That was quick. What about the SC leak?
That was 1 of 36 democrat law clerks, democrats don’t face the punishments for their crimes.
@Live And Inspired nice try but the opinion document was written by Justice Samuel Alito, one of the most conservative members of the court.
Military intelligence operators go through security screening before they are accepted to their specialized training , which is in addition to the security screening when they join the service as a recruit. That screening focuses on if they could be a security risk . (i.e. could he be turned into an asset for the Russians) Recruits also pledge allegiance and sign a type of non-disclosure agreement prior to their intel training, so legally if caught he is in deep trouble. Operators have different roles, but primarily collecting and analyzing information and an intel officer presenting a briefing to a commander. The notes he posted on Discord seemed to be at a high level for senior officers? Maybe his role was helping an intelligence officer put together reports from higher and distributing them? Anyway, he is in deep trouble he’s lucky that the last fire squad was carried out in WWII.
From what I understand he was on the cyber security side so I would imagine he looked very hard and hacked for the info.
THE W O KE M IL I TAR Y
@dra6o0n there’s other sources stating the kid was trying to be the big kid on campus. He had a cyber security background so it’s not out of the realm of what you’re saying. Find out soon enough.
😂With the way youth are today, it is the military that are fully responsible to have given that info to a millennial !
Kids 21 years old.
@Derrick Old enough to be charged
@Banjo oh yea, he’s going to be doing some time. He’s not a millennial that was my point.
The LEAKS are the issue and NOT the LEAKER
Facts!!
both are issues
@Sean H only if you enjoy being lied to and subscribe to an ignorance is bliss mindset
@Sean H Not really, no. The leaker is more of a hero trying to save millions of lives.
he is so serious
but a kid
got him ..!!!!!
You can pass all the protocols needed and still turn rogue!
Doing the right thing is considered “rogue” now?
@Walter Grace Hahaha right thing! That’s relative. Right to you may not be right for me just like rogue for me is not rogue for you.
@Heart Donations
What did documents say?
Airman 1st class sounds like the janitor had access to these documents
So who else thinks there pinning this on a 21 year old who was ordered to take the fall??
Yeah, something is not right here. Maybe an intentional leak.?
Definitely. It’s an op. They’re already trying to spin it that he was a “firearms enthusiast”.
I think so too but we will never know. These type always say never let a crisis go to waste. They will find a way to blame Trump as usual. Wonder if it will be a memo this time
I just want to say whatever he leaked thank you for doing your countrymen a great service hopefully we get to see what it is
<<
The kid’s level is too low to get those classified documents!
Someone commented that he may be working in cyber security, hence he might have hacked his way in.
@dra6o0n yeah someone who reads a lot of comic books.
@JP you don’t actually believe that do you?
“In Connection” so he wasn’t alone and will probably be the scape goat???”In Connection” so he wasn’t alone and will probably be the scape goat???
What an embarrassing display of obsequious boot-licking. The content and context of these specific leaks matters far less than the so-called journalistic response.
“How can you create better safety procedures to maintain secrecy?” Is this seriously what passes for journalism? I thought journalists were supposed to fight for a more open Society rather than berate government officials for failing to maintain secrecy.
He is just a kid!
Please don’t let him off the hook easy.😊
Should have just put the documents on a server in his bathroom.
It’s important that the truth comes out. 😊 I hope this person lives to tell the tale.
How does a 21 year old get access to secret documents ? I’m sure this kid was a set up to take the fall, because he is still a kid, they’ll have less punishment for him.
21 old enough to be in the special forces doing the most clandestine activities that America does.

The documents should be micro coated with an encrypted messages via tiny dots/lines. The specific codes should refer to each group or person who has the document, should that document get leaked, you will know who the source of the leak was. You’re welcome.
they already found the dude who leaked it…
Unfortunately he let the truth out which they do there best to hide. He shouldn’t have revealed any names cause that becomes a security risk
