixeira as “white, male, christian, and antiwar” and said this makes him “an enemy to the Biden regime.”

The Georgia lawmaker then implied that President Joe Biden’s administration was “the real enemy” for “waging war in Ukraine . . . against nuclear Russia without war powers.”

Greene defended Teixeira’s leaks, saying he revealed the truth about “troops being on the ground in Ukraine and a lot more.”

21 years old, he has the obligation to fight and die for his country, not betray it.

There's a thing called search engines that are used on something called the internet. You could use one of them to ask this question:

"What secrets did Jack Texeira expose?"

Where on earth would they let such a nut job as MTG hold such a position in government. 

 

BUT, having said that it really goes to show that the GOP is a party of MAGA loonies and are desperately searching for something to cling onto in order to besmirch the Democrats and Biden – – sad for a country which was once held in high esteem.

Do you have a real need to know?

 

Perhaps that is the reason why they were kept secret.
