Exclamation Pentagon document leaker a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, report

1st Report: Pentagon document leaker a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, report

The person responsible for leaking sensitive Pentagon documents is reportedly a 21-year-old intelligence member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard named Jack Teixeira.

Two U.S. officials confirmed to the New York Times on Thursday that investigators want to speak with Teixeira about the leak of documents that started appearing last year on a Discord online chat group called Thug Shaker Central.

He is allegedly responsible for uploading hundreds of pages of sensitive documents into the chat group, which had about 20 to 30 members, most of whom were young men who shared a love of guns, video games and racist memes.

Teixeira's mother, Dawn, spoke outside of her Massachusetts home Thursday and confirmed that her son worked overnight shifts at a Cape Cod base.

"This guy was a Christian, anti-war, just wanted to inform some of his friends about what’s going on," one of the suspected leaker's friends told the Times. "We have some people in our group who are in Ukraine. We like fighting games, we like war games."

Discord said it was cooperating with law enforcement and President Joe Biden on Thursday said the government was "getting close" to identifying the leaker, who published sensitive information about espionage and Ukraine's war against Russia.

About the Pentagon document leaker who worked on military base, report
Re: https://justthenews.com/government/s...ry-base-report

The person responsible for leaking major U.S. government secrets about espionage and Ukraine's war with Russia is reportedly a young gun enthusiast who works on a military base.

Note: The man, known online as "OG," posted hundreds of messages containing classified information in a group on Discord, an online messaging platform popular with gamers, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The newspaper story said the information was acquired by interviewing two members of the group in which the man shared several sensitive documents a week starting last year.

The two group members spoke on the condition of anonymity but said they know OG's real name and the state in which he lives and works. But they declined to share the information while the FBI is investigating the leaks, they reportedly said.

One of the members received permission from his mom to speak with the paper as he is under 18 and was a young teenager when he met OG, whom he said is in his early to mid-20s.

OG indicated that he brought the documents home from his job on a military base, but the young member declined to say where. OG said he spent at least part of his day in a secure facility that banned electronic devices that could be used to document sensitive information.

The young Discord user was impressed by OG's seemingly prophetic predictions and said, "Only someone with this kind of high clearance" would know these things.

"He’s fit. He’s strong. He’s armed. He’s trained. Just about everything you can expect out of some sort of crazy movie," the member said.

Discord has said it is cooperating with law enforcement.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden said Thursday that the U.S. government is "getting close" to identifying the leaker, according to CNN.

Personal note:

Normally getting into the Pentagon almost requires Congressional Approval of the
highest standards and background checks! My Boss & I once went there I had my
military cards and only had a Confidential Clearance - he needed more before
making the meeting he was to attend. Fortunately he knew the guy who works there and he got himself in but under guard. We had a few military projects back then and he had to have a Marine Guard escort him to his meeting.
-
I was sent to the cafeteria and waited. It's normally a bitch to get into the Pentagon.
How this young guy got such a clearance and a background check - and still pulled off Secret's on camera as well - is beyond me? How he got in there
we should know!? Who sponsored him and how he got such clearances to these documents!? Boy what a screw up - plus taking photo's - my God. Where ever I went - I had a Marine on my ass even when I had to use
the can - I was escorted!
-
My boss was cleared and sat in on a two hour meeting on a government job we would be working on. He got his clearance and got a temporary one which expired after all our work was done on the project.

It's Strange how this one guy got his position and wasn't background
checked - or - if he was someone blew it - and got him in?
-
If you've never been to or drove by the Pentagon its quite the place.
-
And security is very tight! Badges the scanner's - and all your paperwork
clearance's must be signed off - before you get in! And the Marine's are
around every corner in the building & armed!
-
Someone had to sign off this guy - who got the job - and then took those photo's; hmmm - whomever it was he or she may get their clearances pulled!?
